I would say that they were not unreasonable.

Re: Speed Test
I upgraded from 4Mb to 10Mb and have found that I can now only get 3-4'ish Mb on the PC but between 8-10Mb on my Apple Mac? If Virgin advertise a 10Mb service how fast should we expect [and pay for] and why the difference between my PC & Mac?

I had a similar problem, except the differences were between two PCs rather than a Mac and a PC. My problem seemed to stem from using a wireless router, apparently the network card in my older machine wasn't quite up to the job, and when I connected it directly to the modem via ethernet it connected at 8-10 meg just like the newer machine.

Tonight (just now) I download an MP3 file and bearly got 1.3Mb!! To be honest paying £35 per month for 10Mb and getting a 1/10th of that speed when I use it the most is not worth the money so I'll be downgrading back to 4Mb tomorrow. I can't see how they [VM] can charge that much for a service they cannot guarantee. I know they say " up to" but surely there has to be a lower limit to make it fair on the customer. It's almost a license to print money!
