My Internet always slow at specific time (4PM-6PM)

Do you have Broadband? Commonly, cable networks get lagged up a bit during peak hours. This will not happen with DSL/Fiber services, however DSL can be slower. It can be tough to do much about this, but there are a few things I can suggest. - Reboot your router when it starts to slow down. You want to unplug it for a full 2 minutes, and let it cool down a bit too. It doesn't hurt to unplug it every once in a while for a few hours. - Wire in your devices. One issue may be signals interfering with your WiFi. 4G phones, cordless phones, metal in your walls, nearby power stations/cell towers, and even your neighbor's WiFi can affect yours. In addition to wiring in devices, try this next trick: - For wireless connections, try this fun trick. If you have an Android/iPhone, download "WiFi Analyzer". This app will allow you to examine other nearby wireless networks and signals, and see which wireless channel give you the best results. I hope this all helps!

maybe by this time, the network traffic in your area is heavy, which mean, many computer users in your place user the Internet at that time. try to contact your service provider if this is not applicable as a reason. however that is the only reason i think if there is only a certain time that your INTERNET connection is slow. sometimes, having a slow connection actually depend on your location, for example if you subscribe to a connection which is 2mbps, it actually denotes the maximum speed it can have not the normal speed that your connection will have.

May be at that time may people are online or the you visit has many people online at that time the problem is common we can also see it here at mylot on weekends sometimes mylot becomes slow when we have lots of mylotter posting a lot

Ya.., I also facing this problem. I also started the similar discussion on myLot. Some friends answered. Link is given below.:- http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2635227.aspx See this. You can get different answers from it. Thank you.

well i think you are also from India and in India the internet problem is very common.and the time you are telling is the prime time when the uses of internet becomes more and here networks are not able to handle this quantity of loads that is why this time you are facing this problem.try to change your internet provider may be this could help you in any way.

i think you are also from india. As in india. All people start working internet specially on 4-6 pm only. As it is a time for using internet by students, public and everyone. So, our internet speeds gets slow due to heavy load. try using midnight or morning. it will give better speed.

I think internet is slow at 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. because most people use internet at this time. Also I think the traffic of the websites might be high during this time. I think when the traffic is high the internet will be slow. Also I think when lots of users login at a particular time the internet becomes slow.

i think that it could because of the higher volume of internet traffic. i know its the same here too.

If there are a lot of users on the internet at one time it can make it slow down depending on what site you are on. Some sites are so slow at times that I just cant even go on them until later because I cant get anything done. I have cable internet. It was even worse when I had dial up.

The problem in that time with your internet was the peak period where many users that being online with your ISP...that what they called traffic

YEah, my INTERNET can be slow sometimes too- especially when it is almost noon and in the afternoon- at 2-5 pm.. Maybe it's because lots of people use INTERNET at those times, not really sure why.

That is also our problem here.Mostly that time so slow that i cant post my response so i will stop it.............Maybe that time almost allpeople are using net ..................

that is weird because me and my husband were just talking about that the other day. i thought that for some reason we could not b on 2 computers which is weird since we have wi fi and that should not be a problem. it ia actually about 5:00 until about 9:00 and even when he gets off his computer it doesnt sem to work better. sometimes i even have to leave the room to make it work a tiny bit better.

hmmm.. maybe its from internet service provider.. Stay calm and try to restart your computer :)

I think it may be the time most people are online in the internet or when the internet users use the websites or in other words when the traffic is high for a particular websites. When the traffic is high the internet can be slow. I think you should try to check speed of the internet at different times and may be talk with your provider, which might help in identifying the problem with the internet speed.
