That's probably just BT tinkering about with their database.
It doesn't mean that your speeds are going to drop.

Re: My Estimated Line Speed Has Dropped

You are currently connected to the "City Lifeline, Juniper 11" gateway. This gateway is sometimes known as pcl-ag04.
Me again every evening my speeds are dropping to half of what my line speed is that i usually get through the day,please see the screen capture p.n.
(edit) And now after midnight up to full line speed again!! See second screen capture.
