PlayStatio​n3 Online W/ Verizon High-Speed DSL

I am getting  Verizon DSL High Speed Internet due to the fact that FIOS is not yet available in my location. My question is what kind of speed will i recieve with the PS3 Online set-up. I am using a wireless router to connect my playstation 3. I am wondering what kind of speed i will recieve and if i will recieve any lag????

 NO simple answer!
What speed you get depends on 3 things:
1). How much you pay. You can order 1mbs, 3mbs or 7mbps service
Each represents a maximum speed, and a different price.
2). How far are you from the Central office.
(7mbps is only available if you are fairly close to the CO)
3). The quality and condition of the copper pair between your premises and the CO.
You can be next door to the CO, but if the copper pair stinks, so will the DSL data rate.
Ultimately your speed will the the lower of either
The speed Verizon provisioned you for (what you ordered)
or
The Highest speed the Modem can successfully negotiate with the CO equipment.
For many users those are the same, but if you are toward the edge of the DSL 'footprint', you can order 3mbps, but you the copper pair length/quality may limit you to something considerable lower that may even be sensitive to changes in weather.
Once you are connected, you can look at the connection information on the modem/router, and it will tell you the data rates in both directions from the CO.

  • Question about high speed DSL

    I have had high speed DSL 1.5 MB service since 8/20. Up until last night I was in love with the service. It was running between 600 and 1000KBPS excededing my expectations.
    Then last night around 9:45pm it got extremely slow. I am talking 23.3KBPS on the bandwidth test I was able to run from CNET. I followed the instructions in the tech support and power cycled my modem and PC. I checked all connections and they were secure. The DSL light is solid which from what I have read here means I have a connection.
    Would rain/thunderstorms cause an issue? We have had a large amount of rain since Saturday.
    I am just frustrated with this issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok..
    Please post the modem status from your modem.
    #1 If you have no idea of what I mean, since I have no idea of how old or new your Westell 6100 is, I point you to All DSLR (.dslreports.com) FAQs » Verizon Online DSL FAQ » 4. Hardware -> How do I use a router with the Westell 6100?
    #2 When there, notice that they talk about the white and blue Westell Firmware and the red and black Westell firmare.
    Please only answer my question - Do NOT attempt to do what they tell you to do there, at this time.
    Which one, do you have?

  • High Speed DSL connectivity issues.

    Hi. I have connectivity issues with the High Speed DSL internet connection. I have had internet service with you guys for almost a year now, and since day one, I have had connectivity issues. In the past, the connection would drop once every few days, and about once every two weeks I would need to restart the modem in order to get my connection back.
    I have restarted my router countless times, and even done a factory reset on the router a number of times as well.
    The past two days, my internet connection has been worse than ever, with the connection being dropped about once every five minutes. And, while the connection was up, my browsing, video, and email loading times were very slow.
    The internet light on the modem is constantly flashing, even when I am connected.
    The gateway status info page refreshes 4-5 times a minute.
    I dont know if any of the following info will help. I would like to continue with Verizon as my ISP, but if the connection issues continue, I will have to change services.
    I have the Actiontec GT708WNV modem.
    The gateway status info is:

  • High speed DSL !?

    hi all
    I know DSL uses ATM for its for its connection,
    but what about high speed DSL which is above 100MB ??
    does it still use ATM ?
    thanks,

    You don't look at the ATM protocol.  You look at your router.  If you want a modem that will support 100 Mbps, then a small router like 890 (as an example) won't support this speed.  
    You need to have a big router, like a 3945 to support 100 Mbps.  That is, of course, you can find an EHWIC card which will support vectoring.   Currently, there's no Cisco modules available to support vectoring.  Don't know when it'll come out.  I guess Cisco is still listening out to see if it's worthwhile developing something like this.

  • VERIZON CHANGED HIGH SPEED DSL AT CENTRAL OFFICE AFTER I HAD 7.840 MBPS FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS!!!

