Same again tonight except this time I am only getting over 1MB on my 10MB Uncapped account. Same thing every night and every time I get told they will recreate my port and escalate this. It's been 2 weeks now. How much higher must this be escalated?

Updating since I have resolved this myself, perhaps others can benefit: I had CW recreate an account for me over live chat - fixed immediately.

I am still experiencing the slow slowdowns - even on fibre.
I kicked off a large download at 17:00 sharp and at 17:15 to 17:30 the speed dropped from 12MB/s to around 4-6 MB/s. Speed picked up again around 22:00.
So while this does not impact gaming (pings were 100% A-OKAY) or streaming (since 40mbs is perfect for 4k if you're so inclined), purely downloading will be impacted. This is on OpenServe fibre.
This is in line to the fault logged by CW on the 19th of May. I'll give it the full 2 weeks for them to upgrade their core network tech to solve this.

Nope. There have been some changes / issues with the news server recently, that's all. This is the first time that I have had anything like this happen on CW (as opposed to twice a week at Openweb.)
