Fios for the most part has worked well for me until lately....I have a BIG issue with the proported speed that I'm supposed to be getting 20 down and 5 up. If that is the case, please tell me why it has taken me WELL OVER 24 HRS to perform a 10 gig back up/data transfer? At that rate, I can't imagine how long it would take to try to backup my whole hard drive.

Are you backing up indavidual fios, or a backed up file like a .gho, or a ISO?It takes longer to upload 5000 file, then one file at the same size.
Let me break down the speeds for you. When it comes to speeds they are in bits, and not bytes. This is the way every ISP is. So with that this is how it works out.
10 gigabytes = 80gigbits
20megabits/5megabits = 2.5megabytes/625kilobytes
I would sugest useing filezilla FTP program, and have it set to 3 or 4 maximum simultaneous transfers. If you use windows explorere it onlydoes the files one at a time.

"1 file at 500mb will upload faster then 500 files at 1mb. "
I understand that...but I'm DOWNLOADING NOT UPLOADING...and I'm supposed to be getting 20 down...
A friend of mine in another location using Fios did a file transfer of about the same size. I was there....we had dinner, played a few vids, watched some tube...viola...it was done....nowhere NEAR 24 hrs...

Downloading works the same as uploading, if you are downloading a lot of small files its going to take forever. such as my site I am running now. Its about 15mb+ give or take. But if I have my FTP set to 1 at a time. It will take a good 30 min or more. Your best bet is to use a FTP client and up the Max transfers. But downloading should be faster then uploading.
And there is no way someone can transfer 10gb (individual files) over FTP in a short time.When I download a OS from Microsoft it takes about a hour at Max speeds for a single, 4gig file.
