Severe slowdowns and lag after 2am CT

I had noticed that my T Mobile home internet slows down after midnight, then it would disconnect, reconnect and everything was fine.  Fast forward to today and my speed drop to 8Mbps download and zero upload.  I tried calling customer service and they said to reboot, reboot, and you know, reboot the modem.

After a short amount of time with customer support my modem speeds increased to 56.52 download and 9.86 upload.  The latency is 275 down and 517 up.  Prior to 2am today my speeds were 225.57 down and 8.07 up with a latency of 192 down and 492 up.

The support rep on the phone said that 56 down is acceptable but I disagree as I was having 225 down prior to 2am this morning.

Is anyone else seeing a significant decrease in speeds and latency after midnight?

  • Yes, I experience severe slowdowns and drops around and after midnight. It's been frustrating. I get 4 bars all day long with speeds of 200+ mbps. I haven't found a rational explanation for this.

    Your experience appears to be exactly the same as mine.  This morning the modem auto rebooted at exactly 3:15am central time.  Obviously this kicks me off the internet.  I work in IT.  If I am compiling a program and I lose connection to the internet there is a good chance the program will be corrupted.  My T Mobile home internet use to be extremely stable with download speeds of 200+.  I still get the good download speeds until after midnight then everything slows down to download speeds of 57 or less with a significant increase in ping and latency.

    Closing this post as it was derailed from the very beginning.  I never posted my daytime speed.  Here it is.  This is my speed until 2am.
