Re: Slow Speeds in NYC
The thing is, though, the latency remains exactly the same despite the time of day - that's what's kind of puzzling. The speed, however, fluctuates. Right now I'm testing at 2800/714 with ~65ms to hop #4. Earlier, I was as low as 400/650, still pinging ~65ms to hop #4  |

As of a few moments ago my speeds are back to normal. I'm really curious to know what caused this and how it was fixed but I'm glad I'm not surfing in soup right now.

| here we go: 11204 here
it's 5:56PM and it's slow again
it works like a clock: the moment it gets closer to the peek hour then it switches to the slow motion
is Verizon DSL made of a bunch of amateurs or they really know how to do it? ( whatever they're doing)
this post was harsh (I know) : problem is that when you give this kind of service (any kind of service as a matter of fact) don't expect admiration for your paying customers. |

| Yep, things are painful again in 11213. I'm currently trying to download some drivers for my computer. 25 minutes remaining for a 104mb file  |

I just do not know what is going on. My speed is really ok despite all the issues here. The only issue I had was the flash applet with my antivirus dragging things down. But here is my result today again. It goes between 277x and 28xx and sometimes 2900. Im in the same neighboring approximately with at least some of you.

Hello,
I'm in the same area and this has been happening to me for months, I've the 3/768 package. Right now it's like paying $33 for a 768/128 package or actually dial-up.
I'd contacted the Verizon Direct Forums and they said everything is fine on their end. They'd sent a dispatch over to my home couple of weeks ago, the tech said I'd need to replace the line outside my home for $200.
Funny thing is the speed are back to normal after midnight but by then I've to go to bed for work. I'm thinking of switching over to optimum online; but I'd heard from a couple friends that for cable, the line is shared among other neighbors. Plus they can raise the monthly bill for no reason. Is this true? |

I'm having the same problem here at 11223, Bensonhurst. I think we should start find who's the top Officials and let them know that this issue needs to resolve asap. I have had this problem for the past 2 Months. I called and they said their wasn't a problem and also posted in Verizon Direct forums. They closed my ticket saying everything is fine. I know it's fine during the day but during the nights, it is extremely slow. |

| I hear you , pal
same here: the funny thing (but I'm not laughing) is that every time I have to repeat all the useless tests to end up with the same useless response.
but you're right: THEY KNOW! of course they know.. if they don't know then they'd be selling something else. Problem is that they don't care or don't want to spend to fix anything. Alternatives? cable. what DSL alternative we have?

Yeah, alternatives there are but it's just too much of a hassle. It's really annoying how it's only during the evenings for this choke up. 5PM-2AM. At least that's the case for me. |

Hi all,
I've been having the same problem for the past couple of days now. My Upload speeds are faster than my Down  and I'm in 11224. I did not bother calling Verizon to report the problem, i already know their answer. Hopefully they'll fix whatever needs to be fixed soon... |

I'm also in 11224. I was wondering if I was the only one with this problem, I guess not. My upload speeds were consistently around 350 kbps while my downloads were around 250 and below. It's been like this for nearly a month already. I had a tech come over but other than telling me that my bitrate was low he didn't fix anything. |

| same here 11214
what can we do? nuthing really.
at least we have this place where we can express our gratitude and admiration to the fantastic verizon dsl service
I agree they behave like amateurs.
and they seem to enjoy the tests they like to make us perform when they have no idea how to run the thing (apparently)
ehy , verizon.. the "thing" doesn't work .. LOL (yeah, I'm laughing) |

3 edits | I'm in 11214 and speed is ok, I'm starting to get a feeling. This is a paid advertisement by "Optimum Online." I'm not officially accusing, just feels strange. I would not be lying that speed is my true results. If it was slow I would be complaining too. But your in 11214 and having issues, while i'm not. Unless we have something radically different this is odd. I'm not covering for Verizon. Customer just like you so something must be on your end. Because i'm not magically getting better speeds. For this to be on the isp's end I would suffer too. As we are nearly connected to the same equipment. Unless other possibility (outside of many) might be cards going bad. Or modems, routers who knows.
BTW: These guys have problems too: »Slow OOL Speeds

2 edits | I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous that you should even make a post like that. We are loyal customers who have problems with our service. I have had DSL since 1999. The problems are not on our end. It is very possible that you are in 11214 but maybe somehow served out of a different CO which is not affected, or your routing is different or something along those lines. Heck, I am in 11213 and I was experiencing the problem too.
Luckily, they have resolved it for me, but many other users are still having the problem. Even suggesting that the complaints may have been fabricated is downright disrespectful and inappropriate considering that a lot of loyal, paying customers are suffering through this ordeal. If you are not or have not been experiencing the problem, then there really is no reason to post in this thread anyway; particularly posting the same thing over and over - that your speeds are great. We understand that your speeds may be fine, but our speeds are / were not fine. There is no need to repeatedly make the point. I really don't mean to come off as rude, just stating my opinion and speaking up for others who may still be going through this. |
