my internet has been acting weird. I was just wondering if there is some kind of outage in florida affecting internet speeds.
Are you by any chance located in or near Tampa Bay?
yes i am
There have been reports of issues with service in Tampa recently relating to speeds outside of Verizon's network (eg: to other websites). Visit http://speedtest.verizon.net/ and perform a speed test, and then run a speed test at this site: http://ndt.iupui.atl01.measurement-lab.org:7123/ . For the Verizon test, choose both the Florida server and the Georgia server to run a test on. The Measurement Lab server is hosted in Atlanta, Georgia and uses the same test type Verizon runs on their speed test page, however is off the Verizon network.
Tell us the download and upload speed the three tests report.
18.803 down 5.21 up fl, 18.231 down 5.111 up GA, it keeps saying the server is busy on the second site. it seems to be pretty back to nomal except my ping is a little higher than usual. i apprciate your help
For reference, I found this thread over at DSLReports: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26462403-Southeast-Tampa-Bay-Area-Routing-Issues
Verizon text me a ticket number FLC08CTN0 saying it will be resolved by 5pm on Monday 24th October.
This is an outage ticket number so can't be checked using 'view repair status'; you have to use chat or call support for a status update. All indications are that this is a major problem affecting many users.
thanks for the heads up...all
