FiOS Quantum 150/65 Package Upgrade --> Not Getting The Speeds...

Well good evening my fellow FiOS kittehs 🙂

I recently upgraded from 35/35 to 150/65 and today the VZ tech came to my house....My house was already pre-wired for FiOS when I purchased it four years ago....Thank You Baby JeeBus 😛

Also my house is all ethernet and the tech removed my old DPON unit and put in a new GPON unit also he installed the new Actiontec Wireless N Router the red one with two antennae on it....I am using ethernet and my speedtests are 75 - 95 down and 40 - 50 up.....I am like **bleep**??!! I have a gig nic in my PC and for the love of God I cannot figure out why I am not getting the speeds at least somewhere in the ball park of say like 100ish down....Hmmmm....My NIC is Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller with the latest drivers as of today (4/2012)....So I am stuck guys any suggestions to help me out??!!

Thanks.....

FYI --> I live in the Washington, DC Metro Area

make sure your hardwired when testing
test @ http://speedtest.verizon.com/fios300/
After it's done, click on analysis and copy and paste those results here.

you may need to optimize the PC you can do that @ www2.verizon.net/help/fios_settings/optimizer/

Why does this differ from SpeedTest and SpeakEasy? I am confused by this and thank you for the information 🙂

Glad that helped.

one of the vz specialists has noted the following in various forum posts

the current production Ookla client that the public speedtest.net servers use cannot handle the uploads from FiOS. The new Ookla client software that Verizon is using has been tested to beyond 100Mb uploads....

I had the 150/65 package installed. I am getting around the advertised speeds at the verizon speedtest site

On my laptop I am getting 47 down and 44 up over wifi. I have the new red router with 2 antennas. I understand there is a reduction when using wifi but is this normal. I am happy with the upgrade so far. I had 35/35 before and these speeds are much faster.

I am not getting that level of detailed results when I test, there is no "Analysis" button on my results page.
Perhaps I am not Quantum (or not yet) !!

looks like it doesn't say analysis anymore, but it looks like this

I average about 14 down/8 up. I do have a lot of devices, however it has never been an issue before. I would expect maybe around 30/40 with the amount of devices, but to no luck and no avail. My wireless devices get about 4-5 down, up, I have a hard time calculating. and I constantly run into buffer issues even on wired devices.

I just upgraded to Quantum (75/50) over a month ago and I also am not getting anything near the advertised speeds in my wireless devise. Although I expect speeds not to be at the 75/50 level, I'm very much upset since I only get 15/8, a lot more times much lower (last night, I was surprised to see 1.8/.5.

Several of the last replies would seem be from WIRELESS G connections. You often cannot break 20 mbps for such connections 25 mbps being about max. Verizon's Actiontec routers version F, G, and I are the only Verizon routers that can currently beat that speed. And your wireless devices needs to support wireless N or later.
