Guest helloimtim Posted April 11, 2005 CID Share Posted April 11, 2005 Sorry all. I have to disagree with you on this one. That is forsure not a tweak issue or fix. He has either a bad connection or some major major virus issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmcguirk Posted April 11, 2005 CID Share Posted April 11, 2005 Just to throw in my 2cents. When I called verizon today about upgrading to the faster 3.0 Mbps, they checked what I have now and said that the .7Mpbs was what they were offering when I signed up a year or so ago. They have upgraded it to 3Mpbs and said I should see the diference in a day or two depending on the backlog of people getting upgraded. So you might want to give verizon a call in addition to the advice you get from the helpful folks here on the forum. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
