Looks like you've maybe had a flurry of disconnects or lots of noise and the profile has dropped rapidly to try and keep the line stable.

Leave it alone for 24 hours then try another speedtest on the BT system.

Don't worry about the massive amount of CRC errors, it's a bug, it's not really doing that.

He's not the only one.
My speed has dropped to dialup outside peak hours and it looks like I'm being throttled.

As a heavy user, I completely accept and don't mind being throttled back in peak hours as per the T&C's but at 4.30am, dialup speeds is not acceptable.

I seem to remember that when I approached 100Gb with Bt "Unlimited", the threat was to throttle to a 1Mb service 24/7 for a whole month, despite the T&C quoting peak hours for fair use. I think that if you hit 100Gb, that goes out of the window and you are then throttled round the clock for being a naughty boy.
I have had enough of BT Option 3 prices and have gone for Post Office at nearly half the price.
I cannot understand that nobody has resisted capping a "Unlimited" service through the courts. The best advice I gan give is move ISP.

yep look at the ip profile only 1/2 meg on your 8 megline so looks like lots of resynchs basically if your line stays stable between 3-5 days will see your speed come back to the max

It looks like the OP may have only posted half the results. The 'assured rate' is Bt Vision related.

ah ty yiou are quite right we need to see what you ip profile is for this

What other information do i need to post and where do i get it ,bit of a pc newbie im afraid.

If you do a speedtest at http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ and post the results here, it should show your IP Profile, which is the speed that your line is set at.
