Depends on your provider, what you're using and where the slowdown is.
What has "taken a battering"?Contention (people fighting for the download pipe) is gonna be well up - you can get around that by using it overnight instead of during the day (obvs depends what you're doing). Wifi signals will be fighting a bit harder for free space if you've got neighbours - can try changing channels if it's a wifi strength issue. You could try upgrading your connection but if it's using the same pipe, unless your provider offers a priority/shaping solution you'll still be fighting for space. You could also try different connection - ie. if everyone is using the same cable provider in your area, mobile broadband might be underutilised so try a dongle? Put a hammer through every neighbours wifi?

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes;
My internet has taken a complete battering this past week, is this simply down to the fact that the world and his wife are now WFH and this taking up the internet pipes?
Or is there something I can do at home to speed things up?
