Look at the box, it doesn't say ISO 3200 it just says 3200. That's because it's not really an ISO 3200 film, so Ilford can't say so on the box.
It's real speed is around 1200 from memory, but I'm assuming it's a low contrast film which means that it can be pushed to 3200 without too many side effects.
I've used it at 3200, but generally shot it at 1600. At 3200 I found the grain to be a bit on the high side.
You should get better results that this, it looks like a metering, or possible a processing, problem.
