I'm new customer of FIOS - just over two weeks. My service is 35/35. The only time I could get speed I've paid for is when I connected to the router (MI424WR rev. F) directly. For the BANDWIDTH test I've used verizon.com/checkyourspeed site.

If you're getting 35/35 connected directly to the router, then your FIOS service is working correctly and your issues are purely wireless.
When you have a mixed G & N network, the wireless will operate at the lowest compatible speed.
Also, the N radio in the rev. F Actiontec is draft 802.11n and does not support 5Ghz band, 40Mhz channels or mimo.
In order to get wireless speeds to fully utilize your 35/35 connection, you should move to all N devices and a fully 802.11n compliant access point.

When it comes to wireless. 13-15 down is actually quite good. Most average between 6-10 down.
Now the reason you saw the speed increase when you turned everything off is that the Verizon router is not a dual band router. So if you have any devices in the house that are B/G it will bring the entire network down to the G level. Once you only had N systems running then the system ran back up the N level. That 22 you got will likely be as fast as you will get. You will only get the 35 on wired connections
One additional thing. Verizon does not guarentee wireless AT ALL. Your contract calls for 35 WIRED. If you read the fine print Verizon says they will give a wireless connection for only 10 feet but that is connection only, they will not guarentee any speeds what so ever on wireless.

So, if I change my contract to 25/25 or 20/5 I will still get the same wireless bandwidth download speed, or it will go down as well?

Wireless speeds have alwyas at times has issues,this is why i went with the 25/25 package,now if i had the 100/100 package i would really cause a stink if speeds dropped a whole lot.
