Re: 50/25 Upgrade for $10/monthI have 25/25 and I'm wondering if anyone who has made the jump from that to the 50/25 feels it was worth the $10.00

Here is the real question. I have 35/35. If I sign up, and weeks later try to cancel, do they put you go to your old speed? I know 35/35 is not offered anymore. Also, good luck with billing for this. |

I also have 25/25 and have already decided that it's not worth $10 more every month to go to 50/25. |

I just upgraded a few hours ago. Went from roughly 15/5 WITH ETHERNET to 58.7/39 for an additional $10 per month.
HOWEVER, my WiFi is lagging way behind. It was roughly 15/5 and now I only increased to 22.1/21.5 sitting three feet away from my original ActionTec router.
My new Samsung SmartTV just clocked in at 23.8/21.6 thru WiFi in our second floor bedroom about 20' from the router. In the same room, my laptop clocks in at 20.7/21.
I just watched a YouTube video and it ran great for a couple of minutes but then started "hiccuping." It's slightly better than it was before the upgrade.
Should I call Vz and ask for the newer "N" router? |

Never hurts to ask nicely! |

I asked the rep TWICE if I needed the new router and she assured me I wouldn't. She said if there were any "problems" to call back.
I know from reading other posts this is a common issue. One friend just did the same thing and they allowed him to exchange his olde router for the newer one. He's only getting 25.5/30 with his fairly new MAC sitting only a couple of feet away from the router. |

That will almost guarantee you a free replacement. |

I wouldn't do that working for VZ. thats a bit dishonest. and you wouldn't get a wireless N gigabit router anyways. good luck. |
