The simple reason you're losing around 180Mb is because your computer has a gigabit ethernet connection and the Virgin Media Hub im assuming you have the Hub 4 has gigabit ports. The maximum speed for gigabit ethernet is around 940Mb. The connection coming into your hub is over a gigabit. Unless you get the new hub 5 which has one 2.5Gb port and your computer has 2.5Gb ethernet you'll never see the full 1116Mb speed on one device.
