Hey,

I'm in the SW20 region of London, and every night from around 6pm to about 10pm the internet slows to a complete crawl, download speeds go from 46-50mb to 0.5-2mb. There also appears to be packet loss, games and steaming media don't work and the internet cuts out if anything too intensive is going on.

This seems to happen around the same time every night like clockwork, I was wondering if this could be anything on my side, or some kind of traffic limiting, or even something I could fix myself rather than simply overcrowding, overuse or aforementioned Virgin limiting my speeds?

Thanks for any and all responses,

Mack
