What the hell is with Verizon DSL?

[ZeRoFaTaLiTy]

For a few years in the past, my family has used DSL internet connection and it was always fine. Then, around a year and a half ago, I began to experience massive slowdowns at night, at around 8PM and afterwards. This problem persisted, and eventually began to appear during daytime as well. I switched to Time Warner Cable for a year or so, but my family went back to DSL about 3 months ago, and the stupid thing is acting up again. I used the Verizon speedtest, and at any time of the day, it will give me the usual 300KB downloaded per second, then drop off to less than half of that, then go back up. I googled this problem, and it seems that many people are getting this as well, sometimes because of an oversubscribed service, but mostly unknown problems. Can anyone shed any light on this situation?

Sounds like someone is routing your network, people with unsecured lines tend to experience this. When someone is on a laptop, they can use a router to steal wireless service, usually neighbors.

There\'s a way to encrypted your network to prevent this from happening, hope this helps:
