Also i was wondering which stats do you guys trust most. one from this website or the one from the dsl modem. b/c my dsl modem shows something like this

    Down stream speed 3360kbits's

upstream speed 864 kbits/s

so whish one is more accurate.

The Modem stats are provisioning stats. VZ over provisions in an attempt to "offset" if you will some of the inherent losses. The two stats will not match.  Your measured numbers are a tad low. Have you tried any different test sites or some of the Mirror sites here that may be closer and more accurate for your location ?

i have a linksys cable modem and a linksys wireless router. and i have a gateway wireless router also. can two routers be hooked up together?

example: cable modem to router (1st) to router (2nd)?

Sure, I have the same set up here. Unless you want double NAT for some strange reason.   Just decide which ONE of the routers you want to handle the Routing/Nat, Local DHCP, ETC chores and disable the the same in the other.  Hookup would be, Modem WAN output to the WAN port of the controlling router.  Local switched LAN port of the controlling router to a LAN port of the disabled router. It's now just a switch and Wireless AP.  Sure works great for me turning a $19.95  "Sunday Ad" special wireless router into the same thing as a $89 dedicated wireless AP.    The remaining three switched ports are handy too  HTH

I love it when telemarketers call. I get high and then sit and explain every part of the movie im watching to them. They usually hang up but if they dont I ask them personal questions while I sit on the john.  I love telemarketers.

Please tell me you Actually have a LIFE !!! Please !

Try some other test sites that are closer to you. Here's  some,

https://testmy.net/mirrors.php

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

The closer the test site to you probably the better and faster.

Post back your best speed after trying  several of them.

Where are you? Major City, State.  Yes it makes a difference. 

....how many of you members have dail-up as a backup for when the faster connection is down?

I have dial up as a backup. I have a stand alone 56k modem connected to my Router through the Com port. When DSL goes down, About 1-2 hrs a year,  I can fail over to dial up for the whole network. Slow, but it keeps the e-mail traffic up. 

Question:  anyone have dailup or they on broadband 

Oh,  is "dailup"  some new High Speed connection I've never heard of ??? 

3000/768 DSL Here. 

If you do have to ask for the upgrade, is it extra?

It's possible to get the 3000/768 for $29.00 if your close enough to the CO/RT. Certainly worth a couple of calls to, 1-800-567-6789 Ask for billing. Good luck.

i live in hawaii and they changed verizon dsl to hawaiian telcom dsl..can i still get the 3.0 upgrade?

I think so. I don't believe Hawaiian Telcom has taken over the DSL side yet.

1-800-567-6789 Ask for billing.

How can I get a hold of verizon? To ask if I can upgrade? Thanks.

what do u guys think about pricewatch.com

Their good for price comparisons. In additions to their rating of vendors, also use http://resellerratings.com/ to check the vendor(s) out. There are some really bad ones out there. Beware. Have fun, your CC balance will never be the same again. Lol

They do maintance on the weekend nights.  Yes they have been "attacked" a number of times recently. Guess some people disagree with some of Justin's policies or what ever. No I'm not offended. I've been active on BBR since 2001, same user name, and I think  competition is good thing. I joined here just for that reason.  It's looking good here so far and I hope it continues to grow.  Looking forward to some West Coast operating speed test site(s) here the future.

Portforward.com does have the instructions for the 400 version of your 410. Since their in the same series I doubt that the setup for the 410 is radically different. I'll bet between those instructions and the Manual kindly supplied to you, you can figure it out.  Be sure to know the local IP of the machine your trying to forward to when setting up the router. You'll figure it out. What's the worse that can happen ?... You reset the router, and try again. 

You don't say what speed package you have. You posted test shows you to be on the money for the 1500/384 package.   At the bottom where it says "48.58 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) " that's in comparison to the folks with 3000/768 like me.So don't be misguided. If you are on the 3000/768 then further exploration is required. Your geographic location can also make a huge difference on speed tests. Trying to speed test half way across the continent  just doesn't work. This site is in Texas and if your on on one of the Coasts, forget any reliable results from  it. They do offer some mirror test sites, try the ones closest to you.. As mentioned above the Wireless b/g world is the FCCs Part 15 unlicensed Wild West. All sorts of things operate there and inference is possible if not likely, and " must be accepted ". Wired networking is faster, more secure, and reliable. HTH

Modem is Westell wirespeed 2100.

