Can you get a better speed test? I'm a bit confused by "100.0 mpbs" Try http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97 and you should get something like this: Quote:

dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-02-22 15:39:49 EST: 279 / 129 Your download speed : 279 kbps or 34.9 KB/sec. That is 89.1% worse than avg. other reports from verizon.net Your upload speed : 129 kbps or 16.1 KB/sec. That is 80.4% worse than avg. other reports from verizon.net |
Either others who did the speed test were using a different verizon plan with higher speeds or there's an issue there. Do you know what your plan with verizon is. eg: I'm on a 256/64 kbps plan with my isp. I get speeds of 27 KB/s & 7 KB/s. ie: some loss due to overheads such as distance from phone company, loss due to hardware, etc. I'm on the lowest speed plan my isp offers. If I were richer then I'd go for the next higher up. :D |
No IDK |
Call Verizon's help desk and ask them about that speed. As LOTR pointed out, Verizon probably has various speed packages. Better yet, run the test several times when all other internet apps (like LimeWire) are not running, to make sure it wasn't just an unlucky test. Let us know what they say (and the other speeds you get), and we can test what kinds of speeds you get with LimeWire next. |
I ran like 3 tests and they all turned out close. (within a few kbps of each other) that test a few posts up is a test w/o limewire. |
