I have a small (windows) network with a few people on it.
We have internet access via a BT router
Generally things are all fine, but occasionally, we seem to experience a dramatic loss of bandwidth.
I could be suffering from a zombie PC or a user running torrent software… Or I could simply have some kind of restriction being placed on my by my ISP?
I want to find out what is going on.
Is there a simple tool which I can run to give me a real world (Which Apps on Which PCs) are using all the bandwidth at any given point?

I have used NetWorx to allow indiviual users to monitor their bandwidth use, and as it keeps good exportable logs it gives some useful statistics. Assuming the BT router you use supports it you can use PRTG or MRTG to actually monitor the usage on the WAN and possibly LAN ports.
