Same problem began in my part of London, ON about 1+ month back. Consistently crappy download speeds from late afternoon through to end of night. I posted this in the forums:

before looking around here further, only to realize that this appears to be a systemic problem in many metropolitan locations, and from the time range on the posts, it looks like Rogers isn't doing much to improve the situation. Not good.
Our family depends on our ability to use the internet effectively during the evening hours. Guess I'm going to have to start shopping plans from other providers who can actually deliver a consistent service level?
A shame, since I've had very good Internet service from Rogers for many years up until this problem began, and we've got a whole lot of services with them -- if I move one, I'll move them all to bundle on cost! I wonder how much business Rogers needs to lose before the lost revenue actually gets their attention? If the diversity of geopgraphic locations discussed in this forum thread is any indication, they have a very, very widespread infrastructure problem on their hands.
