I tried calling the support line and I waited on hold for over an hour before I hung up. 

 

Below are the troubleshooting steps I've taken on my own:

Reset network settings

Removed and reinserted sim card

Restarted phone several times

Tested a coworkers phone, who also uses Verizon and has a similar phone. His download speed was around 3Mbps.

 

The only thing that was done prior to this problem was switching data plans, as stated in my first post.

This is extremely frustrating. I pay $300 plus per month for 3 phones and I just want to get the data speeds I've paid for.

I've never waited more than 30 mins to get Tier 2 tech support!  Try calling 611 again and tell the person to stay on the line with you until you get connected to Tier 2 tech support.   They are able to do that... - - Let them know that the "last time" you waited an hour and gave up! - - I know it "should not be this difficult" to get help from Verizon to solve your problem.  - - Years ago, Verizon used to be the BEST.   Unfortunately now, sometimes, they are the WORST! - - Good luck getting someone at Tier 2 Level to help you. 

Btw, it would be best to call them from your work location so they can actually see "real time" what's going on with your connection.

Yes, this is a recent issue.  It started around October 16th (when I changed plans) and is still going on today.
