Peak-hour congestion is real
In many Indian housing societies, 7–11 pm is when every floor streams 4K and kids game at once. Your plan speed is a ceiling; shared last-mile or Wi-Fi airtime can drop throughput far below that ceiling.
Run the MySpeedTest.in homepage test three times: afternoon, 8 pm, and wired Ethernet if you can. If Ethernet stays high but Wi-Fi collapses, the bottleneck is wireless. If both drop, talk to the ISP about peak-hour contention.
What to check before blaming the ISP
Pause cloud backups, switch to 5 GHz, stand near the router, and turn off VPN. Then retest. Bufferbloat on the results page often explains laggy games even when Mbps still looks “okay”.
