Which could be considered an adequate reason for legal action. Clearly if VM can not offer full speed in an area at least some of the time, then they should not (legally) be advertising that speed.
In answer to the OP, try
http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co....n_my_area.aspx . You enter your postcode and it gives you the speeds of people around you, compared with the packages they have..
