I've used Verizon in various services for years on my own, never had much problems with them. I then moved in and started taking care of my very elderly grandfather, he uses Verizon internet/phone. He has the 3.1-7mbps connection, and for the $50+ he pays I don't consider it a great deal in the least. But, the point is for the last year since March of last year till about march of this year we reguarly got about 3mbps off and on, despite the fact the service is for 3.1-7 MBPS I have never seen above I think 3.5 in any test every done. Well for the last month give or take, that's tanked into the crapper hard, last few days it's been about 1.2mbps if lucky. My grandfather wanted to get FIOS, cause it was fast and decently affordable but verizon refuses to install it cause apperntly something about being in a manufactured home park is against their policy or some crap.
So I decided to post on these great forum, hoping perhaps someone could point me in a direction. I tried using the 'help' files and I use that word lightly to see if they had any recomondations and about laughed myself to death as one of their 'recomondations' is to clean your HDD and have plenty of space which in no way would effect internet speed. So here I am. I have run several different speed tests on several different sites and different places. Averaing a 34ms ping, 1.2mbps down, .75mbps up. Am wondering if I am going to be forced to get a Tech to come out and do real physical work out here.
