Could be a bottleneck somewhere along the route... Just because you're connected to the exchange/ISP at 7+Mb it doesn't mean that you can download from everywhere at that speed as the fastest speed to a point is only as slow as the slowest point...

Try a few different speed tests sites and only if you're still restricted to 3.5Mb should you start looking at the router
