Verizon DSL woes?

Does anyone else here have Verizon DSL, and have you noticed it being unbelievably, painfully slow for the past several days? I'm talking, like, click a link and walk away for ten minutes slow. I can hardly get anything to load. Gmail keeps timing out. I've run some diagnostics from dslreports.com and gotten some very odd results.

I was thinking it was just me (I did call Verizon support and the guy tried to lay the blame on my antivirus software *roll eyes*) but I just heard from a friend in the area that she's having issues as well, so I thought I'd ask....

Besides, given the difference in price per megabit, even on a bad day when things are not running even close to the advertised speeds, it's still faster than the advertised speed of the DSL line available for the same price.
