[speed/latency] Verizon High Speed Internet 15MBPS extremly slow

Re: [speed/latency] Verizon High Speed Internet 15MBPS extremly

One thing you will need to ask Verizon to test is the Relative Capacity of the Downstream. Basically, this shows how much traffic is on your hub.

I've been having major issues with Verizon, on a 7mbps download speed, but only getting inconsistent speeds from .05 to 3mbps.

Had a tech out today and he had my Relative Capacity Downstream was 88%. Meaning it was very heavy, especially for 10am. He said it should have been around 40-50%. However, did say that Verizon keeps adding new customers and throwing them into slots on the hub and it impacts EVERYONE that is on that hub's download speeds.

Doesn't Charter offer service in your area?

reply to rudun
that doesn't look too bad for 10Mbps, however your upstream snr is rather low, especially for the distance (calculated from downstream attenuation*250 to get approx feet)and this might be what is causing the issues. i would say to do the usual wiring check, or get a tech out to do a line capacity test, specifically for upstream.

reply to rudun
Well the techs have all told me the line is beautiful. That capacity doesn't seem to be an issue. Once i think i just lucked out, that it was a router issue on the CO side, and somehow a level 3 took my call and fixed it within 12hours. I don't know why i feel this is the same issue and have no idea why. I just wish they were more transparent. I have been trying hard to assist them in trouble shooting but its been difficult as they don't seem to take your word for it. Just trying to figure this out.

i honestly don't even bother with lower departments for much anymore, they've become useless.

i would suggest using this number to get to some not-robot-humans:

1-866-376-3216 [verizon presidential appeals department]

just enter 0 for extension if needed, and it will put you on for the next person.

reply to rudun
Thanks, I called presidential appeals. He checked that they had provisioned us correctly for 15 and we were capable. Also noted that the first techs request to move frames at the central office was closed and not completed so he opened a new ticket to do that. I have not yet heard from the NOC as to when that will happen but he said i should receive that call sometime today, but at least i have an extension to call back this time.

reply to rudun
I Have same DSL Speed and live in the Babylon area and have the same DSL slow down you are having. My speeds are ranging from 1 Mbps - 1.5 Mbps. Been on with Verizon support for over a week and nothing has fixed the issue. The sent a new Modem, Tech came to the house, same slow speeds. My issue started some time late December 2012.

Has you issue been resolved?
please let me know as my next steps is to show Verizon all of these post with people having the same issue in the area.

Sorry for just noticing your reply. Same thing still going, have called presidential appeals and yet the CO says nothing is wrong. I'm still trying don't want to bite the cablevision bullet

Think there is an issue there

that reverse traceroute tells me one thing, hop 9, erxg03, juniper router. these are known to be very problematic.

tim_k, feel free to chime in here, i think a router switch is needed.

reply to rudun
Make sure when you use the Looking Glass servers that you set up the Trace to use ICMP data, not UDP. That way your router will actually respond back so you can see the complete trace itself.

Also note that the Juniper ERX is required for the higher speeds. Verizon pushes anyone who is moved above 3Mbps onto them even though the Redbacks could technically support a higher speed with little issue. You just won't be able to put as many customers onto them.

reply to rudun
Issue is still going on extremely slow, keep being told nothing is happening trace route shows signifigant loss on their erx router.

i would suggest pming tim_k with your dsl line number, and telling him you have a congestion issue.

reply to rudun
Once you get to the 2nd hop, you're already past our network, but if I moved you to a different edge router it might take a different path. I'm off until Monday.

reply to rudun
The DSL Network center in Rhode Island just called and left a message. They are trying something and know that the central office in Babylon is having an issue since the storm. They're are several costumers in this area having a similar issue and he told me they are looking into why now.
