4mbit being shaped during peak hours?

[spr33]

Over the last few nights, I've noticed that I've been limited to 2mbit during the hours of around 11pm-6am (when I get up for work). I'm not sure what's going on or for exactly how long but it's definitely being shaped/capped to 2mbit for a few hours at night.

I'm in the ST3 area and I'm not a heavy usage user. Anyone else with similar experiences?

Nope its not

Can you supply more detail as to what you are using and where you are downloading from?

Hardware wise, I have the NTL 250 modem along with a Linksys WRT54g running DD-WRT. I've checked to see that I haven't accidentally capped myself by accident in the router config and I've double checked that I haven't in windows (I use netlimiter).

I've tested using speedtesters, regular http downloads, newsgroup downloads, torrent downloads and FTP downloads and all are still capped at 2mbit.
