I have a bit of an issue that I'm pretty sure you guys would know a lot about.

My internet connection (Normally 60+ Mb/s Download, 5+ Mb/s Upload) will ALWAYS, like clockwork, start cutting in and out at night around midnight.

It starts by going super slow, spiking back up to normal, and then cutting out for a half second.

Then, it will reconnect, but be slow as crap for a bit, spike back to normal, and then slowly drop back down to nothing.

This happens EVERY night. On the fucking dot at midnight.

Do you guys have any ideas as to what might be causing this? Someone with a super seedbox going at night in my area?

Few facts that may help:

>Technicians from my ISP are over here almost weekly
>So far, they have replaced EVERYTHING in my house
>That mean every cable under my house, running to me from the road, and my modem are brand new.
>Also just replaced my router two nights ago with a pretty good one.
>This is still happening.

Seriously, any ideas?

Holy shit, son. What kind of shit ISP do you have?

If it was happening all the time, I would say it's interference on the line, but for it to only happen at specific times sounds like they're throttling you. (Which doesn't really make sense, because if they were, they'd be doing it ALL the time, not just after midnight.)
>>
>>57579729
This actually does look a LOT like throttling. Like, this is the spitting image of it.
>>
>>57579729
>>57579746
OP here

Alright, then I have a question.

Is it possible to be throttled by anything other than your ISP?

I've specificlly asked a good friend of mine that works at one of their call centers. He said they only throttle people that transfer an exorbitant amount of data per month. (Like, over 1TB)

Well... this is new.

The test is stuck here. It's just counting down by 0.01 each second. Test won't complete, but it won't end either. It's seriously just dropping by 0.01 every second.
>>
>>57580722
>That sharp as fuck drop for less than 0.01 seconds that just seems to come out of fucking nowhere.

Ok. This just got interesting. Literally nothing in the world could fucking cause what you're experiencing unless there was some super illegal shit going down in your area.

Like, I'm talking multiple homes stealing signal.

But... your ISP would see this happening.

>>57580732
>Signal going in and out VERY rapidly

>>57580742
>Signal stopping for minutes at a time

Alright... there's something going down.

Here's what I think is happening:

First, there could be something going on with the node that supplies your area. This is unlikely, because other people would be reporting that by now and things would be solved WAY before two years of complaints came in.

Second, there, again, could be some illegal shit going down. But, again, it wouldn't be happening for two fucking years. Just doesn't make sense. Your ISP would have found out by now.

Is this only affecting you specificlly? Anyone else in your area complaining?

Possible, but unlikely.

After me calling in so much, I actually got to talk to a superviser. He put my node on a 24-hour watch list and had some techs take a look at it. Everything seems fine, according to them.

>Is this only affecting you specificlly
Yes.

According to the techs I talk to, my Modem will be offline while both of my neighbors will be online and running perfectly fine.

I was kinda hoping it was that simple.

"Hey, ISP guys, it looks like someone's stealing shit."

"Oh, well look at that. We'll handle it."

Nothing in life can ever be simple.

If it happens at midnight it's probably DHCP issues. Are you on a dynamic or static IP address?

Would it help if I changed this? This is my router settings.

OP here

Called my ISP's help line at 3-fucking-AM.

IT'S BEEN THE FUCKING ROUTER THE WHOLE TIME.

I never thought to plug directly into my modem. That solved everything.

He also told me what the problem with my router might be. Something to do with the channel being set to Auto. He had me switch it over to 11 - 2.462GHz.

While download speed is still slow, It's fucking STABLE. (And the upload speed is perfect!)

Any ideas on how to fix the download speed? I'm on hold with linksys right now.

Please understand. I've had this problem for TWO YEARS.

Please. Please. PLEASE tell me how to fix it.
>>
>>57581754
wait so what's actually the problem now?
>>
>>57581778
Download speed is slow while upload speed is good.

See here:
>>57581663

I'm supposed to have 60MB/s Download.
>>
>>57581791
Ever considered that an ISP's "up to 60mb" claim is really "up to" debate?
>>
>>57581914
Nope, because I test at 60+MB/s when I test when plugged directly into the modem.
>>
>>57581922
so the down speed you're looking it is basically just wifi being shit?
try kill the mixed network mode.

Can confirm.

Working perfectly now.

Two fucking years, $170 dollars, and a lot of headaches. It was the fucking router the whole time...
