That's pretty much what my advertised "super-fast" DSL from AT&T looks like. :angry:

My ADSL took 11 months to install and FIOS came 4 months later. Verizon wanted an other "setup fee" for FIOS so I went elsewhere. As it turns out Optimum online had 100 Mb cable on my block and I didnt know it. I hated to move big time. Last edited: Jun 6, 2012

I live so close to the forest I have no other wifi's (secured or unsecured) which is a bit of a bummer if the power goes down. It is good because since no one else is on the same upstream router that I sometimes get a flat 50 Mb down. Good for those times when you have to download symbol packages.

GZ Visiting Expert Joined Apr 8, 2012 Posts 1,302 Location New Jersey Jun 7, 2012 #18 John, how many computers/devices are connected to your home network using bandwidth? Unfortunately I couldn't get the full 7Mb/s service at my location. here... I am stuck at a little over 5Mb/s... This was taken while streaming Star Trek: TOS from Netflix, so the numbers aren't entirely accurate. It is sufficiently fast when I am not having connection problems.

That's it. I know exactly what verizon will say - "inside wiring problem", but I already ran a phone line to the box outside... that was the last screenshot. I'd probably do better w/the hard-wired analog phone in the Lincoln + an old modem from 1990!!
