That's actually not a valid comparison, though. Wireless is such a wildcard that it's nearly impossible to make any conclusions from that test. There's a lot you can do to tweak and configure your wireless in order to improve speeds, however what people are getting at is that it's pointless to do so until you're sure that wireless is a problem.

Plug an ethernet cable into your shub and temporarily disable wireless (push the button on the front of the hub if you need), then do a speed test. If you get full speed, wireless is the problem and we can do something about that. If you're still seeing your slow speeds, you've got something to tell Virgin who can take a more thorough look.

There's no point in suffering with a shoddy service. Spending 20mins doing proper diagnostics can likely resolve your issue and give you full speed.

FTTC Infinity delivers at most 19Mb of usable upload in my experience. The Virgin product will deliver slightly over 20.
Yeah but for how long before it gets STM'd? :P
