I have FIOS Internet, and cant watch any streaming videos smoothly. I have NHL Gamecenter subscription, and I cant watch 5 minutes of a game on the lowest setting without it breaking up and stopping to buffer. I have tried to "optimize" my settings, and i have tried to watch the videos on all 3 of my PC's including my desktop, which uses a wired internet connection.... Any suggestions? The speed tests I have run will show anywhere from 5 MBPS DL to 14 MBPS DL....
Thanks
David

Have you tried to reboot your verizon router? What kind of Anti-virus software are you running and are they common among all the computers?

make sure you're wired speeds are normal before you continue. So how fast should it be?
Do a couple things first for us.
Get on the wired machine (if it's windows 7 don't start IE like normal, do a right click instead, and run it as administrator.)
Re-run the Verizon Optimizer (in rare cases you'll have to reboot the PC for the change to take affect, or at the very least shut down IE and then Re-open)
and then test at http://speedtest.verizon.net and let us know what you get.
If we can get your wired connection running as fast as it should consistently then we can get the wireless fixed next,.

Ok sorry for the delay, I've been sick, and work a crazy night time schedule lately.
I can't even get the broadband test to run... I have tried running IE and Firefox as administrator, navigate to the test page, and once i click to initiate the test, it just doesn't start. (

is it choppy regardless if it's wired or wireless.
did you let the in home agent optimize your connection? you should optimize if it did not do that.

Yes, I did optimize the connection using the Home Agent.
And, yes, it is choppy even when wired. I suppose it is my laptop, becausethis weekend I did attempt to stream someNHL games on my desktop which is wireless, and it ran fine. Maybe my laptop doesnt have the video rendering power and memory necessary to stream large movies and broadcasts...?

that's a possibility yes, I have a 7 or 8 year old dell laptop and it can't do any heavy video rendering, but i have some newer pc's that do it just fine too. maybe more ram would help if it's older like mine was. I put 2 gb ram in it and the video is tolerable now - plays sd just fine but if I try to do HD it will be very choppy.
