Horrible Verizon FiOS service south NJ - slow internet, excuses, I have no where to turn.....

My saga starts around 4pm yesterday, when out of the blue I noticed my download speeds are PAINFULLY slow. Now, mind you, my service has been lightening fast since I signed up in June. I'm on the 25/25 plan and have always recieved full speed. Suddenly, my upload is but a mere 1.5mbps but my UPLOAD has remained at my usual 20+mbps. 
I spend over 4 hours on the phone with tech support, we try EVERYTHING and still, the same result on 3 different computers. Same results every time. 
A technician comes out and replaced my ONT AND my actiontech router. We check the coax, we check the ethernet lines, everything is good. Still....the same results. 
He tells me that I'm the 4th customer today to have similar issues. Also, VOD is useless because my downstream is so choked!!! His other calls for my local area (Williamstown, Sewell, Sicklerville new jersey). He has heard of other techs with similar calls. I ask him when this will be fixed at the central office and he tells me he has no idea. Most likely it is a bad G-PON card he thinks. 
Now, let me just say that my tech (his name was Ed) was an AWESOME guy, and I am in no way blaming him. He did everything he could. He just could not tell me when some guy named Carlos that is a high up VZ tech would look into this. He couldn't even tell me if he WOULD look into it. This is insane. I'm paying for service that I CANNOT USE. I am paying for VOD, High Speed 25/25 internet....and they don't have a clue even if their techs will fix this.........
I am so livid right now you have no idea. I am seriously considering going BACK to the evil forces that are Comcast. 
Who else could I possibly call about this issue? 

could be a similar issue that was in chino hills california last week.
Try running a tracert from one of your computer to google and then post it here. Maybe we can see where the issue is and the techs here on the board are real good at getting things done
go to the command prompt and type
tracert www.google.com
and post your results so we can see
As for the rest. dont worry the problem WILL be fixed. They probably cant tell you when because they havent been able to track down the problem yet. it could take minutes or it could take weeks. just depends on how long it takes to track down the problem. But once the problem is identified then it will get repaired. But since they dont know the answers yet, they cant give them to you either.

  • Connecting  AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service

    I want to connect my new AirPort Extreme 802.11n directly to my Verizon FiOS service. The ActionTec wireless router supplied by Verizon died, and I bought an AirPort Extreme as a replacement. When I configured the AirPort extreme, it would not connect to the internet. I have read some posts here that indicate I plug my AirPort Extreme into the ActionTec and I am OK, however the ActionTec is dead.
    Are there settings for the AirPort Extreme that are unique for going straight to the internet? What am I missing? My FiOS connection is an Ethernet connection- not coax.
    Here is the interesting thing- I have an old AirPort Extreme (the round cone shaped model) that I plugged into the Verizon FiOS Ethernet connection. Everything works fine- I have a wireless connection to the internet. I didn't set anything. So my assumption is that I can make the new AirPort Extreme work with the Verizon FiOS.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, as I do not know if I have the strength to go through the Verizon help desk.

    Good news! My problem was solved by calling Verizon FiOS support. The service tech said an AEBS can connect straight to the FiOS Ethernet connection. He broke the "lease" on my connection, had me connect the cable from the wall to my WAN slot, and then he "leased" my network connection to my AEBS. Works like butter now.
    He said that the Verizon FiOS network "leases" the network connections every 24 hours or so, and had I left my AEBS connected to the network, it would have pushed the new setting down to the AEBS.
    Thanks for all of the input.

  • Has anyone used Verizon Fios Services with Windows 7 ?

    Has anyone used Verizon Fios Services  with Windows 7 ?

    Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

  • I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets.  Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

    I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router.  I currently have a Verizon FiOS router.  I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV.  However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box.  No HD, no DVR.  Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand.  Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

    I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
    Not sure what you are asking here.  The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
    If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area.  But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

    Wondering how to proceed with Verizon, as you mention this only seems to occur during night-time hours, so it's a tricky issue to get support on.  For us it means very slow (1mbps or less) transfer speeds between our servers and the FIOS customer, which is unacceptable.

