Slow Download and Slow Upload.... AGAIN!!!

I originally posted here:
http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,93926.0.html
about my slow upload speed and followng the advice of JoJo, updated the firmware on the router and noticed a bit of an improvement. However over the past 2 weeks I've noticed again that the speed down & up has reduced again. Despite many tests at various days / times using speedtest.bt.com or speedtest.net I consistently get a slow speed, must less that I should be getting.
Can you help shed any light on things and improve my low speed?
Have tested using Android phone / new Win7 PC / Win 7 laptop / Win XP laptop all with similar results so I don't think its related to PC things.
thanks in advance,
Barry

For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :6208 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5000 Kbps
Jim: - during this thread so far my test results have been on Wireless with various devices ranging from 1m from router to 1 floor above router. My original thread (in my OP) was all wired testing. Will be able to do a wired test tmrw, although I fear the same results.
I notice there are loads and loads of errors showing in the stats from my router. That can't be right. Is that related?
thanks

In previous threads on here I've seen numerous times that Plusnet recommends leaving the router switched on 24/7 (which I do). However in a bid to try something to improve my slow connection, I restarted the router. It had an immeadiate improvement yesterday which is still better today:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 4389 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :6784 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5000 Kbps
So on the face of it, simply restarting my router "solved" my issues. However, I'm still worried by the amount of errors shown in my router details (above) and also, do my router statistics look sensible to you (below) now?

The staff on here will probably pick this up later - they should be able to get the SNR reset to 6dB which should improve your downstream rate.

My original Router stats were:
Uptime: 8 days, 0:31:20
DSL Type: G.992.1 annex A
Channel mode: Fast
Maximum Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,152 / 6,208

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/GB]: 0.00 / 2.56
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 19.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 14.5 / 28.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 28.0 / 14.0
Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / TSTC
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 4 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote): 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 65,592 / 0
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 9 / 0
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 24 / 6,985
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / NA
Which showed uptime of 8 days and 65,592 "error seconds" which seemed like an awful lot really.
Hope the staff can help as you say.
thanks
