Ah! a Killer 2400 Nic. A quick google turned this up https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/win-10-pro-22h2-ethernet-upload-speed-slow/9b9... which includes this

Surprised I figured it out. My PC (Dell) uses the Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Turning off the Killer Prioritization Engine fixed this problem.

Well knock-me-down-with-a-feather!  It worked - attached screenshots of before and after to prove it, 

Simply turning that slider to 'Off' and all is well again!!

Thank YOU @MisterW! 😇

Indeed!!

Well that’s another user side consideration to be added to the “My FTTP ain’t as fast as it should be…” hidden causes list!

In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Apparently I can expect the 'Killer Prioritisation Engine' to 're-enable' itself if the posts by 'MidwestSteve' are to be believed (Intel Community forum - https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/Killer-Intelligence-Center-Slow-Upload-Speed/td-p/1...) is to be believed (he's the one who originally posted the issue on the Microsoft Community forum.....and figured out the solution (which @MisterW managed to find).
