Anyone else's 5G Broadband on Three take a hit in the evening?

Seems at about 8pm until about 11pm my Three 5G Broadband drops speed significantly from 250Mbps to well under 100Mbps.

Is this normal for that much of a drop?

There's definitely something screwy going on. A lot of traffic deprioritisation.

Peak time for streaming films and such, more people doing it then we think, I guess.
Possibly?
Not seen speeds like this for a little while and it is early Sunday.

Can this be accounted for by backhaul congestion from people streaming and uploading when they are at home? This could probably be checked by switching to 4G and seeing the same.

I'm on 4G EE and a factor of 2 is pretty common between non-congested and congested (30 Mbps to 50 Mbps, vs 100 Mbps). I was previously using 4G Three for 24 months and that was sub 1 Mbps vs 30 Mbps so factor of 30 from congested to non-congested.
