All this time I was blaming VM and it was my VPN

I turned off my VPN and I now have

PING: 7 ms (13 for my laptop)
Download: 20.10 Mbps (22.00 for my laptop)
Upload: 6.08 Mbps (around 5 for my laptop)

Although without the VPN and with everyone online speeds are similar to that used with the VPN. In fact I turned the VPN off because the Wifi and the data both would not connect.

Hmm, so decent speed after all! VPNs and proxies do slow down your connection, so unless you need it for anything (like James_W dupes) then your best bet is to just use the actual Wi-Fi connection.

Glad to hear things are a little better!

A few days ago i changed the DNS from that which i've had with my isp's ( BT broadband ADSL) to Googles public DNS servers and noticed faster web browsing and no time outs

Of course i realise this may not be possible with mobile devices but if Kyx uses a laptop with a hard wired connection, give it a try.
