Scotty, What speed are you on with Virgin Media? I think something is not right. The lowest sevice they do now is 10megabit. So you should be getting close to 10mbps download and 1mbps upload. I'm on Virgin Media's old 20mb service and I'll show you my speeds from your links.

So even if you are only on the 10mb service you should be getting half of my speeds. You are not even getting a quarter speed.
How old is your Modem? If its an old silver NTL one, It might not be able to manage the speed you should be getting.
