Regardless of this, can someone explain to how the phenomenon shown in the graph below can occur?
The period where the packet loss was below 5% was when I was torrenting something, so I decided to close uTorrent to check my connection and my packet loss shot back up.
How can this happen? I'd expect to get more packet loss if I was using more of my upstream bandwidth. Can anyone shed some light?

Dead easy. That may not be your connection as the thinkbroadband ping meter cannot handle dynamic IP addresses which VM use (along with other ISP's)
I can show you one of mine which is totally red-100% packet loss but as my IP addy had changed it is not my cnnection most likely still in the pool to be allocated hence no traffic, no ping reply.
Not mine any more!
Neither's this one.
I've stopped using it because of this. The 2 graphs above are nothing to do with my connection whatsoever but I can still access them with my user/pass as if they were.
