Hey everyone, I'm here trying to figure out my issue. I have fiber internet at home with a 100down and 30up plan, but my speeds drop significantly after 7 PM. Right now I can barely load anything, and the connection is very slow in Australia. The time here is 10:03 AM, but my Wi-Fi is really weak. Thanks!

It seems ISP set a cap on my speed. Have you reached out to them for clarification? Yes, I was correct. https://help.iinet.net.au/speeds-nbn-network-explained

Many AU ISPs enforce network restrictions during peak times. Check your plan's conditions and report any issues.

On the site it mentions that speeds may drop between 7p and 11p.

They were really open about it, though it’s frustrating. During the pandemic, most folks relied on their broadband for relaxation outside of regular work hours.

This approach isn't very effective. If you anticipate issues at night, establish a reliable system to ensure consistent service instead of relying on vague predictions. It looks like they're mainly tracking network performance and sharing those numbers without actively managing traffic to guarantee fair usage based on payment. (This seems to be how BT operates in the UK, I think)

I think there’s no escape from this situation. It’s frustrating paying a lot for slow speeds—like $100 a month—and getting only 2 Mbps during peak hours. The plan claims about 90 Mbps in the evenings, but that’s not what I’m experiencing. Appreciate all the help you’ve given me to better understand this.

I concur. I believe your ISP should lower your monthly fee if this persists. Running a bandwidth-monitoring tool could provide them with concrete data to consider further actions. Just to confirm, your speed tests were conducted using a direct connection to the ISP device or router?

I wasn’t aware it was still functioning, and definitely I connect my PC directly to the router using a 10GB Ethernet card.
