I am glad that you mentioned this. This is the conclusion that I was coming
to as well.

night I was able to find that my online backup program was eating up most
of the upload bandwidth. With the up saturated, the down was not able to
work. I paused the backup and traffic stabilized. The other day it was the
Voip phone that I unplugged to achieve that.

I am going to upgrade my modem and see how how that affects things. And I
will probably end up upgrading my connection as well.
