Does anyone else pay for 25/25 and still have slow downloads. Even whe there is only one computer downloading, I am lucky to get over 10Mps consistently. I refuse to pay for a faster plan. I know Verizon has all their disclaimers, but come on! AND thir spell check doesn't recognize 'fios' or 'verizon'...laughable
I was thinking this until I discovered the rather hidden "FIOS Speed Test" AND the associated "FIOS Speed Optimizer".
That little piece of network interface optimizing software made my system go from 19-25 down / 1-8 up before then 23-26 down / 22-25 up not bad. You must run it on all your PC's on the same FIOS portal.

PS. The software is a bit of a pain to operate. It insisted on win explorer 6+ (only - no chrome or firefox) and a fresh install of java with all the right admin privileges (sp 
)
Anyway Just Google both of these tools or search within verizon.com, your FIOS Internet performance will thank you 
i don't enter here that much to read but today i was looking and find this and i have something to say about this post.
i'm paying for the 35/35 and i can't watch any web video greater than 360p like i used to do it with my cable company without any problem, the last 2 time i spoked to a tech support 1 using in home agent and the other one using @verizonsupport on twitter they told me that those website may be are bad or have some problems, that may be my pc is too slow and i told them i don't know how can you tell me that when those website i used to see it with my cable connection and using the same pc.. i also told them that i don't only have one pc but 4.. all of them with very good CPU speed, more than 4 to 8GB of memory with 500GB to 1TB of Hard Disk and 1GB Video Card. the thing that i don't understand is how i was able to watch 480p 720p or 1080p video with my cable connection and unable to do the same using the same pc with verizon fios 35/35?

The question now is, are you able to obtain your connection speed by simply running HTTP or FTP transfers? It sounds like you're talking about YouTube, and quite honestly that site for years has had problems with the occasional slow-down. Lately it's been a bit more regional and ISP specific, but it is to be expected. I find a reload or two of the page and a flip to the wanted video quality can help get you some fast servers.
Looking at http://youtube.com/my_speed , it looks like everyone has been sagging a bit these past few days. The averages have begun to go up a bit, but it looks like the average for my particular IP Block on Verizon have been sinking a bit. I would give a site such as Vimeo a shot. They use Akamai for much of their video caching and I have yet to see a speed issue from their site. Their player is a CPU Eater though (not optimized), so expect it to eat at least one CPU core away while playing a video.
do that include nba.com o mlb.com o vudu.com? i just mention one website but that doesn't mean that i only have problem watching youtube videos
