Perhaps instead of testing with wget, you could use curl, and use the --local-port option to test different local port numbers, to see if that affects anything.
Edit: or test with the same local port number each time and see if the slow transfers still occur occasionally.

When i try to run a speedtest on http://www.speedtest.net theres like a 20 second delay before it begin to show me my speed test, anyone else noticed this ?
It used to normally show the speedtest as soon as i clicked on test speed.
Ive uploaded a screenshot of the delay i get when i click begin test......... very odd.

Yes I get that... it sits there before trying to work out which server to use.

Im currently running a test via dropbox, im downloading the same 1.75Gb file on one laptop that is connected by Ethernet cable on my Plusnet connection and on another laptop that is connecting to my BT business line in my office(20 meters away)via WiFi.
The laptop connected to my Plusnet connection is fluctuating between 23kbps and 3.7mbps, its been running for 6 minutes and is 28% done(its currently telling me 8 hours+ left).
The laptop connected to my BT line is running at 4,3Mbps constantly and has already finished.
Its far past being funny now Plusnet and your avoidance of this thread speaks volumes.
Edit, The download from my Plusnet connection just finished, so it took 40 minutes on the Plusnet connection and just over 6 minutes on the BT connection, both lines are syncing at 37mbps.
Further edit,
Just had a voicemail left from a member of Plusnet's staff, despite my line showing no fault and the exchange showing as green and the Vlan's running cool they still want to send out an engineer to fix the issue(they say that not being able to run the BT speedtest further diagnostics test means i need an engineer to fix it).
The fault is not going to be fixed by an Openreach engineer as its not a physical fault.

PN do seem to be in total denial over this, The chance of us all getting faults which all exhibit this totally odd behaviour is just about zero yet they insist that its not them.....

There are a couple of other people in same situation.
or do you know how to get these faults raised and fixed of adsl/fttc data mismatch in btw? Sending an engineer is just going to cost plusnet engineer visit costs, and is masking the underlying issue

I had that problem where the further diagnostics wouldn't run and I was pointed in the direction of @scrookes who has sorted it for me and others in the forum. Perhaps a PM to him may help?

@MrSilver I could understand it being a ADS: to FTTC error if i was a newly upgraded customer however i've been a FTTC customer since January 2015.
The new thought process from Plusnet regarding this issue and the peak time slowdowns i have been having is that im uploading around 3Gb in a few hours and therefore saturating the line causing the slowdown on download throughput, now given that i upload on probably 1 or 2 days that just doesn't fit and i never upload that size of file anyway, at most its a couple hundred Mb. My connection also shows usage when im not in or when im in bed (11pm till 5am daily) which is not possible in any way, i live on my own and i have wireless disabled on my router so i know no-one can be using my connection.
There are many things broken with the Plusnet network and they are simply not interested in fixing them and only seem concerned with apportioning blame elsewhere.

Having glanced at your fault ticket I think you may be misinterpreting the daily graphs for the hourly ones. None of those I saw show any significant traffic between the hours you state. On the contrary, all seems to be quiet during the hours you're asleep.
Admittedly, I haven't looked into it in detail, but the upload figures from a handful of the charts I can see in your ticket aren't indicative of upload saturation. I know this doesn't help your cause any but thought I'd put my 2p in regardless.
Anyway...

A lot more useful information in this thread now, could you please update the relevant bods and perhaps provide some feedback to us.
Apologies, been on a festive sabbatical. I've found a bit of time today to catch up on the posts since I was last here though.
Firstly, be aware that we do have a ticket open for the single threaded speedtest observations (ref: 96615). That's been the case since before Christmas.
Appreciate everybody's efforts in their continued testing and particular thanks to @MrSilver for taking the time to upload all the test files/write the *nix script.
I'm in the middle of a few runs of it on my connection at home this evening and will report back with my findings. Unlike many here, I can force my connection over both L2TP and PTA (read: static IP and dynamic), so will test with both...
