6arett Posted May 23, 2005 CID Share Posted May 23, 2005 Thats how my connection used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resijs Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 It's slightly slower then what you really have, but yeah it's still slow. Your connection is 786 with 32 upload, I suggest using the stickied links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punk Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 get rid of verizon, seriously. i had it here (in Va) for about 1.5 years, it started out ok, with little problems. but after about 6 months the speed started to go down, and i started getting a lot of down time. calling them would only get me "we'll put a trouble ticket in" every time i called, which was quite often. i switched to comcast, which has been wonderful for me. it has downtime, but its fixed quickly, and they will work with you if its not on their end.

resijs Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 Location location, comcast is the worst down here, while verizon beats the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmofo Posted May 31, 2005 CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 what package do you have???? I just tested my upload its faster than your download, lol Your connection is: 554 Kbps (about 0.6 Mbps) You uploaded at: 68 kB/s Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 593 Kbps :: 73 kB/s (7% overhead factored) Bottom Line: You are running: 10 times faster than 56K and can upload 1 megabyte in 15.06 second(s) Diagnosis: Looks Great : 17.12 % faster than the average for host (verizon.net) ^ and thats with 3 comps running and the crappy wireless router/modem combo. If you have the old dsl modem use it and you will usually do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daEskimo Posted May 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 31, 2005 Thanks for all your help guys. I believe that my problem lies not in my computer nor router, but w/ Verizon itself right now. I live in Massachusetts, and as i have heard, Verizon has been doing pretty crappy up in the New England area. I plan on calling in and probably upgrading to the 3MB package, which should help me. I hope...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
