Verizon I Want DSL

I live in the country and my only option is satellite. I am fed up with it. I had it for 5 years. I am in college and need it a lot for school. Since I need it a lot for school, I constantly hit the data limit which is 17GB per month. Once I hid it, it takes at least a month to get the speeds back. Wireless is out of the question because of the low data limits on that too. Besides I live too far out for wireless. Here are a few reasons why you need to bring DSL to my area.
1) School/College - so many people need the internet for schools these days. Without it they miss out on the education they can receive online. It seems like every time we get a project in college, you need the internet.
2) Online Courses - So many people would love to do online courses to receive and education and can’t because all we can get is satellite and with that, they’d push your speeds to dialup. With dialup speeds you’d flunk your courses. Can’t do Wireless because of the strict data limits on that too.
3) We are missing out on the same fun as everybody else. We can’t watch youtube videos, we can’t enjoy services such as Netflix, can’t download too many songs.
Also I guarantee if you sent a letter to people saying that you’d bring DSL if they are willing to pay $60 a month, I guarantee they’d say yes. I spoke with one of your represenatives, and she told me that rural citizens are out of luck and don't expect anything until 2030. DSL is so much fun and it breaks my heart that you have abandoned all rural customers. Don’t tell me you can’t afford it because you guys make money off of phone, DSL, wireless, fios, cell phones, TV, and accessories.

In all seriousness: Get you and a bunch of people nearby you to talk Verizon into installing a few of these: http://www.adtran.com/web/page/portal/Adtran/group/3435
I know Verizon uses ADTRAN as a supplier for their ADSL2+ DSLAMs, and something like this I'm surprised Verizon hasn't really taken up to try and grab a few people for Internet. I mean, just look at it. Line-powered, Pole-mountable DSLAM that can run off of several T1 lines (Not much but if Verizon does things right even with congestion it'll still destroy what you've got now.) or off of a Fiber circuit and can be tied into the existing DSL/ATM Network they currently own. They do ADSL2+ as well and can seriously be purchased by anyone since they're not too expensive.

The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

Can Anyone Help Me Configure My Verizon (D-Link) DSL-2750B "Traffic Shaping" (QoS)?

Well ... I just spent a wonderful hour and a half (not) bouncing around VZ technical support, etc. trying to get assistance regarding configuring my DSL router.* Between the low-quality Skype connection to India and my lack of success, I'm a little bummed out right now.
Could one of you perhaps help me? I'm trying to configure a single, wire-attached network node (port 4 of the router) so that it can only consume up to 320 Kbps of my 750 Kbps (7.5 Mbps) DSL bandwidth ... no matter what. This results from this node consuming virtually all of the circuit's bandwidth when streaming or during bulk file transfers.
I have tried to remedy the problem using priority with no discernible impact.
The Quality of Service (QoS) element called Traffic Shaping (Services | QoS | Traffic Shaping), described on Page 51 of the VZ DSL-2750B User Manual , appears to be the ideal solution to my problem. Repeated attempts at activating this QoS have all resulted in no throttling of bandwidth consumption.
My most recent attempt was to define the device on Port 4 as the DMZ host ... and then apply a new rule (320 TX, 320 RX) to this interface. Again, no joy.
Does anyone have any experience with this service on this router?
Am I chasing my tail trying to configure the router without validating that my circuit is not configured with "Fastpath (PSE) inactive"?
If the circuit configuration is a potential problem, which office should I ask for at VZ customer service?
Here is the information from the System page of the Router Control Panel:
Gateway ID: PX2M1BC000000
Software Version: 5.4.12.1.44
Release Date: Feb 19 2012
Platform: D-Link DSL-2750B
Board Tag:... Ntag-5_4_12_1_44
Compilation Flags:... LIC=/home/bat/bat/dlink_bcm96328_5_4_12_1/20120219_1343/conf/jpkg_bcm9636x_dlink.lic CONFIG_RG_PROD_IMG=y DIST=DLINK_DSL2750B
I'll note that the Router provides a notification that "RX QOS might not operate when Fastpath (PSE) is active" when I update the router configuration page concerning Traffic Shaping. Because Fastpath is not mentioned in the User Manual, I'm guessing that Fastpath (PSE) might be a configurable attribute of the circuit servicing my PoP, but I have no idea if this is the case.
I searched for relevant messages on this board ... without success. If this has already been addressed, please provide a link, and accept my apologies. (My Google-Fu tends to be weak.)

