Hi, so I upgraded to fibre around 1-2 months ago and at first everything was good, very fast downloads. However, starting this Saturday my internet will randomly have moments were it goes to 300 kb/s and ridiculously high ping compared to last week were I was getting a minimum of 1mb/s download at all times.Honestly at the moment I'm clueless I have tried all the basic stuff e.g. restart hub. I might also mention that these are wireless speeds. Thanks.

Two thoughts that come to mind:

1) someone moved in nearby and is broadcasting on the same channel, causing interference.
how to check - get a spectrum checking utility and see where the least-used channel for wireless is, or look for other wifi signals, if there's a lot, you might be getting interference.
how to solve - find a quiet channel.

2) you hit a bandwidth cap with your ISP, only way to fix this is to contact the ISP, and that may not be fixable.
