Hello, I use wireless internet connection and at day time my wifi reaches how much I pay (25 mpbs) at night (after 7:00PM aprox) it goes down to 5 and doesn't move... Anyone know how to fix this?

In this case then, you should think about changing provider, you may get a more stabler connection on a different network.

Try plugging an Ethernet cable into the router and into your computer and see if the speeds are still low at peak times, it could be a simple issue with using WiFi.

You're most likely being hit by a high subscriber rate in your area or poor cable routing that is highly successful to electromagnetic interference (in other words other connections colliding with each other) - this is common with the copper cabling schemes.

In any case, evidently based on the time when it occurs, this is most likely due to high usage in your area, you should contact your ISP about the issue and see if they can do anything about it, if they identify a high subscriber rate in your area they might send some engineers out to upgrade the network in your area (if you're lucky).

What ISP are you using?

I have found that most people pay for wired internet speed. WiFi is an added feature. WiFi has always been slower and degrades quickly over distance.
