according to a reply I got back from VM's noc email address, ncuk (tbb) are using a backup link thats depreferenced.

When I posted on tbb's forums they blamed VM initially but then someone on another isp joined in with the same issue and they routed speedtests over a new server, this then fixed VM results, however this was only temp so they may have switched back. Since TBB is a pro adsl site I suspected possible foul play however it could well be due to congested VM transit who knows. There is a way to force speedtests to different TBB servers, tommorow if I have time I will post links.
