Slow fios upload speeds in northern NJ

Question

I have 50/50 internet but the upload speed is extremely slow.  Download speeds are usually somewhere between 50-60 mbps any time during the day.  Upload speeds are around 30 mbps during the mornings and in the evenings it gets as low as 5 mbps.
They replaced the box outside, inside, and also the modem...Still the same thing. The upload speed seems very consistent everyday being faster in the morning and slowing down in the evenings.
Is the service in my area oversold?  The only time I got 50 mbps upload speeds was on new years day(morning).
Verizon shouldn't advertise that upload speeds is the same as download.

Well, then I'm not sure what you expect to get from posting here.  In case you didn't notice, you're talking to peers here.  There are a bunch of network savvy folks here, but we can't help you if you don't give us details.  We only know what you tell us, nothing more.  if you're convinced the problem is in Verizon's network, then there is nothing we other users can do for you.
I suggest you try some large file transfers as well.  Speedtest sites are very useful tools, but sometimes real world testing is important too.  Some quick tests could be uploading movies to FaceBook or YouTube.  If you have other well connected servers you can use, try them too.
Remember that the Internet is ultimately a shared medium, regardless of what Verizon's marketing department says.  If you're testing through links that are loaded, then speed will drop.  Using other servers and test sites will help determine if some links are busier than others.
Enjoy.
