wierd ISP problem, comcast is gay.

[gegam]

hi guys. i have a problem

i have a very pc, x800xtpe pcix and then rest,

my internet from 8pm to 12am PST. is very very very slow

when it is not these times, i download at 700K/s which is very fast for me.
i know i have a fast connection but, everytime its 8pm-12am it slows down


i ping yahoo.com 40ms, and when its the 8pm i start to ping 170 and above

the problem goes away once its in the whee hours of the morning.

it fixes itself, i cant play games, ping is to high, to much lagg, to much spikes


stupid comcast only sends technicians during the working hours, 9-5, the problem is at 8pm. how do i get these asshole to believe me, that hte problem is not my fault its theirs.

ive tried everything, i have a router, the problem still persists, i disconnect, and use the direct line, and i still have the problem

RIGHT NOW i have the problem its 9:30 pst.

i have NOD32 anti virus protections and WINDOWS xp pro. why does this problem come every day at 8pm and go away the next day and come back again at 8pm. how do i fix this shit? any ideas?

Maybe they do that automatically to save bandwidth? Otherwise see if they will come out and check your box. Give em a call and Complain.

I know I had issues with my cable and it only happend during the fall or winter and it was caused by moisture in the ground. Ping would go really high. Although it didn't happen everyday at the exact same time. :\

only realistic thing to do is switch ISP.

thanks for the reply.

my problem is 8pm-12am, every day, 2 hours before 8pm im doing fine, and when its 8pm, everything starts to slow down. right now i ping yahoo.com 205ms. tomorrow at noon, it will be 40ms.

i suspect its because of peak hours, but comcast says that should not matter, yet they dont know how to fix it,

comcast tech comes down from 9am-5pm, my problem is at 8pm-12am. he comes down, sees no problem and leaves. this is just stupid, 3 times they came already, and problem still persists for weeks now.

Yeah I'd think about switching if you can.

isnt cable shared over all users as in bandwidth so when everyone is using it at once it will slow down

Yes. If the area has a lot of users that that is an issue. If they are smart and make the sections that share bandwidth smaller then it should go away. But that also costs them more money to lay the cable.
