Hi everyone,
I have been having an issue where my upload speeds will drop significantly from 30mbps upload, to 1.0mbps or even less. This happens around the same time every night, at 6pm PST. I ...

Hey, I get the same, 6pm m-f things get choppy for awhile. I was thinking it was just the neighborhood coming online, but I live in a rural sb area, so the chances for that may be slim. I have a year old panama, 300/30 unlimited plan. Using wired. I've also noticed a slight increase in latency all the time via my office vpn.
Have not done any investigating yet, other than speedtest, which didn't show anything unusual.
The main thing I want to improve is latency on my work vpn. I think I will be testing a few different modem/routers to see if I can get any improvement. No gigablast option in my neighborhood yet, but I'll still only try newer docsis 3.1 modem/routers.
I don't think a change in modem router will fix the 6pm issue. But if I see any improvement I'll report back.
Good luck
I definitely think its the node in my area. They say it is not congested, but that is complete BS. When you have perfect speeds and then at a certain time (on the dot mind you) it tanks? It has to be the node, because this hasn't happened for weeks and then it starts happening?
Best of luck, please report back so I can get some ideas. Thanks!
- Hello ScupieG,
There is a congestion ticket under investigation in your area, and we have no update on that. The previous technician noted that a signal issue was found and fixed after the lines were swapped. Did the technician discuss any steps with you prior to leaving your last visit? Anything about placing you in ping plotter to monitor things?
