And does anyone actually get 50mb speeds with any degree of regularity?

Reason I'm asking is it's been installed here for a good month or so now, infact maybe even 2 months I can't remember exactly, but I very rarely get 50mb speeds.

Now I would therefore expect Virgin to say to me "it depends on the distance blah blah", but that's not really true with fibre optic is it? (genuine Q I'm not sure)
BUT having said that, the most I've seen it do is 8mb/sec, yes 8 on an actual d/l, which is awesome, so I know it CAN do it, it just very rarely does.

Also when I look at the virgin status page it's always red lighted on the broadband, so I'm just looking to see if other users get the advertised speed? and if it's free from throttling? which they advertise it as being.
