Have you isolated it by trying another machine with speedtest.com to be
certain it isn't your dsl?
I had an issue with my DSL that turned out to be a known problem at Bell
affecting multiple customers that had a 3-month schedule delay to fix.
It was fixed about a month or two after the UBB crap hit the fan.
I initially thought it was spurious DNS and ICMP traffic that was
gobbling my upload bandwidth, but turned out to be further into Bell's
network. I was getting 40 KB/s when I should have been getting 800 KB/s.
At peak times and load, I was getting 23 second pings.
