It would be good if everyone can also remember to post the times that they did their tracerts, since the problem only seems to happen between 7:30pm and 10:30pm at maximum.

Nope. My slow speeds are specifically between 7:30pm and 10:30pm. By slow speeds I mean high international latency. My bandwidth has increased from 100kbps/150kbps to now being at a minimum 400kbps, mostly higher (happy camper :D).

So, please post the time of your test also, regardless of whether yours is always slow/bad.
