[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.

Re: [IA] Des Moines really slow speeds

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!!

Re: [IA] Des Moines really slow speeds

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

Short burst of speed (downstream) that is only available to VIP subs.

Good for about 15 sec or so. You get whatever bandwidth is available but after that it goes down to 10/1 connection. Not complaining though, more than enough for me.

Re: [IA] Des Moines really slow speeds

No problem but look at the time stamp's (between 11am and 3pm...not a peek time) so there could be some down utilization at night. I would PM Bainch your mac and have him take a look

At night I get about 12 Mbit down, so no complaints from me.
