Failed to connect to instance, Predictable

Every night for the past few nights at around the exact same time (23:30) I am met with a disconnect, the process of events is as follows;

- Game disconnects me landing me to login screen,
- I can log in, select character, press play,
- I am met with a long loading screen then the process repeats.

This happens and it gradually fixes itself over the next 30 minutes and I don't have any disconnect/errors until the next night at the same time.

Everything else on my connection and devices works fine, I can watch Youtube videos, stream Netflix, listen to Spotify, browse steam, run speed tests, nothing else is affected.

My winMTR returns normal params, 0% loss on reaching sending/receiving, Path of Exile logs show nothing abnormal;

There is a small thread on Reddit where we have found the issue commonality is with Virgin Media customers in the UK but I have been in contact with them and they state there is no abnormal activity on their end causing this issue and that this is a "game service provider issue"
