No contract , pay monthly and its only £9.99 . From what I can gather from talking to various BT engineers its the distance from the exchange thats the cause of the slow speed .

Check your router stats page, from when you log into the router it should be there along with your sync speeds and noise margin.
Post them up and i'll have a look.

Put your phone number in the 'see how fast you can go' box on the BT Broadband site and it should give you an indication of what to expect on your line

I would treat ANY speed test as a guide and most with irrelevance.

This is the slow time of day for me but it's fast enough for my needs. On a good day I hit 6Mb.

Two of the best ways to check your speeds are the links below.... http://speedtester.bt.com/ - BT's own seedtester, also tells you your IP profile which can be helpful for diagnosing slow speeds. and http://www.btopenworld.com/speedtest - Good for testing 'real world' download speeds. You get a choice of three test files of different sizes.
