If this is the case, then it must be due to the habits of people in the USA and Europe at this time.

It has reached the stage where I just give up on Sundays and Monday and its fine on Tuesday.

1376764 2014-06-08 10:19:00 It's double time on Sundays, so it just takes twice as long. ;) R2x1 (4628)
1376765 2014-06-08 12:31:00 Makes no difference to me, maybe it's just the loading in your area. Just downloaded a game off Steam and got 16 Mbps the whole time (2MBps).
Not sure overseas habits are any more likely to slow things down than local ones.

It can be slow at times and not just on Sundays. I've never had to give up but I am inclined to agree with dugimodo. From comments by friends in UK and Canada they have similar experiences.

1376767 2014-06-08 22:15:00 With more people having Sunday off and having nothing better to do than surf the net we can expect the net to be congested. With the time differences around the world you can expect this busy period to flow over to Monday our time.

Made little difference to me because I worked this Sunday and was off the net.
