Well actually... The amount of increase in latency is far higher than one would expect from any saturated link, and looks more like what you'd expect from an overloaded firewall or DPI module. That and the consistency of its effects across VM's entire network do make me wonder...

Firstly, that speed test was NAMESCO London, the one that gives me the most consistent results; usually 104Mb. The bump is having a significant effect on my service.
Thanks regarding Xilo. I just went for the obvious.
Whatever the reason for the action VM is taking during the evening, it is clear that it is calculated. It isn't just the natural effect of congestion. It commences and ceases too abruptly for that. The CS explanation given me is that they are having temporary server problems and they are merely reducing the service at that time to avoid meltdown whilst they fix it. Pinch of salt taken before ringing them.

Yes it would. Since there is no fault with my local connection or network I was not given one.
