Verizon DSL woes?

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

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....

My roommate's Verizon phone service was out for about a week here -- I'm not surprised to hear their DSL is also having trouble.

Went down a month ago. No dial tone. Yet, my DSL was just fine. How is that possible?

It was fixed within 48 hours. Guy came with a truck and worked outside for an hour or so.

And you noticed no change in your DSL performance, either before or after the guy fixed the phone line? That does seem odd, but what do I know.

I don't think so. Try this http://www.dslspeedcheck.org/ and report. Just curious to know. There are other applications that help you check DSL speed...
