Contention can happen at two places, between you and the exhange which 
is rare, more likely its between BT's network and your ISP if they 
haven't provisioned enough bandwidth for number of customers they are 
serving (like PlusNet at the momement). Therefor you may be able to 
get a good speed a BT server, but not to your ISP (I don't get 
anything over 1900Kb/s regardless of the far higher sync rate or 
maximum stable rate figures).

Anyway this is now well off topic for Iyonix-Support, so follow ups to 
csa.networking plase.
