    perhaps your line is limited to that speed coz you could be between 4.5km to 6km from the exchange which is the maximum distance dsl stretchs out too. How far are you from your local exchange?

    Is the speed now constantly lower, or does it fluctuate. If its the latter then you might be the victim of contention ?

    Contention where exactly?
    If there is contention on the backhaul, I doubt it can affect the synch speed.
    I'd be tempted to take allextraneous telecom equipment from the line and try and resynch
