Check your router stats.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15347215 Sat, 28 Jan 2006 04:31:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15347140 CCNnorthcali : Maybe see if DSLExtreme would be better? They resell Verizon, but their tech support is better from what I hear.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15347140 Sat, 28 Jan 2006 03:41:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15340384 daeggi : Experiencing the exact thing past 4 months(since i got the service.) in NYC area.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15340384 Fri, 27 Jan 2006 08:46:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15339014 sweatynipple : so about 6 months ago I started to have major slowdowns from about 4:00 P.M until 1:00 A.M. During this time period I was getting about 700 Kb/s on a line that is supposed to be 3 Mb/s. However, I was getting 2600 Kb/s away from this time period. I lived with it for a while because I didn't need the fast speed because I was usually doing homework during the time period anyways. I live a heavily populated area near UCLA so I sorta expected slowdowns. However, about 3 months ago the speed started getting slower, even earlier in the afternoon so I decided to call. We went through a bunch of troubleshooting on my side (which I knew was B.S.) and after everything failed they said they would send somebody out. The problem was never solved. Well about a month ago the speeds from about 2:00 P.M. until 12:00 A.M. steadily decline and as I type (8:30 P.M), the verizon infospeed webpage shows that I am getting 240 Kb/s. I called verizon tech support and I told them that the problem is on their side and after they tried to bullshit me for a while I finally got it out of the guy that it was indeed their problem and their was no way it could be fixed because of the number of subscribers in the area. I was pissed and told them I would cancel the service (after I gave them a mouthfull). Unfortunately, there are no other real providers in the area (westwood) so I don't know what to do. Do you guys know any way that I could somehow get my speeds to increase? if I called the tech support, could I ask them to do something helpful to try to solve the problem?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15339014 Thu, 26 Jan 2006 23:34:07 EDT
