FiOS Quantum installed only 2 days ago, running slow no matter what

FiOS Plan: 50mbps/25mbps
Actual: 15-20mbps/25-30mbps
Issue: Internet speed tests show my download rate is very, very slow while my upload rate is amazing.
I recently signed up for FiOS because I had Charter and their 30mbps plan, which was terrible (speeds were good at 30mbps, but at least once a week internet went down). I had FiOS installed on the 1st (2 days ago) and the install went great. Tech set everything up and even checked my wireless from my computer room to the area where the router is installed and it was a solid connection rate, but he didn't check the speed test (not sure if that's standard, but I didn't even think about it).
Anyhow, so he left and after browsing a few pages, I noticed that the speed was pretty good, but not a noticable difference (which I expected). I started checking out my online Netflix, Youtube and Hulu accounts, only to notice that the buffer rates were significantly slower than the Charter I had gotten rid of. I figured that it was just the sites I was using at the time and so I did a speed test from a few different places: Verizon's online test, Speakeasy, Speedtest and SpeedOf.me. All of these sites resulted in something unexpected: My download rate never, ever went above 20mbps, while my upload rate would fluxuate between 25mbps to 31mbps. I checked my work FTP for my web building host and tried to upload and download some large Access data files (400mb-8gb database table links) and saw a dramatic difference in what I had before. The average upload was much, much quicker than my old service, but my download rate was horrible. It took me approximately 22 minutes to download a ~1Gb accdb file Since I have to download large, fragmented database files from my work regularly, this severely limits my ability to work from home (which is why I signed up for FiOS in the first place).
Although I knew that the wireless was not the issue, seeing as how it made no sense why my upload rate would be rocking while my downstream was lagging bad, I tried the ethernet hardline anyway. The same result occured: 15-20mbps on the downstream, but 25-30mbps on the upstream, the same exact outcome.
I decided to try my other desktop and my laptop on the hard line, just to make sure it wasn't my current system, and the same results occured.
I returned all systems back to where they usually are and tried to reboot the router, reset to factory settings, chose a channel that nobody in my area was broadcasting on (via inSSIDer) and even tried a few other tricks, all to no avail. I reset the router again to factory and still nothing (once again using the inSSIDer to set a proper channel nobody is using from 1-11).
The thing is, before FiOS, I had everything setup exactly the same, just with a different ISP and different router. My other service worked very, very quickly on this wireless (30mbps solid) and so the problem cannot possibly be with my own hardware. I have the dual-antenna Actiontec Rev. I, and its signal is really amazing because it's stronger than the signal I got from my old Charter router (I'm getting a SOLID 54mbps rate right now thanks to Verizon's router and the fact that I have a Wireless-G adapter and not an N, which I am purchasing next week when I can).
At this point, I've tried everything. Oh, yes, forgot to mention I HAVE already used Verizon's speed optimizer tool to optimize my connection. Yes, I did shut the computer down, not just rebooting.
I'm stumped, because I'm usually very good at troubleshooting problems like this. I was sure that rebooting the router, setting to factory and having everything just plugged directly into the hardline ethernet would solve the issue (assumed my wireless was going funky) but it did not; and, if it had, wouldn't have made sense since just less than 72 hours ago everything worked flawlessly with a different provider.
Please, any help is appreciated!
P.S. Yes, I've already tried disabling the WMM. Not sure who thought that was a good idea

Issue pulling EventLogs from only 31 days ago.

Hello everyone,
I am a first time poster, but have used this site numerous times to troubleshoot the various Powershell issues I have run into.
unfortunately I haven't had much luck on the below problem.
I cannot get the below script to pull Event Logs from only 31 days ago until the current date. Regardless of what I set it pulls everything.
Everything else in the script works. my eventual goal is to pull the event logs from 50+ servers create a CSV for each one that shows only each unique Event-ID and then imports it into an Excel file with cell formatting and each $computer gets their
own sheet.
I have most of that already done but this $Day issue is stumping me.
Thank you for all your help.
param([string]$days= "-31" )
$servers = @("sea-db-2", "sea-db-3")
$user = Get-Credential
#Set namespace and calculate the date to start from
$namespace = "root\CIMV2"
$BeginDate=[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDMTFDateTime((get-date).AddDays($days))
$store = "C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance" # No trailing slash, Folder must already exist
foreach ($computer in $servers)
# Get the Application Log and export to CSV
Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer -Credential $user `
-Query "SELECT ComputerName,Logfile,Type,TimeWritten,SourceName,Message,Category,EventCode,User `
FROM Win32_NTLogEvent WHERE (logfile='Application') AND (type='Warning') OR (type='Error') OR (type='FailureAudit') AND (TimeWritten > '$BeginDate')" | `
SELECT ComputerName,Logfile,Type,@{name='TimeWritten';Expression={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.TimeWritten)}},SourceName,Message,Category,EventCode,User | `
Export-Csv "$store\$computer-Application.csv"
# Get the System Log and export to CSV

#filters all csv files removes all duplicate EventIDs and then moves them all into one CSV file
dir C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance -Filter *.csv | ? {$_.basename -like "*$computer*"} | Import-Csv | sort EventCode –Unique | Export-Csv -Path "C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance\$computer-All.csv"
Bonus issue if anyone is interested: I would like to show how many times each unique event ID occurred, but I was not able to figure it out with the .count or -group functions.
Thanks again,

