Is Verizon FiOS still amazing like it used to be? I remember when it first came out people were almost pinging LAN pings to VA when they lived in VA and getting incredible pings everywhere else.

i have the 15mb package..

have had constant 10 - 60+ choke in every server..
have had this problem for almost a year..

if anything get at&t yahoo dsl..

fios runs on a neighborhood line so many people are using it at once, with at&t, you have your own line so the only disturbance you get is from youself.. (a friend from lvl3 communications told me this)

brother has it, its damn good

as for fios, screw that crap. (for gaming anyways)

fios does not run on a neighborhood line ; your connection is not shared

and yes it owns

#6, i was told the line is shared with the neighborhood numerous times by several verizon reps.. i'm not sure, maybe all of about 25 times ive called to get it fixed.

so maybe they're just retarded?

i can't even get them to come out to boost my connection..
that's what fixed my problem last time..

they just stare at whatever they are looking at online and check my connection from their, but whatever that is they are using is an epic fail.

i just remember back in the day when it was PWNAGE people getting nasty pings. i thought it may have gotten worse due to the fact that more people got it.

I have it and got it about 4 months ago..I love it.

I have the 20 Mb upload and Download package...and the modem i was given automatically puts out wireless so i can use wifi on my laptop right out the gate..

i'm in PA and when i ping to an ATL server, i ping better than people in Miami.

its the best internet i've ever had...

I had Comcast and Optimum Online before this, and this rapes by far

O and i have the TV, its great as well...can't wait to get my HDTV hooked up soon.

whoever's gettin choke, get on verizon.net/optimizer

it'll probably fix ur problems....if not something might be up with ur network card.

and whoever told u that u share a line with ur neighborhood is lying, u get a line straight to their office.

Yea ive had mine for close to a year and its simply amazing. Great speeds and im on wireless. I have the whole package, Phone, Internet and TV. Their TV service is sweet.

And to the guy who said you share the network, you don't. Everyone has their own line with their own bandwidth.

no, thats the point of having fios OVER cable, fios is your OWN line, not shared by others, while cable is usually neighborhood shared, the more ppl on it, the laggier it gets.

i live in northern NJ, i ping 0-7 in NY servers, 15-20 in VA, 20ish CHI, 30ish georgia, 45ish in texas, 70+ish in cali.

its nice, BUT it DOESNT mean every shot registers still, i honestly think i reg better in CHI/VA then in NY lol

i still don't understand how i'm getting high choke..

any idea on how this can be fixed? besides switching isp of course

should i call them and see if they changed my routing around the time i started getting choke?

i'm at a loss, it was perfect for many months, but has been crap for the past 1.5 years.

probably just have a bad line germ. ask them to do a line quality test or you can do one on dslreports.com to see if your line is bad.

theres also that "optimizer" link someone posted but I don't have fios (COME TO NORCAL U BAST@RDS) so I can't tell ya if it works.

I had line problems on my cable and they fixed it after I called them up and asked them about it.
