Ok try this.

Open "Command Prompt"
type in "ping bbc.co.uk" without the quotes.
after thats finished do a tracert "tracert bbc.co.uk" without the quotes and post that.

Speed test generally show a http ping test which isn't the same as gaming ping.

As long as the route is the same then a ping on any port should give the same results..

Probably hardware issues somewhere.. If it's not back to normal in a couple of days try VM's newsgroups and post a question on there