Below are the 2 scripts, I apologize if they look a bit clunky, but they work:
Below is the script to pull all Event Logs for each server, filter them to only display Warnings, Failures, and FailureAudits for Application, System, and Security logs and then remove all duplicate EventIDs so only 1
of each is shown. it then exports that info into a .CSV per server.
param([string]$days= "31" )
$servers = @("Server1", "Server2" "Server3", "Etc")
$user = Get-Credential
#Set namespace and calculate the date to start from
$namespace = "root\CIMV2"
$BeginDate=[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDMTFDateTime((get-date).AddDays(-$days))
$store = "C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance"
foreach ($computer in $servers)
$filter="TimeWritten >= '$BeginDate' AND (type='Warning' OR type='Error' OR type='FailureAudit')"
Echo "Pulling Event Logs for $computer ..."
Get-WmiObject Win32_NTLogEvent -computername $computer -Filter $filter |
sort eventcode -unique |
select Computername,
Logfile,
Type,
@{N='TimeWritten';E={$_.ConvertToDateTime($_.TimeWritten)}},
SourceName,
Message,
Category,
EventCode,
User |
Export-CSV C:\Powershell\MonthlyMaintenance\$computer-Filter.csv
Echo "Done."
Below is the script that creates an Excel workbook and then imports each Server .CSV file into an excel sheet, it also formats the cells a bit for size.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

Hi cb-anc! Thank you for replying to my question. The Library application has disappeared,not the library folder. I went into the application a couple of days ago to trash some plist files and now the application has disappeared. I haven't upgraded to Lion but am still on now Leopard.

TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
I get the following:
(1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
(2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
(3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
(4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

I just installed Lion 3 days ago, now my audio won't work, unless I use headphones, also space bar glitches, and other software issues..MacBook Pro 15 inch, and most everything is messed,,but the audio is killing me.

I installed Lion a few days ago, ever since then my audio won't work, unless I use my headphones. Also, the saver screen with password changes frequently, and the space bar works when it wants to. There are many other issues I am having. My IPhoto,,does not work properly, pages is not working, I have all versions. The Office Suite is acting strange, and my email accounts work when they want,,,my IPhone 4 won't sync anymore. The list is endless...does anyone else have this problem?

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

please help me resolve my problem. after installing lion my system was running great for about a week. suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them.. unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage. Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
please help

Peter, thank you for responding. No, I am not referring to the initial start up. I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites. Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari. I will see how it goes.
I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures. I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite. As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

After installing Mountain Lion iMac i5 runs slow and hard to wake up

After installing OS X10.8 (Mountian Lion) my iMac i5 with 4GB RAM seems to run slower. It also is hard to wake up after sleep mode. Sometimes it even just freezes and when I force quit all the apps the apps can never be launched without a hard reboot.

Open Disk Utility (Application - Utilities - Disk Utility) Repair Disk Permissisons 2-3x. If that doesn't work then restart in Safe Mode to clear some caches and then restart normally. If it still has problems then your install is corrupt and you need to re-download and re-install Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

I installed Firefox 2 days ago (Windows Vista)& my fax machine / HP 6700 will not accept faxes now, how do I correct this problem?

my fax machine will not receive a fax.
Is there some sort of firewall or something preventing this?
or a control panel somewhere where I choose this option?
I re set the fax machine and that did not help.
None of your tutorials helped either. I could not find anything related.
I am a small business and need my fax machine.

Contact HP to set up your Fax, as edmister said.
Browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) have no interaction with your fax machine, faxes are analog technology run over telephone lines, browsers are digital technology, that while it can be run over a phone line (like in DSL) Has no impact on your fax.

My iPad won't turn on and I bought it only three days ago :(

My iPad mini won't turn on. I have it on charge but still nothing. I just bought it three days ago

1. Make sure battery is charged.
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

How can I find a PAGES doc I designed only 3 days ago?

Is there a way to only search for all my PAGES-made documents or for all recently created documents? or some other way to find my missing doc? yes, I did save it. and yes, I looked in recently opened. thanks!

Try a Spotlight search for the name you gave the document or use ⌘ + F & define your search criteria similar to what I have done in this screenshot.

Installed iCloud several days ago and cannot locate my contacts, Installed iCloud several days ago and cannot locate my contacts

After installing iCloud have lost contacts..how do I get them back?

I am having the same malfunction on both my iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4. I cannot sign into iCloud from either phone and then the phone freezes and the Verify wheel just keeps turning forever or until I shut the phone down and restart it.
This is extremely disturbing to me, as I am going to have to add all of my contacts individually and I don't have most of them available.

Firefox 30 constantly crashes, several times a day since it was installed a few days ago

Since Firefox automatically updated to V. 30, it constantly crashes several times a day, every day. There's no reason for it. Nothing has changed on my end. Please get the bugs out of your browser updates before releasing them!

Cor-el, yesterday I deleted the older version of Shockwave Flash (13.0 r 0) but Firefox is still crashing. The latest crash was just now. There's something going on with Firefox 30.0 because I didn't have this problem until Version 30.0 came out. It has nothing to do with my computer (Windows 8). It's annoying also how the Firefox crash dialog box offers to let me know when the problem is resolved (I provided my email address by default each time), but I never hear back from Mozilla.

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.
