Summat wrong here with my connection. Today's increase in speed tp 5619 resulted from changing the wireless netgear for a wired netgear modem/router. There's some history here too. Some time ago BT were called out and fixed my bad line and subsequently we have had stable connections. BT man was outside on Saturday and bailed out the underground box in the path. He was checking on a bad connection further up the road and therefore inspected our branch.

Are you seeing stable speeds when hard wired into your router as opposed to using a wireless connection?
Can you continue to monitor the situation when wired into the router to see if you experience similar fluctuations. If you don't, I'd investigate using different wireless channels, checking out cordless phones, and so on.

Luckily I have 2 router/modems - one is wireless enabled and 1 isn't. It makes not a jot of difference to my connections. I've just managed to get here after talking to CS & will try the fault checker.
Update to my connection speeds:

I think you're missing the point I'm making a little bit.
By removing your son's access to the internet, you would be removing his ability to download large files (obviously I don't know whether or not this is happeninig) which would drastically impact your download speeds via speed checkers.

1556 speed was achieved after a hard re-set of the router.

Quote from: SGTE BT speed test just hung at 96%.
Was that using FF? Despite what the website claims I think the BT speedtester probably works only with IE. From what I recall this is a Java related issue.
