VM have been fleecing me since the day of the upgrade as my speeds are always so slow this is what my speed is at present which is only a guide.

Test 1: 1024K took 13969 ms = 73.3 KB/sec, approx 604 Kbps, 0.59 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 7390 ms = 138.6 KB/sec, approx 1142 Kbps, 1.12 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 15938 ms = 64.2 KB/sec, approx 529 Kbps, 0.52 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 32125 ms = 63.8 KB/sec, approx 526 Kbps, 0.51 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 700 Kbps, 0.69 Mbps

Needless to say it is the same with the modem connected direct and when I approached the members on the newsgroup they were very quick to blame my kit and not theirs. I can not wait for my 12 months to finish so that I can downgrade to get similar speeds as above and pay less.
