HSI Intermittent and Laggy

Hello,

I hope someone on this forum can truly help me because Verizon support sucks.

I've had Verizon High Speed Internet since December 2010 and since December, I've had nothing but problems with this internet service. My internet connection will drop randomly, at different times, and it makes game play (XBox 360) very laggy.

Connection on the laptop seems to be OK at times and then it will run at a snail pace for a few hours and then pick back up again.

Connection on the Xbox is straight garbage. We play XBox Live a lot and therefore need a reliable connection to host games or even participate in a game without lagging or having a jumpy connection.

We also run a PS3, in which if the Xbox Live player is playing online, the PS3 player cannot play online or watch movies through Netflix at the same time because the connection on the Xbox Live will become laggy or just crash all together.

I've contacted Verizon support every month since December about this and just recently, 2 days ago. They told me I would have a solution today, but I've heard that before. I keep suggesting that they send a tech to my house and of course, they want to troubleshoot and do everything else besides send a tech.

Any suggestions on my issue? I'm sure my issue is probably someone else's issues as well, so ANY help is greatly appreciated.

It would help to know at least:

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#2 What is the brand and model of your router?

Verizon sent us a Westell 7500 and I'm running on a laptop using Windows 7. Also, this connection is only bad at my home. If I go to my grandmother's home and use her internet, which is in the same state and she uses Verizon as well, it's just fine. No lag, no dropped connection...Perfect.

UPDATE~

Verizon informed me that my intermittent connection would be fixed by 5/20. It is now 5/22 and after two calls to Verizon, I am still on hold with one representative because they didn't fix "jack". I asked them NOT to run a test on my line but to get their "donkeys" out here and fix my "freaking" connection ASAP. They are sending a tech tomorrow between 8am-12pm.

I will update on what they find/figure out because this is freaking ridiculous.

Advice to those wanting Verizon as their internet provider~RUN...and don't look back.

UPDATE~

Verizon has no confirmation/knowledge of a tech being sent to my home today. Yet...they set the appointment last night at 6:33pm...so how would they not have the confirmation?!?!?!

These incompetent {word filter avoidance} have gotten on my last nerve.

Can ANYONE help me with my connectivity issues because obviously I'm about to get certified as a Verizon HSI tech to fix my own connection issues?? Smiley Mad

Please somebody help me. I have called Verizon 3 times today and am now on the phone with another supervisor who does not know what he is talking about. I have posted my stats below. I am clueless to what is going on and what can be done b/c Verizon support is NO help whatsoever. Please help!

#1 Did you try connecting the modem to the NID?

If not, try that so that we can know if the issue is OR is not about your inside phone lines.

#2 If you don't know what a NID is, look at

#1 In the Westell go to Advanced -> Private LAN OR Advanced -> IP Address Distribution (which ever exist in your router{

#2 What is the Starting and Ending IP Address?

#3 In the Westell go to Advanced -> Universal Plug and Play OR Advanced -> UPnP (which ever exist in your router)

#4 What is the current setting?

#5 Do you have both the Xbox and the Playstation on at the same time OR do you use only one at a time?
