This was repaired in jig time with the download speed never increasing but the dropping out stopping almost entirely.

I contacted VM and a very nice lady downgraded the service to 10mb and I saved a few baw bees.
Trouble is that the download speed is under 1mb and I have only had one drop out in 5 days.
I am using a router and am realistic about not achieving top speeds but where do I go now?

Is your slow connection happening at all times dureing the day? or just at peak hours (say from 5pm until 10).

Also check for packet loss using this test:
