spyderman Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 I have a starter plan and I've recently started doing a lot of work on it. Most of the time, things seems relatively fast, but I've noticed that it tends to be slow at later in the night. The other night I was downloading files through SmartFTP and according to SmartFTP, my download speed was 0.85Kb/Sec. Also, when I upload images through my personal site, it is very slow too. Is it normal for it to be slow at night? Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? Quote
SEO Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 spyderman: What is your Internet connection? Most ISPs see a surge of use (and thus slower speeds) around 8-10pm. Go to toast.net and check your connection speed, compare the speeds when you feel things are 'fast' to when things are 'slow'. My bet is with your ISP. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 You may want to ty a trace to the site as well. I used to work at an ISP and we noticed that some hops (routers) would slow at the same time every day. Often times due to them throttleing down or congestion. Rob www.knifeandblade.com Quote
Head Guru Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 A tracert to your IP address tells me you could be on a cable modem. If this is the case, remeber cable modems share a node. So you will see slow times with your cable modem, it can be the slowest during peak tims. Quote
spyderman Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 Thanks for suggestions everyone, I will try out what you suggested. I'm really impressed with the quick reponse on this forum!! Quote
KevinW Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Spyderman, FYI, I know that with my DSL connection at home, my upload speed (128kb) is slower than my download speed (768kb). You might verify what you signed up for with your Internet connection. -kw Quote
