I read somewhere a few days ago that this might happen, Dongle.
They said same as you, that it is because so many people are at home during the day now.
If that is the case, it could get even worse next week when all the schools are closed too.

For some people I know, the difference in performance between old and new routers was like going from "snail-mail" to "e-mail" .....

Re: Anyone having internet connection problems?
My Orbi Mesh router gave trouble and I've just had to go back to using the Virgin Media router with the wi-fi switched back on in conjunction with a wi-fi extender.I'll be having another go at getting the Orbi working but I've had enough of it for now. Maybe it has just plain gone wrong.

I think you can upgrade at a reduced price or free when upgrading to fibre (The upgrade to fibre worked out cheaper than what I was paying).
''The TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub is available to buy right now, and if you’re an existing TalkTalk customer, or you’re thinking of signing up, the price drops to £30. If you sign up to TalkTalk's Faster Fibre package, then the Wi-Fi Hub is included for free (although there is a £30 setup fee)''.
