Problem is I have a BT VDSL circuit on WAN1



That's unfortunate, it may be useful to test that briefly though, so that you can determine whether Hardware Acceleration will allow the router to make full use of the line, or if using a newer/faster router like the Vigor 2862 series, or Vigor 2960/3900 might help.

Perhaps look at the other WAN settings in addition, set the MTU of the WAN2 interface to 1500 bytes, which should be what the Virgin Media connection is using.



Yeah I did try that to no avail however I'll have a look at the MTU setting and post my results.
