| Can they really do this? I'm not sure that Verizon will be able to do this. I have a business line with a 7M/700K and have only reached 6M on one day. Today I have less than 1MB oh wait now I have 2.8M oh now i have 300k. The tech that came out was sent out on a 'do dial tone' problem after I spent 2 hours on the phone WITH a representatve about the speed issue. (hold time was reasonable) It was ok for a bit. But NOBODY can tell me whats going on.  |

| You should ask tech support to inquire whether or not there's been a line tech out in that area doing any work on your loop.. It could be someone added a bridge tap or reworked the loop |

The problem is that there are at least 2 if not 3 entities in Verizon handling the DSL issue. And NONE of them talk and a few are even antagonistic(according to the one tech) So the people you talk to on the phone are not the people who come to your house and are not the people who work on the loop. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
The phone support SWEARS we are getting the bandwith but the speed tests on verizon have NEVER shown more than 3MB but the tests here have shown over 6MB.
The STRANGE thing is the ONLY thing that changed from when I upgraded from residential to bus was just that. I had more reliable service from the residential package.
I would be ok if I was just paying $30 and it was a little flaky but I'm paying over 200 and that demands a little more snap to.
BTW the service is running at 6MB right now... (aww darn I jinxed it) I'll keep testing to see how reliable it is... |

Isn't that 'cause of a ton of ATM overhead? SBC users don't get anywhere near their caps either. Heck, I'm provisioned at 1792/160 and only get 1280-1300/138. As a percentage, it's about the same.

I'm ok with 5m or 6m but when I get 300k yes k not m and when my upstream reads 700k(correct for my 768k package) and my downstream is 600k(for my 7m package) something is REALLY REALLY wacky.
Here are some of my results...

One of the techs said it could be rain. But it sped up during a downpour. Go figure...
Maybe things will settle out in a bit. Also note that I have never gotten over 3800kbs on their(verizons) speed test ever. |

| Think it may be the server and not you that's slow? |
|
| The results are consistent for several sites and the verizon tests they provide were more dismal.
Now verizons test is up to 5m consistently (more than 1 test) and over 6000 for this one... I had my connection go out for about 10 minutes a little bit ago? Maybe they tweaked it?
I really don't care I wish that they could do more than read scripts and send out tech's on a no dial tone call...
I think maybe the paint had to dry? |
