hey, just thought I would confirm for anyone wondering that FiOS didn't actually get rid of the symmetrical plan with this recent boost in speeds. I previously had 20/20, but I'm now receiving 25/25, which is just wonderful. :)
I signed for 25/15, but at first it was all over the place, but has been settling down to 25/25. I'm digging the fluffy goodness. :)

Is there a benchmark that would test bi-directional transfer? because with 25/15, I get 24/21 on speakeasy, but actual concurrent transfer is a combined throughput of 25 instead of 40+.
The speeds are 25/25, meaning the downstream bandwidth available is 25 Mbps, and the upstream bndwidth available. A certain part of the opposite direction is required for ACKs, true, so all things being equal you might see 24 Mbps if you were simultaneously uploading and downloading.

From your statement, it sounds like you were expecting ~50 Mbps (2x25 Mbps) if you weren't uploading anything. It doesn't work that way.

Think about this for a minute: you are using 10mb downstream and nothing (significant) upstream. If you tried to push 15mb upstream, the acks for that traffic (which consume down bandwidth) would certainly not add up to 10mb more.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22662214 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:02:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22661923 said by Opteron :

umm, isn't this the way it's supposed to work? the speeds are not concurrent speeds, you need to account for overhead (acks and whatnot)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22661923 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:09:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22653075 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22653075 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 08:50:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22651812 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22651812 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:10:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22651080
1) No one else is having a problem, please reboot, etc etc

2) Hmm, yes you have a problem, a tech will be at your house by 1700 on Sunday

3) Tech calls at 1630 - "I'm not coming out, it seems to be a problem in your neighborhood. (!)

4) 2200 Sunday - "Well, most of the city of Coppell is affected, we are working on it".

Very atypical of FiOS's tech support in my experience. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22651080 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:12:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22648245 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22648245 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:18:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-FiOS-Unadvertised-Symmetrical-Plan-2525-22648236
