NOTE: I'm on the Verizon DSL 3.0/768 package and I am NOT using an web accelerator program !!

Could this be a throw-off to the 7Mbps in my area as its said that it isn't yet because I live too far to get the 7.1Mbps package or was there some sort of upgrade? I had some downtime during the hours of 6pm and 11pm and when I just did a speed test, my suspicions were right that it was an improvement.
