I have Verizon Fios 75 down and 35 up. I have been doing speedtests since I have gotten my upgraded service. I live in VA and been having alot of speedtests flucuations just from the DC server. Only a third of the time I get the speed I should be getting which is 88 down from DC. When I speedtest to texas I get about 35 and to the west servers I get about 15 down. I dont even want to try the overseas servers. I just found this link on the web today to improve network performance. I followed all his steps and then went back on testmy.net and tried the same servers I have been trying before. Now I get 88 down from every server in the US. I went and tried the amsterdamn server just to see if it isn't a fluke and I got 50 down from amersterdam. Here is the link if anyone else is having issues with testmy.net not even coming close to what your paying for. http://www.romaco.ca/blog/2011/01/28/how-to-speed-up-windows-7-networking/ *note* I didn't adjust the jumbo packet option because I didn't have that option on my desktop or laptop NIC. I just adjusted the other two options.

Well I have muked around with so much things that I finally fixed it. I went and seatched internet optimzers and finally came across one that worked. I had went to Speedguide.net and got their tcp optimizer. I ran the stand alone program and it had my current settings brought up. It had my download speed capped at 20mpbs. No wonder I was only getting those speeds on here. I changed the speed up to 50mpbs and now I am getting full speeds at the washington dc server. Wow thanks for the suggestions guys. If anyone has a similar problem like me direct them to https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php.

I have hard reset my router twice now. I have checked my computers MTu setting and its at the max of 1500 already.

We are all connected wired ethernet, ps3 is wired too. All gigabit nic cards. I just did another test to the dc server and the texas alternate server and now I have 20 down and 20 up. The Main texas server in still getting 8 down and 8 up. I just got my service pushed up to 50 down and 25 up just yesterday from 20 down and 5 up. Do you think I need to get my Ip released and get a new one?

Update: I just did a speed test on my ps3 and Im getting the same 8 down and 8 up. same as my computer. My parents computer is getting the good speeds as stated above. What the heck is going on? Its just my personal things having bad speeds. I also have static ips on my my mahcines while theirs is dhcp.

I would have to get a techician to come to my home and open up the fios ont to connect directly to the computer. I just tried to run the speed test on explorer 32 bit and explorer 64 bit and im getting 11 down and 7 up. When i use waterfox a 64bit variant of firefox im getting 8 down and 8 up. I want to contact verizon and have them send someone to see if there is a problem but I bet they are going to charge me 100 bucks for the visit. Like I said before Im not having any real world speed problems with my speeds anywhere else, just here. Another thing I will be using my Ps3, my computer and my parents computer. They all use up my full bandwidth and I have no lag from either one of them. I am going to try to find an internet optimizer and see the results after that. Update: I just ran a test on my parents computer and they have a really old computer than mines and they are getting 32 down and 13 up, i used firefox 32bit. I guess its my computer then. Any suggestions about optimizing my computer?

I have done a speed test here and Im getting everytime 8 down and 8 up at the texas site. Dc site im getting 4 down and 4 up. I live in VA. I am paying for 50 down and 25 up Verizon Fios. When i download from steam or other sites im getting the full speeds. When using a download manager Im getting more than full speeds. When I upload to my cloud service im getting more than enough upload speeds im advertised. I dont know why this site is telling me im getting bad speeds? I have tried every other speed test site and they all come back very good give or take. Can someone help me please and explain this because its troubling me.
