hmm, If I were not getting my allocated bandwidth I would take a look into my modem and see if the modem I had been supplied supported the package I was buying.
It's well documented that certain old modems supplied by SA and Motorola will not perform at anywhere near the claimed speeds of certain american cable companies. Read some of the Cox cable forums.
You can buy cable modems off the shelf over there for this very reason. I'm not sure what VM give their customers but I bet they are not all the same, and I bet there are still quite a lot of old "legacy" modems still in peoples houses from the days when 512kb was classed as fast!
