Broadband Speed has dropped

Question

Hello, my family have been with BT for a good 5 years now and haven't had many problems at all. We are using the BT Home Hub 2.0, and have been so for about 3 years. The broadband speed is generally very good and I have had no reason to complain at all, however we encountered a problem which began about a week ago. Last week the broadband began to slow down and cut out every 5 minutes or so for a whole day, so I thought to switch the Hub off at the wall overnight as it may help. I switched it back on in the morning and sure enough it had stopped cutting out, BUT now the broadband speed seems to have dropped hugely. I use the wireless to play Xbox and for my computer to do work and watch the occasional YouTube video but am being forced to not be able to watch or do any work as the speed is that bad. The only devices connected to the Hub are my computer, my brother's and my Dad's iPod, and also the main family computer when it is in use (barely ever). However these have always been connected so it can't be any problems with these that have caused the broadband to slow down. Does anyone have any idea what could have occured to trigger this problem, and how I may be able to sort it?
Thankyou.

Unfortunately the connection has not changed one bit and it has been nearly a week now, you said to return to this thread if I still have a problem so here I am! Do you know what could possibly be wrong?
