Re: Superfast 150/65 service!! err.. no :)

Just wanted to chime in on this. I am located in Pittsburgh, PA and I am currently subscribed to the "basic" 15/5 service. We were having speeds where we were literally lucky to be downloading at 30 KB/s and the tech said he had no clue what was wrong. Once a night had passed, everything had suddenly returned to normal and we were actually getting slightly faster speeds than normal. They were not able to explain why this had happened.

Hopefully Verizon can fix this as fast as they can with all the damage that probably occurred. Not sure if this was hurricane related as I see people had problems before the hurricane, but I was on hold for like 20 minutes, then on the phone for another 20 to finally be told it looks like its somewhere on Verizon's end. Weird that my upload speed is maxing out at 65Mb/s, but download is only 10Mb/s, when it should be 150

What area are you in?? Also when did it get corrected? I am in the Mount Troy area just north of downtown..

To reiterate my issue was NOT related to the hurricane.. I was getting major packet loss just to my first hop router days before the hurricane hit.

Internet seems to have been brought back up to full speed. Last night jumped to about 75Mb/s, now seeing about 130Mb/s. Happy with that for now

speed is nice..

i keep thinking that this 150meg circuit is total overkill (it really is), but being even being on the LTE connecting getting 1MB/sec was slow to me :P

I live on Spring Garden. We were having pretty much the same issue it seems.
