You are provisioned at 1.5 and you get 1.49 ? I think you are picking at straws here man.

I am provisioned at 3.0 and get about 2.8 2.7 most times

DSL degrades over distance, so they can't garuntee rates..

Yours is prefect for your provisioning tho.

Welcome to the forum  mmenard   wave  Welcome!
Sort of just what they said. It don't get any better. Unless you upgrade to 3.0.  Very Happy

If you are refferingto the " May need help : running at only 31.75 % of your hosts average (verizon.net)" part it only means an average of all type connections. Including 3.0, 6.0, and 8.0 if it is already out. So being at the bottom of the chain, you would get the slower speeds percentage wise.  Wink

Hope that helped. Enjoy your stay, and come have some fun when you get a little spare time.  cool

Dude just call them up and tell them to upgrade you to 3.0Mbps for no additional charges... They just going to renew your contract if you don't care.. Its double the speed lol
