If it's just congestion/over-subscription in your area then they'll be inadvertently punishing everyone in your area, not just you.
Easing back on your heavy downloading schedule won't make any difference, except for giving the other users in your street a few more kbps.
It won't help with realtime stuff like BBC's iPlayer, but you could probably schedule a lot of whatever else you're downloading for the wee small hours, like between 01:00 and 08:00.
Would mean leaving your compy on overnight of course, if you don't already.
Doesn't sound as though you've ruled out the possibility of a technical fault yet though.

well since i did the speed tests ive now stopped downloading full stop, if it is a technical fault ive no idea how to check if everythings ok, the technical support guy did say the modem was fine. Take today for example im getting alot of "server can not be found" pages, maybe its the router so thats something i could try.
