I'm not saying VM is bad for all people, just a lot of people.

At this time of the evening I think my best ever from thinkbroadband was
about 8 Mb/s. Average would be about 3 Mb/s.

I always assumed that type of behaviour was caused by the router rather
than the ISP.

I'm sure it is my router that can't keep up. I've never actually bothered to
try without it though. Most people call me on my mobile rather than the VOIP
line which is mainly used for outgoing calls so I can just stop or throttle
the torrents before i make the call...

I'm on the 4Mbit service and it's always around 4Mbit other than 3 times I
was STM'd and all three times I intended to get STM'd for evaluation
purposes. The third time was tonight, to check VoIP out on a STM'd line
again. There were no dropped packets on the calls when STM'd. The calls
were fine too.
