August 23, 2005, 08:28:36 PM »
lets see if anyone can help me...The other day I had called Verizon about a speed upgrade from 768/128Kbps to 1.5Mbps/128Kbps the lady said it would take 24 hours ;) ok I go back to my computer 24 hours later 3:30PM EST and take a speed test to see if it worked and it did I know HAD my upgraded speed. ok I am all happy and stuff now. I go back to my computer 4 hours later to take another speed test but now it said my speed was 768Kbps/128Kpbs (my old speed). does anyone know why I was downgraded? I am really pissed and I don't feel like spending all day with Verizon on hold. If anyone can help thanks

Hey biker9075 How ya doin? Welcome to testmy.net! Make sure to tell all your friends about the site.
From everything I have heard and stuff it takes Verizon 1-3 Full business days to complete the upgrade and sometimes your speed will decrease and go back up until it is complete. If it stays like that for say, 4 or 5 days(at your old speed) then you might have to clal verizon again. Just give it some time and enjoy your stay!
