Just done some tests.
I usually download ISO's from HEAnet in Ireland, in the past they have always come down at 1024 KB/sec but recently the speed has dropped to 530 KB/sec. As the Irish Speed Test has recently shown a similar drop in speed I put it down to ntl work in progress.

Tonight I decided to check so I downloaded the same file from 2 university sites in England, both sites downloaded at 1140 KB/sec so it would appear that the problem (for me at least) is not with ntl after all.
