[QUOTE="musicyardmalibu, post: 737879, member: 70026"] [b]Mac/Verizon slow connection[/b] I too have been having a problem with my Verizon connection. I swapped from Charter for the fast connection but immediately I lost my ability to use Ichat / video - with my family overseas. I contacted Verizon and set the ports etc on the admin page but that did not work. My internet speed is fast if I sit next to the modem with a hard connection via ethernet, but I still have no video chat I have the Wifi modem (action tech) and even with a full signal I get sluggish pages loading etc. in fact sometimes they even freeze. The Verizon tech came out to trouble shoot the problem and with his old school PC laptop (a quarter of the power of my 3 macs) his internet was blazing fast. Verizon and action tech say they cannot do anything to help me in regards to troubleshooting the mac. not much help. Also I tried using Skype with my family and I managed a audio connection on both ends - my mother can see me on video but i cannot see her ? more voodoo! Does anyone know if there is a fix for all this or would I have been better sticking with Charter? [/QUOTE]
