Router stats are more preferable than speedtests in the first analysis.

Might be worth setting up a Broadband Quality Meter to get some further clues towards what's happening.

I think you've used the wrong "share" link, you need the fifth one down under

Text Link - BBCode (for forums; including thinkbroadband forums)

{After clicking "Share Snapshot Graph", then the Generate button)

That's the one smile

A bit early to tell yet, a full 24 hours will give a better idea. I think the link you've given will update until midnight, then we'd need another one some time tomorrow.

First thoughts- not encouraging, but I've seen worse. Looks like fairly severe contention somewhere, exchange is the most likely place.

Not 100% sure how BT rate their exchanges, but I think that green just means that nobody falls below the minimum acceptable download speed.

Acceptable to BT, that is... and from a quick read of the thread, you haven't crazy

Speeds do drop with time, as more people on an exchange get broadband then cross-talk noise in the cable increases, as they go for faster products it increases... not much anyone can do about it.

If your local cabinet is fibre enabled you might like to look at that, then you only have to worry about the cable from the cabinet to you. My noise dropped markedly when I went to fibre:

Before fibre: My Broadband Ping

Today: My Broadband Ping

Can't get actual SNR etc figures from a BT VDSL modem unfortunately.
