Why this DSL service so slow

We just got the basic DSL service, and I was suprise how slow Verizon is.
A small few megabites file takes a year to download.
Verizon siads this is a high speed service, when and where ?
Not here for sure, someone should take Verizon to Court for lie to the customers.
Anyway this can improbe ?
Thanks

Log into the Westell at http://192.168.1.1/ from any PC and then do the following, based on what you see.
1: If you see a Red and Black Verizon page with a bunch of information on it, click on the System Monitoring at the top navigation and then choose Advanced Monitors on the Left hand side Navigation. Press Yes past the prompt if any appears, and then choose Trasceiver Statistics.
2: If you see a Blue and White Westell page, select Troubleshooting, DSL, and then choose DSL/Transceiver Statistics.
Provide the Information you see there by copying and pasting it. It will contain information such as Attenuation, Margin, Power Level, and show the modem speed.
Should you be asked for a login, try the following:
admin/password
admin/password1
admin/admin
admin/admin1
Your Verizon Username and Password
The information I'm asking for here will let users who help on this board see how your line is running. If the physical loop is OK, they will have to check into other things. In the past, Verizon tech support agents used to ask for this information over the phone to verify how a line was operating, even though they could probably pull it up from the equipment on their end. Lately it seems that many of the agents no longer ask for this information for whatever reason (either they cannot see it, or are not trained to do so) but it's often a great place to start when slow speeds and disconnects are occurring.
#3 If you can't log-in to the router, please post and we will go from there to try to figure out what is going on....

  • Can anyone explain why this site is so slow to load?

    Strangely, it pops up fine in Safari but is excruciatingly slow to load in Firefox and IE (with graphics and some of the audio player icons not showing for literally multiple minutes, etc.):
    http://ddjackson.net/D.D.JacksonDemos.html
    Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated!
    - D.D.

    You may be better served by making a new page for each audio file.
    The page loads slowly because each of the 8 MP3's must begin their download before the next page element can be downloaded. They don't have to completely download (just start) and the QuickTime browser plug-in will be used to play them.
    Each time your page loads completely you're using over 50MB's of your bandwidth limits. This could become expensive if you have bandwidth pricing.
    Consider using just a minute of each MP3 in the QuickTime .mov container with a link to the entire file (as you have now) in MP3 format. Saves bandwidth and speeds up the page load time.

  • HT1766 why is my phone so slow, it has never been this slow and it constantly restarts it's self...?

    why is my phone so slow, it has never been this slow and it constantly rests it's self ??

    Hello, mackenzienesbitt. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are a couple resources that have some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue. 
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • 3 weeks of intermittent / slow DSL service

    For the past 3 or so weeks I have had days where my internet speed was as slow as my old dial up connection, some times even slower or there was no connection at all. I have also had days in between where it will work fine. My neighbor who also has Verizon DSL is having the same issue at the same time I am having these issues.
    I have the basic DSL service and speed test shows 1.02 mbps download and 0.38 mbps upload when it seems to be working ok. I have yet to try it when it starts slowing down since it takes forever to load a page.
    I am just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues or what can be done to fix the problem? I live in southeast Virginia in zip 23487.

    Yes.  I was having similar issues.
    I signed up for Xfinity Internet and am finding it to be faster (when it works), but just as awful when it doesn't.
    I haven't decided which service to jetison yet.
    Maybe both of them and go back to reading the paper.
    Infrastructure in this country seems to be colapsing all around us.

  • 7 MB DSL service - why or why not?

    I live in southern New Jersey (just outside Atlantic City), with 3 MB DSL service.  When I ask about upgrading to 7 MB service I am told that the service is not available, but the customer service reps do not have any detail as to why.
    I'm wondering if this means that there is no 7 MB service rolled out anywhere in this part of NJ, or if others have it but my distance from the CO prevents the higher speeds.  Of course FIOS isn't available here yet, and I'm finding the 2.5 MB data rates I typically get to be marginal at times. 
    I'm hoping not to have to donate any money to the local cable co., but I at least need some hope that Verizon has plans to get me faster service soon.  Thanks for the info.

