maybe you guys are getting cloned, mines perfect, not quiet 20MB but 14MB is still pretty fast.

well it must be widespread and happening regular because this is like a daily occurence now once or twice a day for an hour or 2 at a time whereas shaping lasts 4 hours and sometimes im not even in shaped hours when it goes balls up.

Blah only half of what I should be getting.

I wonder if I downgrade to 10mb would it still stay the same? And would I save some money?

I think you would just get max of 10MB if you did that. The problems won't scale

4th 128K took 441 ms = 297215 Bytes/sec = approx 2473 kbits/sec

The usual pants speeds that we've been getting all along on our 20480kbps connection...

We've been visited and had our cable modem poked. I asked them not to as it's never going to solve a thing, but they insisted. The technician agreed and said he'd pass on that it must be a local congestion problem. Nothing's happened.

I repeated that process over a year........ten days till BT come to install line so I can get bethere....Wooo Hoo!!
MY VM line/UBR is seriously flaky, going from sustained periods of well under a meg to ,occasionally, 16 or so. After a year, engineers finally said a repull was needed, but hey, too late, I'd already cancelled and am going elsewhere, also taking my phone and TV services with me and away from VM.
All I feel now is satisfaction i finally took the plunge and banished VM from my household.

Which is precisely why I am continuing with the cancellation.:)

Being a bit crap on the tech side, could someone tell me how to run the above test on Vista, and what IP you test it on.Cheers;)It's nothing to do with the OS or the cable modem - it's just a website - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/speedtest.html :)
