Slow speed after political debate last night....

[#1]

.... which may be coincidence. Since joining in December 2014 I have had no speed problems at all, normally seeing over 8 mbps on a regular basis.
Last night things started to crawl so tried the BTW speedtest which showed 1.79 UL, shortly after speed appeared to slow even further and the BTW site wouldn't load at all, later it would load but on selecting test it would return :-

"System is busy, try again later"
BTW site is still returning this message when I try to test this morning although speed seems OK for the internet and we watched a Netflix TV episode last night which was fine.
Did the line noise test which showed a clean line but didn't have a filter readily to hand to try the test socket  out.
Any ideas why?

I'm not aware of any problems, but I'll keep an eye on any reports. The BTw test seems to be working ok now from here.

Thanks Tony.
Opened a chat link with PN support this morning, suggestion that it was browser cache seemed true as I stopped Firefox, opened IE and BTW workked. Logged back in 1/2 hour ago and speed showed 0mbps on BTW but 0.89 on different. bb speed check site. Closed laptop and restarted. BTW showing 0 dl speed, broadbandspeedcheckker showing 8.36 dl, 0.7 ul. I'm tending to believe BBSC rather than BTW as internet APPEARS to be OK, tried a youtube vid which didn't lag or buffer. Here are my current  TN router stats. As I say, seems to be working OK. I'm running a dell laptop with 8gb ram, intel core i7 processor and loads of spare disc space so it "shouldn't" be my system
