My personal experience in the WA5 postcode. Judging from the VM help forum plenty of others have a similar pattern in this area.

I'm on a 152Mb tariff and during the day get max speeds all the time. Until about two months ago evening and weekends were awfull with speeds down in sub 10Mb range

Recently work has been done in the area including refitting the local street cabinet.

Now peak still drops but its rarely drops below 60Mb and we have no evidence of buffering on streaming video including 4k Netflix and the kid seems reasonably happy with Xbox performance.

This is only one snapshot of one house in one postcode.
