I'm on the 20mb service and Virgin have admitted this oversubscription issue in NW3 to me too.

Prior to Jan i was regularly getting speeds of over 10mbps but now I'm lucky to get 2 or 3mbps even at very off peak times..

At peak times this is making the internet pretty much unusable...

If you're in London NW3 and thinking of signing up to Virgin i would seriously think again until this issue is resolved. Virgin have not been able to reassure me that this will be fixed in the near future.

It's crazy how I can be in the middle of London with a fiber optic cable coming in my wall and still not able to get a decent internet connection!!
