It could also be that someone else in your neighbourhood uses his line a lot. You probably share the 20 mbps line with others.

Or maybe some cables or other installations are damaged for any reason.
No it's not FUP.

The technician came around and was baffled by it as well. Then gave some techno babble and said all was fine.

Will try another company.
