    Can UPC fix this? Has anyone had similar issues with UPC. Internet browsing can sometimes be a real pain.

    Yet the speedtest results all the time come back close to 15Mb

    ping test simulates a ping, its not a true ping and it triggers the ip flood protection on the cisco router. Disable it or do a real ping from the command line.
