I have Verizon Fios. It has been hit or miss for the last couple of weeks for me.

 

My connection is nearly as it should be at 20 mb down and 5 mb up for locations on the East Coast.

But, anywhere west and the speeds drop to 4-14 mb down and 300k to 1400k up.

 

Anyone else experiencing this?

mine has been a bit slower too....

 

time for speed test...

 

 

You are right, going west... it is alot slower.

 

 

Cali is alot slower.

 

 

I have cable...how fast is fios compared to optimum?

try a server further west.

I just did another one, and it was super fast!

who is your provider? Getting very fast results. lol.

FiOS sucks. Worst decision I ever made. Contract is almost up. I always ask why they need a commitment for a year? Now I know why. Optimum never made me commit to a contract for a year. Never will I switch again.

I wish I could get optimum. It is comcast hell here only. So Fios is much better. And by far best TV HD quality.

 

 

It did seem like ammo to go(Texas) was very slow earlier today

 

But, I guess not

Looks like it is the Verizon network.

 

Maks, you have the same type results I got with similar speed tests.

 

I have emailed Verizon but don't expect anything to come of it. :cry:

 

When I was on DSL and had issues with speeds and connection by the time I got to talk to someone at verizon, the connection would miraculously get better. It always stayed bad until I gave in and called to complain.

 

tx was fairly quick though...

I'd be happy with any where near any of that.

I never get anywhere near that with my Optimum Online.....

 

 

 

not bad tonight.

 

I did Utah and got similar results.

 

This however is right outside Nashville, TN

Aside from the contract, why does FIOS suck for you?

I was getting 25/20 until i ran windows 7,verizon fios is NOT configured with windows 7.From Verizon web page a fix is out end of Jan 2010.

Heck is that slow .What can I run to make it faster. I use xp.

Checked again with Speedtest.net and results are about the same. I expect to get 18-20 Mb/s anywhere in the lower 48 states. I used to get that. They want me to upgrade my service and pay more for faster speeds. I told them I would be happy if they delivered what I pay for.

 

Hotel service is pretty darn good....

 

 

But at nearly $30 a day, it should be...

Cablevision

 

 

 

 

I bet my issue is that I am in a Condo complex...... connection is split probably 200+ times in a 1/4 mi radius

Embarq sucks!

 

Comcast Internet - NH

 

 

By the way, anyone that is a customer of Comcast HSI can get a free Wireless N router. I ordered mine through their website yesterday. All that is charged to your account is a $9.95 shipping charge. No monthly charges.

Not sure why we get such quick speeds here....its usually that quick.

 

 

Here is another one I just ran.

The big difference with fios and cable is fios allows a LOT of upload speed where as cable limits that but allows a lot of download (and that's the inherent flaw in cable internet)

spec...

 

cable uncapped can be that high. we were all fed the fios bs. =)

 

I have fios at home, optimum in the office.... at times... optimum alot better.

 

Not sure why we get such quick speeds here....its usually that quick.

 

 

It's what your paying for. You have the opt online "ultra" which is up to 100MB/s where as he must have the basic internet package