The asterisk in the first post refers to the following summary of events:
10:40 - Attempt to solve my configuration question using VZ chat begins.
10:49 - VZ chat agent Danish refers me to phone support. (Chat ID number is 020813176471 if you're with VZ and are interested.)
10:50 - Call VZ phone support.
11:02 - Talk with Angel. Because she has not heard of, nor received training in, "traffic shaping," she says my question about configuring this VZ DSL modem must be addressed by "Premium Technical Support." She transfers me.
11:13 - Talk with Pamela. Premium Technical Support only responds to questions about 3d party products. Because my question concerns a VZ DSL modem, Basic Technical Support is responsible. She transfers me.
11:17 - Talk with Joe. He says either the vendor (D-Link) or premium technical support is required. Because I had already tried with D-Link (they referred me to Verizon, as this modem was built exclusively for VZ), I explained what I had already experienced, and described how I wanted "assistance configuring my VZ DSL modem, specifically a feature described on page 51 of the User Manual." He transfers me.
11:23 - The automated phone system asks for my 12-digit customer ID. I wasn't able to find it fast enough, and rolled through to Financial Services. Eventually Trig picked up, listened to my story, and transferred me to "Technical Support" providing the direct dial number, just in case (866.945.79xx).
11:32 - Entered the phone queue. Lots of hissing and clicks.
11:35 - Talk with Monika. (The voice clarity from this point onward was on the order of 1st-generation Skype. Between the horrible language problem -- Monika is in India don'cha know -- and the lousy line quality, this was the most frustrating.) No matter what I said, I couldn't convey the reason for my call. I asked to talk with a supervisor, which Monika related was not possible. She also related that she could not transfer me to an American POC or supervisor.
12:01 - Hung up the phone ... and started down the path that led to my post immediately above.
I was repeatedly queried about the account name and number throughout the process. Conveying this information was especially challenging during the Indian call segment.

Is there a better way to deal with Verizon and my DSL issues?

My family and I have been with Verizon for as long as we've had broadband internet. For the past 5 years or so the internet has been shaky at best. For the most part it works, but a coupe times a year it stops working all together or becomes VERY intermittent (and is usually working by the time I get finished sitting on hold and the test the technician runs shows no problems). Every time I have to wrestle with the "tech support" on the phone and listen to a recording tell me the same things over and over again that never fix my problems.
Every time my internet gets to this point, it requires a visit from a Verizon technician. Usually they go out into the neighborhood and find a length of cable and replace it. Usually that fixes my issues for a while, but I know it will happen again. It always happens again. It seems to me that the entire length of line that my internet runs through is old, and needs to be replaced. Instead of fixing the problem before it actually becomes a problem, Verizon continues to leave me and my family without service for periods of time.
Last week was the most recent time we dealt with this situation, which was fortunately short lived (Only all day Sunday, into Monday when the technician arrived). It's getting VERY tiring dealing with this situation over and over again, and it's getting offensive honestly. To hear the tech support person tell me that I will be charged $91 if the problem is found and is inside my house is ridiculous. I would understand if this was the first time this situation had occurred, or if I frequently reported non-issues. But no, I'm simply reporting the same issue that Verizon has failed to fix MANY times before.
Perhaps the most frustrating part of this, is that we've never been compensated for our lost service. Last year we lost service for an entire week. That's an entire week with no internet service at all. After we finally got it back, we spoke with the billing department and they told us that we would be credited for the week we lost service. At this point, we are yet to see any credit for the time we have been without the service we pay for. Perhaps we would have tried dealing with Verizon again to get our weeks credit, but attempting to contact someone in Verizon seems futile. Unless you're calling sales you end up sitting on hold for extended periods of time, only to be bounced from person to person until you get to someone that has no excuse not to pretend to help you.
Unless something changes, this is Verizon's last opportunity to keep our service. We have dealt with the loss of service followed by the insult of attempting to deal with Verizon's customer support for the last time. Next time it happens (and I'm sure there will be a next time) unless Verizon shows us that they are actually going to correct the problem, we will cancel our service and give our business to the competitor. This post is being written for a few reasons. I'm hoping that perhaps Verizon can give me a better way to contact someone locally when we have a problem (I would LOVE to speak with a regional manager, or even a local manager of some sort), or at least recognize that there is a problem that will end up costing them money.
Thank you,
A long time customer.

