When I run a speed test, I get 15ms latency, 39.76 Mbps down, and 38.84 Mbps up.
But a site from which I download regularly (using FTPS) has recently (end of November/beginning of December) dramatically dropped in speed. Instead of my old >1 MBps per connection average, I began seeing 50 KBps, then 40 KBps, and today 30-32 KBps.
Since it's mostly one site, I'd really lean toward that site having the issue, but I contacted that site first, and a traceroute from their end seems to break down after reaching Verizon:

That's a lot of packet loss once things hit verizon routers. It starts to worryingly feel like throttling.
I know this is fuzzy. Like I said, the Verizon Speed Test still says everything is hunky-dory. That said, I'm not paying for FIOS in order to get 256 Kbps downloads.
Any thoughts?
