This rings a big bell with me. Exactly the same situation - Brighton, 20mb down to ~2mb if I'm lucky, and it doesn't matter what time of day. I hadn't made the link, but looking back it coincides with the removal of being able to use proxies.

Definitely not a router issue as exactly the same with direct connection (after rebooting everything). Had two visits from VM engineers who have checked everything there is to check inside and out and who have both escalated it to the network bods. Unfortunately still nothing resolved so as a last resort they are sending one more engineer out on Tuesday.

I'm at the stage where it's last chance saloon now for VM. Will let you know how it goes...
