Trouble in FiOS Paradise tonight. December 30, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentUPDATE:
FiOS service is back to normal around 1:00 AM.
I’m having such a hard time accessing the Series of Tubes tonight. I have been enjoying Verizon FiOS service for a few years now. I was working on a MacBook Pro and was going to download Mac OS X 10.6.5 Combo Update. I then noticed that the download speed was so horrible so I checked if the problem was with Apple’s server or my Internet service. After numbers of tests, it was apparent that the FiOS service was having issues. I tested the Internet speed using SpeedTest.net and found out the download speed was significantly lower than usual. It was down to 1.5 Mb/s in a few tests. At one point the result from SpeedTest.net was really amusing.
6.66 Mb/s
I must be easily amused.
Verizon FiOS AUP Prohibits Off-Topic Post. December 1, 2009
Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Media, News, Rants, Resources, Security, Tech , add a commentAccording to new Verizon FiOS Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP), posting off-topic information on message board is a a violation.
Seriously, Verizon?
Thanks to SlashDot for the info.
I don’t think Verizon should be able to dictate what users can post. Verizon is violating user’s rith to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Verizon, does Free Speech mean anyting to you?
One of Many Reasons to Get FiOS March 27, 2008
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Applications, Apps, iPhone, Leopard, Mac OS X, Media, News, Resources, Reviews, Tech , add a commentI’m fortunate enough to find out that FiOS was available in my area. I ordered it and had it installed sometimes in 2007. Currently I have the 15Mbps up and 2Mbps down. I’m want to upgrade to the 15/15 service.
This is one of many reasons to get FiOS, and it actually peaked at 1.8MB/s:
