Surprising that the network is nearing capacity with a third extra traffic. Thought with UFB growing at such a rate it would have a much higher ceiling.

no issues here.
Streaming working just fine and a speedtest shows I am able to utilise my connections full speed 100/20

All ok here

fine here, would you like to provide more details about what your trying to stream.

In regards to that article, there was a call of  duty update last night. depending on device, ranged from 22, 68 or 171GB!

I would ask if you are using a non Spark supplied router and / or non Spark DNS service and have you rebooted your router?

As those three factors are 99.9% are most likely the issue.

no issues here in Auckland on Spark VDSL

Well hindsight is good but at the time it didn't appear to be a problem on my end, spotify simply did not play and youtube had the typical 'experiencing playback issues?' message even after rebooting my browser & modem. I don't know how or what caused it but running fine after reboot may be an obvious first step fault finding for some but like I say hindsight is good.
