Extreme packet loss every night around 6pm - 7pm up until morning

So what's the deal when every night at around this time I start rapidly losing download speeds and upload (I go as low as 0.2 upload sometimes!) , get severe packet loss so I cannot use discord to talk to my friends / family or play anything online around 60% -> 90% loss rate. I dont even need to look at the time anymore to know what time it is when I start lagging its getting this consistent.

I have the same problem, but it happens during the day and usually corrects early evening and runs well all night.

What state/city are you in

 

 

 

 

 

I was looking at my email and saw replies. Long post. I cannot say for the others here, but this has been an issue in southwest Iowa (i live in Red Oak) for a while. There has to be an issue somewhere on your end because this is happening to other people around this area. There is a post on mediacom's reddit by decafstab who generally lives near where I am and is showing the exact same thing.

Having extreme packet loss and after all the steps to give information like giving tracerts (sometimes the ms was high on a hop) and did your mediacom internet test (results are always amazing for some reason. High upload and download) but at the same time doing that i am lagging all over the place in my game and my discord voice chat reads over 3k ping. I can run google's test or ookla and the results are drastically different. How can this happen? Is there a bottleneck happening somewhere?
