Verizon has been having these issues 3-4 years now. The speed results fluctuate fom time to time. Downloading becomes very slow.... same with page loading...
I've ran a traceroute earlier and here are the results...

Those are the results to two sites.As you can see the same 4th hop on both results, are high. So that does mean its within the Verizon network. At times when its fully intermittent, when I try to surf the web or download something (Even a 50mb file) it takes for ever as if your on dial up.
This is not acceptable.. I've been having this issue for the past 3 years it comes and goes. Thjis is certainly not what I want to pay for the service. its 2014 for Gods sake. With high class Fiber optics running at the premises, this is not acceptable.
Please, Verizon.. All I want a reliable connection with no latency. I pay for my service and I deserve the reliablity and speed,
