Are you using the DNS on your router? I found mine clogged up over time and a reboot made quite a difference.

To be honest, I can't see any reason why this would happen.
- You haven't gone over your usage allowance
- Your connection stats are good
- You're being profiled correctly at our end
- There's no generic BT issues in your area
Can you try rebooting your router to see if it improves your speeds at all?

Maybe try leaving it disconnected from the mains for half an hour when it's convenient and give it another go to see if you notice an improvement.

Quote from: Jameseh I certainly wouldn't rule it out as a possibility.

You'd expect to get the problem with all pages though i suppose if it was an overheating router.

If you run that, select DSL, enter 8000, select your operating system and leave Connection as 'normal' you will be given recommendations. You will find a link is given in small letters near the bottom of the results page (just above red text). Copy and paste that here if you'd like us to comment (the graphs in the "more detail" section can be helpful).
Please also mention your router make and model, and how you connect to it (wired or wireless) and post your router stats (sync speeds, noise margins and attenuations).

If you refresh a page using CTRL+F5 to force it to refetch everything does it come down much smoother the second time? It it does it could point to a DNS issue as the second time all the DNS lookups will be cached.
Are you using Fasterfox? If not give it a try and see if that improves things (but do turn off the enhanced pre-fetching feature!).