I've decided to give up the fight and go to another provider. I have work to do and having to wait at speeds slower than dial up is insane. At least with dial up I'd have some stability. I can't even run speedtest because it won't connect. At hotels, wi-fi, and hanging by blackberry the laptop works fine but to actually use dsl, nope. Multiple machines and multiple browsers - it's all the same worthless bandwidth.
If they won't give you fios then there is no reason to stay. They've been promising me the service is coming for the last 6 years. They could have run it here by now for the postage they've spent trying to get me to switch to it even though it isn't available. Waste, waste, waste ....

Is Verizon still selling DSL services these days?

I am in a new place that used to have slow DSL with Verizon, but it is no longer available when I try to order. I know Verizon won't deploy more FIOS and does offer expensive capped cellular Internet. Landline would be nicer beside very slow dial-up.
Thank you in advance.

Wondering this myself? Just tried moving my DSL from one line to another in my home and the woman told me that since my local Verizon office wasn't offering new DSL in the area that the system wouldn't let her transfer the service from one line to another in the SAME house.

Hey Verizon I want to hear from you on this

Ok, so we all know the droid x has issues with wifi connections. You can connect to a router, obtain an IP and yet you still cannot go online. Well I was assured by the friendly rep I talked to at verizon that when I got the update to my phone it would fix the problem. Well last night I was able to update my phone to the 2.3.15 release. I noticed some of my buttons, and icons have changed but guess what. Wifi still doesnt work. So Verizon I would like to know why I would want a phone that is supposed to give me wifi access to the internet (I am talking about connecting to a router not hot spot) but does not work correctly? The only answer I have ever been given is that I need to change the settings on my router. Yeah well thats not acceptable especially when I should be able to connect to public hot spots. Now I really hope to get an answer from someone that actually knows what they are talking about. Because from my experience its luck of the draw when you call whether or not you get someone technically savvy enough to even understand this problem. I am starting to find this whole thing really frustrating and wondering if I didnt just screw myself by not returning this phone within the 30 day trial period.

Hey Wildman,
Two things, one I know verizon employees troll these boards because I have been contacted by them. It would be a waste of their time and money to have this here and not use it to get an idea of customer issues or satisfaction. Its the same thing as my company does with their facebook site. That aside, it was more to vent my frustrations.
Now in regards to the wifi connection. I do get a connection, I can obtain an IP from any router I connect too. However, from there I cannot ever actually access the internet. This is the same problem I have been having since about a week after I got the phone in July. Everything worked great, I was able to access the internet through wifi and about a week after I got the phone an update went through that killed all of my wifi connections. I was then told that the froyo 2.2 update would solve this problem but since downloading it last night I have not seen even the slightest change. I turn on wifi, connect to any open network, get an ip address, strong signal strength etc and yet no pages can actually load. Now, as far as the router goes, I can try rebooting my home router but consider that this phone is supposed to automatically connect to any remembered open network, such as the one at work which I use the most, but even if it was Starbucks or Mcdonalds for that matter there is no reason why I should have to take so many steps for this to work. I know my home router works just fine as it runs my laptop and xbox wirelessly. I know my routers at work are working just fine as they allow just about anything to connect including a number of android devices. As a matter of fact the only devices I have seen not work are droid x's. Should i call my IT department and tell them that they need to reboot their routers because my Verizon droid X isn't capable of doing what it should? Or ask Mcdonalds and Startbucks to do the same?
I dont mean to come off as being sarcastic, and I appreciate your comments but I know this has been an issue from the get go, I have spent a lot of time researching this online. I know specifically how I could fix the issue by going into router settings but that shouldnt have to be the case. And the only responses I have ever seen from verizon is "well why would you need wifi if you have 3g" "Froyo will fix that" "change your router settings" Somehow I feel like verizon, or Motorolla whomever would be responsible for this, have really dropped the ball with this issue and personally I am fed up with the lack of corporate america giving two{word filter avoidance} about customer satisfaction. I have dropped enough money into verizon over the past 10 years as a customer and instead of getting answers to my issue with wifi they send me a freaking t-shirt. I wouldnt even have this phone if it werent for the what I thought was a very knowledgeable phone sales person that really sold me on the product with numerous claims of what the x does. Now I am dissapointed to say I have found 1 too many droid does nots to keep quiet.
no one expects you to keep quiet....but why don't you just send it back for a replacement instead of all this? If what was explained to you as a fix doesn't work then send it back.
As for VZW not caring about customer satisfaction...definately not true. Just because it's a large corp it does not make it evil. I work for a very large international company and customer care is very important.

