OK - now we've established Knowsley (further from Hemel than Reading), I beg to disagree in a specific manner with you.

The OP's specific
tracert spends quite some time in the VM network. If those routes are oversubscribed or in any other way under contention, then slow download speeds would occur.
Of course a
tracert to the BBC tells us nothing of the OP's problem cases. So in that respect you are correct.
