This problem only happens during peak hours, my speed is somewhat perfect outside of around 14:00-02:00

Area - Clydebank G81 2SF
Provider - Virgin Media
Modem - Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection
Speed - 10 MB

Downstream Receive Power Level : -1.1 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 40.5 dB
Upstream transmit Power Level : 45.0 dBmV
From what you say it sounds as if the uBR you are connected to is suffering from high traffic at peak times.

Your power levels are fine and the SNR is right in middle of its range, so that is not the issue.

Probably best to call Tech Support tomorrow and see if the is a local issue.
