Me too. Just for comparison if I purchase and download a film from the net here it can take 3 days for it to download. If I download at my mum's in Cheshire, using the same alleged capacity it takes 25 minutes!
Bit of Background info; my BT Broadband has never been great. I’m situated about 4 miles from the Barrack telephone exchange.
Last November my Assured Rate IP Profile was 500 Kbps and I was getting a download speed of about 441 Kbps. At the beginning of this year my Assured Rate IP Profile dropped to 350 Kbps and I was then getting a download speed of about 310 Kbps. Yesterday my Assured Rate IP Profile dropped to 250 Kbps and I’m now getting a download speed of about 216 Kbps. I use BT's own speedtester.
This morning I couldn't even connect to BT's speedtester.
Is anyone else having problems with BT?

BT, best not get me started on them. Needless to say home broadband is one in a long list of things they can't do - it's like they hire for incompetence.
You might want to run a check here to see if you can get a BE line as opposed to a BT line. BE are much better even over longer distances using something called Annex M.
