Re: Twitch.tv Evening/Night Drops

Congested routes? Notice how wide the variance is to other cities... an indicator it is more route specific.

Most likely 2nd/third party network segments. Once you get handed off at Spectrum's IXP to another company's network, they have no direct control of QoS on the other side. If you can snoop the endpoint IP and get a tracert to it, they may be able to run it up the flagpole to the powers that be... otherwise, may be completely out of their hands.

The speeds that Twitch is reporting are NOT rocket fast, more like turtle slow!  San Jose at 4,839 kbps is less than 5 megabits per second.  If the measurement Twitch makes is really round trip, you should consider it normal for up to a 60 Megabit TWC/Spectrum internet connection, which has only a 5 Mbps uplink. 

Everything that raist5150 said earlier is also true because your connection is always established through the same Spectrum IXP, based on your home location.  The physical location of your target server's IP address doesn't matter at all.
