fios is awesome!!! Just saying

exodusprime1337 · Mar 28, 2011

So the fios guys are here hooking up my new internet and they just brought me the router so i could get back online, i only paid for the 25/25 connection and i'm getting 39/30 no problem!!! way better than the crap cox connection i had which was 20/5 and i was only getting like 11/3 lol

Worthless without speedtest.net result!

Easy Rhino · Mar 28, 2011

i also have the 25/25 connection from FIOS. you will see in the coming hours that your bandwidth evens out to the speed you pay for. if not they didn't set it up right and you win!

Wrigleyvillain · Mar 28, 2011

Not FIOS but when I recently had my cable upgraded from 8Mb to 30 but my older router was holding it back somehow. Just a friendly reminder that you should try direct from modem to a PC if it doesn't seem as fast as it should be...

Other way around Speedtest is pretty worthless. I get worse pings of there site than i actually do in games.

95Viper · Mar 28, 2011

Fios does not use a modem, such as cable...

@exodusprime1337>

Did the use ethernet or the rg cable to run it?
Which router did they give you?
Just curious.

you kinda have to do direct from modem to pc as the switch/router is built into the modem

here are the speeds to new york from rhode island look at the ping time haha

i have ethernet coming out of the modem, and the router is Actiontec MI424WR Gen2

95Viper · Mar 28, 2011

Yep, I was going to say, it looks like you got the same package I got, too. 35/35

Test your connectinon here: Verizon Broadband Speed Test
After the test, click on the word "here" in the sentence: "Your connection speed test has finished. You can review test details here."
It will give you a little more detail.
It a test from client(you end) to server(verizon) and server to client.

Oh, and, make sure you have the latest firmware for the model of router you have.
They updated some to wireless-n in the newer ones and some lucky people got the new GigE routers.

STFU!!! I hate you all. FiOS decided to stop expanding less than 3 miles from my house.

Sorry, I only handled central VA. They are starting back up here to meet the requirements of area coverage agreed on with the localities.
:ohwell:

the hadn't expanded to my part of the city here in rhode island, a few of us went door to door and collected signatures, got about 2800 people to sign over a 4 month period, presented it to verizon and had fios less than 2 months later lol. we all hate cox out here, if you pay for 20/5 connection you get 5/5 lol

95Viper · Mar 28, 2011

They will. We were, also, doing that with the DSL coverage. If enough were to agree to sign-up in an area, then if, they decided it would be feasible and they would be able to re-coup the cost in a certain amount of time, engineering would approve it.

Money, money, money... profits are what it is all about.

Wrigleyvillain · Mar 28, 2011

Aw that REALLY sucks Haru esp knowing your present connection situation.

ctrain · Mar 28, 2011

I get this off my 25/25 and it's been pegged here since a couple days after installation.

New Hampshire is a dead zone for FiOS... Comcast should be fined for being a monopoly, because DSL isn't any better than tin cans and string.

Jstn7477 · Mar 28, 2011

My parents were the first to have FiOS in their subdivision back in late 2006 in Sarasota, FL. Hard to believe we've already had it for almost 5 years already. Their package has received free upgrades several times, and I think it's at 30/30 or something now.

It takes a lot of monies(you would not believe the cost in just passing a 100 home area), legal work, permissions(community/local ,state, & federal) and such to lay fiber. If you are in a residential area and not in a remote spot. You might get it one day.

They are in New Hampshire.
Verizon FiOS New Hampshire - Manchester, NH is on the list, might not be in your neighborhood though.

Where is Fios Available?

Here is a couple of other speed tests you people may like.

Visualware-Myspeed
You can choose different views and has some useful info.

This one will :
Located at Newport News, VA;
This java applet was developed to test the reliablity and operational status of your desktop computer and network connection. It does this by sending data between your computer and this remote NDT server. These tests will determine:
The slowest link in the end-to-end path (Dial-up modem to 10 Gbps Ethernet/OC-192)
The Ethernet duplex setting (full or half);
If congestion is limiting end-to-end throughput.

It can also identify 2 serious error conditions:
Duplex Mismatch
Excessive packet loss due to faulty cables.
Jefferson Lab Web100 based Network Diagnostic Tool (NDT) This is my favorite to date.
Be sure to click the details and other stats buttons at the bottom of the test window.

DaveK · Mar 28, 2011

I wish Fiber Optic was available here, it's only in a few small housing areas and is quite expensive. But hey, at least I get "fiber power" cable! Have a 30/3 package with an actual speed of 10/2.5

bswavey · Mar 28, 2011

i'm still stuck at 1.5MB in northwest MO. That's the fastest the phone company offers, and there is no cable here. Just sayin'....

it's horrible. I swear, once verizon gets 4G coverage to Indianapolis I am just going to ditch my DSL line. it is that slow.

exodusprime1337 · Mar 28, 2011

i just like how it says my internet is faster than 99% of Americans lol.