  • Sprint slow Internet speed out of no where anyone else please help

    I have a sprint iPhone 4 and suddenly my 3G speeds have been really slow I don know what could be goin on I've called sprint and they have refreshed my service and it's still happening I have also done restores
    My brother has the same iPhone 4 with sprint and his speeds are up to 1.24/ 1.98 mbps downlaod and .78/.89 upload
    And my speeds are slower the highest speeds I've gotten are .79 mbps download and .45 upload
    Slowest speeds I have gotten which is the most common speeds I get now is about .14/.16 Mbps download and .45 upload

    In my personal opinion, Sprint iPhone seems to have issues when switching from wi-fi to 3G. It seems to cause a (hickup) in the data speed. This seems to be pretty consistant (75% of the time), when going from wi-fi to 3G.
    The following steps tend to fix it 95% of the time.
    Before you try the steps below, make sure you give your phone a SPRINT network update (not apple update, however...an apple update is a good idea too.)
    To perform a sprint update, open your phone keypad, like you are going to make a phone call. Then dial ##UPDATE#       then press "call". You will get a popup that says "starting service update" . press "okay" . the popup window will close. For 60-90 seconds, your phone will look l,ike nothing is hapening. You will then get a message that says "service update complete". press "okay". the popup will close. At this time, look at your 3G symbol on the top left. It will dissapear as the phone reconnects to the cell tower. When the reconnect happens , you will initially see a "o" where the 3G symbol was. then within 5-10 seconds the 3G will appear again. At this point power the phone off. wait 60 seconds, then power back on.
    Now, next time your phone data is dragging, the next step should fix it.
    #1, go to settings>airplane mode>off. wait 60 seconds, then turn back on. This will reset the tower connections and fixes the issue most of the time.
    #2. If #1 doesn't help. Power the phone down, wait 60 seconds, then turn back on.
    #3. If #1 or #2 doesn't help, contact sprint.
    This is an ongoing issue with Sprint for me, I have called NUMEROUS times, and this is Sprint tech supports most effective solution. However , no one can tell me how to keep this from occuring.
    Good Luck!

  • I'm thinking of canceling my Fios Service (even though I don't even have it yet)

    I was a previous Fios customer and had open a new account since I was moving to a new apartment.   That was in December.   The next available date for them to install Fios was in January.    The installation day comes and nobody at all shows up.   I call twice and I was told I would get a call back.   Verizon later tells me nobody showed because I never confirmed my apointment (which I absolutely did).   So the installation date was rescuedled to another far away date in February.  Great, I have to go three more weeks without any internet or cable.   The Feburary 12th installation comes and they couldn't complete the installation and promised to be back the next business day.   The next businessday comes and nobody shows up.  I call Verizon and they say they have to reschedule and tell me the next date they have is ....MARCH.   Is this a joke? How many months now without internet and television?  
    I tell them I will not wait until March for something they already started and they tell me they'll contact their supervior to put me on priority installtion since work was already started at in apartment and promised to call me back the same day.    No call back.   Called again the next day and I'm promised another call back.   Again, no call back.
    This is beyond frustrating and if service is not installed this week, I'm done with Verizon.   Cancelling my  business service, wireless accounts and never doing business with this company again.

    Sorry you are having difficulty, an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or help you resolve your issue.

  • Slow Internet Speed out of NO WHERE

    Well I have a decent Internet Speed... Until about a week ago I started noticing that my downloads were going at a 30-60kb/s speed when normally they go at 80-100kb/s (Hey, if I was an adult, I'd been buy way faster Internet, but come on, I'm only 14). So yeah I don't know if its something with my settings or Verizon is just down for a while... but yeah I'm going to try my Internet with out my router connected and see how that goes...because it might be something in the router's settings.

    you really shouldn't use the internet without a router between you and the modem...   your just asking to get a virus....
    its likely that you have spyware/adware due to the porn sites you've been visiting...
    download and run "adaware" and remove any infections...
    you might also run "hijack this" it will tell you anything that is having any effect on your computer...   if you post a read out of the hijack this results, i can tell you what you should remove...

  • Availabili​ty of FIOS Service in NE DC

    I recently moved into a new townhouse community in Dec. 2011. Shortly thereafter, Verizon contractors visited the site to install the underground wires and outside boxes necessary for Verizon FIOS service. I contacted customer service sometime in late January/early February to inquire about when FIOS or High-Speed Internet service would be available and was told it would happen sometime in late April.
    To this day, every time I inquire about service I'm told they can't tell me when it will be available. I can CLEARLY see the Verizon utility boxes from my windows yet customer service never seems to have any answers. Now mind you, since then Comcast has installed their utility boxes, ran their underground wires, and got their service up and running!
    This is a large, new townhouse community that would like to have options when it comes to our TV and Internet needs. I'm starting to think that Verizon isn't interested in acquiring any of our business since information provided is little to none. I'm trying my best to wait on these services to become available (without getting stuck in a 2 year contract with Comcast) but it's going on 6 months and I need service! Any information about the potential delivery date of services would be greatly appreciated (and please don't tell me to sign up for service notifications; been there, done that).