    There is absolutely nothing that prevents Verizon, or any other service provider from provisioning your service at 7mbps.
    However just because you are provisioned for  (and pay for) that service is no guarantee at all that you will get 7mbps service.
    Your actual service speed is the lower of the maximum speed your modem can negotiate with the Central Office, or the provisioned speed. What can be successfully negotiated between modem and Central Office Equipment is entirely dependent upon the copper pair that connects them, and biggest single contributor to the speed limits is distance from the Central Office Equipment.
    So there is nothing to prevent a third party (or Verizon) from offering you 7 mbps service except ethics and perhaps the Consumer Fraud office of your State's Attorney General. Generally if you accept payment for goods or services that you know cannot  be delivered, it is called fraud.
    In fact there is no guarantee that if you have 3mbps/768kb service, you will in fact get it. That's one of the reasons I became a FiOS customer. The best I could get was about 600kbs on the uplink (transceiver statistics, not speed test), and in bad weather, my downlink fell to about 2.5mbps (again, transceiver statistics, not speed test).. Those were simply the limits because of the copper pair that connected me to the Central Office.
    So at the end of the day, it is actually Verizon being honest about the situation.
    As for cable companies. I have no love for them. In my experience they are most inept Internet Service Providers on the Planet. They are the only people who can customer service that is actually on par with Verizon's customer service. Your Mileage May Vary....

  • Why does this forum perform much slower than form forum in metalink?

    I feel strongly that this forum performs much slower than the form forum in metalink where there are even more active and more issues created there.
    I don't know why Oracle creates two form forum, which one is faster and another one is slower.
    What is the difference b/w them besides here is jsp pages and over there is plsql pages?

    Oracle certainly allows you to have users that do not have roles. Or users that don't have any system privileges. Or users that don't have any object privileges.
    If you want the query to return a row for every row in DBA_USERS, you would need to outer join all the other tables to DBA_USERS.

  • Why is this Macbook pro so slow?

    I've had 3 other macs prior to this one and have never expierienced such a slow computer by Apple.
    I got the 15" 2.2Ghz, so naturally, I was expecting a lot better than my previous 13" models, but from near enough day 1 this thing has been slow as anything.
    I'm constantly getting the rainbow circle loading wheel, processes freezing up, things as simple as trying to navigate through the finder or system preferences, and everything seems to take way longer.
    I've barely installed anything also, I installed Adobe CS5 and a couple small applications but not much else, besides Chrome and adium for IMing.
    At first I was questioning if I need more ram? My previous laptop had 8gb, and this only has 4, but for what I'm doing on a daily basis, 4GB should surely be way more than enough?
    Everything is just super slow and sluggish

