Speedtest likely going off Verizon's network; it depends on the server

it selects to run the test. However, if anything, the incentive is to give these sorts of tests all available resources because it's a nice little number that is the only objective measure of network performance the majority of consumers will ever see. So if you are going to discriminate traffic, you'd certainly prioritize this traffic.

Any FiOS customers noticed a speed difference since net neutrality vote? -- MP4VT2004 03/21/2018 9:18PM

How many tests? Different times of day, multiple days? -- HWA 03/22/2018 10:12AM

The net neutrality vote would have zero impact on your speed test -- Hokie1992 03/22/2018 05:55AM

Looks like I have a router/WiFi coverage issue. -- MP4VT2004 03/21/2018 11:23PM

Yep, wifi sux. I had to buy a Roku Ultra for my TV for the ethernet -- Baltimore Hokie 03/22/2018 10:58AM

Yeah...I ran a hard line under the house to our family room for our Roku 3. -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 11:11AM

Do you live in a crowded WiFi area? If so, use an analyzer & find a channel -- HokieinTampa 03/22/2018 07:08AM

If you're truly in a crowded WiFi area, won't make much of a difference. -- HWA 03/22/2018 10:04AM

Or you can add APs so that your SSID is speaking the most (not the loudest) -- HokieinTampa 03/22/2018 11:04AM

True, but don't need the Analyzer to tell you 5GHz is best option. -- HWA 03/22/2018 12:15PM

Try being responsible for a WiFi infrastructure in high rises -- HokieinTampa 03/22/2018 12:34PM

Very good idea - I should have thought to check this out. -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 08:14AM

Seen this. Son has xBox in another room -- Hokie1992 03/22/2018 05:57AM

Good suggestion...I don't think this is my issue though, as... -- MP4VT2004 03/22/2018 08:10AM
