Slow internet at night EVERY NIGHT

I pay for 50/50 and at night time every single night I get about 5 down and 20-50 up. This is not acceptable. Judging by the thousands of results I see when searching google for this problem, it is not a problem at my house. I need this problem fixed now. The speed is so pathetic I am unable to stream the WWE event tonight.

Works just fine for me. Not sure why others have an issue. But I don't see it:

I have mentioned before that I am part of an Internet monitoring program and The lowest I saw was 28M one night in the past month. Amost always near or above the 50Mb I am supposed to get.

I am having the same problem.  I am paying for 50MB/sec internet speed.  During the day all is well but every night around 8:30 my download speed drops to about 13 MB/Sec.    My upload step stays high.  I am tired of running the optimizer and doing the same test every time I call Tech Support.  In 5 min I found that this is a common problem.    You would think that Verizon would have a knowledge data base with information on this issue.  I have no idea how to fix the problem.  I think I will leave Verizon as soon as my commitment ends.

Where do you see your Internet speed drop?

Are you wired or wireless?

If wireless, do you see the same issue via wired?

If already wired do the following:

When speeds are slow, run test at speedtest.verizon.net.

That is a server within the Verizon network.

If that shows you get your contracted speed, then it is probably network congestion that others have noticed.

If you don't get the contracted speed, then contact Verizon support.

Would be best to run the test at another time and show that you can get the speed properly at other times to prove it is not your PC that has the problem.

Thank you for your help

Where do you see your Internet speed drop? - I live in Northern Virginia. The problem occurs with on every computer in the house.   It is not a problem with the computer settings or the router because the internet speed is good all day until about 8:30 pm. It slows down every night.

Are you wired or wireless? The computers are wired

If wireless, do you see the same issue via wired? N/A

If already wired do the following:

When speeds are slow, run test at speedtest.verizon.net.

That is a server within the Verizon network. Done The download speed drops to about 12 Mbps. The upload speed remains above 50 Mbps

If that shows you get your contracted speed, then it is probably network congestion that others have noticed.

If you don't get the contracted speed, then contact Verizon support. How?

Would be best to run the test at another time and show that you can get the speed properly at other times to prove it is not your PC that has the problem. I run the test on http://my.verizon.com/services/speedtest/ during the day and the speed is over 50 Mbps

If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Verizon is not delivering what they guarantied they would deliver. I have a 2 year commitment and I just bought on of their router. I do not know what I can do .

Any help would be appreciated

Steve, I'm in the NOVA area myself (Fredericksburg) and I monitor my connection regularly.  WIth that said, I've never seen a drop that substantial in 4+ years of FiOS in this particular area.  If anything, I see the exact opposite.  I'll usually get well over my provisioned download and upload speed, but at times it may drop down to just above my provisioned amount.

Out of curiosity, what ping times are you getting to your first hop when you test?  I'd say you need to look into that as well.  I used to get around 8 to 12 milliseconds using a coaxial connection from the ONT to the router.  I currently get between 0 to 4 milliseconds with my newer ONT using an Ethernet connection from ONT to the router.  If you are getting ridiculously high ping times, it will effect your throughput.
