That was my reasoning when my area went bad. Unfortunately what I hadn't realised was that my modem - VMNG300 - will only do DOCSIS 3 so I'm still on the same congested pipes. Not sure if the Superhub which the OP must have would do DOCSIS 1 but I suspect not. At least I'm only paying for 10Mbps now though and most of the time I get it.

The OP's monitor looks similar to mine right now and VM have recognised a problem and opened a fault. Be interesting to see what it looks like in the evening.
