What are you downloading? If it's peer to peer then you may well be getting throttled, as it is currently a peak time.
If so, either purchase the 'Plusnet Pro addon', which is £5 a month, and removes throttling for most things, or just do your downloading after midnight, as it's usually faster and you have an unlimited amount of usage.

Remember these speeds are kiloBytes per second. You need to multiply by 8 to get the speed in kilobits per second, as speeds are usually quoted.
