Yea the optimizer on Verizons site didnt make any difference.
3  Main Forum / Networking and Hardware / Vista and the Actiontec Router from Verizon on: March 25, 2009, 03:08:32 PM
I have had FIOS for a little over 2 years now. Up until about 2 months ago all machines in the house ran either XP Pro or XP X64. I recently built both my wife and myself new machines and because of a lack reliable drivers on XP X64 we moved to Vista 64. Ever since our connection with the Actiontec router has been kind of flakey. I subscribe to the 20/5 package and I usually have to reboot the router 2-3 times a day to keep us running at the rated speed otherwise the connection speed plummets (from 20mbit to around 1mbit). Anyone have similar experiences.

BTW I had Verizon send me a new router but that didnt resolve the issue. Should I just go buy my own?

I feel your pain man. I have tried everything from IE-7 to Opera with no luck. There is no way I am going back to regular XP though.

nice speeds, i think verizon is allowing too much bandwidth to residential users tho, no one needs those speeds at home

I think I do need those speeds. This is only one of 5 computers on my network at home. Its a worst case scenario however, I think it would kind of suck to have to split a 5 mbit connection 5 ways.

But it will come back to bite them in the ass one day because verizon doesn't exactly have a lot of spar bandwidth in there network. 

I hope they have enough common sense to fix any bandwidth issues on their side before offering faster packages to a wider range of people....

I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro X64 and everytime I run the speedtest now the 5 meg speed test stops halfway through.

Current settings:
RWIN = 1045440
MTU = 1500

I have fios 20/5 package. Other machine completes the test fine.

I can complete other tests ok but the speed is a little lower than before the reinstall.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I tried Verizon's registry file but it did not seem to change anything.

hey post an upload plz

Sorry for the late response. Here is a result from [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming]
]
And Upload From here.

I get about 4600-4700 upload on the Verizon speed test so I am not getting my whole upload but I am not going to complain. I only pay 45.99 a month. RR only offers 10/2 for 49.99 here. You might get that if you are lucky.
FiOS is a wondeful thing.

I talk to a tech @ROADRUNNER he says it'll be 30meg soon and then two other packages for a higher price 45meg and a 100meg ,there trying to keep things going (they know VERIZON FIOS IS OUT THERE)

I look forward to that. Last time RR upped the speed in my area I went from 15/2 to 20/5 smitten

Just...Wow.

Quote
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old SiGBritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said.

In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer — many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit.

The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said.

With file test
Not so bad

What does the final time and speed show as after the d/l is complete? Just curious because mine was showing 2 minutes remaining at 2.61Mbps and after it completed it came out as 2.05Mbps average and took 4 minutes 9 seconds to complete.

I thought my 512 mb download in just over 4 minutes and 22Mbps test speed was pretty speedy......(in Tampa btw). That article compares the US average of 1.9 Mbps to Japan at 61Mbps however I think the 61Mbps connection they mention for Japan is the exeption not the rule. Most cities in the US have cable connections of around 5-7Mbps available to them. I think its the rural areas that skew our average. Japans average is higher however its a smaller country and the large majority of its population live in cities. Tokyo has a monsterous average connection speed.
Just out on Drudge Report

U.S. Net access not all that speedy
