samrog777 Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 I just fot FIOS as well, but am seeing speeds around the 5mbps range. Have a linksys wireless broadband-g router and doing the test from my iMac (wireless). Have tested from my XP systems (both wired & wireless) with about the same results. Now, 5m is really good compared to the dsl I came from. But the 12m you are reporting is completely awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 5, 2006 CID Share Posted January 5, 2006 What package do you have? If you have the 5m package then you are getting good speeds, but if you have the 15 then you should do some tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig229 Posted January 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 6, 2006 If u ordered the 15m package you should be getting that speed. I ordered it and they had me down as 5m and had to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fios_dude Posted May 20, 2006 CID Share Posted May 20, 2006 The Verizon On-Line Help section has an automatic "Tweak" for FIOS users. It adjusts the MTU and Rcv Window settings on your pc. It works without any manual input from the user. You can also revert back to your previous settings with the click of the mouse. (This is what the installers usually use) http://netservices.verizon.net/portal/site/msa/index.jsp?case=speed_optimizer. Also, I have found that some NIC's will not automatically switch to 10/100 when hooked up to a 15/2 or 30/2 package, which will cause your speeds to hoover in the 9-10mbps range. Simply deleting your NIC and rebooting to install it should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
