tbaker397 Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 hey jordan, how ya doin! Are you PPPoE or DHCP? It looks if your running at PPPoE your about as good as your going to get. Call verizon and ask if your on Interleave or Fastpath, if on Interleave, asked to be changed. Go to http://www.broadbandreports.com/prequal/distance and see if you can get a distance check. If your under 13000 call verizon and ask to be upgraded to 1.5/384 See if you can get a new firmware upgrade for your Router. Just a little info, your download is 85% of your advertised speed, your upload is at 104% of your advertised. It looks like your line can handle more. Hope this helps!

tbaker397 Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Call them up, ask if your are eligible and what they say your distance is. If you are eligible, ask them to upgrade you, if they give you a price over, say 29.99, ask them if you could get the price if you renewed your contract(1 year). if not, threaten to cancel and see what they do for you then.

Jordan23 Posted August 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 lol what service line should i call them on? billing? and when i ask them if im eligible to be upgraded, i asked if i can be upgraded to 1.5/384what(kb?,mb?) lol. And i already signed up for their 2 year contract thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Just ask for billing at the automated voice . The price is $29.95 if you have Verizon Encore ($37.95 if you do not) . You should be available for the 1.5Mbps/384 or 768 Kbps . You will expect the change immediately or may take up to 3 days to receive the full amount of the service. And also your bill cycle will change to up to 5 days earlier than it normally arrives and is due . I believe if you live close to 7000 feet , you can get the 3.0Mbps/768Kbps connection for the same price but it is determined by your distance from your location to the CO that will be more efficiant. Hope this works for you Jordan23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
