[Speed Issues] Slow speeds/high latency at night (WI)

Curious if this is a problem many have around here... I'm assuming it's nodes or whatnot being overloaded as seems to be a common issue with Charter and US ISPs in general...

Around 6-10pm basically every night my ping to game servers in places like Chicago and Texas become as high as 300-400. It's not 100% consistently that high, often just very rapid spikes, going up from 60 or so up to the 400 and back several times a minute. A lot of times (but I don't notice it every time) my speeds in general drop, too. I was getting about 100 kb/s only a half hour ago while trying to download things and was unable to even watch any sorts of videos in my browser.

It's really frustrating given I work around 6am-2:30, then get home and can't utilize my internet more than a few hours before it completely goes to crap until I go to sleep.

Couple traces I did to a Chicago server (for Counterstrike: Global Offensive)...

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong indicated in that particular trace, which appears to be to a server in Chicago? Maybe try again when the actual problem is happening, or maybe the actual problem isn't a routing issue.
