Did you move the filter?

When I moved my ADSL line filter, initially my down speed reduced (the
router reported it down from 8M/bit to 7.5M/bit, but within three for four
days it had recalibrated and was back to its previous value.

Does your router report a different connection rate now?

Well that may be true too. Maybe talk to BT, they can get the line to
"re-optimise" which may bring you back to your old speed.

Recently, my line speed seemed to drop, (down to ~1.6 M/bit - about
200kbytes/s for no apparent reason, even though the router reported
8Mbit/s (i'm with plusnet, who are owned by BT). After raising a support
call, and rebooting my router, I am now back to my full rate.

Sometimes suppliers maybe "try it on" just to see if the customer notices.