    ALL OF THE SUDDEN VERIZON DECIDES IN LATE APRIL THAT I SHOULD HAVE 7.1 MBPS INSTEAD OF THE 7.840 MBPS I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AFTER A LOT OF DISCONNECTIONS SUFFERED IN MARCH/APRIL 2012 BECAUSE VERIZON WAS DOING SOMETHING IN THEIR CENTRAL OFFICE WITHOUT TELLING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DSL FILTERS, AND TWO MODEMS... I GOT THE D-LINK WORKING AT 7.840 MBPS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, VERIZON TECHNICIAN CAME TO MY HOME AND WE DID INSTALL THE NEW MODEM AT THAT VERY SPEED, WHICH WAS AGREED MORE THAN 1 YEAR AGO AFTER DOING A LOT OF TESTING TO ENSURE THE STABILITY IN THE CONNECTION. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, AFTER THE 20-DAY HONEYMOON WITH MY NEW MODEM, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEED WAS NOT THE SAME, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE IP WAS CHANGED AND THE SPEED SETTING DROPPED TO 7.1 MBPS. NOW VERIZON CLAIMS THAT MY CONTRACT WAS FOR A MAXIMUM OF 7.1 MBPS WHICH IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE 7-15 MBPS RANGE!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT I COULD GO EVEN OVER 8 MBPS BUT BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION, RELATIVELY FAR AWAY FROM THE CENTRAL OFFICE AND AFTER A LOT OF TESTING, 7.840 MBPS WAS THE MOST CONVENIENT SPEED. VERIZON CHANGES THEIR POLICIES NOT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMERS, THEY DO WORK INTERRUPTING THE SERVICE WITHOUT NOTIFYING. I AM GOING TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY DO IN THIS CASE. IF THIS IS NOT SOLVED PROPERLY... GOOD BYE VERIZON, AND HELLO TIME WARNER CABLE!!! SO, VERIZON BE PREPARED TO LOSE ANOTHER LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR MORE THAN 9 YEARS!!! THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH VERIZON, THEY ARE SO DEDICATED TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS THAT FORGET ABOUT THEIR OLD LOYAL ONES... UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES... AND THOSE ARE THAT YOU WILL LOSE THE OLD ONES SOON BECAUSE YOUR LACK OF CARE ABOUT THEM!!! ONCE YOU ARE HOOKED WITH VERIZON, THEY THINK THEY GOTCHA FOREVER... LET'S WAIT AND SEE...

    Believe or not... That 20% does make a difference... In one of my games, I used to have 5.3 secs of response time, now it does not lower from 7.8. By the way, even my PC worked faster  when I had that little higher speed... I know the changes were done without my knowledge because for a period of 2 weeks I got lot of unstability in my connection that I never got for years before... After 20 days with the first IP assigned to the new modem, the speed dropped like Verizon was running a program to levelize such an speed.
    At the end, what really bothers me, is that the 7.840 Mbps was a speed agreed with Verizon, their technicians, their supervisors at the CO, and it was fully documented, and all of the sudden because an "internal change in their policies" that agreement was broken... I am currently making arrangements to have FIOS installed at home, subject to an scouting visit from Verizon to evaluate the feasibility of its installation according to my internal wiring limitations. I have to give them a try... No doubt that it would me cheaper and much faster than the high speed enhanced internet connection that I currently have. Let's wait and see...
    Thank you for your interest in my case and observations made too.

  • Internet by high-speed DSL cable and two computers sharing the cable

    I have a DSL cable going to my computer. It is high speed 100mbps internet. There was a modem supplied but I do not use it. I just stick the cable which comes out of the wall into the computer using the USB ethernet connector.
    When I plugged the DSL cable into the modem then connected the modem to my computer, the internet speed was slower (about 30 mbps) so I did not do that.
    If I want to use wireless internet though I do have to use the modem.
    When the service provider technician came to my home to hook everything up, he said something about purchasing a router from him. He said that way I can have multiple computers using into the internet.
    Since I only had the one computer at the time, I did not take him up on his offer.
    Now, I want to use two computers––two MacBook Airs––using the cable. I prefer the cable to wireless because it's very fast.
    Before I go and buy any equipment, I want to know what I need.
    Do I buy just a router and then put the cable that comes out from the wall into a socket and then connect the other two computers to the router, or do I need to get a modem as well?
    Just to remind you that when the modem is connected to the computer, the speed drops a lot even though the cable is connected to the modem.
    If I need a modem, do I need to buy a special modem or is the one that I have good enough?
    Sorry, if this sounds like a basic question but I don't really know much about routers and modems. I surfed the internet a bit on this but I still am not sure what to do.

  • High speed DSL is very slow

    Hi I am barely getting dailup speeds (Verizon speed tests 74k download and 14k upload) on my HS DSL. I've put up with slow speeds for a while but I just can not put up with it any longer. If things do not improve soon I will be forced to go to cable. Youtube is unwatchable, downloads take forever.  I am using a westell 327 modem.  Any ideas on how to get the promised bandwidth would be apprecated.

    Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
    Which means
    Visit http://192.168.1.1/ for me and do the following:
    a) If you see a Blue and White Westell page, mouse over [b]Troubleshooting[/b], go to [b]DSL[/b], and choose [b]Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
    b) If using the Red and Black Firmware: Go to [b]System Monitoring > Advanced Monitors > Transceiver Statistics[/b]. Copy and paste the information on that page.
    c) Try visiting http://192.168.1.1/transtat.htm which is a direct link to the Stats on older modems.
    d) If you need a Username and Password, try the following:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1
    admin/[b]Serial Number[/b].
    By [b]Serial Number[/b], I don't mean type in the words [b]Serial Number[/b]. I mean find and type in the serial number found on the bottom of this router.

  • Anyone know how to hook up two computers to High Speed DSL using one modem?

    any insight is appreciated

    I agree about the wireless part as I also have the 6100G modem/router.  There were no details in the posting about the specific hardware and there are several available with and without wireless.

  • Can a G4 Desktop OS 8.6 be hooked up to cable modem high speed?

    Can anyone help me set up my apple G4 desktop os 8.6 to work with a high speed cable modem to get internet access?

    Hi Gepicou
    In a word yes, your G4 will definitely support a high speed DSL connection - I'm writing to you on a 7300 powerPC mac I've just dusted off, sent to a repair shop where they set her up for my 512Ko line. I'm deep in the countryside so I don't get a powerful signal, but all is fine. The modem is a Thompson 510 (ethernet).
    Normally I use my present Powerbook running on Panther, and since I'm going to England for work reasons, I'm leaving my partner with my old (and dear) Mac to use.
    You could try the forum "Mac OS 10.3" > getting online - loads of folk there have used OS9 before, and have experience in newer connections that weren't really around when OS8 or 9 were still mainly in use.
    Otherwise, if you get your running orders from that forum, take your G4 to a technician - mine configured the modem in 20 minutes, it cost me 20 euros...
    Good luck!

  • High Speed Internet Install Hangs

    Another user already posted this problem but I seem unable to reply to that thread.
    I am having *exactly* the same problem, namely:
    Today is my Service Ready Date. I opened a browser and got the 'activation page', entered my line number, then got to download the verizon high speed internet installer for mac. Once I opened this I got to set up a username/password, then the installer went through a series of checks, and finally gets to 'saving settings for *******@verizon.net', where it says 'Please Wait, This step could take up to 3 minutes'. And it just hangs at that point. I waited for an hour and nothing happened. I tried again later with the 'resume installation' alias that was created when I quit the installer, and it jumps straight to that step as expected, but hangs again.
    What could be causing this? I'm using a mac with MacOS 10.6, the modem is a Westell 7500, and the plan I've chosen is the 3MBs.
    Thanks for any help!
    Note: I copied the original poster's description of the problem because it is accurate in my case, revising only the OS version to reflect my own.
    Link to original post
    Declan

