Re: [Speed] Apartment Complex Slow at Nights? 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. |

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.
