Hello everyone, my name is Sherri.  I became a Fios Internet 50/25 subscriber 4 days ago.  For the first 24 hours speedtest.verizon.net was giving me as much as a 60/30 speed results.  The next morning I noticed web pages taking abnormally long to load (even google.com), so I decided to check my speed again and am now getting as low as 1MB/s download wired or wirelessly.  My upload remains unaffected but browsing can get so slow it's almost unusable.  Any large downloads I try end up failing (i.e. cyanogenmod nightlies).  This has been going on for the past 3 days on all of my devices (android, PC, Macbook).

How can I check if this is a fixable problem on my end or if it's a problem with Fios in my area that I just need to wait out?  I called tech support and they just want to send me a new router, but if it was the router wouldn't my upload be affected as well?

Any help would be appreciated!  Aside from the internet, I'm really happy with Fios TV Smiley Happy.  The customer service rep credited me the internet cost for this month because of my issues and for that I am very thankful!  but... I would still like to get this fixed as soon as possible.

 

Things I've tried:

resetting ONT

Forced firmware upgrade and router reset

Verizon reset my service and gave me a new IP
