Desparately Slow Download Speeds

For the last 12 years I've had slow internet speeds due to our distance from the exchange but at least they've always been consistent.  I started with a download speed of 60KBps, last year it double to 120-130KBps but for the past few days it's dropped to a max of 45KBps.

I even have a neighbour who lives futher from me on the telephone line who has consistent speeds of 245KBps.

Is there any reason for this sudden drop?

Hi,

Did you carry out the test via Ethernet? if so could you report back the speed range for your line here

The previous tests were carried out over wi-fi but these three screenshots are via an ethernet cable including your requested link.

 

Thanks
