I have been paying for Verizon's DSL 3.0 mbps plan. Now i am not sure if this is normal with dsl but I am only getting at best half of that speed, 1.5 mbps. Now I called Verizon and the guy said that my speed going up was at 3mbps but on the way down was 1.5mbps or something like that. I am still learning when it comes to this so someone explain to me what this means. Is there a special test i am supposed to do to get these figures or what.
The speed you get from an ISP depends on your distance from the exchange. Ask them to tell you how far you are from the telephone exchange. That's usually why you get a lower speed than you are quoted.
