I'll tell you exactly why the speeds are slow for this is the exact same problem I am having. Too many god damn people are using comcast in your area. Let me give you an example: In my area, there are approx. 3000 HSI customers on the Tap/Node. 97% of them were using the internet at the time. Now thats a crapload of people, however, the representative on the phone said its not overloaded. When the techinician came out to my house, he checked the line, said I had a weak signal, so he installed an amplifier. He also said that they would be splitting up the node and that comcast is oversubscribing people like crazy. This is why comcast is a bunch of morons. They assume that everyone who uses HSI won't be consuming all of the bandwith, when indeed, a whole lot of them ARE using plenty of bandwith. This is the only reason why your speeds are crap from 6pm to midnight, same as mine. As long as you play your online games at 2am in the morning, you're set. What I recommend is calling your local payment center and then inquiring about a Node split. Complain to the board of directors or something of that sort. I'm in the process of doing this now.
