Download speed from webhost

This is a general question i guess.
Been with my webhost for 3 years now for about 3 weeks my download rate went down to 50kb/s - 150 kb/s.

I had 6 guys check it 3 of them downloaded at the same low rate as me and the other 3 1.1MB/s 600kb/s and 700 kb/s so i guess it is not my host.

What could cause this on my end.Now mind you I still download at 700 to 900 kb/s on other websites only my own host as far as I know.

I have Cable 8/768

Checked things on my end Speed test and i run a tracert to webhost with no problems at all ping 14 to the host.

Running RN 2.02.02 with Sentinel.

There's many factors that could cause this including time of day, amount of congestion on the pipes, current load on the server, routers going down and your packets have to take a different, slightly longer route, etc. You could run a speed test 12 times a day and end up with 12 different results.

Don't lose sleep over something like this. It happens.

I didn't do anything.
I think it was a internet routing issue since only comcast members had this problem all other guys had no problem.Like I said before I was DL at 50 kb/s now over 800 kb/s.Took them about a month to fix this.

The only thing that is wierd was that nothing showed on a tracert, all looked normal.

The guys that had problems came all from the northeast Boston and Philly area.Other guys from the Philly area with a different Service provider did not had any slow down issue at all.
