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.Quote:

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.
i doubt its my computer... pretty new and expensiveQuote:
