No - are you using some kind of geolocation to guess that? It's wrong, it was registered via Telewest Woking,
long since closed I believe, and is hosted at Knowsley data centre.
7 17 ms 14 ms 16 ms know-dcore-1b-tenge100.network.virginmedia.net [212.43.162.54]

It's the first hop of tools.virginmedia.com when tracing to the beeb. know = Knowsley, dcore = data centre core.
Regardless of this hops don't indicate a bottleneck, I can get
>45Mbps to Canada which goes via a somewhat longer route than a couple of hops in the UK.
EDIT: Telewest don't have network in Reading on the public network, this would be ex-ntl who both had the cable franchise and headend there and have core routers and various other kit in addition to the CMTSes hosted at the Reading headend running out of an IBM owned data centre near Reading, Winnersh Triangle to be exact.
