You clearly are getting a good speed from Virgin, the problem is obviously what your trying to do with it.

I believe Virgin restrict speeds of certain types of traffic, one of which I presume is torrent's, this could be the cause of your slow downloads.

Personally I don't torrent, never have done and as such can't comment too much but I'm pretty sure they're are many factors which could cause slow downloads, but if your getting a result like that from speedtest, at least it rules out a fault with your line.

Hopefully the more knowledgeable will step in to offer further advice.
