You say for about 5 hours at a time .....

The most obvious thing that comes to mind is that the shared component of the link is heavily loaded at that time.

Yet you say that the most demanding of the speed tests work fine when the games don't.

So it could be that the bottleneck is at the games server end. It could be anything. If mail downloads and web sites come up quickly, it's not your line that's got a problem But I think you knew that.

As for the speed tests - there are plenty of articles here about that.
