spliffmaster posted : I have had issues for the last 2 weeks between 7pm-11pm EVERY night. I live in Long Beach, CA and have a 75/35 Verizon FIOS line.

During those times, I get at best 10/35. My upload is never affected..however I cannot game, or do much of anything with the 1000ms pings and major packet loss.

I have had it with Verizon and their terrible techs and unwillingness to admit there is a problem.

andyjai posted : Seems like Verizon fixed it on Tuesday night. All Los Angels Speedtest.net servers give me around 60-80Mbps Down and 30up. Http downloads maxed out my connection and youtube is able to stream fine now. But I still wonder why the Verzion standard speedtest still give me poor result, while their 100Mb test give me full speed.

Same issues on the east coast. Not just you guys. A bit frustrating since I am an online gamer but not much I can do. Want to know something weird? I am in Central NY and I make a hop all the way to Culpeper, VA just to connect to a game server in NY/NJ.

I wouldn't worry too much about the hop going to Virginia, if it is at all. There's no way to find its true location but it is pinging at 10-12ms for you so it's not all bad.

This is obviously bad business and customer service by Verizon, They should have a network status page that updates every minute letting their customers know what is going on...but instead they give you all this crap letting you believe that your own router has a problem and they ship you a replacement and still the same issue only to find out that there's an outage...

Its been more than a week and still the same issue - this is unacceptable

Have you try other servers on Speedtest.net? I am still having connection issue with two servers. But my speed haven't slow down today. I am able to stream HD video from youtube at 30-80Mbps.

A Tech was schedule to come to my house today, but he didn't show up so I called Verizon. They say the tech didn't come because there is an outage in this area, something to do with the GPON. ETA fix time is today at 7pm.

He said that the reason for the slow speeds was that we were being transferred to an alternate FiOS line because of the problem. He said that they have had a group working on it, and they are replacing some equipment at the CO in Walnut. Estimated ETA is 3:00 am.
Since everything goes fine after 2:00 am, I suppose that we won't know until tomorrow.

It's almost as if some routes to different servers are heavily congested on Verizon's side.

How accurate is verizon's speedtest? For those that have no problem with their fios, do you guys always see full speed from their speedtest? I always get slower speed from the standard 75Mbps test than the 100Mbps test, and I hardly ever see full speed with either test.

I told him that this is affecting a number of people in Walnut, Diamond Bar, and Rowland Heights, and some people are business users. He said he was going to create a "ROC" ticket, which would hold more weight than anything generated by Tech Support. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling and get someone to fix this problem.

smrtech posted : Yea, same problem exists on east coast too, not just CA.
Slows down alot at night especially. And for me, it's gotten
a bit better last few days, I can stream, but still erratic
download speeds. I did notice the routing 2 hops out from
me changed in last couple days, but core problem still there.

Funny thing, I have an open case on this and a very nice support
person calls me every day to see how things are doing. I
repeat that this is in their network or CO, not at my house
(please don't send another tech!). Have sent him the
traceroutes and explanations via email. I told him, I want
him to call the local manager and get me an answer about
what they think it is - but so far nothing. I just wanted
them to say anything, but get zero response. Network
Techs say it's all fine...(they told me that once). He'll
call tonight and ask me if I have heard anything more about
this problem!

It's either bad routing or over-subscription or both.
I do get decent performance in general, but there are
sites that either hang or I download a PDF and get <1MB/s
- this should not be (where I did not have this with Comcast).

FYI - if you are interested, lob and email to the following
address and yell, this is what I got from the support person.
Change first 2 letters to your state abbrev.

Email: pa.fsc.customer.experience@verizon.com

Go ahead try that, opening a case with support is a total
waste of time. Not only will nothing ever get fixed by that,
it just wastes everybody's time.

these problems have been occurring for me since december and all they are doing is wasting people's time, no reason to have a tech out to a home when the issues are clearly on verizon's transport and backbone.

these problems go away during the dawn hours and day when most people are sleeping or not at home.

they just need to fix their network, damn it, hate wasting time with B.S. crap :-)

dave49er posted : @ 1:30 pm, speed was down to 33 Mbps, now at 4:00 it's down to 9 Mbps. Verizon has a problem, and they're too stupid to realize it. if you try to call, you'll be on hold for 30 minutes because "We are experiencing an unusually high volume of calls right now." Yeah, they have been for at least 5 days, and still don't have a clue.

praetoralpha posted : I too have been having youtube issues. its gotten so bad that i don't even dream about 1080p (almost always loads much slower than real time), and 720p works maybe half the time. I have talked to others across the country (not on fios), and they have been saying that youtube sucks too.

The effective value of 50/25 is slowly declining.

andyjai posted : I don't have any packet loss problem, just getting slower and slower speed. I understand your pain, our company was using verizon dsl and the top speed is 0.5Mbps on a 7Mbps plan and it also disconnect very frequently. Verizon never fix the problem because they say DSL is old and you will only get what you can get, and we just switched to another 4G ISP.

mkaishar posted : I'm in Walnut with FIOS Business and this is been happening a lot at night, massive packet loss, massive slowdown into the kilobit speeds, massive disconnects.

Been on the phone with support for days now, every time I get a different answer, this is hurting a lot more than just casual surfing, hitting me in the wallet with work!!!

Router has nothing to do with it, I run my own firewall and it is a problem on their end, especially at night, I sure hope they are not throttling the connection, this is going to force me to end my 4+ year business with FiOS.

[Southwest] Problem with Fios

andyjai posted : I have 75/35 plan with Actiontec Rev I modem and I only use wired connection. For weeks I can hardly stream any HD video at youtube during the evening, seems like my streaming speed is around 50-300KB/s. Using speedtest.net I can sometimes get full speed and sometimes not and I hardly every get full speed using verizon speedtest or speakeasy. This problem only occurs during peak time.

So on friday, I thought something might be wrong with my router and I switch it around with my older Westell modem and nothing improved. (I kept releasing DCHP and switching modem, and later just plain releasing DCHP and restart the Actiontec after 30mins). Then on friday night around 2am, everything went back to normal full speed (I can stream youtube 50-80Mbps and I can download file from Microsoft, Nvidia, and ATI around 7xxx-9xxx KBps), so i thought problem is fixed. Then Saturday day afternoon everything is slow agin (Youtube streaming 0-2Mbps and Microsoft, Nvidia, ATI are giving me around 50-300KBps each and Verizon speedtest around 8Mbps down 30Mpbs up.

Tonight is even worse, most speedtest.net servers wont even run the test and some servers report download speed around 10Mbps. Verizon speedtest say "Test Timed out" and won't run. Mircosoft, Nvidia, ATi download speed around 5-60KBps.

After I ran a tracert, I noticed something might be strange. Is the second line suppose to show my IP? Like my IP is suppose to be 98.119.77.xx? But that is not even close to what my current IP. My IP is 79.67.89.xx, so is that what causing my slow time? Did my frequent DCHP release mess something up? I had a couple IP with 98.119.77.xx before when I was releasing/renewing them. (I wrote down all the IP address after each release)

I contacted verzion about this and they just send me another router. The router is coming tomorrow, but I doubt it will solve it.

Any help is appreciated. (Need to mention again that this problem seems to only occur during evening time as I get full speed at very late after 1am and full speed before I go to work at 9am)
