Did a wired connection and had exactly the same issue, so it does look like either my gear is shonky or the connection is.
Does anyone know whether I can raise a fault here (just in case they can have a look at my line) or do I need to do the chat/phone thing?
Thanks again all for taking the time to comment here as well - very appreciated

Hi,
I think I will buy one today, as the router I have from the ISP isn't very good anyway. That should definitively show whether it is my gear or the ISP which is causing the problem.

I bought a new router (Asus RT-AC66U B1 dual band - best I could get for budget). Works all fine wired up and full speed download and minimal bufferbloat but wireless on either 2.4 or 5 bands is as bad as before in games. DSL reports has some completing and giving a bufferbloat score of D and some tests failing to complete.
No idea where to go next unless I replace my wireless dongle and check again. Netalyzer on the phone still reports the issue with 2037 vs 1492 MTU and now says I am on a DNS blacklist (but no issues in virus scans on avast (downloaded trial) or Win Defender, so another thing there...
Bit stumped

So you just changed the router and not the modem then? Which modem are you using - try changing that.
