update*
plan states that its 20 mbps and 5 mbps down and up

8 bits = 1 Byte
so:

20 mbits = 2.5 mbytes
5 mbits = 0.625 mbyte

yea thats what rates he should download at and upload at.

oh ok thx

yea, I have the same 20/5

I set my speeds around 2mb down and 520kb up. FIOS is great though because it's consistent no matter how many people are using the internet. Your line is independent.

show us a speedtest. I used to have the same problem with my cable connection. It might be the slow PC which is causing it. I remember in my laptop i would get twice the speed that i would get in my old pc.

If you are on XP try this http://www.verizon.net/optimizesettings/

It significantly increased my speed but I have a 20/20 line

Better than the best package my ISP has to offer if talking about download-upload speeds. How much is Fios monthly, if i may ask? The package mentioned in this thread.

definitely could be down to dodgy wiring in your house, also try plugging your router into the master socket in the house if it already is not, when i plug mine into it, it dramatically increases my speeds.

Also another thing is, i do not get the full speeds i could get from my package because my house is to far from the telephone exchange.

hotshot, that basically just changes the number of TCP connections allowed on Windows.

TCP-Z is a much better application with a GUI.

if u have done your speedtest with recommended[yellow pyramid]or near by, u r not getting the speed you are paid for.. if u selected remote[ suppose you taken one of europe] server you wont get even half of ur speed sometimes..

wait, what? i download at 1mb and upload at 50kbps.

WHAT THE HELL ROADRUNNER

That sets the settings for Verizon specifically. I tried other configs and that is the one that I get the highest speed with Fios

yea thats speed test is with the yellow pyramid..... and i live close to new york

i think what nikita said is right...

It should say 20,000 and 5,000 or something very close. If you are not getting that call customer service

Pig098,
I have the same setup and get 2.2 MB/sec down and .5 MB/sec up max off. Looking at the speed tests it looks like it is 15/5 fios not 20/5

Make sure that you aren't downloading anything while doing the speedtest. :)
