Actually, the speed issue is not consistent. Today, I started vm with the same network configuration I had before that seemed to work, and the speed was once again slow initially (30's) , but after waiting a few minutes, it was back up to an acceptable level (126) . So I was thinking maybe I just needed to wait a little before testing the speed in the VM. But a little later the speed was down again. I rebooted the modem. Same results(17 up) then up to 389 and 169 and then 17 and then 400+. So weird, seems to be just going up and down. The image was built from scratch. I am trying 6 processors now with increasing the memory to 16384. Will let you know how that works as far as the blue screen. The only thing running when testing the speed in my VM is the Chrome browser using this speedtest https://www.spectrum.com/internet/speed-test . host is consistent at 450+
