My own connection is normally fine but yesterday evening it all when to pot with a terrible looking TBB ping chart and a drop in down from 50 to ~30 and upstream sub 2 when it's normally ~ 4.5. On cable **** happens and it can happen very quickly it seems. I'm hoping mine will go back to normal and this was just a new 100Mbps customer downloading the internet.

indeed it can happen fast, consider how small the shared capacity is and that a single user can use 60% of it, a good area can turn bad with just 1 heavy user.
thanks for backing me up that the graph doesnt have to be 'extremely' horrible for speeds to drop, my speeds are also still variable. Currently from about 2pm until about 3am weekdays and about 9am till about 2am weekends.
yours looks like mostly p2p/nntp as can see it starts looking horrific then 5pm to midnight its managed although still looking shaky during those hours.
