Do a traceroute? 20ms doesn't look like fastpath to me, then again fastpath doesn't exist on FTTC

Differences like that tend to be down to differences in the way our two routers handle pings. That's not unusual, the constant yellow fluff on Sagem routers is another example (e.g. Sky)

Also in terms of yellow spikes that seem at regular intervals it could be router related, my billion 7402NX when I was using it had yellow spikes on my FTTC, but now on the asus rt-n16 they gone.

BT may use N+N redundancy which means load is always spread across all available paths (including the backup ones) even when the main isn't faulted. Just my speculation.
In any case it varies a lot based on IP, and reconnecting your PPPoE session can change your ping quite a bit. I've seen differences of +/- 5ms even when connected to the same PPPoE gateway. Mine varies between 18ms minimum and 23ms maximum depending on my IP so when my session drops (if ever) I tend to redial frantically till I get one with the lowest latency then keep it there :-P
