[southeast] Got dropped from 25Mbit to 15Mbit today, anyone elseI've always had the 15/5 FIOS Internet package, but ever since day one, my actual speeds were always 25Mbit down (just over 3 megs/sec). Today, I got dropped to 15Mbit (about 1.8 megs per sec), just wondering if this happened to anyone else? Not complaining, the extra speed was nice while it lasted, just curious. |

Yep, I'm in the same boat. I have the 15/5 plan, enjoyed the faster speeds just as you had. Sometime over the last couple days it dropped back to the advertised rates.
I guess all good things come to an end!
I'm in Philly, for what it's worth. |

My 15/5 plan still has fluff.  |

 25/25 plan here... upload has always been crap and dealing with Vz support is such a pain in the rear.. just decided it... it wasn't worth the hassles to try and get the speed i am suppose to be paying for. |

I'm in Virginia. So it looks like PA and VA are the only affected areas so far. |

Exactly the same thing here (Freehold NJ), as of Sept. 16. |

Peter & Mark (and anyone else affected), are you going to pay the extra $15 or whatever it is to officially upgrade to 25Mbit?
I'm thinking about it, but will probably just suffer with 15Mbit. |

I have the 15/5 plan but have always enjoyed the faster speeds described by the OP.
I just checked and that is no longer the case. No more upgraded speed for me! |

Not having the fluff any more kind of stings... but I think I'll stick to 15/5 for now. I really did appreciate the extra speed while they offered it!
I can't say I really "need" more than the 15/5, but it was just a really nice-to-have. |

I also saw my fluff disappear last week. I tried talking to them today about it, but there's nothing they could do. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully next year 25/25 will become the base package so that I can get my speed back. |
|

I really thought that 25/25 would be the base by now, especially since it was unofficially for at least 14 months anyways. |

I have 15/5 and still get 25/25. I recently got a letter though that said my price will increase from 49.99 to 54.99 after the 1 year contract ends, it looks like when that happens is when it will switch to the new 15/5 plan that doesn't have fluff. I got my service installed on AUG 24, 2009 btw, so if it's going to change it will be very soon.  |

We are being charged $5/month more and lost the fluff |

I don't think I got a letter -- but now I know to expect one. Normally I'd be annoyed to pay an extra $5 for slower speeds, but it was really just a bonus in the first place so I can't be tooo disappointed. I'm going to give it a couple months to see how badly I miss the faster speeds and decide then whether to pony up to the 25/25. This is probably their master plan, anyway.  |

15/5 in Florida...no speed drop.  |

Seems like a very slow rollout of slower speeds. Makes me sad to know it's coming. =( |
