That makes no sense with the DSL. If it was cable I can understand seeing as that's shared but DSL shouldn't be. At least that's what I understood but I do see slowdowns with mine. Haven't figured out if it was just netflix or the service.
Speed doesn't kill, rapidly becoming stationary is the problem

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

Yeah I know the theory about number of users supposedly not affecting DSL...but in reality it does. The slowdown was like clockwork. As soon as the kids were released from school in the town you would see an instant slowdown. Bad enough to where sometimes you could not even display a web site in the browser. Then about 9 pm it would all come back. The provider could never explain nor fix it which is why we moved to the slower and much more expensive dedicated dual T1. Haven't had that problem since we switched.

Peak periods are peak periods. Your DSL connection may be rated at 8192Mb/sec and connect at that speed. But that speed is generally the connection speed to the ISP and not to any point on the internet, Eventually all the DSL circuits get aggregated. Cable just happens to do the aggregation closer to the neighborhood.

Try running a traceroute (Mac) or tracert (windows) from your computer to google.com and www.b4print.com. all those "hops" have speed and capacity limits that affect your speeds.

Thanks for that explanation Matt. Makes sense to me.
