Re: [Speed] slow in somerville, ma

Boston, MA here and I've also been getting similar speeds to what you posted. Download speed plummets to 12Mbps late afternoon and then 2-3Mbps at night with a 25/2 plan.

I've had this problem before, but it went away. It started back up yesterday or the day before. Was it the same for you?

Tonight I'm about ~10Mpbs.

I hadn't noticed it going away permanently... Just every now and then it drops back into the 3Mpbs range.

Hit 15Mbps tonight - I'd celebrate but after half a year of slow down have no confidence that it'll stay that high. Will check again in an hour.

Let me guess u have a docsis2 modem. Get a docsis3 modem and u will have more consistent speeds.I spent $45 on my own on eBay and get advertised speed even during peak time.

thx for the reply - I'll check out the modem.

I'm seeing almost 22Mbps this afternoon, so definitely looks like a peak usage issue.
