I hope you find a better provider when your contract is finished.I suspect you will find plenty of advice from others on this site as to what that provider may be.
Frustrated comments by people with more than inferior VM broadband are inevitable when they read result's like this Maggy, as it just rubs their noses in it. However what I would like to see from the VM results is just how many areas during the testing periods suffered from over subbing/utilisation, as I suspect they probably didn't. which in real terms may paint a considerably different picture.

I tried putting my name down for being a tester a few times when I was on VM's 50Mbps BB but due to my area being at the time very hit and miss, I didn't get a look in.

It kind of left me thinking that ISP's (not just VM) cherry pick the decent areas to paint them in a much better light than they actually are, rendering results like this as useless IMO.
