60k throttling on BitTorrent but why?

For the last few days I have been unable to obtain a download speed higher than 60k for BitTorrent (non standard ports) regardless of time of the day.
I am usually able to max out my connection approx 60k for every 512k
My BRAS profile is currently 2500kbps, (a bit slower than normal but I think its only a blip) speed tests back this up with approx 2300kbps download speed using mybroadbandspeed.co.uk and router stats remain relatively unchanged.
I am well within my usage limit and have rebooted my router numerous times with no change.
My current option: Force9 Broadband Your Way Option 4.
I can only surmise that the throttling I am experiencing is down to Plusnet network activity.
The only recent change I can think of was a regrade to double up upload speed.
Has anyone else noticed any issues, I'm lost for ideas...
DM.

Quote from: jelv Have you restricted the BitTorrent upload speed?
LOL an obvious oversight but no. Same prob with uTorrent and BitComet.

I can't help feeling a bit short changed with current lack of capacity and excessive throttling especially when I paying top dollar...
Are we sure traffic management is working correctly?

Quote from: pierre_pierre have you looked at the Throttling specs?
http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/quality_broadband/speed.shtml#Option4speeds
Interesting, thanks pierre_pierre, I wasn't aware of that document.
If I understand correctly with Option 4. the minimum I should be getting is approx 384Kbps not the 60Kbps I am actually getting.

Are you seeing 60Kbps or 60KBps? As the latter would match the expected speeds between 10 and midnight (512Kbps is roughly 60KBps).

Quote from: Chris The table is expected maximum speeds on the protocols, however we do loosen these when there is spare capacity.

Hi Chris,
I always get my Kbps and KBps mixed up! For those that don't know 1 Kbps = 0.125 KBps

I left download running overnight and did not achieve speeds over 30KBps even after 12am

i havent done any utorrent for a few days but last time i ran i was maxing my line out. i will give it ago just before midnight and see if traffic mangment then releases my line to full speed after midnight.
p.s does it seat at about 30KB - 34KB and not go any higher at all even if you change the maxium connected peers
