1 edit | [IA] Des Moines really slow speeds The past couple weeks I have noticed that around 8 pm-12 am the speeds lately have been horrible. Signal levels are fine throughout however the speed falls on its face. During the day I normally am getting 18+ down and 1.8+ up, tested it now and I am showing
It should be noted that I normally see 20-30 ms ping to that site as well. Pings are slow to other sites as well and increase significantly. |

| I live in Cedar Rapids and am having the exact same problem! This really sucks for me because I do most of my gaming time at night around 8-9. I compete in a league called cevo and the 120+ ping in games doesnt help, when during the day in a chicago server it is 30. Need this solved quick so that I can game again!!

| Yeah I tried playing some L4D a bit earlier and my ping no matter what server I was on were around 130, which isn't normal - sounds like a major capacity issue. |

I thought it was just me with this problem, seems to be pretty serious with so many posting here. Hope that they can get this done soon |

I have been noticing issues in the evening also. Havent done a speed test but I will tonight if it starts acting up. I normally get about 16mbs down and 2 or 3 mbs up. |

You get whatever bandwidth is available but after that it goes down to 10/1 connection. Not complaining though, more than enough for me. |
