Since it runs fine all other times I think I'm safe to assume it's nothing on my end (phone line, modem, router, PC) and it's their network.
I wish they spent the money in upgrading their network!

Yep - that's a classic symptom of network congestion. With me, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, it occurs during "working hours" since the area I live in is more business than residential.
Capping should hopefully ease the situation. Fewer people streaming video in peak hours should mean less network congestion.
