Traffic Managed and Not Over Limits

Please help am tearing my hair out. Have been having really slow download speeds over last month. Called technical support and they said there was no issues and there was a high utilization in my area. So I phoned up to disconect my service and leave as I am fed up with my speeds of between half a meg and 1.5 meg. I have found out that my low speeds where due to traffic managment after a conversation with customer support. I don't use my connection excessively and am always well within the traffic managment limits. The figures customer support where quoting where just wayout and crazy. He said one day I had downloaded 8Gig and I know for a fact that is just crazy. Well after my conversation and complaining my speed is now mysteriously gone back up to 10 Meg. I am really worried someone may have hacked my wireless connection. I do have strong encyption. Or maybe someone as cloned my modem. I could not understand why connection only runs at full speed at 2am in the morning. I am concerned that Virgins records of my usesage are nothing near my actual use. What can I do ? Spent a hour on the phone today and don't apreciate been called a excessive user and practically a liar when I said I am not anyhwere near a excessive user. I only use my connection for the odd stream. Most of the time I am just doing general web non intense browsing. Have no spyware or viruses or programs runing in the background.
