hello guys, it's me again!
well, i feel like i'm wasting my extra $10 per month on a verizon dsl plan that i could actually never get.
current plan: downstream 3mbps, upstream 768kbps.
as i have tested for many times, even the hard-wired internet PC can only get the downstream throughput @ 1604kbps, upstream 350kbps.
it seems like i get just a little more than half the total speed for that plan while paying for the full package price. it doesn't sound right to me.
so, is there anything wrong with the phone line? i'm planning to call verizon to ask them about that too. i have switched to a few routers/modems, still the same.
any ideas?
thanks

nope, just call and ask. Sounds like your on a lower plan.

it can't be. mine's Download up to 3 Mbps / Upload up to 768 Kbps for $29.xx per month. is verizon cheating? i'm gonna call them tomorrow.
-
I'm on the same plan, and I get 2800-2900 on my wired tower. It could be the actual telephone lines (condensation, old lines, etc.).
-
LOL. I called tech support and they said i got 1mbps, and i am paying $33 per month for it! i'm calling billing dept tomorrow.

I pay almost $50 a month for TWC "High Speed" Road Runner, but it feels like dial up. All of my friends who live in my neighborhood have one problem or another with their RR, including slow speeds.
I wish Verizon FiOS was available in my area -
I have TWC high speed package as well, and my top speed is 800 KB/s, when no one else is using the internet like at around 3 A.M. Otherwise, the speed drops during the day. -
called Verizon. They said my high speed internet plan could get only up to 1.5mbps in northridge area. no FiOS available either. it just sucks!

Internet companies are held up to no standers in that there internet is suppose to provide because they say "speed is subject to change". They could say 20mb but only provide 1.5 and nothing would be wrong my them.
for example I have 1.5 dsl and we end up getting 1.2 down, .7 up and ping is in the thousands. But we could go to 7 mbps but the down would only go up a little and the up load would stay the same.
verizon dsl 3mb downstream/768kbps downstream
