Ohhh just had my prayers answered via a thunderstorm......just had one huge flash of lightning and one loud bang, with the hub switching on and off......now I have my speed back -:

Speed Down 5416.98 Kbps ( 5.3 Mbps )
Speed Up 375.96 Kbps ( 0.4 Mbps )
Port 8095

Which is not bad for this time of day......

Looks like someone above is fed up of BT and has taken to solving their problems......lol
