This is silly, the internet at night is slow simply because there are too many people are using it at the same time. Bandwidth is not limitless, and they are shared for the same neighborhood.

Also, having a 100Mbps internet plan doesn't mean you will be guaranteed to have 100Mbps download/upload all the time. There are reason why in VN companies like netnam and cms are selling 50Mbps leased line for 1000+ dollars.

Higher traffic might take speeds from 100mpbs to 70mpbs. Not 100mpbs to kpbs.

You will get 70mbps for accessing domestic websites. Again, this is just bandwidth issue.

Try to download some highly seeded torrents at the "throttled hours" to see for yourself.
