A lot can happen in 2 years!

My original direction of discussion was really around how these events (major sporting event, major news event, game release, etc)  can affect a 900 service. I recall from J0hn? that BTo SLA on a 900 service is only ~100Mb/s down and each ISP offers their own 'guarantee' for the speed ( I dont have the exact post to hand). I would expect that the 900 service would drop more significantly as a % of headline speed than a 100 service when these events happen. Some ISPs will cater better for these events with CDN on their network, others wont.

I think the PON is the main driver behind the 110Mbps on FTTP from Openreach, and it's hard to see how the PONs would get saturated currently from such a TV event.
Even if there were 30 households on a PON, 2 screens per house, generously 20mbit/stream - =40mbit * 30 = 1200, still enough room for at least one full rate speedtest.
I think there is more likely to be an issue upstream.

I'm sure you get what you pay for with the AAISP connection, though being on new gateway HW which is in development still is a little "exciting".

I was about 18 months early!
