Slow broadband, but torrent downloads at full speed

OsZa

Every evening my broadband speed falls down from 12 Mbps to 2 Mbps. I have Sky broadband now, but i had same problem with Eircom. My line is NGB enabled.
Recently i noticed despite poor www.speedtest.net results, utorrent download speed is flying.
Torrent is NOT on all the time, that is NOT speed drop reason.
Googled my problem, but nothing useful come up.
Looking here for any advise and possible solution to my problem. Thanks!

For some people, Speedtest can be unreliable. What's your ping like? Do pages load slow?

You can have the fastest speed in the world, but if your ping is high, the pages will take ages to load.

How do you know if your speed is dropping to 2 Mb if you say your uTorrent is flying? That's a contradiction.

Morning speedtest http://www.speedtest.net/result/2603059775.png
and evening http://www.speedtest.net/result/2604529083.png
Same server, same ping 41 ms.
Browsing is slow, Netflix not possible to watch, but torrent dowloads at 1000 kB/s. Linux ISO downloading much slower, average speed is just 100 kB/s.
If ring Sky, they will tell your line is OK. What can i do?
