Another Update:

Finally my BRAS profile changed to 5500KB/s and during non peak speedtests etc are fine as is my connection (stable).
This morning
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
IP profile for your line is - 5500 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 7424 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 4794 kbps


Everything is fine during the daytime but at night I have a poor download speed and my connection keeps dropping. And doesnt seem to stabalise. I have noticed people mentioning daytime sync rates and evening rates, granted my evening rate is a little slower around the 7000 rate rather than high 7000's. but my concern is why does my line keep dropping!! Its really annoying, latency /ping times are still ok though...Any thoughts? Should my router / exchange start autmatically syncing at a lot lower rate at night to compensate?(This i would not mind)>?

Contention ratio on your line will probably be a bit higher at night when others are on the same pipe as you. Typical contention for residential customers is around 50-1 meaning in the worst case scenario you could only get about 200kbs.

The joys of a heavily contented connection.

You might want to check the status of your exchange using SamKnows.com
Look at the VP Status - if its red, its bad

Also, those Ellacoya's wont help at peak times.

Thats why a lot of PN's leave their machines to download overnight.

Pain i know.

I have raised a support ticket with them...See what happens....Seems the test was inconclusive that they ran....Possibly because of all the disconnects i keep getting in peak time!
