BT speedtest - actual throughput

Noticed while trying to upload some photos to Photobox, that my upload speed was incredibly slow.
Speed tests on MyBroadbandSpeed, Speedtest.net & thinkbroadband all came out around the same; approx 2.8Meg down, 300 up. Upload was a bit lower than normal, but I wasn't overly worried.
Plusnet Profile was still showing at 3000.
Done a BT speedtest and although it showed my profile at 3000, my actual throughput was down at 200. A test a few hours later showed the throughput at 1000.
Can the lower throughput be put down to contention?  Undecided
Can't get to Plusnet website at the moment. Are there other issues I don't know about?
