Tower Upgrade already used up

I have been getting piss poor service for a couple of months now. At times I will see in the 600kbps range but my I get disconnected five or six times a day, there are extended periods where my download speeds are below 30kbps while uploads remain high.

I have a great signal -69dbm. Verizon has network issues that they are unable or unwilling to fix.

That is what I would consider a good speed for me. I am lucky to get 600kbps.

CBOBBY, why don't you post the actual test result? Most speedtests have 'copy to forum' button that will allow you to copy and paste the actual result panel from the test, like this:

I think he's using PCPITSTOP, which doesn't offer a "copy to forum", just the graphic, hence why he's cutting and pasting.

YEAH, that' it, this is all it generates (other than a graphic).

***CHOBBY***, use speedtests like speedtest.net or testmy.net
which offer you a graphical "forum" way to post your speeds.

when I'm getting slow speed...speedtest takes too much time to load all the graphics....
it's a bandwith HOG! lol

most likely, true. I know when I run a speedtest off a Verizon tower on my smartphone, it seems like it takes forever to load,
even longer to run. same might be with a overloaded tower on a mbb device.
