Notes
For the speed tier 8/2, this is kind of unacceptable when the internet slows down this much at night. I can easily get a 20mpbs Powerboost during the day, but at night, on Speedtest.net, I can only get 3-4 mpbs if I'm lucky. One of the ShaperProbe tests said that the packetloss was too high? What does this mean? |

kudos:1 | Your signal levels are good and consistent. That does indeed look like a capacity issue to me. The only other possibility to my mind would be some upstream noise problems, but then I wouldn't expect to see such a dramatic and consistent drop in download speeds. |

Unless theres some rouge TV or such thats being turned on at those times and killing it |

Is there anyway Comcast can fix this capacity issue? Anything I can do on my end? |
|
| There's nothing you can do besides get a tech out to verify if it's a noise problem or not. If it's capacity related there are multiple things they can do to address the issue depending on the current setup. Capacity can be relieved by adding more QAMs (which is unlikely), a node or transmitter split which is more likely the solution. |

Why is adding more carriers "unlikely" ? Which would be cheaper for them to do ? |

Why is adding more carriers "unlikely" ? Which would be cheaper for them to do ? Depends completely on the plant setup and condition.
