I am having a similar problem. For the last few years I have been
getting a reliable 5-6 Mb/s day and night but for the last month or so
I am getting anything upto 15 Mb/s during the day and 3-4 Mb/s (at
best) in the evenings. I bought a new filter and router (the old one was
10 years old anyway) but it hasn't made a lot of difference.

I am in Paignton and from looking at the BT Wholesale site it seems the
exchange is due an FTTC upgrade in the next couple of months. Does
anyone know if those upgrades benefit everyone on ADSL or just people
paying for fibre?
