Why do internet connections get slow during rush hours?

Why do internet connections get slow during rush hours?





This depends on your type of installation.

Many cable companies and some fiber installs utilize shared bandwidth into an area. Imaging a 10 meg pipe into your apartment building (it's not really like this but just for explanations sake).

If you are the only person in the building using the service, you get all 10 meg.

If there are 20 people in the building all using the service, but you are the only one online, you still get all 10 meg.

If its 8PM and everyone is trying to stream netflix, now that 10 meg line is shared between all 20 people.

oh and let's assume that only possible reason to slow in this case is,too many users in the local bandwidth/node(or whatever). not the entire ISP or other reasons, like many peopple using the same LAN's bandwidth. like that what is going on the higer levels
