Overseas students and Chinese people using VPNs to access services back to China often encounter a problem: it works fine during the day, but when browsing other websites...VideoSmoothPlaying gamesLow latency, videocallClear at night. But then everything changes drastically. Videos load in a loop, game latency spikes to 200ms+, video calls become pixelated, and the whole experience becomes like a PowerPoint presentation.
To be more specific: Between 8 PM and midnight Beijing time, which is prime time in China, network quality drops drastically. This isn't a problem with your network or your equipment. It's a common phenomenon in the field of accelerators for returning to China.
The "Evening Peak" Curse of Cross-Border Broadband
Between 8 PM and midnight Beijing time is the peak period for internet traffic in China. After get off work or dinner, hundreds of millions of people simultaneously open their phones and computers: scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), watching dramas, playing games, making video calls...
During this period, domestic platforms experience peak server load, placing the greatest pressure on cross-border networks. Overseas students and Chinese also tend to use domestic platforms during this time. This is the optimal time to connect with friends and family back home, and also the peak time for content updates on domestic platforms. This results in a double surge of domestic and overseas user traffic.
Furthermore, most accelerators for returning to China have fixed bandwidth. During the day, fewer people use it, so the bandwidth is sufficient, and the experience is normal. At night, more people use it, but the bandwidth is insufficient, causing lag for everyone. It's like a highway: during normal times, there are few cars, and it's smooth sailing; during rush hour, there are many cars, and it becomes a parking lot.
