I usually say power of the modem for about 10 seconds when I want the modem rebooted so i assume you spoke to our offshore colleagues.
Here is how to use the gamefiles site.

If you are a Virgin Media customer then the best speedtest is from the link below.
Have you tried going to this link to check your speeds
http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/
click on blueyondergames>demos>then click on at least 2 large files around 400/500 mb and save them to your desktop, and then wait a couple of minutes then write down the transfer rates on the files that are running > times them by 8 and you will get a truer download speed.
Remember to stop and delete the files.
i.e : 250kBps X 8 = 2MB, 500kBps X 8 = 4MB, 1250kBps X 8 = 10MB, 2500kBps X 8 = 20MB
