No I don't want a stake. This is a tech related problem post.
Recently my student house (6 of us in total) went from cogeco cable to Bell DSL. The problem with Bell DSL is that it is often times very slow - I'm talking like 10 seconds to completely (or even 1/2way) load a webpage, and 5-10 seconds worth of lag on poker sites. That means when I press bet, it takes 5-10 seconds for the site to register it. It basically makes it unplayable.
However at other times our internet is blazing fast - it's doing so right now. It seems to go either slow or fast for 6-8 hours at a time before switching to the opposite.
Does anyone know what is going on? I'll give you what I know.
1. Every computer (6 total) in the house feels the same lag or speed at the same time.
2. We have a router connected to the modem (obviously). It's a new router and we had no problems with it with Cogeco Cable (old ISP).
3. Today I was up at 7 am and online and the internet began to go from very slow -> very fast. It took about an hour to completely go through it as it was gradual. There was no noticeable even going on at the time (everyone else was asleep), so nobody picked up a phone, turned on/off a computer, etc.
4. Nobody is downloading anything at any decent speeds, so there isn't some 600 Kb/s download going on that's slowing it down for the rest of us.
5. We just got phone filters on all our phones and the problem still continues.
6. There are no noticeable wire shredding etc or hardware problems.
7. It is the same for wireless and through the wire.
8. We are encrypted with WPA encryption so there isn't anyone coming on and off on our wireless.
So what's going on? I have no idea and it's very frustrating to not be able to play poker at certain times because of the massive lag.
Any help is appreciated.

I've had this, and it was my isp being crap. The giveaway is if the massive lag is at peak times. It does look like this with your change to Bell.
and to get this off my chest: UK people DON'T USE VIRGIN BROADBAND. Richard Branson is a hyprocritical twat with his man of the people bullshit and is the most exploitative arsehole out there. phew. |

WEP is teh shit, very easy to crack
WPA is way way way way way way safer
that shouldn't be the problem though |

I meant WPA then - we used to use the easy to crack one, but switched to the tough one. I mixed the two up. |

1) Plug only one computer and run some tests, if it runs fine i.e no lag then maybe the problem is in your side.
2) If you experience the same problems with only 1 computer plugged then it's ISP fault. DSL doesn't share the bandwith, all it needs is to synchronize with the DSLAM and your connection is up, get some software analyze your bandwith and phone to your ISP so they can do something.
