Blunted 2 Posted March 30, 2006 CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 welcome to the forums i'm guessing your on the 5/30 package? if yes have you tried tweaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koncrete Posted March 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 They should be paying me for the promo but I'll do those for free if they can keep the uptime and speed going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait....I guess we can blame it on the router that was tweaked by their microcode techies.....<snicker> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koncrete Posted March 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 30, 2006 Not paying for the 30, and I dont suspect this will last. I will admit I did get consistent 13-15.5 speeds and 1.7-1.9 speeds every test though the a D-LINK/LINKSYS combo. Now (on the soapbox). They still cannot resolve my FTP issue and the've given up on it leaving me out in the cold. (Even after taking remote control of my PC and digging through my routers, PC, etc. I even signed up for the "Business account" where all ports are supposed to be open. Still out in the cold. Wicked speeds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read back this is one of BIG complaints about FIOS...that people didn't find out about until after they read the very very very fine print. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news..... Oh and no offense taken....I would have responded sooner but I kinda lost track of this thread. Oh they also block IRC and Web serving as well.....not sure how that affects those who want to run game servers (I'm not a gamer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
