Re: Deliberate Limited Bandwidth 4pm to 12am ET

Couple things:

1) I have never seen my advanced page say that my "Flow Control" was ON. So not sure if the systematic degradation in my performance is technically "flow control." Probably a matter of semantics. But I do understand the model you are setting forth.

2) In Jan, I had a few days of sub-100kbps. Like three days straight. Escalated it, and the problem got better.

3) Sometime later in January the 4-midnight thing seemed to kick in.

4) My experience with degradation of service has always been a steady decrease. I have never not been able to get on. And I thought that the "burst-able" nature of network (if that is the right phrase) meant that everyone suffered when a transponder got very active. Hence the need for a FAP policy. Point being: I never experienced this poor performance during peak times.

My plan is to collected data on a few more days of throttle times, and call Executive Customer Care. Maybe it will all be for naught, but given #2 above, I am hoping that this problem will get better. What can I say: I am an optimist!
