Sure their website is a bit old fashioned, but I dont agree they would have any more bandwith issues than other online brokers during moass.
CS for some reason dont mention their big clients on their "clients" page, but they are the transfer agent for huge companies like Apple. They arent a backyard company that will be running out of bandwith.

I have a handful spread across a few different brokers of course. But the vast majority of them are in the safest possible place in existence... the transfer agent CS.
End of the day, possible bandwith issues can be quickly overcome by CS adding more bandwith (and moass will take weeks to unwind...just keep trying to login, have different devices setup to login etc). What cant be overcome easily will be issues like brokers disabling access to accounts, or selling your shares without consent etc. And those issues have already happened.
Good luck solving those legal issues within 10 years. I fully expect most brokers to do dodgy stuff which is why Ive only left small amounts in a few brokers. Small enough amounts that I wont worry too much if it all disappears from fuckery (but those few will still give me an entry ticket to any future lawsuits).
You can always call CS up for selling also.
