I have Verizon FIOS which I have had for over 2 years. Our city was the first city in the US wired for FIOS. I had the option of getting 5, 15, or 30 Mbps. I selected 15 Mb's. You will not see any difference really between 15,20, or 30Mbp's as there are other factors such as servers etc. that come into play. Try testing it from different locations and you will usually see a significant difference in speed with the high speed connections such as Verizon FIOS.

Verizon DSL from Harrisburg, PA to Maryland.

2875 kbs down
673 kbs up

2nd Test about 5 to 10 minutes later:
virtually same results

Wow looks like FIOS is fabulous. I thought going from dial-up to DSL was amazing but I might have to try the FIOS.

Hmm I am on Cable and got 579Kbs download and 346 upload kbs. Something does not sound right.

I must have had a bad night, I just redid the test and got 1279kb download and 484 upload.

I just ran the test using 3 different speed test sites. Results came out as
6311/375
6551/380
2510/378

I don't understand why the last one is so much lower on the download side, but it always is.

When I tried it earlier, it was from my aircard. Now I am home, my laptop is wireless to the router, and I get 7537/2207

The DW is hardwired to the router and she gets 9161/2437. We are both on the cable router at the same time which may make some degrading, but that seems low for the hardwired computer.
