Why it is slower in the evening
From 8 to 11 pm, routes from China abroad are most congested; packet loss rises and speed drops noticeably.

Rush hour on the motorway: same road, more cars, more traffic jams.
In this setup
This is a route problem, not a configuration problem; the server's own bandwidth is usually far more than enough. BBR congestion control is on and helps somewhat. If peak hours matter a lot to you, choose a plan with a better route.
Common misconceptions
- "Slow means I'm being throttled": most of the time it is congestion — test again at another time.
Try it: Run and read a speed test
