Yeah, I put that there to show things weren't perfect all the time, but to be fair, congestion is very rare and it might even be from my local exchange (doubt it though as I'm in a small village).

Sorry to bump this thread, but I should update this. My poor speeds were being caused by a misconfiguration at the local exchange. This problem has been on my line since my Entanet days. Back then 'James' from adsl24 and his 'account manager' at Entanet couldn't even tell me what the problem was let alone fix it. Within a day of me outlining the problem to AAisp, the problem was diagnosed and fixed. My line has been a solid 7meg every day since.
They really are a top notch team.
