Got virgin in a couple of weeks ago not on the 60mb fibre optic, and when I do the speedtest on speedtest.net it flies up to 50/60 mb for the majority of the test but then when it finishes and moves onto the upload says i'm getting 12mb
How come it says am getting 50/60mb one minute but gives me a score of 12mb overall

Im not sure why this is, could be the way the data is measured.
The same applies to network traffic between PCs and servers; when copying a file to a remote location, if you monitor the speed in windows, it generally starts off a lot higher before settling down to an average speed.

Is this not just the difference between download and upload speeds?

It's download and upload speeds.
Upload is always slower with any Internet provider. Usually a 10:1 ratio, should be with Virgin as well, looks like 5:1 so I wouldn't grumble!

it's not 12mb Upload though thats the download speed when it should be up near 60mb
As I said above I start the speedtest and the dial spins round to 55/60 mb but then tails off stay at about 30mb and when it moves from Download to upload says 12mb
