Niagara Falls, ON | Cogeco slows to a crawl EVERY sunday night! WHY! Located in the Niagara Region, literally EVERY Sunday night my internet is terrible. I'm on the Cogeco Ultimate 30 package and am seeing speed tests from multiple sites averaging 9-12 mbps. It is a guaranteed thing, EVERY Sunday night, usually later on in the evening come 10pm it literally hits a wall. I've seen users complaining of this in threads going back 2 years.
Why is this continuing? This cannot possibly be due to user/neighbourhood traffic at this time, it doesn't "progressively" get slowly, instantly any downloads I have come crashing from 30mbps down to 10mbps, speed tests from multiple site reveal the problem as well.
I have tested multiple computers, as well as had others I know in my area with Ultimate 30 test for me as well during these times, and they all yield the same results.
What is Cogeco doing on Sunday night that causes such poor performance of it's network and hinders it's customers from obtaining speeds that at any other point throughout the week are not a problem? |

I can compare with friends and family that are also on Ultimate 30 in your neck of the woods. |

Both at my office and home, I get maxed out speeds of 30 Mbps and 50 mbps respectively. Have you tried creating a thread or calling Cogeco for your issue? 1 to 3 Mbps sounds like a serious issue and you could receive credits if you're overpaying for what you're not getting. |

i have every month since it started in January, made a thread nothing happened with it. I call them every month sometimes I get a month free others I get $10 off, the problem is Cogeco over sold our node and is taking their sweet ass time to do anything about it. |

| Update your thread, maybe Marcer can give you a hand too! I've heard he's rather helpful. |
