| [speed/latency] Low upload speed
Hello, I've had Verizon's 1.5mbit/384kbit connection for quite a while, recently my upload speeds and connection stability have gone down quite a bit. The speeds I'm connecting at are 1792kbit down and 160kbit up. When I download a file, which my speed ranges between 150KB/s to ~200KB/s, browsing the internet or playing a game online slows down to a crawl. My upload seems to max out at 17KB/s and also makes my internet slow down to a crawl. My ping in game jumps to about 1700ms when I'm normally around 200ms.
I've called Verizon several times but I never get anywhere, they say that my speeds are normal for my connection.
So I guess I'm asking for advice on how to get Verizon to do anything about my upload speed and stability issue, which I believe my upload speed is the reason.
My distance is 15400ft according to Verizon

Rego Park, NY | looks like you are provisioned on the wrong upload speed. instead of 1.5/384, you are on 1.5/128. Post on the Verizon Direct forum with those stats, and tell them to change you to the 384 upload.
Happy New Year!!
Cheers,

Other than the sync rate being off and the high pings, the speeds are ok. 1kB = 8 kb. You are synced in kb, but downloads and uploads are measured in kB. So 150-200kB = 1200-1600 kb and 17kB = 136kb. |
