Slow upload speed

Enthusiast - Level 3
I currently have 20 up and 20 down service.  While I consistantly test and receive 20 down, now I only get about between 8 and 10 upload speeds.  I have reset the router but upload speed to still slow.  I used to get 20 down all the time.  Is my router or VZ limiting my upload speed now?  I also optimized my computer settings using the verizon tool.

It could be just the website.   Try a bunch of different servers -    I found a lot of those speed test servers can't handle massive uploads 24/7.

I use speedtest.net a lot and from where I am in california, SD server gives good upload results, but LA gives crap results.

give that a shot and post multiple results and what servers you are using from what site.

to answer your question, verizon doesn't impose bandwidth caps so if you're a 20/20 cust you should get very close to that depending on network load.

industry standard is "at least 75%" of your limits.  

Are you using Vista (32 bit or 64?), or XP?

or Are  you using a MAC?
