ISP Speed Test / Satisfaction

Why don’t you want fios? Its about 1000000x better than DSL. I work for VZ but even I choose comcast over dsl service.

If you really want dsl you should still be able to order it if you are adamant about it. When you are in a fios capable area and call in you go to the fios dept and talk to a rep like me who’s number 1 priority is to try to sell you fios (or else face the consequences if anyone is listening to us lol).

If you want I can check your address and see if I can place a dsl speed upgrade order for you. The crappy part about dsl is that you have to buy the modems unlike fios where they are provided as part of the service.

I speed tested at work today and this is what I get there:

I got a free replacement router/modem from verizon. its the westel 7500

the rep today was telling me that Im on the 1.5mb/sec plan with DSL, and I am $18,000 away from their equipment ( im guessing that a hub or something along those Lines?) He said that even tho im suppose to get 1.5mb download i “could” be getting only 500-700kb/sec because of how far I am away from the “equipment”.
He said I could downgrade to a 768kb plan and that could get me around 800-900kb/sec… I dunno what hes talking about that…

Im paying $33.00 a month for DSL, for Fios Im lookin what? $38/mo 40/mo? then it jacks up after a year to something like 60.xx?

heres my speeds right now after the replacement/upgrade router (westell 7500)

this blows…
