Mine genuinely would work at 20Mb for much of the day especially 9am to
11am. However in the evening 4.00pm to 12pm it slowed down.

So I'm pretty certain this slowdown was due to congestion on VM's network.

I did ask VM support about it but didn't get any kind of a rational
response.

It is a shame really because even at £37.00 it wouldn't have been more
expensive than my BT line rental + ISP cost. The upstream speed was much
better than adsl.

If VM were willing to introduce some kind of QoS guarantee or introduced
sensible download limits so they could achieve a good QoS I would
consider trying them again.
