I had the same problem with JaguarPC.  They could not saturate my  
cable modem and blamed the problem on me.  I tried a another host and  
found that the bandwidth was there, but the features were not.  I  
ended up going back to JaguarPC and got a semi dedicated line for  
$30.00/month and now have the features and speed I need.  I think  
that a lot of these sub $10/month plans have hundreds of accounts on  
the same server and are not able to handle the growing demands.
