Not sure if they are having network issues at the moment, I have posted on their forum but just wanted to see if anyone here is being effected, usually get around 18.5mb down and 1.1mb up, however as of thursday/friday my latency has gone from avg 31ms to avg 56ms and download dropped to around 8mb.

I have done all internal checks replacing filters, cables, running quiet line test, there is nothing on the network that could be causing this, as I have a clean laptop, unplugged everyone else from the network and done some testing which yeilded no results, as far as I am concerned, my BT line looks healthy, its remaining up and stable, usually you would see random disconnections all over the place or low sync speeds if it was a line issue.

some stats show some interesting results

Cheers for that

Must be area specific at the moment, some guy has just posted on BE forums with similar issues with similar results who is a couple of exchanges down from me in the next town.

Not sure if there is a routing issue somewhere.
 
Mine looks a bit worse than yours, I'm on o2 broadband but should be the same I think. I'm on llu but only get 2.5mb/900k.
I usually average ~53ms to any site at the best of times, but over the last day have noticed a drastic slowdown just in general browsing, I don't game so cant comment on ping too much. I use homeplugs which is why the first hop is so much.
I use opendns too so its not that
