Have you check the speed of your internet, and observe its running from morning, and night? I did notice my internet connection is faster in the morning time usually, on average. It is slower at night time. Is it because more people using DSL at night time around my community, that is why slow it down? I have DSL connection with AT&T.

i have the same problem with you. i assume that in the morning few people surf the internet while at night many people get online . internet connection is just like a highway, the more cars there are ,the slower you'll drive.the internet is crowded at night time ,just like a traffic jam.

It is the other way for me, In the night it becomes super fast, because lee number of users, and in the day its speed varies.

You are right more people using DSL at night time around your community. We experience fast at night and at morning is very slow. I think your internet plan or many user in your area makes it slower. I think you have to check your neighbor connection and ask their connection sp that you can have definite idea.

I have DSL connection too but I guess it depends upon the area. In our area, it's the other way around. More people access the Internet in the morning and afternoon, maybe because they can only access it when they are working or they don't have a computer and Internet connection at home. At night, the speed is really fast and I could download a 2GB torrent in just 3 hours.

Here is different. The speedy of internet connection is slower in the afternoon.
At night is a little better, must be because some people got out of the work and some of the business is closing, so I think that the network is a little less used.
But morning is really a good hour to use the internet. The speedy is better. From the 1 am to 8 am the internet speedy here works very nice.

there are instances when my connection is really slow. i am from the philippines and based on my observation, and location, as well as my provider, the slow connection occurs in the morning, probably around 9am and in the evenings, starting at 8pm. it will gather speed again at around 10pm onwards

I used to have DSL had had the same problem. It was always faster in the morning and slower at night because more people were on it at night. I do have to say it depends on what you call "night". For me I found that it got faster later into the night. But between like 6-11 it was normally slow.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think it is what you have said that makes the wirespeed so slow in the night. Because epople all over the worls may get into night almost in the night,when the people can be the most. With so many people surf the net, so that we must enjoy the slow speed of the net.

I believe you. I did check my internet connection at 10 pm and it is only 200 kbps whereas yesterday morning at around 5 am when I checked it, it was 1.68 mbps!
I think internet connection is faster around 12mn to morning, when almost everybody is asleep.
