Sunday Evening, the New Web Rush Hour

Barence writes "For anyone who assumes weekday evenings are the worst time to enter the online scrum, it may be a surprise to learn that the peak internet rush hour, when average web speeds slow to a crawl, is in fact Sunday between 5pm and 6pm. This surprise fact came out of Ofcom's recent research that also told us the blindingly obvious news that actual broadband speeds are less than half of those advertised by the ISPs."

I call bullshit.

Less than half? Get a new ISP. I'm able to max out my cable modem consistently regardless of time of day, day of week, or direction.

Most high bandwidth usage friends are able to do the same.

I won't give them a penny for TV but the cable company in my area has the best net connectivity by far.
