I have noticed even with T1 at the office, the internet slows way down around
3 ~ 5 PM. I have a feeling it's kids coming home from school and logging on
in huge numbers, but maybe I'm all wet. I don't think it's just your cable.
(I have ADSL here, BTW, and I like it fine, but then, cable Internet's not
available here.)
