the attached picture are the old plans, right?  I would sure love to have 20mbps/5mbps as well if it's still being offered

It's just a general problem in my area during nights (after 8-9) (bellrose.. queens, ny).  My transfer rate will be okay now since it's 5:50pm.  It's been this way for months. 

I saw this thread and realized there are many people in the same boat as me that live in queens.  Supposedly the 3-5 months of slowness during nights is due to upgrades.  Someone said it should be better by the end of summer but we'll have to see.

like someone mentioned download a large file from microsoft.....

what large file?  If you're referring to service pack 2, I have that.

they got some new nice plans, i love the 5Mbps upload for only 44.95 a month. currently its only in newyork but should be making its way around soon.

where'd you see that?  I just went to the main verizon fios site and this is all I'm seeing:

One Year Agreement

Up to 5 Mbps/2 Mbps FREE $34.95

Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps FREE $44.95

Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps FREE $179.95

Not available in my area yet (bellerose, ny).  I called them and a rep said it will be available this december

Still doesn't seem like it can compete with verizon fios or optimum online, even if it does get faster.  Currently paying $60 for very bad connection in the nyc area!
