Has anyone noticed their BB100 connection getting absolutely crushed - every night, without fail between roughly 7PM-12AMish.

My test speeds plummet from the standard (75-100Mbps) to 5-8Mbps. With this sort of consistency, is it just congestion? Or are they limiting things?
With Shaw too but I'm not in Calgary but in a semi rural area and my speeds drop from around 3pm to 12 AM also. Mine goes from 25Mbps to around 2Mbps which means watching hockey or utube is almost impossible. I've been complaining for 2 years and all they say is they are upgrading. I managed to get the introductory price (1/2 price) for the next six months to keep me quiet, which softens the blow but it's frustrating.

I think it's kids come home and start downloading and gaming but Shaw says there doesn't appear to be any extra load on my line.
