This is not a complaint I'm just perplexed as to cause
I'm pretty sure my upload speed used to be above 300kbps. I don't often check speeds because we've so rarely (touch wood) had a problem. But a month or two ago it took ages to upload files to dropbox and a speedtest showed upload speed was below 100kbps. On every speed test since then the upload speed has been between 94-146kbps.
It hasn't bothered me because I don't upload very often but I'm intrigued as to why it is so low when the download speeds are consistently in excess of 6500kbps which is adequate for our needs.
Forgot to add Plusnet's line speed:
Estimated line speed:
There's no speed estimate currently held on your account.
Current line speed:
7.15 Mb
Will new filters make a difference?
Thanks for reading.

I'll try disabling antivirus next time
I don't think it can be p2p as we don't use (or know how to use) p2p
Cheers

If the 720,889 number of loss of signal errors is accurate, then that's a terribly high number.

@ejs Thanks for the link. I wonder if you have found the cause. My router is the TG585 v8 firmware version 8.2.7.8

regarding the router causing it - can you try wired as that effect was only on wireless

Looks like it is the router But on the bright side the 300kbps wasn't my imagination
Buy a new router or use the cable when uploading photos? Decisions, decisions.
@ejs thanks again for the tip off.

I'll try changing to a different wireless channel tomorrow when I'm feeling more awake I don't want to break the internet.
If that fails I may ask plusnet for a new router. This one is approx two years old.
Cheers

The slow upload speed does, as ejs's link suggested, appear to be the router. I tried different wireless channels yesterday but no improvement. I also installed inSSIDer and there's no cross channel interference from nearby.
Thanks to all who replied and to ejs for leading me to the cause of the problem.
Cheers
