Is it possible to connect your PC directly to your modem and try the speed tests again? This should eliminate your wireless connection being the source of your problems.
Thanks for the help/advice guys! Currently, the computer plugged directly into the modem downstairs is buggered since a few days back, so I can't test anything more. I know for a fact that PC gave me the same speeds mind you, I ran all the first speed tests I posted on here via that computer, and got on average 2MB Speed.

Despite it saying I'm on 10MB there, the forum speed checker still says:
'Overall Average Speed = approx 2284 Kbps, 2.23 Mbps'

I'm 100% sure it's not the Wireless Network causing this, as the speed is the same downstairs. It must be as Virgin said, and there's just a 10MB fault in my area. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon...
