@home Speed Decrease

Post by Wallygator »

Hi I have Comcast @home. I notice that it is much slower now than before the announcement of the agreement for continued temporary service with excite. I know that it depends on the number of people on the network, but it's especially slow in the evening. I never used to notice a slowdown. Anyone else with similiar experience?? Thanks
