php Posted June 2, 2005 CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 welcome to the forum Banedor what's your advertised speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banedor Posted June 2, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 Well, I'm assuming I'm on the 1500/380ish plan... I'm scoring just under 1.5megs which leads me to believe that. Testmy is saying the average is around 3.2megs but I'm not sure if you start at 3meg or 1.5meg and yu have to ask for the upgrade. If you do have to ask for the upgrade, is it extra? I'm on the $29.90ish plan that I just started today so I'm not sure if Verizon starts you off at 1.5megs and you have to get the upgrade.

Mactron Posted June 2, 2005 CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St3laras Posted June 9, 2005 CID Share Posted June 9, 2005 I upgraded my speed and now this is my connection::::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 2907 Kbps about 2.9 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 355 kB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Test Time:: Thu Mar 31 18:41:13 EST 2005 Bottom Line:: 52X faster than 56K 1MB download in 2.88 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 20.52 % faster than the average for host (verizon.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-N0BC7O35U Just call them up and tell them you would like to upgrade your speed to 3.0Mbps and they will Renew your contract and they going to tell you if you want to cancel your plan before the contract is over its going to cost you like 30-45 dollars and stuff like that Its not that hard> Its worth it!!!
