I bought a 2 way cable splitter, and moved the superhub into the living room, next to the TiVo, splitting the signal using said splitter.
As I say, I pay for 150mb bb. I now get typical speeds of 50mb. Now, is this below-advertised speed down to having moved the superhub into the living room? Could Virgin fix this by boosting the signal and/or new superhub? Is moving the superhub actually 'allowed'? Anything I can do myself to improve speed?
Thank you!

Just to get this straight, you have always had both Superhub and Tivo?
In this case you must also have had an existing splitter (may be external to your property).
What you should have done is move that existing splitter to your living room. Even then, if the cable lengths are different you may still have issues.
Adding the second splitter has reduced your signal levels most likely causing your issues.
Given your changes have broken an existing working setup I doubt VM would take kindly to fixing your mess.
I suggest you locate the original splitter and remove it.
