Lately I've been having this huge problem with Comcast in my city. In the mornings, I ping google with a time of ~13ms. That's about as good as it has ever been for me. Once it passes noon, it goes to about ~150ms, and in the evenings it is not uncommon for it to be higher than 200. So I did a little test...and here are the results... (BTW, we're supposed to have a 6mb/s download speed)
Morning:
5.3 megabits per second...Awesome
Evening:
260 kilobits per second.....Good Lord....
The weirdest part is this is ONLY for my city. Even the bordering cities are fine. Everyone in my city has this problem though.
I have tried calling 5 different times, and all they can reply with is: "that is what happens during peak hours". 260kb/s is completely inexcusable. Isn't that somehow violating the terms of service? It's really quite annoying having a ping of over 200 in video games these days. What can I do?!
