definitely explains why we cant stream netflix, redbox or any other movies to watch in the evenings. if we get them to start, then they begin to hang up and stall too much to even watch anything. 

I never had this kind of issue with COMCAST.  Fios is purported to be the next best thing. As far as I'm concerned, I cant wait to get rid of it!

What section of New York are you located in? There have been many on DSLREPORTS reporting similar issues, and it's a good idea to make sure we add to that tally.

I’m in Queens N.Y. area, The way I see it Verizon Fios has OVER PROVISIONED, OVER SOLD their own network and switches are overloaded with bandwidth that can't handle. So they throttle down everyone’s speed, on the local Central office hub. As the hour of the day 7PM the speed is being gradually being slowed down to about 7Mbps for me.

As the hour approaches I have been running tests between a few servers transferring large files for a few hours, my results were: as the hour approaches the speed gradually decreases until it’s caped at 7Mbps. but the upload speeds are unaffected. It’s like Fios provisioned download speed is exhausted. PC directly connected with a CAT6 1Gigabit LAN cable to ONT. So the bottle neck is the central office

TEST SPEED between 7pm-11pm

02/16/2015 Speed Test, 2 weeks after reporting the issue no resolution, or explanation,

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4148539799

02/06/2014 Speed test, 1 week after I reported this issue to Verizon

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4123106857

TEST SPEED between 7pm-11pm

Speed Test early during the day 02/17/2015 11AM

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4149878043

I see it as the fiber has to allocate bandwidth for the TV, INTERNET and not to mention if you watching VIDEO ON DEMAND all use bandwidth.

VERIZON TIME TO UPGRADE YOU INFOSTRUCTURE

[CRobGauth]

Run your test to this server: http://my.verizon.com/services/speedtest/

That tests internally to the verizon network (and the only thing they can control).

If your tests is always up to par (and mine always have) then it is not a Verizon network issue.
Could be the transient networks or the pairing point.

[AnDyTnT]

I have run both tests on

http://www.speedtest.net/       

http://my.verizon.com/services/speedtest/

tests are very similar within less than 5Mbps difference on Download speeds only (Upload Speed Unafected)

hmm... I dont think the transient networks or the pairing point is the problem. If that was the case this would not be happening like Clockwork around 7pm-11pm same time of the day other times unaffected.

[AnDyTnT]

its only 4:45PM another 2 hours or so and I will log more results of the daily evening slowdowns

[AnDyTnT]

Well its past 7pm here are the results a little better than yesterday

Test on NY servers

[eljefe2]

FWIW, I'm on the north shore of Long Island and I never see the slow downs other report.  And also, FWIW, I get the most consistent results with the Optimum Online speedtest.net server in NYC.  Ping is often a few seconds faster to the Secaucus, NJ, server,  but speeds are more consistent with OOL.

Here's a result from a test just now during evening prime time:

I'm on the 75/75 plan.
