I'm supposed to be getting 20/5 now - I'm getting close to the 5, but I'm not testing anywhere close to 20.

Same, here .. well, 20/2.

Try testing your speed to a different, further away server.

Nick - are you using a wireless router? I'm wireless, which I understand my be contributing to the less than optimal speeds that I'm experiencing - although I do get better results when using my laptop from work (only a few months old) vs my 5+ year old home desktop PC.

With FiOS, Verizon sets up a router in your home and, in most instances, your home PC connects with a wireless card, as does mine. The router is used for internet service, as well as allowing you to access media files on your PC from the multi-media HD DVR - in other words, I can access photos and music on my PC from my HD receiver. Great for slide shows on the HD TV!

Andrew,

My speeds are indeed via desktop [aka LAN].

aahhhhhh (heavy sigh).......

after one hour + in phone calls, reboot after reboot, one missed appointment, several outages, a new modem with a 1/2 hour technician call (all free)...


It turns out my modem was the wrong type (??)...data ports crossed in lane...never have had high speed until today.

buggers!!!

At the office, with 11 employees ... ::

That would be a T1.5, for those of you keeping track.
