How can I get better speed out of an ftp transfer that would give some good band width speeds? My friend and I both have 20/5 service and I used cerebus ftp for the server and he used simple dos ftp commands to perform the transfer.
also make sure you're doing this on a wired connection to the router, and if you have windows 7 you may need a hot fix, they had an issue with their TCP/IP stack recently. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939006
Wow, it seems the parental controls on the router was contributing to the discrepancy. I turned it off and the Speakeay-type sites now show about 35 down and 10 up. The Argonne link above gives 32 down, 34 up. The good-ol Verizon site holds steady at 35.1.
Thanks everyone.
Pretty amazing the parental controls basically halves your download internet speed. This is a feature that is probably implemented in software thus the reason its so slow. I used to have a very high end corporate router that supported web filtering in hardware and kept the wirespeed routing of 20/5.
Glad it worked out.

I am paying for 20/5 and not once have I gotten a test speed anywhere near that I am at the point where I am just going to drop the 20/5 an go with the standard speed.
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with this I had such high hopes when I made the switch that I would have this amazingly fast internet and it's no better than my lousy concast was.
I get a very consistent 5/5 that's about it and that's on the Verizon site or speediest or dslreports speedtest and for whatever reason I haven't bothered to even call I guess years of getting canned answers from my former provider has me to the point that I just accept what I get.
It certainly isn't a wired or wireless issue for me I get the same crap no matter what connection I am using.
Oh well anyone ever had a problem like mine get resolved?
Have you run the FIOS optimizers (Mac or PC) and disabled any parental controls on your router? That's where I's start.
JasonD52, did you read all of the comments? Parental Controls was disabled and fixed the problem.

parental controls in the 192.168.1.1 or in your verizon internet security center?
