Once the routing goes outside of the Virginmedia network the is no way to ensure that every traceroute or speedtest follows the exact same path as it will always choose the shortest and fastest route so if the is heavy traffic elsewhere it will automatically reroute, so as you cannot control the exact route it one takes how can you be sure of any accuracy due to these inconsistencies.
