The change should take overnight. Once it does call in and request 1 month refund! Mention the multiple tickets and regional/global ticket they have out for this issue. I even mention your blog post to the support tech, 2nd/3rd level network tech who I talked to on the phone.

My service (15 down/5 up) was installed May 1st and the issues were immediately obvious after installation via a speed test. The tech knew there was already an issue in the area and said there was back and forth between Motorola and Verizon on who was to actually blame and couldn't give me an ETA on a fix. I do indeed get almost 15 down, but only around 0.15 up. The worst is the randomly dropped connections/packet loss which disrupts anything I was doing. Anyway, I have 30 days to cancel the contract... Just hope they put a fix in or revert the firmware! Thanks for blogging about this issue.

I checked the SamKnows report and it still shows <8 Mbps upload. We deserve a make-good: like a month or two of free video service.

My upload is down to 3-6Mbps Verizon tech confirmed that hardware upstream from us (some Motorola gateways) have been upgraded recently with modified vendor firmware. This supposedly caused all LIC and most of Queens FIOS users to share the same fate. They are working to repair the issue with no real ETA. Sad part is most users won't even notice, or report it.

For better or worse, the history of radio is very New York City-centered. Only the major accomplishments of Heinrich Hertz, who first transmitted a radio signal in Germany, Reginald Fessenden, who first transmitted the human voice in Canada, and Frank Conrad, who started the first bonafide radio station in Pittsburgh, receive mention in the mainstream histories of radio. Curiously, New York also looms large in the history of newspapers (as the birthplace of the American penny press and yellow journalism), American advertising (Madison Avenue), and motion pictures (as the base of Thomas Edison and his Trust).
