Please can somebody help and tell me if it is VM's problem

You are on a Black Virgin branded Ambit 256 and those power levels are well within the normal operational parameters for your connection.

The issue may be elsewhere but lets look at your PC first, are you using XP, Vista or are you on a MAC, are you using a router and does it make any difference with a direct connection if you are.

This site has various tweaks you could try on your computer.http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=157
