Throttles Netflix traffic on Capped Fibre

At the time of writing, I am on a 150GB 10Mbps fibre package with Webafrica. Most evenings, I am unable to watch a single Netflix episode, because of the constant buffering at even the lowest quality streams. Ookla Speedtest.net shows a healthy >9Mbps line speed, while Netflix's own speedtest shows 150Kbps.

I have contacted support and so far have had 3 completely useless interactions with sometimes a week turnaround between answers. Support sincerely apologises every time, and suggests things like it may be my wifi network, while happily behind the scenes they are just ****ing Netflix traffic...

Other Webafrica users have also encountered the same problems, so this is NOT just an isolated case.
