It might just be me, but are you mistaking your IP address for connection speeds?

Machan.. ADSL speeds to fluctuate a lot. You will never get a constant speed. WIth regard to SLT ADSL, your ISP provides you a dynamic IP which expires evrey 24hrs or so or might be less.So everytime it refreshes the IP you get a new connection with the ISP. That changes the speeds as well. All though they say 512Kbps its a theorotical value and your true download speed would be around 200Kbps-300Kbps. The distance from your place to the local exchange also matters to the speed. The further you are from the Exchange the lower the speeds you will get. Its the nature of it so don't worry :)

It sometimes happen to me too, when my modem gets randomly reset or when something is wrong at the SLTs end mostly, but the modem could also be responsible for this. It will fix itself after a while or atleast mine did.
