Funny that isnt it. I stand by what i said in a post previously on here Virgin Media are intentionally limiting connections when they shouldnt be.
I wouldn't go to the ISPA with that theory, there's no proof there at all and I can assure you it's not the case.

Just as a thought, there are probably 'a few' 20Mbit customers sharing your downstream with you, along with all the 10 and 2Mbit customers. In my case there are a total of 400 customers sharing the 38Mbit with me. Doesn't take many people using it at once to slice 10Mbit off.

I think you just saw a loading spike which took you to 9.7, someone was having a damn fine leech session. All it would take is one 10 or 20M customer to stop what they were doing and you get the 9.5Mbit back.
