Very Slow Download Speeds

[ff2k]

Hi! For the past few days, or week even, I've been getting very slow download speeds. My router reports it's connected at 4.7 Mbit (this varies when I restart my router though, it's usually somewhere between 4.0 and 4.9 MBit), but using speed-testing websites such as Namesco BroadbandMax ADSL Broadband Bandwidth speedtest | Test your ADSL Broadband connection speed are now giving a result of roughly 500kbit download speeds, whereas before I was getting about 3900kbit.

Why is my download speed incredibly low? I am also noticing very low speeds on bittorrent networks.

Is there anything I can do? Or should I be contacting Sky?

Thanks!

Hi! Just read that thread, seems similar to the problems I'm experiencing

I found this on my router log. It's happening quite a lot. Sometimes the port changes. Is it something I should be concerned about?