    Our area (Bluffs) of our development (Fawn Lake) has had FiOS from the beginning - we don't even have copper in the ground.  However, there is no TV
    If FIOS internet is available, but not TV, it is more likely the VZ does not have a franchise agreement with your city and has nothing to do with VZ investing in head-end equipment.

  • Verizon Fios Wireless Compatibility Issues with MacBook Pro

    Good afternoon,
    We have Verizon Fios as our internet provider. We both have PCs that are connected to the router and my husband has a laptop that connects both via an ethernet cable and wirelessly. We do not have any problems connecting our PCs and the laptop to the Verizon Fios service.
    In December of 2007, I purchased a MacBook Pro. For several months, my ability to connect wirelessly with my MacBook Pro was great. However, beginning around March of 2008, my wireless connection began to become sporadic. Now, my ability to connect wirelessly to Fios varies based upon where I am in our home. When in the same room as the router or in the room above the router, my connection is great. I have no issues. In all other rooms, I either cannot connect wirelessly or the connection is sporadic at best.
    I have spoken with Apple Customer Service and Verizon Fios Customer Service on numerous occasions. My last discussion resulted in the service representative telling me that there are inherent problems with connecting Fios and Apple and I would either have to switch to all Fios components or all Apple components. As long as I have both components connected to each other, I will continue to experience problems.
    Per Verizon, we upgraded our firmware and changed our security settings. These changes did not help. Per an Apple sales clerk, I purchased an Airport Express Base Station. When I arrived home and called customer service to help me connect it, I was told that it would not help my situation.
    Please tell me there are other options. The whole point of having a laptop is so I'm not restricted to one location.
    Thank you,

    I am having the same problem, although we have been experiencing the problem with a Windows machine as well. Sporadic internet is very frustrating! Right now it's working fine two stories above the router on my MBP, but I'm constantly checking the airport meter to see if I've lost my connection. 20 minutes ago I had nothing. It does seem to work consistently if I'm in the room next to the router. Hopefully Verizon comes up with a solution.
    You wouldn't happen to be having Kernel Panics when waking your MBP from sleep, too, would you?

  • How can I escalate terrible FIOS service problems above FIOS field service management?

    This is a long story, but I will try to keep it short and on point.  We use Verizon FIOS for land line telephone, Internet access and TV cable.  For the past four and a half months, we have suffered serveral outages a week and sometimes several outages in a single day on all three services.  Sometimes we lose our Internet connection for a few moments.  Sometimes telephone calls get dropped or there is no dial tone.  Sometimes we see pixelation or interference in the cable TV signal.
    Often two services are affected at the same time.  We've recorded events where all three services were affected at one time.
    In the Gateway router logs, we see errors messages that "opaque does not match!" and "rebinding lease."  These messages in the router logs occur at the same time stamps when we suffer dropped calls or cable TV interference.  It seem obvious, at least to me, that the problem is external to anything that is inside of our house.
    We have opened a dozen or more support tickets.  We've had four Verizon field technicians come to our house.  We've gone through three Verizon Gateway routers.. We've accessed the Internet using only wireless connections of a week to try and rule out internal wiring problems with computer access to the Internet.
    Verizon has replaced the ONT (optical network terminal) on the side of our house.  They changed the fibre channel cable that goes from the ONT to a vault out by the curb of the street.
    We have opened a formal complaint with the FCC and with the PA Public Utility Commission.  But the problem has not been resolved.  We think that we're just getting the run around now from Verizon field service.  Yesterday, a service manager left me a voicemail where he suggested that our Internet problem was caused by a second router that we had hooked up to the Verizon router.  We DO NOT have a second router.  He said that there was a problem with cable TV interference in my area and 2nd level support was working on it.  He did not address the dropped landline calls.  He did not address why outages on more than one service would occur at the same time.
    Does anyone have any advice on how I get our problem escalated?  We are at the end of our rope here and are considering canceling our service with Verizon and going with a competitor.  But even after all of this, we are hesitant to switch providers because we will lose our email accounts that we've used for well over a decade.