    Update: 12 hours later.  Still not solved.
    Utterly appalling.
    After 20 minutes on hold waiting for a second support chat, then a 20 minute chat during which the rep repeatedly asked for information I'd already given, and then congratulated me and told me the service was working (it is not) ... the rep finally conceded they could not help me and said a Mac rep would call me on the phone in "20-30 minutes."
    It's 90 minutes later.  No follow up, no call.
    On my own I have re-started modem, re-started computer, trashed preferences for that Verizon activation software.
    The last seemed to help.
    Each time it got a little further.
    Eventually it assured me I had completed the activation process. It gave me a confirmation.
    Meantime Verizon has also e-mailed me saying congratulations, my service is up.
    But when I try to connect to any page through the DSL in a browser, I keep being re-directed the Verizon activate / welcome page (which, believe me, I am pretty tired of seeing by now.)
    https://activate.verizon.net/launch/welcome
    ... if I follow those steps, it tried to download the software *again* and start all over.
    Seems I am in an inescapable loop.  Can I really be the only one who's had this problem?
    I have now three times "activated" my internet service and still I am re-directed to the "activate" page.
    I can only say, at this point, I wish there were an alternative to this terrible company.

  • Hourly disconnects from High Speed Internet Enhanced

    Hello all, I have verizon high speed internet enhanced and have not had any problems at all with the internet since I had a verizon tech. install it. However, since 4 days ago my actiontec GT740 WGB router has been constantly disconnecting from the internet on an hourly basis. It happens up to 5 times an hour, with the disconnectiong lasting about 10-15 seconds. Now, this may not provide much of a problem, but I bought the internet basicly for my xbox 360. I cannot complete full games online versus other players because of these interuptions 'causes me to lose connection and ultimately lose the game.
    Verizon HSI Enhanced download - 10.1mbps
    Verizon HSI Enhanced upload - 0.8mbps
    I have only had my verizon for a few weeks now, but up until now it has been working extremely well. I'm a bit disappointed now, because I have read and heard of this problem, and was hoping not to encounter it.

    Hello,
    When you notice the disconnect, are the router lights turned off? Outside of playing games on the XBOX does your computer lose a connection as well?
    Please send me a private message if you still need assistance.

  • Verizon DSL - High "Speed (down/up)" Low connection rate

    Hello -
    I am doing this for myin-laws, who live in a semi-rural area.  They have Verizon DSL, and have been having very slow connection speeds for the past few months (they have the 1.5-3 Mbps, and are getting between 200-700 kpbs.  Sometimes, for a few seconds, it can get as high as 1.1 Mbps, but it never gets to 1.5.
    I have tried lots of things.  We got a new modem, reset the D-Link router to factory settings, plugged the modem directly into the desktop, rebooted everything, then rebooted again, called Verizon and talked with their overseas people, who said they would have someone look at it.
    Everything, no dice. So I'm not sure what to do. 
    Here's one thing I noticed, however.  When I go into the Modem sign in screen, and look at it (It's the Red sign in, not the Blue, on a Westell 6000 DSL modem), they get a very high "Speed (down/up)" level.  Something like 1740 down, and 500-something up.
    But the actual downloads are nothing like that.
    Is that significant to anything? 
    My other situation is that I am not at their computer now (I am back in the city).  When I left their place, I did not know about these boards, and I can't remember any of the other information that is from the modem sign-in.  That one piece, however, seemed strange to me (a high "Speed (down/up)" level, but slow reality.
    As you think about it, could that lead to any clues or solutions I should look for the next time I go up there?
    Thanks for reading this.

    The closest proper sync rate that the modem would show for speed would be 1792/448Kbps, which would be the 1.5Mbps provisioning of the 1.5-3Mbps package. Verizon usually configures the speed lower if the line is not capable of holding a full 3Mbps or even an "optimized" flavor of it (which is ~2600kbps down, 640kbps up). Anyways, the next time you get the chance, I'm going to need the following information from their line:
    1: What do their modem Transceiver Statistics look like? If running a Westell modem, visit http://192.168.1.1/ , choose System Monitoring, Advanced Monitors and then click Transceiver Statistics. Post up what you see there. For ActionTec modems, check the Status pages of the ActionTec for DSL Stats. The address to ActionTecs are the same.
    2: Find out if the slow speeds are taking place all the time, or only during the evening hours
    3: Go to http://visualroute.visualware.com on their PC and choose the closest server to them. Let the Java applet load, and when it does it will show you a "Trace" box with your relative's IP address filled in. Press Trace and let it complete. When it completes, move the mouse over the second-last Circle (second from the right) and take down the name of it. If you see "ERX" in the name, please tell me.
    If you are prompted for a Username/Password while doing Step 1, try the following:
    admin/password
    admin/password1
    admin/admin
    admin/admin1

  • Upgrading to high speed internet enhanced with budget local phone service?

