hi phillip
this is very unusual especially since you are located so close to your local exchange,however i cant see your isp capping your connection speed or download speed as they are obliged to contact you via e-mail before they restrict your broadband service
one of the most common reasons for this type of slow down on internet connections is due to spyware,and allthough you may think you are totally protected you will be suprised how easily spyware can creep on to your p.c
however aswell as spyware being a major problem on home p.c,s a new menace called "rootkits" is causing just as many problems as spyware
rootkits are simialr to spyware but are much much harder to locate and remove,so you need a dedicated removal tool such as "Sophos Anti-Rootkit"(http://www.sophos.com/prod...
also run a "ping" test to discover your connection speed,a ping test will send 4 packets of information to a specific url and give you a average round trip speed of the four,to do this go to start%26gt;run and type ping www.bbc.co.uk(you can use any website)
