QUOTE(BuffaloHELP @ Feb 8 2006, 01:49 AM)  I have had Verizon DSL since November 2004. This was when Verizon still charged $29.95 (USD) for 768 down and 128 up. When November 2005 came around I was eligible for the same plan at $14.95. Still the same speed with half the money. Excellent! I too experienced problems with speed. It's a well known fact that if you are living far away from your server node (that is, what Verizon call it as the closest server exchange station). But I'm living less than 1 mile. But my download speed kept dropping down to 256, 64 or even will not connect at all. When I called Verizon, they sent out a technician and started to test out my home phone jacks. It was fine (of course, I ran CAT6 and CAT5e for network and phone line, respectively). Then the technician tested out the outside (NID box) line and found that some wires were damaged due to prolonged weather exposure. After changing to updated wire standard, I now have 864 down and 160 up. And I have not lost a connection since then. Which led me to believe that I should have gotten 1.5mb down and 768 up when I was paying for $29.95 (because they told me I was getting the fastest service with that plan--which was 1.5mb speed). But due to poor quality line coming from the telephone pole to my house was never addressed, my speed was affected. I can access my DSL modem. It's from Westell and the model is 2200. Verizon isn't too happy for the fact that this information is out but you can access your modem by 192.168.1.1 and use the default password (if you never set your modem and used software to connect PPPoE) admin, password. You can then edit your login so that your modem can enter your DSL user ID and password for you. I did that so I don't have to run another software in my computer to connect. I have tested my speed http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=2 and at any given day/time I am 701 down and 131 up. Needless to say that I am very satisfied for $14.95 per month. I ran the BroadBandreports download test, and this is the result: QUOTE
2006-02-08 19:00:35 EST: 594 / 128
Your download speed : 594 kbps or 74.2 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 128 kbps or 16 KB/sec.
That's not very impressive for what MetLife pays for our DSL line. And really, my download speeds never reach that speed. BTW, 128 kbps?!?! That's nothing! It takes me about a minute to upload a photo to Simpload. As you can tell, my speeds are pathetic.

I have Verizon DSL and am very happy with it  Yes, it was rather lengthy to install (add on to that some telephone line issues) but since those problems were resolved the service has been excellent. Previously I used AOL, but, um, yeah, had to drop that whole gig.

How are you connected in home networking? Two computers with a router? And this router is from Verizon? Have you or are you using the USB connection or have in the past? And the software you installed from Verizon, is it still present in your computer?

Yeah I have Comcast Cable Internet and it works great but recently my area has had Veriozon Fios service installed and i may switch. This new service by Verizon is 2.5x faster than comcasts cable and it costs only $1 more. Im just hoping it is reliable and you actually get somewhat close to the advertised speed since i definitely dont with Comcast.

We have a Linksys WRT54G WiFI router, one computer connected via ethernet, two connected via Linksys WUSB54G adpters, and one Dell laptop with Centrino. We made shure to shutdown the WinPPPoE client that we originally installed, and configured our router correctly. The modem is connected to the router via ethernet. I don't even know the model of our modem; here's a picture. It's pretty old hardware:

I have Optimum Online. it is fast, but I really dont know why DSL doesn't work fast. I tried dsl and it is faster than 120kbps. I only got Optimum by accident... But Vrizon does work fast. I used it on a Mac computer.\ and it works great.

Basic Ways To Speed Up Your Web Site

These days’ people have high expectations, they expect a web site to load as fast as an application
on their operating system, and therefore even a few seconds of waiting can frustrate them or leave
altogether. A good website should take about 8-12 seconds (for a 56K) to load. The website owner is
going to have to decide how fast its pages are going to be, for example for a multimedia or a flash
site they can afford to be a bit slower than others provided that the users k....
