I came from Cable vision, and now I have 75/75 Fios Quantum. I used to get 20-25 Mbps down/15 up, but now I am getting 15 down and 7.5 up.
Inconsistently, I sometimes get higher. as high as 40/10, but never much better than that.
- Hardware is not the problem. I booted the same PC (HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT, 16 Gb RAM), under Knoppix 7.4.2 and I got as high as 92/75 on a speed test (non-java version and www.speedof.me)
- When I boot up normally under Windows 7, I get usually around 15/7.5, but sometimes higher, as high as 40/10 Mbps down/up.
- When I booted into safe mode with networking, i just now got 43.95/9.97 from speedtest.net
- Same session with speakeasy/speedtest 34.24/8.60
- Same session with speedtest.verizon.net 29.57/12.40
- Same session unders speedof.me 45.35/1.98 (yes, that was not a typo. I only got 1.98 Mbps, and the next try I got 2.10 Mbps).
All of this makes no sense, except to say that the hardware is obviously not the problem since it runs fine under Knoppix, and gives me wonderful speed.
Something is going on under windows, and verizon Premium Support could not find anything, nor think of anything to try.
