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.

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) [![http://www.speedtest.net/result/386112577.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/b/eb3dd4c4db5699ea0e7da38bf3eb49314749601a.png)](http://www.speedtest.net) this blows… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/isp-speed-test-satisfaction/197447)._
