I also have had slower than normal internet speeds. Very irritating to try to access anything online, since the latest Microsoft Security updates ate my whole bandwidth for the past 3 days!!
During that period, my download speed was .027Mbps.!! Yes, that is no typing error!
upload speed was .282.
My download speed is now .435 Mbps
upload speed is now .318 Mbps
I should be double the download speed.
I had called VZ support last weekend due to no internet connection at all. Come to find out my wall phone DSL filter had died.
After rigging the wall phone to a small line filter, the phone and the internet came back. But the Rep said I was paying for too much speed and would lower it, telling me to call to change my billing. I did NOT call to change my billing because I do not want my speed lowered. Could this service call be a contributing factor to the slower speeds??
I need reliable internet connection speeds. (No FIOS here anytime soon.) What's up Verizon?

I also would love to know whats going on lately with this slow speed problem. I am paying Verizon for 1-3Mbps and getting .865 download 24 hours a day and Verizon always says no problem at our end. I am in 24095 area code in Va. and try speedtest.net as verizon recommends and several other companies and they all are close to the same readings. Up until a month ago,I was getting at least 1.5 which I thought was slow enough. Computer only 9 months old. This .8 speed crap is close to dial up! I get so sick and tired of calling Verizon and get nothing but a bunch of offers to bundle this or upgrade that. I want help and not sales pitches! ANYONE agree?

Count me in the same boat. My service has been getting slower and slower., down to .045 upload and .060 download respectively. And I too am paying for 1-3 Mbps. Seriously will have to look into cable, although I just dropped that for my Tv in favor of Direct TV due to overpriced and poor service, just like Verizon.

You can add me to the list. Starting about a week and a half ago I have been experiencing download speeds of 356kb and lower measured via the Verizon speed test and Speedtest.net sites. I can't even watch a Youtube video at this point. The upload speed has remained at my provisioned rate. I am on the "Enhanced" internet package of 1 MBS download speed via a Dryloop. I have called technical support, and after going through the usual script was passed to a level 2 tech. They are currently testing the line and are supposed to call back tomorrow. I was issued a trouble ticket number. Long Island, New York area here.

I guess I will just have to call again to try and get what I am paying for. Still can't watch video and download is .84 at its best. How do they call it enhanced internet?
