I have noticed since coming back to Verizon that my hometown has horrible speeds. I work in a town 15 miles away from home and get great speeds. The main reason to switch back was for the speed but I am not seeing that when I get home.
It does not matter the time of day or if I am inside or outside. My speeds are slow.
speedtest app reports an average of 0.46 Mbps download and 0.28 Mbps upload. Where as in the other town next over I get an average of 60Mbps down and 20Mbps up at any particular time of day.
