Not really looking for advice on how to improve it, just a bit of fun and healthy (if not weird) competition to see who else lives in the dark ages!

88? The mind boggles. One advantage of fast speeds on here is you can add a crossword answer without finding 5 people have got in before you :-)

I live in a rural village only a few miles from Exeter, sp.
2.7 download, and 0.5 upload, so, similar to you.
No cable or fibre optics available, so that's the best I can get. My speed is perfectly Ok for normal use. The trouble is with "contention". (The number of users on at one time.) The exchange serves two villages and a huge rural area. After 6pm, or at weekends, everybody piles on, and that's when it all slows down.

I get something similar, about 2.4 if I'm lucky. What annoys me is when I go to watch a movie on Amazon Prime, I select HD, the speed is then checked so that the film can be streamed at a suitable speed so as not to buffer, the movie is then played in SD, but I'm still charged the HD rental price, conning gits!
