First, before someone else jumps in. These are my assumptions and they fit with the problem that I am seeing. This slowdown SEEMS to correspond to the router outage. I am offering this as a possible explanation for this issue.

1a. Read the introduction to Internet Traffic Reports.com. It's a listing of backbone routers in the world(at least a sampling). If a router goes bad they have to get another one. Usually takes time if they don't have a spare on hand.

1b. Verizon's feed doesn't just run on Verizon's network. It uses the Internet backbone. If local service normally runs through that router, the local service gets redirected and takes longer.

2. If they have a backbone router, they have a backbone router. Doesn't matter what services they offer.

I talked to Verizon several times about this issue. They say that it's not on their network so there's nothing that they can do. If, indeed, this missing router is the problem then they are correct. The proof or disproof will be if normal service is retored when the router is replaced.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Verizon-FiOS-webmail-21292974 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:55:47 EDT Re: [northeast] Verizon FiOS webmail http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Verizon-FiOS-webmail-21292906 said by birdfeedr:

There is a backbone router down in Vienna, VA. Run Internet Traffic Report (www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm) to see its status.
I'm curious, and asking because I don't know.

How do you know it's a backbone router, and that that particular router outage is causing issues with traffic in the mid-Atlantic area?

Read the introduction to Internet Traffic Reports.com

Is that router outage causing the FiOS webmail problem, subject of the OP? And why don't they just fix it already?

The router's URL points to 207.254.32.14 and whois says it belongs to Amerion. How are they connected to Verizon?

Added: Amerion.com and bossig.com point to the same outfit. Amerion looks like they are a dial-up ISP.

I live near Herndon and have had the same problem for 3 days. Any traffic through that router gets rerouted and delayed. Traffic which doesn't use that router, like to New York, doesn't have a slowdown. Upload speeds do not seem to be affected.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Verizon-FiOS-webmail-21291869 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:23:44 EDT Re: [northeast] Verizon FiOS webmail http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-northeast-Verizon-FiOS-webmail-21290614

I live in the Herndon VA area. I access my Verizon FiOS email via webmail.verizon.net. For the last couple of days the Verizon webmail response has been very slow. Speeds to other web sites are OK. The slow webmail occurs on my other PC at home too, so I don't think it is PC related. Anyone else having this problem?
I find that the entire mail program is slow so I use GMAIL but if you must use the VZ mail, why not use a pop3 email program such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird etc.......
