Re: Nightly Slowdown

Yep, same here. For the past year, I've had some sort of slowdown, pings would go from 50m/s to 60-90m/s in the evenings, but since the week before Christmas every night it now goes up over 200 m/s. The odd thing is how fast the slowdown occurs, normally it's not a gradual thing, but within 10 minutes it goes from normal to 200 m/s, and then right after 10pm CST, it quickly drops back to normal.

Even since I've upgraded from 1.5 mb to 6mb, we get the same problem. Lately the latency has gotten so bad, I lose sync 4-5 times a night.

But, I've just learned to live with it, after dealing with centurytel's tech support 6-8 times last year about the problem, nothing has been done and I'm tired of calling them up going over the same thing over and over and over.

BTW, off-topic, chd176, do you visit Talkweather?
