I'm going to do this shortly. Only thing is, wouldn't the limit be noticeable already in the WAN speed? I'd have thought they'd limit the speed to the router, rather than using the router to 'filter' it out.
But I will try.

Does that mean you are normally using powerline connectors to get to the desktop computer? If so, unplug them all and see what happens with a wired connection then.

We actually just used to have the router plugged into an extension which was next to this desktop. More recently, the desktop hasn't been connected at all while I try to sort this out. The plan is to wire an ethernet extension to it once this is all resolved, or else use powerline if it can be done without disruption.
We do also have powerline extensions in a couple of places for other things, but those have been disconnected/switched off from the start of my experiments. At this point, they aren't even plugged in.

No, this is a limit placed at the IP level, for BT Wholesale based connections (which you are not I believe) this is called the IP Profile.

You amazing human being! It's worked. Download speed up to 20.2 Mbps. That's close enough for me (1.2 Mbps down on the WAN speed).
Upload is 1.84, which is also as it should be (although it was already there before. Incidentally I don't understand why it would have worked right in that direction before but not the other way, but it doesn't matter.
Thank you all so much, and particularly MrSaffron, RobertoS and Ukhardy07.

Very pleased for you 
The 2.4Ghz WiFi on the HG633 isn't great so stick to 5Ghz when you can.
My experience with Talktalk has been overall really good. Customer service is dire but the connection I personally find performs better than my BT one, it weirdly just "feels" a lot faster to load pages. I maintain both a BT & talktalk connection.

Thanks, I will do.
I've had mixed feelings about TalkTalk as there has been a bit of sneaky behaviour with new contracts over the past couple of years, as well as dodgy customer service. However, I do appreciate that when I've had legitimate issues recently, they've been quick to offer decent upgrades and perks. Think they've also tried to improve the customer service actually.
And so far the fibre is a massive improvement on the broadband previously. Steady and fast.