  • New DSL service disconnects frequently

    Bit on the $17.99 offer for 1mb DSL service. First time it was available in my area. Talked on phone around 20 July. Modem and filters arrived in about 5 days and startup day was 29 July.  Got an automated phone call saying man would come to house to do some checks between 8 am and 5 pm, but that he wouldn't need to come inside.  He never came because I live down a long lane and I watched all day for him. Installation using CD and instructions on my end went ok, and was soon online on 29th.  Westell modem 7500.  
    But, then found that my connection dropped regularly.  A couple of times it stayed on for 4 hours, but mostly it stays on 2-3 minutes and then is off for 2-3 minutes, etc.  Sometime it is off for hours at a time.  The service is not available when the green internet light goes out on the Westell modem.
    So I call the 1-800-567-6789 Verizon number for help.  As you probably know it takes 20-30 minutes of phone time to wait before you talk to an actual person.  The recordings tell you that most problems solved by turning off and back on your modem, computer, etc.  As if we hadn't already done that multiple times already.  And the recordings tell you there is lots of help on various websites . . . as if you could get to those websites without having your DSL connection actually working for an extended period of time.
    The help gal then tells me to do all the things I had already done, like turning off and on, etc.  She then says she ran some tests that show no problem.  Meanwhile the internet light on my modem is sometimes on and sometimes off.  But still no problem shows on her tests, she says.  Now the internet light has stayed on for maybe 10 minutes, so she says she is done because everything probably OK.  I tell her this is not uncommon that it stays on for 10 minutes or even a few hours, but eventually it always drops the connection.  She says she can't upgrade me to next level of help since it is my first call.  I say, you mean I have to call back tomorrow with the same problem.  She says, yes.
    OK, next day same problems but I can't take the time to call so a day is burnt.
    Third day the internet light stays on for 4 hours, so I am feeling pretty good.  But then the light goes out and I loose my connection at around 10:30 PM.  Too late for me to start a call, so another day is burnt.
    Fourth day, yesterday, mostly a repeat of previous day, so at around 8 PM, I call the 1-800 number again.  Go through the same 20-30 minutes of wait time with suggestions to turn off and on everything, go to websites, etc.
    Got a gal in Phillipines.  Pretty good English and very pleasant.  She says there is no record of my first call, so this is really my first call.  However, after I complain about that, she talks to her supervisor and he/she says they can upgrade m to next level of help.
    So she tells me a tech expert will start testing my line.  After 15-20 minutes she tells me there is a problem with my modem 'authenticating' so they will send me a new modem.  But I remember reading another thread here by a guy who got 3 Westell modems and still had problems . . . . so I am not overly hopeful about the outcome for me either.  Why does Verizon stick with a modem that is known to have multiple problems??
    Anyway, I was on the phone with Verizon that time for close to an hour and a half.
    Next day, which is today, my wife fields an automated call from Verizon which says they are going to send a tech to our house and for her to punch in some numbers, which she can't do because she doesn't know what time I want.  The recording gives her an 1-800 number to call back to schedule the time.
    I am floored when I see the number is actually 1-800-567-6789, because I know what hell is waiting for me when I call that number.  And I have to go through this hell just to reply to a call from Verizon which asks me to call them back to schedule the appointment.  But that number has nothing to do with scheduling appointments.
    So I call the 1-800 and go through the same **bleep** as before with all the recorded helpful hints about turning off and on, go to websites for help etc.  But I am simply trying to reply to a call from Verizon to set up the techs time to come.
    Then the recordings finally get to the point where I punch the 1 if I still need to talk to a person.  Have been on the line already about 10 minutes.  The voice says the wait time will be less than 5 minutes.  15 minutes later I am still getting the news that my wait time will be less than 5 minutes.
    Finally a guy from India answers.  I have now been on the phone for close to 25 minutes waiting for this real person.
    He starts telling me to turn off and on my modem, etc.  I tell him I am just replying to call from Verizon to set up the time for tech to come to my house.  He tells me I have called the wrong number.  I tell him it was the number the recording said to call.  He says he will try to transfer me.  I panic.  He then tells me when he talks to another dept they tell him there is no record of my ever having called with any problems.  I yell at him.  He talks some more to someone on another line and reports that they actually now find that I have called before . . . in fact just last night.
    OK, so now he tells me he will transfer me to the person who will help with the appointment.  But this new gal asks me what lights are showing on my modem.  I say, what does that matter and how is it relevant to scheduling the guy to come.  And anyway, I don't have the modem turned on because I think that is not a good idea to leave it on all the time.
    She insists that I must turn on the modem and . . . for first time that anyone at Verizon has ever told me . . . she says I should leave it on constantly until the problem is solved.  This apparently is because the tech people might be trying to do some tests on my line even before they arrive at my house.  OK, so I turn it on and the green internet light does not go on during the rest of our conversation.
    So she schedules the tech to come to my house next Thursday, 6 August.  I ask what time he will arrive.  She straight faced (I presume) said I must wait there all day 8 am to 5 pm.  I ask her if she doesn't realize the absurdity of this.  She will only comment that that is the way Verizon does it.
    I then ask her if she doesn't also recognize the absurdity of the 40 minutes I have spent on the phone, being cycled around, when I was only returning a call from Verizon to schedule an appointment.  She gives a nonsensical answer, so I repeat the facts.  Now she does admit that it is probably not fair and there should be a better number to call rather than the general 1-800 number for this situation.  I ask her if they ever talk about these absurd situations and poor customer service things at staff meetings or with their supervisors.  She doesn't answer that question, instead asking me if there is anything else she can do for me today.  I say that yes, there is something else, and that is to answer my question about what the staff meetings have to say about these absurd situations and what do her supervisors say about it.

