So Sky broadband (8mb), showing as 6mb in the sky router setup, however only getting ~1mb through speedtest.
Any ideas?

Just to make sure, you're not getting bits and bytes mixed up right?
Also, if you're still on ADSL, I found that to be easily affected to congestion during busy hours, I would suggest doing another speed test past midnight.

No, apart from my confusing initial post, there's definately a massive discrepancy in the speed the modem is reporting and the speed that is actually coming through.
It's not a poor wifi signal issue, as proven by the 234Mbps the pc is getting over ac.

LLU according to Samknows.
Until about a week ago it was at approx 8mb via speedtest.
Now it's barely 1mb, however the router has been reporting between 7-10 the entire time. Just the throughput that seems to have collapsed.

The exchange is enabled but this road is connected.
Similar story to our other property that is direct to exchange, despite the local cabinet being fibre enabled. Load of crap really!
DLM is my thought also, however why would the router still state that the downstream is 7-10mb, if it's not?

DLM reduces the configured speed so this isn't DLM. Can you turn the wireless off and use a cabled device or change the SSID or password and use one wireless device to check your speed? Use http://speedtest.btwholesale.com for your testing.
If the BT Wholesale checker returns a value for an IP profile then you aren't LLU. At which point the issue could just be that the non-LLU product seems to be more congested than the LLU platform, or it's an IP profile issue that support will need to clear.
You're looking at the sync speed. Lots of factors influence throughput, as others have pointed out.
