Extremely Slow Internet At Peak Hours

Usually during the evening and especially weekend evenings, speeds will drop to anywhere from 3 to even 0.5 Mbps, and we are paying for 800 Mbps! I'm wondering if others are having similar issues, because it seems like Xfinity's network can no longer handle the congestion, and I wonder if something can be or will be done about it.

Hey there, @user_vxljm8 thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding your internet connection issue. I definitely want to help with ensuring your speeds are working properly! I know my household enjoys streaming and gaming on the weekend evenings. Are you getting the right speeds besides the evenings? How are your devices primarily connected, wirelessly or hardwired with an Ethernet cable?

Same issue, I'm paying for 1000MB but gets painfully slow every night around 7 pm PST. I'm not even streaming and the app barely works. Is this really just congestion?

Xfinity was able to fix the issue for us after sending a tech out to confirm the congestion. They scheduled a day for some downtime to work on the Internet around our area.
