Do a speed test when everyone else is out and see if you're actually getting anywhere near 50mb

That's not too bad.
Broadband "megabits" are a massive con. Nobody ever gets what they're paying for.

I'm on the 20mb package.
Just got 11.5 on speedtest.net
That's sufficient for my needs.
I do find that about once a week the connection drops, usually about 9am. I can connect to the wireless, but the router can't connect to the internet. It usually comes back on mid-afternoon. I think it might be the netgear router that's the problem though.

It's between 3 of us, so it aint THAT bad.
And it was only like a couple of quid more a month for it than the 20mb one.
It's done now, not a lot else we can do about it apart from be very british and moan and not do anything

What annoys me about Virgin is they change your 'no page found' thing. Look:
