Most services are a bit of a lottery in terms of what your area is like. Generally, though, BT (And Sky and most other DSL providers) are a much safer bet than Virgin are, the catch is that distance is a factor. Virgin seem to have improved a lot lately, but there's still plenty of congested areas in which you seem to be part of one. And since BT have given you a really good estimate, I think you'd be mad not to try them out.

Given that your area has been congested for ages, I wouldn't give Virgin the time of day and switch over to BT. Or possibly even Sky Fibre, if it's available? I don't know if that would work out much cheaper for you but the quality of the service should be comparable to BT.
