Lately I been getting really slow speeds and I have the 3.0Mbps Plan with Verizon for about 4 years now. I called the customer representative and they couldn't fix it for me... I have the Westell 2200. Has anyone else had the same problem lately or has the same modem as me? I am located in NYC. Here are my speedtest results

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but it seems Verizon in this state is now selling their top package with the following now.
(up to 768 Kbps) is the fastest and only package they now offer, Maybe they have oversold their allocated amount and are now having issues?
We used to be able to get a 1.5Mb pack, not no more.

Verizon suck balls.
