How much does your internet cost when you get 50+mb/second download?
Just for giggles try that same slower server again. I noticed that when we switched to the higher rate FIOS service - the upload still seemed throttled the first time I checked. Looks like you have the same Tier FIOS service I do. Are those tests being done over your wireless connection?
Of course - things move slower just generally in Frederick. I actually wouldn't mind moving out that direction.
I'm going to guess that they're throttling uploads at that test site.
Not terribly pleased with having to ten-digit dial phone numbers (even local ones). That's kind of pathetic, seeing as how Verizon is primarily a phone company.
It would definitely appear so. They must be 'anti-server'.
I don't know if the 10-digit phone numbers is a Verizon thing or not - although it's interesting that you didn't have to do that until you switched. Ever since we moved to Maryland - we've had to do that - it was a shock to the system back then - but I guess I sort of assumed that the days of not dialing the area code were over. Perhaps that only applies to overly populous areas like down here. But - now that you've highlighted the change - I realize that we've had Verizon phone service from day 1 in Maryland. I need to poll some people without Verizon and see if they have to dial the area code. I know that at work I still have to use the area code - even for local numbers.
