As I've already explained somewhere or other, we are not in the situation of there being normally only one, (if any), BTW-based ISP offering unlimited usage.
We have the two biggest, both of them geared up to a huge expansion of throughput. We also have unlimited fibre available on Sky and TalkTalk. O2 and Be still have unlimited unthrottled.
Things have moved on. Costs have gone down.
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk | Domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost.
Connection - Plusnet Extra Fibre (FTTC). Sync ~ 54.0/14.9Mbps @ 600m. - BQM

Quite possibly. In terms of other BT Wholesale providers though, I can't forsee BT relaxing its traffic management at least in the short term, having picked up the first wave of heavy downloaders on long contracts. As for Talktalk, I hear they throttle quite heavily on fibre too.

They unlimited as well? Even better - three spreading the load. Two of them with thrown-in incentives to keep punters away from Plusnet  .

Yes, but P2P/Newsgroups slowed during peak: Data caps and download limits
What are the download/upload limits or data usage caps on this product?
Orange Broadband is an unlimited service, with no data usage limit

Still like to know the other BTW-based ISPs you wot of? Sorry, I thought that was obvious. BT Retail, Plusnet, and Orange. All with unlimited.

Just checking there was not another non-BT ISP.

I'm sure that it's not caused by all these upgrades but my download speed has halved in the last week or so!
Interesting as well that you say "in the last week or so". Your fast test is well over a month ago. The normal seasonal disturbances to loads of connections are probably more what you are experiencing. The most frequent cause being your or a neighbour's Christmas lights.
I had some results from about 10 days which were in the region of 14-15Mbs but can't remember which site that was on, obviosly not TBB 
As you say, get Christmas out of the way & see what the New Year brings!!!
