Did it stay like that for you? Been running like a 1 legged dog for me at night still.
Particularly bad tonight, speeds tests vary between 33k modem and 256k isdn equivalents (I've got a 4Mb line). Just done a tracert to BBC.co.uk and got this:

Don;t suppose anyone can see if there's anything at my end that's the problem. It's getting really frustrating now
