Given they are combining figures from Virgin's 10, 20 and 50Mbit services and Virgin's new advertising witters on about how people should receive what they pay for to only achieve on average 7.5Mbit, given there are no distance issues on cable, is shocking.

Very true - O2 supply a best estimate on their service and offer a free downgrade to the 8Mbit service tier if a customer's phone line isn't good enough to achieve higher, VM however do not give an estimate, they claim that you will be able to achieve 10, 20 and 50Mbit if that's what you pay for.
That they lose out to O2 on upstream speeds is just amusing
