Network Upgrades in Chicago?

Just wondering if anybody knew what this was about. It's the second pop up I've seen in the past two weeks. Are there any upgrades taking place on the southwest side of Chicago?

WOW! will be performing maintenance in your area on the morning of October 28th, at 1:00 am local time. During this time, you may experience a loss of internet service for up to 15 minutes.
We apologize for any inconvenience this important work may cause.
Thank You.

I've been experiencing problems in recent weeks as well. I wouldn't say slowdowns, as I still get ~2Mbps downloads, but I see huge spikes in download jitter in the early evening that seem to be wreaking havoc w/ my voip service as of late. I called customer support and they basically said I'm out of luck if I'm still getting my 2Mbps download speed. Is this anything like the problems you're referring to?

00000		 Very noticeable slowdowns during youtube videos, or file downloads. Tried speed tests, that showed I was only getting a fraction of my normal speeds.
