It's been awful for me, but there's so many factors since I'm networked with 3 other computers. But I just checked there's no downloading etc, I ran Adaware/Spybot on all PCs. Is there anything else I can do? Or is it VM's problem? Would be interesting to see some similar screenshots of other Virgin Media users.

It's not god-awful but it still affects me a lot on Counter Strike, the loss/spikey latency makes the recoil so random.
 
Was talking to a friend and I'm getting closer to figuring out the problem.

Right now the setup is Cable Modem (Motorolla SB5100) -> PC (Acting as a router) -> Hub -> Other computers, and the cable modem is connected to the PC via a 1.0 USB port, which I've found out is limited to 5mb. ( http://www.virginmedia.com/help/ethernet/index.php )

He said I should buy a real router and it will fix all the problems. So the question is, which one do I buy that will be good and compatible?
 
Update:

Bought a Linksys WRT54GS router. Just set it up. And the latency seems to just be as bad, pic:

Don't know what else to do but phone them up and complain about noise on the line or something, what are my other options to try and resolve this?

Perhaps theres a few settings in the router that I need to configure?