PlayStation3 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.

Slow DSL performance NOT due to Verizon OR to DSL modem--BUT THE ETHERNET ROUTER

I don't participate in Forums usually, but stumbled on something that was VERY useful to me today, and think it might be helpful to others--it may already have been discovered before; if so, it won't hurt to repeat it.
I had spent DAYS trying to figure out why I was getting such terrible download speeds when my modem told me Verizon was delivering the speed I'm paying for. Talked to Verizon support, turned modem on and off--even updated DSL modem firmware. NO ONE suggested the thing that made the difference--TURNING THE ***ETHERNET ROUTER*** ON AND OFF. Just a desperation, what-the-hell-it-can't-hurt sort of move on my part, but when I did it, MY SPEED PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY VANISHED. I'm not a tecchie, but suspect the issue has something to do with things getting out of synch in the Ethernet subsystem. I don't know why this simple method isn't one of the STANDARD things mentioned in "fix-it" lists--or why the Verizon tech person didn't mention it. Hope it helps someone else. A Davis

One of the first questions that tech support asks people having trouble is if the DSL modem is connected directly to the modem. I don't see how they missed this step when working with you, but glad to hear that you got your issue resolved.

Verizon Shutting Rural DSL Services Down--FCC Complaints

I have a home in the rural high-desert area of California. The DSL offered was old Fujitsu frame-relay equipment. The equipment is failing and Verizon does’ not plan on repairing, replacing, or upgrading the equipment. So hundreds of people in the area are losing service. This shut down is an extremely difficult situation for those residents who have depended on the DSL service while working from home.
I know for a fact that the Fujitsu frame relay equipment is being used in other parts of the country, so does the FCC, yet they are telling me it’s not available! How much does it really cost Verizon to ship some of the unused equipment from one part of the country of the other, not much! After 7 years of service, and thousands of dollars spent on my part verizon just decides to end my service and that of hundreds of other customers so they can avoid spending perhaps a couple of thousand dollars--just so a high level manager can look good keeping their department under budget!
There are no other services available for the area. Dealing with the extremely poor Verizon customer service phone technicians has been exceptionally difficult. None of Verizon’s departments seem to be in communication with one another. The old Fujitsu frame-relay equipment requires a Fujitsu modem; I cannot begin to count the number of times the Philippine, India, and even so-called higher level technicians in the United States have tried to tell me I am using the wrong modem. A new modem even showed up in the mail last week! I have spent hours on the phone trying to resolve this problem, which usually starts with a long revolving series prompts, then a technician telling me we need to reboot the modem, and then hours of them trying to tell me it’s the wrong modem. I do not see how such a large company can allow such poor and low quality service to happen. With land-line phone service on the way out, I would think they would reconsider their poor customer service tactics to retain customers.
I will be filing two complaints, one with the Better Business Bureau and one with the FCC for not delivering services as promised and shutting down the service with notice or attempting to repair it. I am curious, how has the BBB and FCC helped resolve their Verizon service issues?

Our community of Landers and Flamingo Heights in California has completely lost Verizon broadband service, the community was serviced by older Fujitsu frame relay equipment. Losing the service wouldn’t matter so much, but for some of us there are no alternative services available. I have never been told in an official communication or letter that once the Fujitsu equipment goes bad Verizon will no longer offer broadband service in the area. Verizon just let the equipment go bad and waited for us to call in. This maneuver by Verizon leaves hundreds of customers without broadband. We are stunned that Verizon would just stop the service we depend on-the families that work from home and need broadband to make a living, the children who depend on the internet for their education, and the senior citizens you use email to communicate with their families. Do these people not matter?
We can only assume this is a cost effective money saving tactic for Verizon, but what’s amazing is how Verizon claims to support small communities and children through millions of dollars in philanthropic donations. Just one child matters, and there are numerous children in this area! Their political contributions are even more staggering, which total millions of dollars. You can see how much Verizon would rather support a politician who may or may not win than stand behind the current customers. In addition to millions spent on sporting events, stadiums, and corporate executive perks. To move one piece of equipment from one part of the country to another costs little in comparison. This goes against the Verizon credo and broadband commitment.

