ISP Speed Test / Satisfaction

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…

I’m payin’ $37.99/month & my bill don’t say what plan I have. I have n’t had any more time to deal with this, but I want to upgrade to the 7.1kbps plan if I can. If fios is only $40/month then it’s a win/win. I will call them tomorrow if I get a chance.
