Anyone having issues tonight

yep, it was a slow crawl tonight. I attributed it to Nemo outages, or people staying up and causing heavy use on VOD/inet since it's snowy and a weekend. Cleared up by midnight, back to normal speeds.

was good for a bit during the times you said as well

now back to crawl

reply to iamloco724
Been crawling here. Seems to be impossibly slow to points in DC and Reston but fine to Baltimore, Weird.

call the support and you get. not seeing any tickets logged regarding slow or not connecting to email tonight. yep - northeast coastline, without power and call center not seeing any issues. ok RIGHT.. 1/27 issues email server outage. then sporadic issues thereafter and now again 2weeks later, just happens to be another outage that knowone wants to fess up that theres maintenance or some work going on that could affect customers for 3-5hrs.... FIOS definitely is not as reliable as it was 3yrs ago.

We had the same thing Friday and Saturday evenings here in North Jersey.....I also attributed it to Nemo. Friday night, my 50/20 speed was 0.75/1.2. Saturday was a bit better at 1.6/2.

I did dozens of speedtests, rebooted my router, all the normal troubleshooting things. When that didn't fix it, I did what my wife said I should have done in the first place.....I went to bed.

I wasn't home until later on Sunday evening, but it seemed fine that night after 11.

Both Saturday and Sunday mornings speeds were back to normal. I think it was a combination of outages causing a slowdown, combined with everyone being home and using Netflix/Hulu.

Since the problem seems to have gone away, I will just chalk it up to a massive storm causing a slowdown.....I can live with that if the other 364 days of the year are ok (OK, 359 since we lost service for 5 days after Sandy).

im still having issues during prime hours

just did a a speed test on the fios quantum site

im on the 150/65 plan

i usually get like 153/74

upload is still fine but download isnt 86/74

reply to iamloco724
less then 5 minutes later and the test is event worse now getting 53/74

reply to iamloco724

What the chart shows is that the server was down.
Does not mean that you were experiencing packet loss.

If you check the other server, you should see that it was up and you should see little if any packet loss.

It's 2/17 and i'm glad I found this thread. I am having download speed issues as well. I was going to submit a support ticket for internet issues via My Verizon but I keep getting sent to a dead page.

Your Speed Result: (»speakeasy.net/speedtest/)
Download Speed: 2245 kbps (280.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 22504 kbps (2813 KB/sec transfer rate)

Speedtest from 3rd party sites are near useless as one has no idea if the test server is the bottleneck or the datacenter/server's network connection can even handle FIOS speeds

Even if repeated tests in the past to the same test site yielded higher results? Also, trying different test sites on the East Coast provide similarly slow results.

What would you recommend as a viable alternative?

ive been using the fios quantum speed test and every night same drop off around 8pm it will start

reply to SeeKnaY
Aside from the dedicated VZ servers, other speed test if slower, will just show either overloaded peering points ( not VZ's issue ) or the servers are being run more at night, no one knows

It would seem NYC is at capacity and it is slowing down at night, I doubt internal to Verizon is the issue, more than likely the peer networks either haven't recovered from Sandy or there is just more traffic than the other networks just can handle at peak usage times.

I have yet to see any indication its within Verizon network ..

It was only a matter of time and killer applications ( Netflix ) to push marginal networks to be like the highways we drive everyday ( and have traffic jams in all major city's ).

The new Verizon teirs aren't helping, I can see Quantum speeds flooding the peer networks capacity, it would be interesting if nycDave would post metrics, I'm sure they are 110% aware of whats going on, but hey , if Verizon is the 10 lane highway, but all other routes and off-ramps are 2 lanes that pretty much paints the picture if whats going on.

I wonder if this is what we will all come to expect and carriers are going to start selling network wide QOS for hire
