internet to slow at night and weekends although very good during the day

That sounds like a DSL speed which should not be dependent on other users in your area unlike cable. The internet is busier on nights and weekends so just slower in general depending on which sites you visit.

go for the 29.95 plan on VZ DSL, if you want fast internet like cable... it doesn't slow down, it is da bomb... Plus they are coming out with fiber optics which is cheaper than cable and way faster than anything

Upgrading your connection speed will definitly help.  I went from a dial up connection to 1.5mb and my downloads are, on the average, about 12 minutes faster.

Yup!\n     So many ways...... but depends upon your connection type if from modem then it's always slow.... in Comparision to others.... So varies\n \n-------- HOWEVER ONE THING IS COMMON FOR SLOW PROBLEM THAT INTERNET EXPLORER CACHES VISITED PAGE AND LOADS... THEM SO ALLL THE VISITED PAGES ARE RECORDED.... SO QUITE SLOW.... DUE TO THIS SO DELETE ALL HISTORY... GOING TO TOOLS AND INTERNET OPTIONS FROM INTERNET EXPLORER\n\nTHAT WON'T REMOVE TOTALLY.... SO DELETE IT FROM INTERNET OPTIONS.... FROM CONTROL PANNEL...... SO IF U DO THIS..... THEN IT'LL BE QUITE FAST THEN PREVIOUS ONE!...

Use a proxy server. You can set amount and time. You can also stop access.

Cable internet access is a Co-Op, meaning the more people sharing the same Broadband will slow it down, particular on some websites. \nHave you tried to download late at night?\nAlso, shut down your computer, unplug the power supply to your cable modem & wait 30 seconds. Plug your modem back in, wait a minute for it to rebuild a CACHE, then reboot your computer. Sometimes the CACHE within your modem fails to fully hand-shake with your computer on boot. Your just re-setting your cache, but it does help at times.

You have a bad or congested network connection.

could be your browser or the speed at which your connected, sometimes you lost your signal altogether.

get a broadband connection.  OK if your like me and cant offord broadband than first download mozzila its a browser for the internet that makes things so much faster on dial up or broadband!  Then shut down some things in the system tray that can really slow it down.  Then get more RAM for your computer.  Here is a link for firfox though

no dail up is close to dls or cable modem

dont know why you would want to limit your bandwidth but maybe you should call your ISP(internet service provider)

Here's the following reason for slow transmission speeds.\n\n1) Poor connection between you & the server you're connecting to.  Sometimes a network hub goes down & your connection has to be re-routed on lesser-used hubs as a slower speed.\n\nIf a key network hub (pretty much within 5 hops of your connection, if you're using a router) goes down, it can severely cripple (if not kill) the connection for everybody that uses it.\n\n2) You're connecting during "Internet Rushhour".  Within the US, it's normally from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (which covers the noon hour for the major 4 time zones in the US).  This is when most of the computers are online.\n\n3) Network congestion on the server.  There's just too many people trying to get onto the network at one time or too many users are download from the server.\n\n4) Local network congestion.  This occurs when you're sharing an internet connection with others & a lot of traffic going on locally.  This may be due to a lot of audio / video streams going on while you're doing lower-bandwidth activities (like web-surfing or downloading stuff)\n\n5) Unwanted Network users.  This is possible with unsecured WiFi routers as practically anybody in range will be able to connect to it.  Unwanted users can cause local network congestion, but may be hard to notice since these users can come & go whenever they please.\n\n6) Shared Bandwidth.  If you're on a Satellite or Cable connection, you're sharing bandwidth with others (like your neighbors).  If there's too many people using the same connection at the same time, the connection speed for everybody slows down (this is similar to issue #4).\n\n7) Incorrect Bandwidth Capping.  While this is highly unlikely, it's possible that your ISP incorrectly configured your broadband modem & you're getting stiffed with a slower connection.\n\n============================================\n\nBesides issues #5 & 7, there's nothing much you can do about it.\n\nFor Issue #5, it can be remedied by securing your WiFi router through various ways (WEP / WPA encryption, MAC filtering & disabling SSID broadcasting).\n\nFor Issue #7, you'll probably want to check with your ISP to ensure that the bandwidth caps are properly set.\n\nFor Issue #4, you could try to control how others use the internet connection...  but they'll most likely blow you off unless you can control the router(s).

your computer configuration is simply great, you might face problem with you bandwidth, i would recommend any thing above 512kb/s would be good.

quality of service is not guarenteed at a home user level for internet service. keep an eye on all the lights from your router to your modem, this will help you determine if you ahve any connection issues. if none are apparent you might be having spyware or adware issure, or even a virus.

it could be ur internet settings need adjusting

I think thats the limit! Because they give you only 22MB i Assume. If everyone starts sending in MBs 22MB isn't enough for a night!