    Searched for this issue but can't locate anything on here.  I have gotten conflicting information on this by phone and online chat.  When I click on "Order Now" for High Speed Internet Enhanced (29.99) it takes me to the bundle page where it wants me to add TV service and upgrade my phone.  All I want to do is upgrade to enhanced from the regular High Speed (19.99). 
    I don't know which dept I was connected to 1st on the phone, but her system wasn't allowing her to order it for me.  She referred me to E center who wasn't sure and asked the online chat people sitting near him who said I have to upgrade my phone as well to get enhanced?
    Is this true?  I need to have a regional calling plan to upgrade to High Speed Internet Enhanced?  Instead of paying an extra 10 bucks a month, it jumps to an extra 25 to 30 per month. 
    Does anyone else have budget phone service with High Speed Enhanced?

    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish.

  • Neighbors Have High Speed Internet but Systems Says Not Available

    Hello,
    I have been trying for the past week to get High Speed Internet with Verizon.  Two times I received an email saying… Although your line qualified for High Speed Internet service during the initial phases of the order process, unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with Internet access on your line ending in 0602 .
    I live in a small subdivision on the outskirts of Colonial Beach, Virginia with approximately 500 homes.
    I have two neighbors, one on each side of me i one  would be the closest to the substation) and another neighbor about one block past my house.  The second neighbor drives past my house every day to get to their house.
    I spoke with a local Verizon employee who told me the computer was turning down the High Speed Internet because of distance and that I needed to have someone at the local office, over-ride the automatic turn down so that it would be installed.  After the second computer automated turn down, I spoke with Eric – he said to give the next tech this information – Acct Number XXXXXX  Order Number XXXXX at the DSL Technical support so we could get this resolved.  The DSL Technical support guy was NOT interested in obtaining the account number or Order number Eric gave and said either the Router was filled or I was too far from the Loop.  I explained the neighbors and it still didnot seem to matter.  He was foreign and we did seem to have a significant language barrier.  He then transferred me back to Sales. 
    Over and over I requested to speak with the actual Local Office in Warsaw, VA so I could be given a reasonable explanation.   I spoke with a woman who said the two neighbors were closer to the loop than me.  When I asked how this was possible if I am in the center of the two she said maybe it was because of a curve in the road?  She also said she was the local office but was not able to tell me where that office was located so obviously it was not the actual "local" office.
    How can I get someone to physically come out and determine why I cannot get High Speed Internet?  Who can I contact to make a formal complaint.  
    Thank you for any input.

  • "High Speed Internet isn't available at your address"

    Hi,
    We're looking to rent a house that is on a large piece of property in our town. This house has never been rented before and served as a guest house of sorts for the much larger house on the same property.  The owner of this larger house has Verizon Fios service, and the whole town is served well with Verizon (we're a suburb of Los Angeles so not in the boonies at all).  
    Because this house has never had service before I am trying to figure out if we can get high speed internet there.  I looked online and it told me that high speed internet is unavailable, but I don't know if this is something that is decisive or just because there has never been service at this house before so it doesn't show up online. 
    My question is whether Verizon is able and willing to install cable or dsl service in this location--as it is only a matter of extending it ether from the main house (halfway to the street) or from the street itself.  
    My wife and I depend on high speed internet for both work and entertainment, so this is a deciding factor in our taking this otherwise excellent house.  
    The owner says that because she has Verizon FIOS it shouldn't be a problem to extend service to the other house, but I want to check to see if this is something that can and would be done.  
    Thanks for any guidance you can provide.  

    Thanks for the helpful replies!
