If you're on XP then you just do the tracrt or whatever CMD you want with the redirection to a text file as shown.
If your general experience is OK, then IMHO you're fretting over nothing. The web and VM's connectivity to it are subject to random effects beyond your control. The instant speedtest tells you nothing about what happems to your experience.
If you're concerned about not getting what you're paying for (understandable), then there is only one set of repeated and logged tests you can do:
1 Note the date and time.
2 Download a file > ΒΌ MB from a high bandwidth site
3 Clock time the download and note the Windows statistic
4 Repeat the test many times of your choice
5 Repeat the test download
s at different time of day
Post the results if you want to but contact VM if, during what is supposed to be a quiet period, you are nowhere near your expected rate.
Hope that helps and clarifies matters for you. Let's cut through all this detail we've been getting into and see if you really do have a problem. On the face of it, you don't.
EDIT:
Speedtest.net is crap (Maidenhead is notoriously poor). So many people say this on the forum and so many people still raise issues based on its dodgy readings. Even if it wasn't crap, the method of relying on an instant speed test is flawed for reasons I and others have already explained.
