At peak time you can't expect 20 Mbps or close to. As I said, the VM web site makes it pretty clear - without giving a number. It only takes a couple of others on your tunk to be downloading and you're congested.
Anyway, perhaps the wisdom of this forum can help point you in the right direction. Quite often we can validly suggest a cause for an unstable service based on the data you provide as listed below.
1/
Your modem stats (to include Downstream, Upstream, Operational Config & event log). This is achieved by entering
http://192.168.100.1 in your browser and hitting the Login link, supplying credentials "root" and "root". You then click on each of the menu items I've listed and copy the results into your next post (e.g. by cutting & pasting into Notepad.exe and then copying the lot into the post).
2/
Just before modem stats, please do PATHPING
www.bbc.co.uk. Pathping takes a few minutes to run and tells us where congestion might be occurring. If you type
pathping www.bbc.co.uk > c:\fred.txt at the windows command prompt, then you can use
notepad to extract and paste all the information in c:\fred.txt or another location of your choice.
Cheers
