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.
this has been happening for weeks, modem reboots, and when u mention this to them it suddenly returns. To much of a coincidence.
