A massive analysis of some 2.3 million online speed tests carried out over the last six months has fingered 4.00am as the time you’re most likely to see your internet approach its advertised speed, as that’s when your neighbour’s kids aren’t YouTube-ing the hell out of your local exchange.
The data found that average broadband speeds are 28 per cent lower at 9.00pm than they are at 4.00am and can see as much as a 60 per cent drop off in some areas, thanks to, well, literally everyone in the country simultaneously staring at a laptop and a phone to escape their mundane realities.
For those (un)lucky enough to be around at 4.00am, average connection speeds around the country at that time nearly reach the 15Mbps mark, against a 9.00pm average of 10.72Mbps. [TR]

Spank o’clock!
Just think how much you can download at 4am!
Great minds….
Allowing for 10% network overheads, about 12MB/s
12 masterbates per second?!! You’d be sore in the morning after that!
I could managed 12 in about 3 hours. Ah to be a teenager again.

Thanks captain obvious
Heh.Just in case anyone missed it, I suppose.
And what are you supposed to be? Some kind of troll heckling Kat?
why did they need a “massive analysis of some 2.3 million online speed tests” to figure out that the tubes are most clear in the wee small hours?
I could’ve told ‘em that!