That's unusual. Normally Verizon (VZ) supplied the 2200 in the NE. Hmmm...

I am from NYC, Brooklyn 11230

There may be part of the problem. As VZ is having major routing/capacity  problems in the NE states currently, with no repair date available. 

Try some speed tests here, http://nyc.speakeasy.net/ , here  http://wdc.speakeasy.net/

Also try a couple of the testmy. net mirriors in the NYC area here, https://testmy.net/mirrors.php

Try to run these tests as late in the evening as posibile. 1 AM to 6 AM local would be best to avoid the daytime and evening slowdowns in your area. The problem is that the on going problems with VZ is probibly masking what's realy happening with your connection. Post back the results of your best test.

Lastly how do I replace the LAN line?? The one that runs from the outside.. would I have to call a service guy to do it? Is it free? Has anyone called their LAN line provider for a replacement before?

I wasn't quite shure what you meant about " LAN line"  LAN, Local Area Network usally means what's on the local side of the modem/router. Those cables/connectors  can go bad. Your speaking of the Telco Drop, Totaly different. Yes they too can go bad but not very offten. To replace that would require the Voice/telephone side of VZ to replace. Verizon DSL CSRs would be totaly clueless what you were talking about.

Welcome quacko27 to the Verizon Online Forum @ testmy.net ! 

A couple of questions for you to help nail down some things.

How do you know you have the 1500/128,384 package ?

What modem do you have ? FULL and complete Make and Model PLEASE . Turn the modem over and on the bottom  there will be a sticker with Model No. ETC.

Where are you? City & State is close enough. No, we won't stalk you..

Do you use PPPoE or DHCP ?

Are you using a router ?

Have you tried replacing the "my actual LAN line is faulty? " They can become faulty/intermittent.

Yours 

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum, found it by googling what would I do without it . Anyways, I use Verizon Online DSL with the Westell Versalink Modem with router the status says I have a speed of 100.0 Mbps. .....

....Do you think my Upload Speed is a little slow and how can I tweak it? I live in NYC, maybe traffic is just high I don't know any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the site. 

Your download looks about right. Your upload is a tad low.  I'll assume your on the 3000/768 package. Your correct about the NYC area being congested. Verizon is aware of the problem, but has no ETA on repair.   Try some speed test(s) closer to you, as network congestion can pretty significant impact on your results. Try a couple of these closer to you. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ or the Mirrors on the test page. I believe there's a couple in the NYC area. https://testmy.net/mirrors.php This site is apparently in Texas and the routing to from the West coast is a speed killer. Probably the same for you.  Try a couple of those and lets us know how it works out for you. Oh, the 100 Mbs your seeing is your  local Ethernet connection.  Good luck.

i have 4 - 5 on my first hop

Gee, I only have SIX (6) ms to my first hop ... I feel bad.    As I said, Deferent expectations. 

p.s. It's the routing that counts after the first hop ! 

12 ms to your 1st hop is kind of high.. 

12 ms to the first hop is high !?? WoW ! maybe high expectations is more like it !  Lots of folks, especially gamers on , Cable or DSL would DIE for that first Hop.  Different perspectives I guess.

They keep moving into the "better-off" towns first.

Cherry picking !??  They wouldn't do that ! 

is it anoying, to often or what ?

Not now, AD block took care of it !. 

Im on DSL type thing, using the modem that came with the AOL pack. Someone said it may have been my phone company putting a cap on my line making it 256

I'm not sure if they still do it. Back a couple years ago the AOL, Earthlink types just resold  the local Telco DSL.  Most Telcos cap the Resellers DSL at lower rates than their own DSL. No way to increase speed due to contracts between  the Telco and  reseller(s). Not sure if they do that with resold Covad.  The only way usually is to get the Telcos full speed DSL is to drop the reseller, (AOL in this case) and sign up with the local Telco. HTH

Yup, just about right for SBC 1500/384. Time to upgrade to the SBC "PRO" tier, 3000/512.  http://www02.sbc.com/DSL_new/content/1,,90,00.html?
