There is more of this generally - I'm on my second BT Wholesale congestion issue in 9 months, TalkTalk are having some capacity issues and even Hyperoptic are struggling a bit.
You can, however, feel happier. The same upgrades that will allow 300Mb will also relieve the congestion which is part of the reason why you might have seen an uptick in the complaints, these upgrades aren't superquick in some areas.
Bandwidth usage is growing 50-60% per year, sometimes capacity falls behind especially on cable networks where adding it can be tricky. Of course the ideal is to have no capacity issues at all but it's running at perhaps 2-3% of customers having issues, no more, these just happen to be pretty vocal and with the community forum being there their issues get a wider audience.