Our goal is to be the most respected brand in communications by making and keeping promises to our customers, our communities, our shareholders, and our employees. The Verizon Commitment and Values, along with our Credo, which appear on the inside cover of our Code of Conduct, highlights these commitments.”
My ultimate goal is to have our old copper-wire broadband service restored—upgrading to FIOS would be nice, but it’s not a necessity and not the end result we are looking for. It seems me that Verizon would stand behind their customers and continue offer them service, especially in these tough economic times. I am speaking for all the elderly citizens who can no longer communicate and enjoy email from family, the people who can no longer work from home, and the children who can no longer supplement their education through research on the internet in this area.
If you have lost your broadband service in the area and would like to get it back, please contact Verizon and voice your concern. Other alternatives are filling a BBB and FCC compliant, because Verizon has not stood behind the service they had promised us when we signed up for it. Please do not cancel your broadband service as Verizon representatives are requesting. Verizon will never give broadband back to you and they will not resolve the problem if everyone is cancelled, simply request a credit through billing.

Verizon CEO Wants To Charge Gamers & Streamers More Money For Internet Access

So if you play games or stream via netflix or other services look to pay more in the future with Verizon. Hey if they want to do that I will drop all my services to bare minimum to make up the difference.

My questioning of the logic here is, don't the heavier users already pay more for a faster connection? Sure people who barely use their connection do the same occasionally, but everyone I know who downloads Gigabytes and plays games has something Fiber-based or Coaxial-based running at 30Mbps or higher.
Exactly. I pay 60 bucks a month for 75/35 Fios. Because I know I will use a high amount of data between streaming and gaming. If Verizon wants to charge even more then I will either A take my business back to comcast (No garuntee they won't do the same) or B downgrade other services that I get from verizon to balance or even cut what I pay them. I hope all gamers and people who stream content let their voices be heard and stop this crap before it happens and we all get screwed..........

How do I import an existing cell number to SAMSUNG GUSTO 3 - Verizon Prepaid? What number do I call? Do I activate first and then request the import via the new Verizon (not wanted cell number)?

The enclosed ACTIVATION & USE MANUAL is very limited. It only tells you how to activate the phone after inputting a zip code. On the web there are many contact numbers for customer service but ALL REQUIRE a Verizon cell number.

A friend I know had this issue and was told to activate the phone first and then call *611. You also can dial from any other phone this number 1 888 294 6804 and choose 1. They both can handle the tranfer without any problem.

Cosmos VN250: 7770000001 data message from verizon wrecked my phone. I have an old plan that Verizon really wants to end. Even though I have data messages blocked, this number was sent to my phone by Verizon and while trying to receive it, it broke.

Has anyone had any kind of issue with their phone breaking after getting a message from Verizon, thereby requiring them to get a new phone, and hence, a new plan, that will be more expensive? I have an old plan, the Singlerate West 300 that they have been trying to get me off of for years. It's a great deal. Yesterday, after coming back into the country, my phone started to retrieve a message from 7770000001, which I found online is from VCAST/Verizon, and while trying to retrieve it, the screen suddenly failed so that now only the top quarter of the screen is visible, making it impossible to text or see contacts. I've been working on it on-line and with Verizon all day and my only options will all lead to me getting a new plan that is more expensive, even if I replace it with the same phone. New rule - you can't renew an old plan if it's not currently being offered. Is Verizon sending out software that can ruin a phone requiring a new one, with a new plan that's more expensive?

Droid rebooting and Verizon reps want to make it my issue!!!!!!!.......

I am having the same issues with my phone. I went into the Verizon store downtown DC last month and the customer service rep said that he also had a droid and it was rebooting on its own as well but that Verizon was supposed to be coming up with an update to solve the situation. He also told me that there was no point in getting a "NEW" refurbished phone because it would do the same thing since it was a problem with the droid's. I went in today and they told me that it was not a known problem and that I had solutions. The first was I could get the new refurbished phone and chance it happening again, I could set up a new line on an account that is not even mine, pay 9.99 for the new account and then pay the upgrade price, or I can pay full price for a different droid which runs about $500 and then they will give me a $50 credit......That does not seem like a fair solution. I work with children and need to have my phone available and working at all times in case we are outside and there is an emergency. Again the managers at the Verizon store in downtown DC said that it was not a known problem....How can it not be a known problem and there are so many people on here complaining about the same problem? This is not my problem or issue and should not be dropped in my lap. I should not have to pay more money for a phone that was already expensive to begin with.

Verizon DSL download speed not as advertised?

Well, I've been a customer of Verizon for over 5+ years now and I've had Verizon DSL for quite some time. I'm not too sure if I have either the 256kbps package or the 768kbps download speed.
My DSL modem box model is the Westell 327W.
My problem is, it has always reached a download peak of 95.4kbps, as if it was capped at that download speed. The speed never really jumps up and down, just a steady download rate of 90 ~ 95 kbps through out the day, even though I use DSL.
There are no other users besides myself that uses the internet, and wireless settings have been turned off to ensure my internet is not shared.
I do not have any type of virus on my computer, since I've switch computers very often with fresh hard drives because I tend to upgrade alot.
My current hardware and operating system specs are:
ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU [Black Edition / Overclocked: 4GHz]
2 x ATI XFX HD 5870 DDR5 (2 x 1GB) 2GB GPU [Twin Crossfire / Overclocked]
8GB (4 x 2GB) Crucial Tracer 1600 DDR3 RAM [Overclocked]
Corsair (850W Watt) Power Supply Unit
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full ATX Case
500GB Western Digital Caviar HD (Main)
250GB Western Digital Caviar HD
Prolimatech Megahalems AM3 CPU Cooler / Heatsink
2 x Asus DVD/CD Burner
Logitech G500 Gaming Laser Mouse
Logitech G15 2-Tone Gaming Keyboard
LG 30" LCD Widescreen Monitor [2560 x 1600 Resolution]
Windows 7 (64Bit) Operating System
Verizon Westell 327W DSL Modem
So I doubt it is hardware related.
My question is, is DSL suppose to be this slow and capped at 95 kbps download rate, or shall I contact a Verizon high speed internet rep because something is wrong?
also, can i "upgrade" to the new Verizon DSL with the new 1mbps download rate, for the same price I am paying right now? because I'm paying the same exact price for a slower/older version of DSL right now, which makes no sense, and I could cancel my DSL any time because my 2 year agreement has been reached years ago,
Thank you
Regards, Chris
Cheers.

I doubt the problem is with your DSL service. The Transceiver speed correspond exactly to what the 768/Kbps plan would provide. The transceiver statistics say that your DSL link is running at Kbps on the downlink side, and Kbps on the uplink side. That is the provisioning for the old 768/128 Kbps plan. If you cannot get a Kbps downlink, and/or Kbps uplink it isn't because of the DSL link.
The DSL link runs at the lower of either the provisioned speed, or the highest speed your DSL Modem can negotiate with the Central Office Equipment. You are at the provisioned speed.
So either the problem is further upstream (beyond the DSL connection ), or on your computer, perhaps due to anti-virus, or firewall settings.
You might want to run a network analyzer program such as http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov/ from the Argonne National Laboratory, and take a good look at the details of the test.

How do i convince Verizon to bring either DSL to my area? What can i do?

Their is no broudband where i live, their are enough people out here just nothing here, im not sure what to do.
I wish i could just try getting DSL from Verizon and see what kind of speed i can get, where i live dialup is useless no matter where the access number
is.
Verizon is the only phone company where i live to, they own the lines for crying outloud.
I would willingly pay twice what others have to pay just to get DSL here.
Im so despirate.
I need something fast.
And do not sugest wireless, i refuse to be slammed with limits.. i need at least 2 gigs a day 30 days a week for all the things i need and have to do.
I tried satalite and it was a joke.
Is their a number for the main office of Verizon where i can talk to a major higher up and cry my eyes out to them?
Im at my wits end.
And no i can not move, it simply is not a choice.
Help please.

There does not seem to be much we can co. A few years ago Verizon stated I qualified for DSL, one of there people even teste3d my line and said
it qualified (real short distance). They gave me a start date than kept moving it for 5 months before they decided my line did not qualify. Dial up or
satilite have been my only options. So I will be going to satilite and probably cell phones. After 23 years with this same account and never a late
payment or problems Verizon would want to keep customers.
