Some Brits reckon broadband got worse after lockdown – but that's just what happens when you're online 12 hours straight

" it normally hovers around 270 but drops to 90 if the kids and missus is streaming stuff."

Assuming 1 missus and 3 kids that's 45Mbps per stream! Do they each run their own full size cinema with ultra-super-future-proofed-HD multiple screens??

"Annoyingly it ended last month so I've been back to 300Mbps"

What a whinging douchebag ha ha!! Honestly it's like a piddling competition for some people who I assume are lacking in other areas. Anything over 40Mbps is a luxury and mostly pointless. This "need for speed" is why the more rural areas are lacking in services while the cities are being flooded with pointless bandwidth.
