Got sorted back in May.... now speeds worse than ever?

In May, with the help of posters here I managed to improve my speed to around 5-6 mbps from a lowly 3.
The previous thread is http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,86183.0.html.
Today I did a speedtest at Speedtest.net and got this

I took my router stats which are as below

Any idea what's happening?

I've had a quick look in the exchange and on all of our systems and I can't see anything obvious that's causing the problem. Please report this the the Faults Team who can perform more in depth testing for you.

As your router has been up for 80+ days a reboot is worth a try - however I'd leave it until tomorrow between 10am and 3pm as that's the best time to do it.

I reported the fault, went through the questions......
This is what I have tonight.

I just tried my wife's laptop and it's getting 5.8 MBPS. What might be slowing my PC down?

i find it a good idea to disable and enable the wifi dongle or wifi card every now and then Wink
