The number of users at any given time is usually what affects the majority of the speed issues. Cable systems have X amount of bandwidth and this is spread out to however many users are on at any given time. There are a lot of plant or drop issues that could also contribute to a speed problem. If you have a ping program that allows you to adjust the size of the packets, I find that it is a good troubleshooting tool. This will help to determine where you might be experiencing a slowdown.
> I live in a 2-way CATV system with cable modem service. My download speeds vary from 500K to as low as 32K at times. Lately download speeds are almost always under 100K. I know download speeds depend on bandwidth and my question is what affects the bandwith in the downstream path.
