Again same problem and it seems to happen only during the night. I wish somebody could shed some light to this issue.
Thanks! |

I am in St. Louis and having the same problem. My latency is over 175 and it is normally under 25 when running a speed test.
This seems to be happening almost every night.

We have 4 Chicago area DSL lines for work. In the wee hours of 12/15 from about 12:15 am until 1:35am, latency shot up from 12 - 15ms to 100ms and packet loss went to about 50% on all four lines.
My assumption is that some type of work was going on last night. |

I had thought maybe I was seeing the same thing being discussed. I now think there was something local to me.
Inside I could hear some noise on the voice phone. At the NID, no noise. So I checked things out inside.
I think the problem for me was an interior RJ-11 jack I had installed. Working the plug in and out several times seems to have made my problem go away.
So my events are not not some problem shared with others. |

I'm having the issue again tonight. Anyone else with the issue? This is annoying. I leave Comcast for bad service and AT&T is on the same boat. How frustrating can this be. Nobody can help me??? PLEASE! reacttec: run a speed test and tell me your stats. |

I'm not seeing any of the slowness I saw last night. (For comparison information, all 4 lines are static DSL--3 in Will County and one in NW Indiana, but served out of Chicago.)
You say this only happens at night. What is different about your use then? Do you have more than one computer on the DSL account? Any chance there are some that are only turned on at night? An open wireless connection that a neighbor may be using? A tivo that is streaming from the net? |

No other computers, no TIVO, no neighbor stealing wifi. This is very strange and I will definitely consider moving back with Comcast if these issues keep popping up every night. |

Latency is below 20ms and no packet loss. It's just downloading speeds are very slow. On speedtest.net I always get around 5.15 MBps download speeds and during the evenings it drops to 1.5-3.0 MBps. Isn't it weird? |

I'm having speed problems starting as of about two days ago out in the "far Northwest suburbs" (Crystal Lake) of Chicago. I don't know about during the day, since I'm at work, but in the evenings its very slow. Ping is 18 ms and steady without packet loss, but the throughput is just terrible... I'm usually able to hit somewhere between 2 Mbps and 3 Mbps, and I'm instead limited to about a tenth of that (e.g. 0.2 - 0.3 Mbps).
I thought perhaps I was being throttled, but even without any real activity on the connection all day, I still came home this evening to the terrible throughput issue. I rebooted everything and there's no improvement. |

The trouble just started for me today 12/16. Very high latency and download speeds as slow as dialup. Upload speeds are normal though. |
