Dial up transfer rates

Hi all,
in the mornings Gkrellm shows my dial up transfer rates to remain
reasonably constant
between 3.5/kbs and 5.0/kbs. In the evening after 7.00pm the rate spikes
(for want of a better term)
very severely from 5 down to 0/kbs, and remains on 0 up to 30secs. or
more. My Isp says this can't happen
have the usual isp who has nothing to do with Linux, and I have been
told it must be my machine, or me.
When I tell them that my computer has not been turned off for 3 months,
and I am pretty sure
Ubuntu is not afraid of the dark, they still don't believe me. Works OK
in the morning, maybe it needs to
go to bed early.
My question is, is there any way I can generate a log file that shows
my connection speed, and
second by second my transfer rate,for maybe a minute, that I can print
out and email them.
Personally I think it's an exchange problem as I have to go through a
few to finally connect to my isp.
This problem even occurs on connecting to my isp's mail server, so slow
sites are not all the problem.
I can live with a slower speed if it remains constant, but have been
losing downloads when it drops back to 0.
