I'm in Phoenix and since saturday I've been experiencing MAJOR slowdown starting at 6pm and ending at 10pm (peak hours I suppose).  Before and after these times my speed is normal.  What could be causing this to happen?

That is a job for tomorrow  ;).  I'll post the results of my conversation with them after it takes place.

Sorry it took so long for a reply but lets just say they got the job done.

Apparently I had multiple modems registered with them and it was somehow causing some confusion in the server and he also put in a new splitter outside just in case.

I knew it was too good to be true  Tonight my speed took a HUGE drop again:

Guess they'll be making another trip to my house
