£17 a month unlimited data one with the B535, will wait till the first month is over then see if it gets better.

Its very odd,best thing is the BT line and Broadband is switched off today.

Have you tried the sim in a regular mobile phone to see if you get the same issue?

What I did is get timer plug and set to turn during the night (when you sleep normally) so it turn it off and on again. I set it to go off at 04:30 till 05:00, So program is on at 05:00 and off at 04:30.
This seam to fix the problems I was having.

Amazon - EXPOWER Timer Plug Socket, Expower Digital Electrical Timer Plug Socket 24 Hours/7 Day Weekly Programmable Light Switch with Anti-Theft Random Option (2 Pack)

PS I don't recommend this, this is show as example of what going on about. My one is not on sale anymore.

Not sure if that will help as the OP has already done a factory reset of the router and it hasn't resolved it.

It does sound like some sort of throttling or AUP on 3 but I had thought there were people that had download a lot more without issue.

To be clear, are you saying you solved the dropout issue on a B535 by restarting it each day?

Have you checked the Network Status Page on Three Website (green band). It's possible they are updating / doing something with the network. For about a week whilst they were updating network my service was poor.

Last night was super poor for me, but it actually turned out to be WiFi channel. Changed to channel 1 from channel 11 and it cured the lag, and slowness to load anything.

Happened with me once before. There were no network upgrades happening to my knowledge. Simply waited it out a day or 2, can't remember how long it done it for. Then again, i was messing around with band selection, so that may have sorted my issue out temporary while it was sorted.