    #1 Check the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Servers on your computer.
    This means for example if you are on Windows XP...
    a) Go to Start -> Run.
    b) Type in
    cmd
    and press enter.
    c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in
    ipconfig /all
    and press enter.
    #2 With your web browser go to the default gateway.
    #3 Enter in the current user name and password of the router.
    The default User Name is
    admin
    and the password is
    password.
    Thanks dslr.  OK, I did what you said and found the default gateway was  192.168.1.1
    When I went to that place on my browser, there was no place for User Name or Password.
    But under the column 'Gateway Status' I saw:
    Download:  1181 Kbps
    Upload:         447 Kbps 
    Connect Type:  PPPoE
    So how does this info help in my problem of frequent disconnects?
    Or did I still not get to the place you wanted me to go?
    Thanks much. 

  • Fed UP With this Horrid Service!

    So.... I've had verizon Dsl for a while, for a few years now and in the first year I've had to replace the wireless modem they gave me three times. I switched to a Netgear modem and it worked wonders. I recently upgraded my internet to a DSL Dryloop plan. My problem is that Even with the SMALLEST amount of rain or any weather releated events, my internet connection goes out. My last drop was last week and I wasn't able to use the internet for four days. this has been happening even more since I've upgraded. I am using a Netgear DGND3300 modem/router. If anyone can help me, Please do or I'm switching to road runner. This isn't the first time Verizon services has let me down/ make me dislike them even more.

    While I work for the company, I am not directly involved with DSL services, but I have had DSL for several years. I myself have had to replace to replace the wireless modem. I had been told by a tech who came to my home that if the home is far from the central office, that the modem works harder to maintain connection and that the modem can burn out. This may have been what has happened to you the first few times you replaced the modem.
    I was also that the if the line conditions are questionable, a slower speed dsl will perform more consistently than at the higher speed. I don't believe that moving from DSL with phone service to dry loop is an upgrade. Did you change your speed when you moved to dry loop?

  • Why is my internet so slow and laggy

    Ive had this proble for a few weaks now, I cant warch any HQ videos online without it constantly stoping and loading, like every 2 seconds. I bought my macbook pro about 4 months ago. Im on OS X Mountain lion 10.8.2, 2.9 GHz intel Core i7 prossesor, and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I dont understand why this is happening and it is driving me insane.

    I am asking what download speed are you paying for in your "fairly expensive" package.
    DSL you are sharing up and down stream with your neighborhood. Again I would put a call into your service provider and ask them what has changed,  and what can they do- to eliminate this variable which you have no control.
    You can option click on your Wi-Fi menulet upper right corner and get some info about how you are communicting with your router.
    2.4 Ghz or 5.0 Ghz,  something change in your environment, micro wave, moved the router, moved the computer, ad infinitum.

  • DSL is Brutally Slow

    My Verizon DSL connection has become very slow in the last several months.  FIOS is not available here so DSL for Verizon is my only option except for switching to my cable provider for internet service which I am about to do if my DSL speed cannot be consistantly improved.
    I have spent hours on the phone with customer service (they are always very helpful and patient) as well as speaking with Tier 2 technicians.  I have recievled a new modem and my trunk line connection has been changed several times at wherever that takes place (somewhre in Maryland, I think).  Mys DSL is still slow and inconstistant.  Speedtest.net sometimes shows good speeds but most of the time my DL speed is 1.0 or less (a lot less msot of the time) and my UL is okay at 0.4 or 0.5. 
    I have a sales job and work from home 90% of the time and my wife works from home about 20% of the time.  We need good speeds or our company VPN's become unusable. 
    I do not want to change ISP's but I'm at the end of my rope with my DSLservice.  Please help if you can.
    Thank you.

  • Why is my iPod so slow since ios5

    Why is my iPod so slow after I updated to ios5.

    first turn off iCloud, as much as we all love it, it makes out devices really slow and it tends to make the home screen freeze after unlocking at times. next you want to limit the things in both spotlight, and the apps in your notification center. turning off location services is also a good way to cut down on memory usage and so is removing the weather and stock widget for the notification center.
    these things will speed up your device, but the most important to remove out of all of these is iCloud, the others are just more suggestions(:
    also remove unwanted apps running in the background by double tapping the button, holding on an app until it goes into toggle mode, and click the red minus button to stop it from taking up memory in the background...
    this will 100% speed up your device and get rid of unwanted bugs/glitches(:
