decreased internet speeds
Every evening from 6 to 11 PM my 800Mbps plan speeds decrease by approx 35%. Generally they vary around 500 Mbps but can go to 90 Mbps. Its an ethernet connection to an Arris g34 gateway. Downstream power levels range from 6 to 10, upstream from 36 to 39 and SNR is 38. If this is traffic related shouldn't there be an equipment upgrade ?

FWIW. These are our in-house forum's signal spec ranges. I have found these to be the most accurate !

Yes. This may be being caused by a peak usage time capacity / traffic congestion problem on your local cable segment / node. If so, there is not much that you can do about it except to complain to them persistently and to get your immediate neighbors to join in. The more neighbors that complain, the more effective it will be. Good luck !
