Slow evening broadband

[#1]

I have recently joined Plusnet from BT with ADSL and every evening from around 6pm onwards, the throughput speed drops from around 9mbps to as low as 1mbps. I spoke to a gentleman over the weekend and it was suggested I could be moved to a less hot connection as it was likely due to congestion, but someone would get back to me.

I have gone through general troubleshooting and this has not improved the broadband speed in the evening although it is fine during the day.

Please could you ask your suppliers to move me onto a "cooler" (less congested) VLAN to improve my broadband speed?
