I do have several people using the connection at various stages, more so than during the day (usually), but in the past I can't say that I've noticed such large fluctuations and gaming in particular has suffered much more recently. Any ideas?

Are you using the plusnet modem, or a third party one, as some perform better than others (a bad one will sync at a high speed, but struggle to maintain it, a good one will sync slightly slower, but never drop sync). I've found both plusnet modems quite good in this regard

To get around it, I got a new router that I could tweak the SNR to replace the free technicolor. I set it higher during the day[7db currrently] so that when the interference starts it doesn't drop below 6db during the night. As previously if it got below 5db my connection would become unstable.
So take note of the SNR on your router when its stable and when not, which probably drops below 6.
