Re: Small connection issue
The adsl in this address shows that you are not on CABLE (which was always very doubtful due to your remoteness) but your broadband is the normal down-the-bt-line broadband, supplied by Virgin Media.

Try putting your postcode or telephone number into the following webpage and see what speed BT say you should get.

Given your remoteness, it would not surprise me that what you have been told by Virgin Media and seen in your own speedtest results is true - a broadband download speed of 0.5Mb.

Your issue with the applications you mention may then be down to increased contention on your very remote line because some of your very few neighbours now have broadband whereas before they didn't.
