It could simply be congestion.

Wired or wireless connection to the router?

Just for comparison, I'm very pleased to get 4999kbps download on BT Speedtest just measured at 10:48 on a sync of 6652 and a profile of 5500.
This is on a line with an estimated speed of 3.5M, this is why I'm happy. Using a very cheap SafeCOM router that I bought because my Belkin was failing.
There are so many influences on Broadband in general, you need to check speed at different times of day etc. to be at all conclusive, if there is a problem then the forum 'gurus'or PN staff will definitely try to help.
Let us know....
