Now the service struggles to get to about 12mb at any time (i even tried it at 4am one day, producing about 13-14Mb). Typically evenings produce anything from 3Mb-12Mb probably averaging about 8Mb.
Is this 'normal' for the 20Mb service. What are others getting (I'm in Colchester btw).
PS Tried various PC's and all directly connected by cable to VM modem. Tried rebooting modem and so on.
I do hope I dont have to call support, I have that sinking feeling if so.....
Ta an info you can provide!

Depends on what your using to test your speed. I find downloading a file from the likes of divx.com gives a fair reflection of your speed.
I'm on the 20 meg service and I always get my 20 meg and stay within the FUP. You will find speeds on File sharing programs and their protcols are some-what traffic managed these days.. I find I can download a torrent from my server on a torrent site, the speed I receive from my server is crap however ftp I get the full 20 meg speed.
It would do no harm getting your modem etc checked out to ensure everything is ticking over.
