www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk also gives the same results so either my 50mb has a fault or speedtest sites are way off

I think you may have a problem. Although Virgin don't recommend some of these speed test sites I think they give a fair indication of problems.

Mine from www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk



and from speedtest.net



And with reference to to OP. What to expect?

Well most of the time blistering speeds but sudden unexplained speed drops that can last a few minutes or a few hours.

OK we may get STM at some point - but for now I'm basking in the sun
