Same set up for years and nothing changed here that I can think of that should be causing this.
BT wholesale test, further diagnostics:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 0.3 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
Broadband Speed Checker:
Ping Download Upload
1021 ms 0.28 Mb/s 0.82 Mb/s
I was going to raise a ticket but am unwilling to tick a box saying, essentially: "I might have to pay for an engineer to look at this".
Line Rate 8128 Kbps 1120 Kbps
Noise Margin 6.6 dB 7.0 dB
Line Attenuation 16.0 dB 11.0 dB
Output Power 19.8 dBm 12.9 dBm

Just did a broadband test, on an iPad, using wi-fi to same router, and it gave 6.97 Mbps.
So, am I right in thinking that:
Either the speed has improved (for unknown reasons) or it is something wrong with Ethernet cabling between router and the PC.
Thanks for your interest and help.

You could try disconnecting and connecting again once.
Also could you post the results from http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html please

I am now on the PC again, using wired connections and just got:
Edit: have done a few more tests over last 10 minutes, on iPad & (wired) PC.
Both fluctuating quite a bit, but iPad better each time.
Sometimes a lot, sometimes just a bit.
Problem in Ethernet cabling?

Best wishes for the New Year!
