Summary:
High ping every night at the same time.
Details:
Every night for the last 1-2 weeks or so, I've been getting triple my normal ping times only on the servers marked US. DEGROOT+ US / BADWATER US will both be 150 ping, while the LA servers are about 50. I've talked to a few other players who are also on Comcast, and their ping times will match mine at the same times as well. Normally I have a 30-50 ping, and when this issue occurs, I jump up to 150+. It goes away after about 20-30 minutes, but every night it's getting annoying. Don't know if it's you guys or Comcast. Any help?

Comcast here. Ping is 20 during the day and 200 at night.

Switching to U-Verse next week. I've come to the realization that comcast under cuts your internet quality at night to save money.
