As I mentioned it sounds like ISP capacity problems to me

Guess I better look for a new ISP then...

I'm tempted with AAISP, but it's a bit costly! I'm paying £20 a month at the moment for (I think) 50GB.

I take it you are happy no one else is using/stealing your bandwidth in the evenings?
i.e. It's not just due to more people in your household using the internet and if you have wireless it's secure?

Only my PC is connected to the router, with the WiFi locked down to MAC filtering for my mobile phone & laptop. So, pretty sure no one else is stealing the bandwidth.

Thanks for the replies.

which exchange and what do you define as "evening" when the slowdowns occur

Mostly after 7pm.

The more I look at AAISP details, the more I think it will suit me, after all. The peak/off peak is suitable for me.

So I will switch to them as soon as I get the MAC key and see how I get on...

Did you find AAISP's night-time rate, as opposed to off-peak?

... between 2am and 6am usage is metered at 1000GB/unit.

That isn't a mis-print.

I did see it, but I rarely download anything large overnight, but that will come handy someday.
