Internet unreliable, connections dropping, Hub Manager incredibly slow

Over the last week, I have noticed a real degradation in my internet performance. I have tried the usual - restarting the hub etc.. with limited success. 

Today is worse than ever. The EE app for connecting to my hub doesn't work very well yet thinks the Broadband Status  looks good - despite not being able to launch the "Test your broadband" page.

What can I do to further diagnose the issue? My postcode is G63. 

Here are some of the exports taken from the Hub's status and Technical Information pages (can't upload the files):

When I do a ping of say the BBC I get this, suggesting packets are being dropped and highlighting the problem:
