Call and complain. I bet if you do the speed test to their servers you will get full speed. They have their ups and downs. You will go 6 months without issues, and out of no where bam you get hit.

Oh that's great.... one of the only ways I can get internet right now, they're coming out on Saturday. We can get it through direct tv but they said to use them as a last resort because its actually as fast as dial up.

I don't think I've ever seen my internet up to it's full potential. Most I've gotten is 5 mbps and it usually averages 3 mbps.

We just switched over to Metrocast. I've had a few problems, but they have resolved themselves within minutes. Much better than Verizon so far.
