Yes, and the rest ...

Just now got 202.5Mb on a single thread at Testmy.net. The other day I got 207Mb on the single thread.

That one has just given me a peak of 729.44 Mbps !

Testmy.net? I'm looking for your result on the shared results graph. I can't see it.

Try this one ... with a 645Mbps peak: http://testmy.net/db/XtuUQJ0a2&framed=1&framed2=1

Tell me: When I download files from TBB, in order to test my speed, I clock up >200Mb only by downloading 2files at once. Each file downloads at just over 12MB a second. Is this because TBB servers only dish out at about 12MB or is this because I am using 2 threads, thus getting around local congestion?

Congestion by virginmedia yep. Yes you are getting around it. The server can easily put out those speeds.

Virginmedia offer these headline speeds, higher than other ISPs but due to the nature of the network, it only takes less than a handful of users on your local node and congestion hits, often a lot worse than you experienced. We are talking just 4 users torrenting could have a major impact. I used to drop down to 10Mbps on a 200Mbps package, which believe me is not that uncommon, just most users do not run speedtests ever & if netflix streams & asos loads pictures they are happy.

FTTC providers are generally far less prone to congestion... It's why I avoid VM.

So, you have access to a Gigabit connection?

No, I have an 80Mbps FTTC which runs at around 75 ish!

Just shows how inaccurate some testers can be,

So you see your test result here:

A line without congestion, you would see the green and yellow lines almost mirror one another.
Yours do not, you have the green line less than half the yellow line.

And, for roughbeast, this is what a non-congested result should look like:
