So I've noticed some slow download speeds the last few days while loading movie trailers and such... so I just ran a speed test. My current plan is 15MB down / 2MB up.
This is horrible... not even close. What the heck is going on? Anyone else in the area having similar issues?

Normally if I am ever having an issue with slow speeds and power cycling the router doesn't help (and I know for a fact that I haven't installed or changed any settings on my computers) I usually log into safemode with networking and rerun a speedtest. Depending on how the speed checks out in safemode depends on what I do. If the speed is fine, then I know something is slowing my internet speeds down when I log into my computer normally.
Have you tried running that test in safe mode? Also, is the computer hardwired or wireless?

Don't just use one speed test site. Use multiple ones to be sure. Try msiad.visualware.com/myspeed/. Also try speakeasy.net. If the speeds are similar then it sounds like it's a hardware issue or settings.

Thanks Mnvic... I use to use speakeasy all the time and totally forgot about that one. I've tested it using both services and I'm getting the same thing... decreased download speeds... consistent upload. Just tested all 3 within 1 min and all three came back with D/L speeds in the 8-9MB range... which is about 5-6MB below my service.
Just for the record, I have consistently tested my speeds regularly for the last few years and I've never (ever) seen anything off regarding my FIOS speeds. They have always consistently shown 15MB down... always.
