ya but is your connction really running slower or is the speed test connection just maxed out in the evening during peak time, 
its all really silly, is it the broadband thats slowing down or are the content provider running out of bandwith at peak times or is it the internet backbones in Britannia.
if i had to guess, it just the pipes running across the pond to all the good content that are maxing out

..I am sticking with Bulldog 8mbit for as long as I can/ I get full speeds ALL of the time. This is due to NTL's undersold and rather fat pipeline. Being under at first Pipex and then Tiscali's banner has not affected me (Yet). Also rumours are rife that Tiscali may sell to Vodaphone.

Holy shit! I can't believe someone was actually paid, to come up with this report. Maybe I could get a grant to form a report on how driving faster consumes more fuel.

Earth to Cowzilla: it's called irony. "Stating even more of the absolutely bleedin' obvious". Jeez you yanks just don't get it. Look at the headline!

…. and solitary manipulation will make you go blind [physically & intellectually, as to what you are really doing emotionally… ] whilst labelling grandma a superstitious fogie.

it's mathematics - namely queuing theory. In fact network latency calculations and predictions was the area where the whole theory evolved from.

That's why i'm fat :p

Does this phenomenum occur only for DSL (where contention is a huge issue) or are cable users also hit with this reduction in bandwidth?
