How do you manage to work during the night? External internet gets throttled so much that trying to load pages like Gitlab take minutes and a simple `git pull` can take 5 minutes. All VPNs stop working and even obscure sites like payment providers and Slack seem to only run at around 5kbps. I'm guessing it's not normal for people to work outside of 9-6?

I honestly don't notice a big difference, plus my self-hosted VPN still works as fast. So I guess a reliable VPN is the answer.
Perhaps my issue is that my VPN is hosted in a common place like DigitalOcean. Maybe a lesser known host is the trick?
