Default Slow Internet on 2 of 3 computers.. why?

Ok so I have 3 computers on a 2-3 year old DLINK router. During the day I get great speed test times and everything seems to work fine. Without fail almost every evening 2 of my 3 computers start absolutely crawling.

Using the same speed test site I am often getting 100-300 kbps on my two XP machines and 5000+ kbps (which is closer to where I should be) on my Vista machine.

I am absolutely baffled as to why this might be. Anyone have suggestions/ideas?

I should mention that I am running Norton Internet Securities (disabling this does not help) and a slew of other anti-spyware programs.

I also never had problems like this until a recent move. None of the hardware or configurations were changed except the VISTA PC was added.

Replaced the modem and things seem to be better today. Hopefully that was the issue.
