My friend was having the same problem yesterday evening, i logged into my youtube channel at his house, tried to play a video in fullscreen which switched it to 720p and it played about 5 seconds before buffering about 10 seconds, this continued until we dropped it to 480p, and even then it still buffered occasionally. To rule out any wireless problems he moved the router and connected via cable, speedtest was about 18mb.

I don't use virgin media any more so i can't do another test here, but he tells me it's been the same for months and most other streaming video sites run fine for him.
