Could be either the slow down at night or the Vent host is having issues. I usually find after 4pm'ish the speedtest download speeds deteriorate to the point where I too cannot play CA, which could also affect your Vent depending on host location.

I'm guessing the cause of the slowing is that Orcon can't supply enough bandwidth to everyone once school/work finishes and a few thousand people come online, but its usually fast again in the morning with CA playable and Vent usable.
