Are Vodafone capping download speed?

I am a gamer, and it seems that when I go to download from either EPIC, GOG, or Steam, my download speed is limited to around 1.7mbps, but if I was to open up a torrent and use a VPN i'd get close to my full speed of 7-8mb. With a VPN off, torrent rarely even connects or if it does, I get below 1mbps. If this is how Vodafone operate, then I'm going to opt for early cancellation, because its far from the advertised "66mb average" I signed up to. Thoughts?

@Chaotic_Awesome Not capped. If you are using the VF DNS addresses try charging to 8.8.4.4 (Google) and 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).

Could you run a trace to www.bbx.com and paste the result but remember to hide your public IP.

Are you on FTTC or FTTP?
