Choppy connection during evening hour

During evening hours, from 6-11 ish. My internet connection is very choppy. I will go to a website and there is a very good chance that browser cannot reach server and return a server not found or takes 15 or 20 second to establish connection. Once browser reach server, loading is quick but it takes way too long for that to happen. I have 50 Mbps plan and I should not have to wait 15 seconds for the browser to find the website. Also, even though my plan is 50 Mbps, every single speed test I have ever done has always being under 50 Mbps bandwidth, often between 45 and 48. **bleep** Verizon????

Have you tried changing your DNS Servers to something such as Google DNS or OpenDNS?

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Google DNS

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 are OpenDNS.

If it's still choppy, are you by chance browsing over Wireless?

These are probably the two most common issues, and it's best to rule these out first.
