Petch, the reason for your slower than advertised DSL:

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Hahah, I haven't seen those commercials in a long time.  Good stuff.

Ya, I'm only like 200-250ft from my local node, so that really shouldn't account for all of the bandwidth loss that I see.  I just believe that Verizon's service blows.

that was actually after re-testing 3 times in a row to try to make sure i wasn't using the blast/burst speed boost.  My download stayed around 23mb and my upload ranged from 2.0 to 2.3mb

I just believe that Verizon's service blows.

And yet, Verizon's ISP service ratings are still higher than Comcast, with Verizon DSL just barely above Comcast cable, and Verizon FIOS being at the very top.

Verizon is also boosting their FIOS speeds next week.

Quote
"The appetite for bandwidth shows no signs of slowing down. Neither will we," Strigl said in his remarks. "We've already had successful trials of the 100-megabit home, which will be a reality faster than anybody thinks."

The 50/20-Mbps and 20/20-Mbps FIOS services have been available in Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. Verizon will expand those offerings to new Verizon FiOS customers in parts of California, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, replacing existing offerings of 30/15-Mbps and 15/15-Mbps services.

The midtier connection speed in those markets for new customers is being increased to 20/5-Mbps from 15/2-Mbps, and the basic service tier is being increased to 10/2-Mbps from 5/2-Mbps.

I know that doesn't help you with your internet issues, sorry Petch hehe, but still cool for me =X

Thanks agent.  I've read similar but nowhere with the detail of what you found.  This seriously could not have come at a better time.  My 6 months of having the comcast premier speed for $30 is about up and i was going to have to beg them to extend it or to switch to verizon.  Now, i'll either have a lot better ammo to get comcast to keep prices low, or i'll just switch.

About 8 months ago, my apartments had Verizon come in and pre-wire every apartment for fios.  My closet already has a new electrical outlet and all coax (and phone lines) pulled to one spot, so all they have to do is bring in the modem and hook it up.
