I've just done a BT speedtest and got the following results:-
Download speedachieved during the test was - 37.11 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 29.64 Mbps-37.05 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 37.05 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 3.33Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps
The data has been sent to the server.

Some testers (including the BT Wholwsale one) understate upload speed, sometimes quite severely. I'm not quite sure why. At one time I had some testers estimating 4 or so upload when I was actually getting 18 or so.
It may well not be the tester, but worth trying.

In my experience the uplink is normally rock solid and reliable as an indicator of connection health. If I lose speed on the downlink, but the uplink stays put, I can be pretty sure that the slower Downlink is traffic related.

Burst of around 81Mbps near the end of the test is strange. Are you connecting via wireless? That anomaly maybe due to some sort of buffering/anti-virus program.
Try the alternative speed test here:

With regards to other devices using the connection, I had a Android mobile that would in the background, backup all the videos and images without me knowing. If you have any mobile devices connected, check to see if they are doing any backing up.

Quote from: Chris Your upload sync is at 7.2Mbps which is around what I'd expect based on the estimates for your line. Around the time of the speedtest we saw quite a chunk of upload usage on your line, can you ensure that anything doing backups, uploads etc is stopped and try another speedtest?
Just done another test as follows:-
Download speedachieved during the test was - 28.81 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 29.64 Mbps-37.05 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 37.05 Mbp
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 3.01Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps
The only time my usage monitor showed more than about10.00kbits was when it was doing the upload test.

I can't see any issues other than the upload usage, between 1 and 2pm when you did that test there was 850MB of upload traffic. If there was none at the time of doing the test it might be worth reporting a fault to us.

It may be worth also checking what make of DSLAM you are connecting to. See link below:
http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/cabinet-lookup.htm
There are known issues with inter-compatibility between the makes of equipment used.
You may of been hit with the G.INP 'fix'.

You can either wait for it to improve on its own (no guarantee it will) or see if another router/modem will improve the situation...
