That's a possibility but almost a certainty is that the problem lies with the BUDGET routing solutions that have been employed for what seems like forever by this sinking ship organisation.
For instance, yesterday my outward connection to a certain destination was mainly provided via the exceedly DIRE Level3. Several routers appeared to be saturated and dropping packets. My inward connection was mainly via the equally dire Sprintlink who seemed to be in even worst shape than Level3. 30 connections could only get around 10meg at about midday.

Its just another way for VM to save money and limit bandwidth to the detriment of their subscribers surfing experience.
