The past two nights, I've experienced high evening latency as evidenced by the following smokeping: http://www.dslreports.com/smokeping?target=0712ab6ecdf79bcf70eb25b01ca3f25d.Michigan
The latency hits 3 hops into CenturyLink's network, at a router named atx-edge-05.inet.quest.net (67.14.14.214). I remoted into a family member's computer who uses Centurylink one county over and they are experiencing the same issue at the same location. The odd thing is how quickly the connection goes from flawless to crappy - it's almost instantaneous like someone is flipping a switch. It will slowly come back down as you approach midnight.
I dread calling support - since it appears this a case of "deal with it since we're the only game in town."
