Guess I just got lucky earlier with the link out of Virgin's network.

Link out of, or the link inside VM network to the edge

I'm not sure it's just VM's route to TBB, I think there's possibly something going on elsewhere as well.
That said I did just manage 639Mbit/s down 685Mbit/s up testing from a VM I have running in a datacentre, quite possible the issue is someone in-between running hot

I saw 400ish from a client system in a well connected data centre, so that's even better. We also have Hyperoptic reports that MrSaffron has shared in the past.
I suspect a lot of interconnects in the UK are quite heavily stressed now we have 300mbps regular services in use from Openreach and VM.

No signs of congestion from the Virgin Linx node through to us, so my money is on internal parts of the virgin core as they aggregate traffic from around the UK to exit onto the linx node.
What is interesting is that the areas with the worst quality scores follow the pattern for a long time pointing to some areas have more issues than others.
The Ofcom report gives great median figures for Virgin, but you have to question those when their 100 Mbps service is streaming UHD worse than an up to 38 Mbps VDSL2 service.

I'd expect there's still a fair few 1G/10G ports out there.

Yes!

I have friends with 200mbps VM, and yes you can download quickly, and you can run a family full of HD YouTube or 4K streaming. However interactive web access is slower than 3G cellular at refreshing pages, which is quite bizarre. A 30mbps VDSL connection from another ISP is more responsive.
Subjective and only one area, but the quality number shows similar issue.

burst speed has an affect on web browsing but only at a certian point e.g. say 2mbps.
Then latency becomes king for web browsing performance, VM has jittery RTT, in some areas its not that bad, in others its severe. Jittery RTT will affect downloads but can be countered by TCP auto tuning so be masked effectively,y whilst on web browsing the affect will be way more noticeable. Like a DNS packet delayed at the DOCSIS awaiting that slot could hold up an entire web page loading.

I have the same issue. 350/20 can top out at 400/25 and on 380/21 on Speedtest and DSL Reports respectively.
