That possibility crossed my mind too. However, since I get 20 meg at other times of the day then the only conclusions I can arrive at is that the slow speed is caused by either traffic management or by an overloaded network. This is my latest speed test:-

1st 128K took 43 ms = 3048186 Bytes/sec = approx 25361 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 49 ms = 2674939 Bytes/sec = approx 22255 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 53 ins = 2473057 Bytes/sec = approx 20576 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 53 ins = 2473057 Bytes/sec = approx 20576 kbits/sec
