20 Meg, what 20Meg?

Well, i have been with NTL since they started and have gone from dial up in the early days to 20Meg as it stands now. However, when i use all the speed test utils and websites i only seem to get around 7Meg.

Ok, so its now run by the bearded wonder, Branson, and failrplay to them, they upgraded my modem to the little diddy 255 model. But why oh why am i paying ffor 20 when i only get 7. Surely its not a conspiracy from Mr Gates as i run Vista? is the service throttled? Is it Vista? Is it too much porn that i download, or is it the mother in law? (no connection to Porn here)

Anyone with any suggestions? i live in the B77 Postcode.

for reference:
Downstream Receive Power Level : 6.8 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 36.3 dB
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
