I live in Newport News, VA and I'm having similar issues into the evening. I used to be able to play Rocket League at all hours of the day with zero problems, but for the past couple of weeks it's unplayable in the evening.

@Darkbridge

Are you only having this issue playing Rocket League and are you hard wired to the modem, router, or wireless?

    Hi jonathanj,

    This is the main game I have been playing lately, but I noticed issues with Heroes of the Storm as well, another MOBA that my friends and I are playing. I will try again tonight and see if I have similar problems. Things were fine this morning, my problem is always present in the evening.

      Hi jonathanj,

      I played again Saturday night and while I did still have some connection problems, it was much better than the night before. I am hard wired to my router, which is connected to my modem. If I run into issues again I will try plugging my PC directly into the modem to see if that's an issue. My modem is an Arris Surfboard SB6183.
