My ISP is very good as par billing and connection issues. Neither I get disconnected suddenly nor I get any technical errors, and they are very professional in billing too. Thats why I love my provider very much. The only problem with them is, I face slow connectivity mostly from 10 AM to 8 PM..., besides that from 1 AM to 8 AM its superfast like rocket. I do not know too much about the technicality involved in this but it is my experience. I am too curious to know about your experience too. Do you face slow connectivity on daytime or the speed is constant all the time you connect to Internet?

Your slow connectivity during the daytime is most likely because there are many business users on your network. The more people who are using your ISP at any particular time, the slower it will be. Imagine your ISP as a gateway through which you access the Internet. It can only cope with a certain amount of traffic (data flowing backwards and forwards) at any one time and so, at busy times, when much more data is being sent and received, it will be slower.

Hi, Owlwings, Thank you for your response. I have heard that the situation is good for wireline. Unfortunately I have preferred to choose a wireless connection. The speed is really half or less than the maximum speed they provide in case I connect on daytime. I am absolutely sure that they definitely give priority to the corporate connections. Anyways, nowadays mostly I am connecting to the net on night times. It is not at all frustrating because the speed is as good as they promised. Thank you for your suggestion, I have checked my speed with the speedchecker sites, great results at night times only.
