Slow network speed during peak times

[Rickrdn1]

I have begun experiencing very slow network speeds in the evening.  My Mifi and other devices go from routinely getting 10 MBS down to 1 MBS in the evening.   Is there any way to address this?

Rickrdn1,

Help has arrived! What zip code are you located in? Due to heavy traffic, this can certainly cause a decrease in speeds. When did you first notice this issue begin? What model phone do you have?

Zip 19429. Just in the last few weeks. We are using multiple devices

- Mifi, iPhone 6, 6, 5, iPad 3, and iPad Mini. We have a 100 Gb family

share plan. Thanks for your help!

Rickrdn1,

Thank you for all of the detailed information.  The coverage in the area looks great.  All of your devices seem to drop in speeds at the same time?  How is voice and text working during these times?  The coverage in the area looks great, but can still be affected by congestion at peak times of usage. We may want to investigate your area further with a remedy ticket.

Yes, I've done a speediest on multiple devices and in the morning I

typically get 10-15mbs but it drops as low as 1-3mbs in the evening,

particularly weekends. It makes it pretty impossible to stream video.

Thanks for your help. Rick

Peak times also means more people are connected to the same tower. There is only so much capacity on each tower.
