Re: Just ordered Fiber BUT Verizon speed changes Monday!?
said by nickdigger  :So, any update on the new speeds? I have not heard any updates from Verizon on new speed tiers. I don't anticipate any changes to the tiers we are offering at this time. Should that change I will let you know.
Thanks

Any update on whether DSLx is getting the new speeds provisioned? I need to make a jump one way or the other pretty soon. |

Have you checked to see if you have QOS or any rate limiting set on the router? |

That's funny. Neither Verizon nor DSLx offers any pkg with 10mbps upload. |

A couple of things could be going on.
1) Did the tech run the FIOS speed optimizer on your system? If not use this link:
»www.verizon.net/central/vzc.port···Id=15734
The optimizer helps mostly with download speed.
2) Check out this link for setting your send window size:
»Re: [northeast] Which speed test is most accurate for Fios?
3) It is possible the upload side was provisioned incorrectly at 10Mbps. You will need to contact DSLX if this is the case. |

Well, I got my DSL extreme 20/20 connected on Friday. The verizon tech showed up and connected that. However, the highest speed I am getting is 20/10ish. I haven't gotten a bit over 10 mbps upload nowhere near the 20 Mbps. Wonder if somehow verizon's speed changes messed up DSL extreme's speeds?

I'm guessing we won't find an answer in this forum until "gm" returns on 7/2 |

Nice... I just subbed to this thread. I'm interested to see what Verizon will pass along.
Either way I'm ditching cable this year to either Verizon or DSLX |

We have reached out to Verizon and are waiting to hear back from them. Unfortunately the Telcos aren't the fastest moving so I can't give you a specific time frame of when we will have more information. As of this point there isn't any indication of immediate changes.
I will keep you posted as I have additional updates. |

Speed increases for DSLX Fiber Optics may OR may not be available depending on the contract DSLX has with Verizon for reselling their FiOS.
I've seen that happen with Earthlink DSL with Verizon and AT&T provisioned lines in the past.

The new tiers are not available for ordering (or upgrading) until Monday.
If you've ordered 20/20, then your question is academic, as there is no upgrade for 20/20 (except in NYC). |

When I mean just order the it, I meant its not even turned on yet! Not sure when they are going to turn it on. Does that mean they will turn it on as 20/20 and then I need to request the upgrade?
And the 20/20 packages doesn't seem to be getting a upgrade except in NYC?> Kind of weird since the 25/15 seems to beat it now download wise.
Anyhow I am in Murphy, TX not in Columbia, MO. |

If you're still in Columbia Missouri as your avatar indicates, you won't be getting FIOS. FIOS is not available in MO.
If you are indeed in an area where FIOS is available, these are VZ's new speed tiers effective 6/21.
10/2 -> 15/5 (all service areas)
20/5 -> 25/15 (all service areas)
20/20 -> upgraded to 35/20 in NYC only
50/20 -> No change
The upgrade is not automatic. Since DSL Extreme handles your billing and support, they will need to handle requesting the upgrade for you. |
