Speed drop following PC switch-off and on again

Is this likely to be related to the switch-off, or could it be a coincidence and was actually caused by something else? In either case, is there likely to be anything I can do to get back to the former speed?
Many thanks.

Download: 44.29 Mbps
Download IP profile: 64.01 Mbps
Upload: 3.12 Mbps
Upload IP profile: 20 Mbps
"We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time."
I just experimentally downloaded a file using uTorrent, which reported the speeds like this:
Download: 5.9 MB/s
Upload: 7.1 kB/s
Before the sudden speed drop, I was seeing a download figure of well over 7 MB/s, sometimes almost as high as 8.

So where to now
First check - I assume that these tests are wired - is the TBB speed test which tends to be more informative http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html

Current line speed was reported as 64 Mbps, and downloading a test file with uTorrent gave a speed of 6.4 MB/s. These figures seem to be quite close to what I used to get, and are certainly better than what I was achieving during the slow patch.
Thanks for your help.
