I'm experiencing very heavy shaping on my premium 10Mbps line. During the day downloads generally go at 9Mbps. At night downloads drop to about 1.5Mbps. Getting a sixth of my normal speed at night is terribly poor as I'm on a premium line.
 
Would you look at that, ping just dropped and downloads/uploads resumed.

So Premium Uncapped 4mbit and being shaped at 7:30AM? What's the point of this Premium Uncapped then? It's been like this for a week now. From the morning til late at night. I did 200GB last month, am I considered a heavy user or some rubbish?

When you say downloads drop to 1.5Mbps on your 10Mbps line, are you referring to the download result on a speedtest?

We don't shape Premium based on individual usage. Have you compared your experience against a Capped account while experiencing issues before?
 
So today it seems we are back to normal again, will wait and see how the day goes and switch over to a trail account if it starts up again.
