Now I have an RCN tech coming out this Sat to check everything out because the person I spoke to on the phone wants them to check my hardware.

1/21/13
67Mb/down at 10:40AM.
37Mb/down at 3:00PM.

1/22
77Mb/down at 6:45AM
76Mb/down at 7:15AM
41Mb/down at 5:00pm

I canceled my tech appointment because it is obviously not my hardware inside the house that is the issue.

this is so weird.. I just checked my speed on the xfinity speedtest website and i am getting 70mbps at 5:45 pm.. why is it that my speeds are high on that website, but not on speedtest.net or the rcn speedtest site?

I'm having the same issue, and customer service scheduled a tech. But could see my levels were good. 25M late late (2-4AM ), but last evening it was 0.71M and drop packets everywhere.

Should I just cancel the tech? This is clearly not my equipment if it works off peak times.

Is there any status on RCN engineering or do we need to seek credits?

try doing a speedtest early in the morning when you wake up. I just did another one at 7:15am and got 76.8Mb/s down.
when i get home it will be horrible no doubt.
