Re: Slowdowns? on FIBER? REALLY?!?!

So I get an automated call from Verizon telling me that the problem was fixed because it was something to do with MY hardware... Right thats a crock because nothing has changed in the last week. Anyway so its 6:30 and my speeds are jumping around from 6megs to 8.5megs on usenet and from Smith6612's link for Gamefront I'm hitting a 9.9 so is this 6 days of fluke slow speeds or 1 night of fluke fast speeds?

And just for $hits and giggles I'm hitting a 10 on fileplanet.....

MVM,

What are the units here? 9.9MegaBytes/sec? If that's the case, then what's the problem?

If you're getting 9.9 from Gamefront and 10 from fileplanet, then the problem is obviously with the usenet provider or the routing to the usenet provider. Either way, there's nothing Verizon will/can do about it.
