The VM guy has no idea what he's talking about, all of those levels of yours are just fine.

There is no guarantee of getting maximum speeds all the time and certainly not from that festering pit of child porn and warez that is Rapidshare.

Bad signals will affect you all the time and not stop affecting you during periods of low load on the network.

You could use an attenuator if you really want to, would probably not drop the SNR as it would attenuate both signal and noise equally, but it would be a pointless exercise.

The differences between platform are due to legacy analogue signals. Given a lot of areas have had analogue switched off one size fitting all is an appropriate assumption now.

As advised try testing your speed using something more reliable than Rapidwarez and if the timing differences you mention still apply it's network congestion, and as a reminder you are paying for an 'up to' service with no guarantee of 24x7 performance.
