It's a very good tool for making sure there aren't problems within the Verizon network. The Verizon speed test is entirely within their network, so it's not subject to random congestion. Like you said, perform several tests to get a good idea of what's going on. You can experiment with this by picking different test server sites (for the tests that let you pick a server.) Even if you use the same test server location, speeds can and do vary from test to test due to congestion. That's why most decent speed tests try to find a test site near the DUT, it minimizes the chance of a congested link. Since these servers are on the public internet, neither the test provider or the DUT's ISP can do anything about this congestion. A big reason for this is the path data takes between the device-under-test (DUT) and the test server can have congestion. You are absolutely correct that different speed test sites can give varying results. I think you'll find that regardless of speed test results, Fios provides a great internet experience. Welcome to Fios! It's is an excellent service with high reliability, consistent speeds and symmetric upload. Welcome to the forums! We're mostly other users here and we like to help each other out. If i have any more experiences to share or any suggestions to help out a fellow customer, I'll continue to post them to the forums! So far I am satisfied with Verizon Fios Gigabit speed internet - I am a new customer. If it continues, then restart your Fios router and extender(s), if you have extenders, and then test again, and I'm sure it will solve 99% of issues reported on these forums! Please try this before calling or chatting with Verizon as there's no need to use any more of your time to try to fix an issue that can be fixed by following the above strategy!Īlso, I do find the Fios speed test site to be the most reliable and I like the fact that Fios speed test not only analyzes your client (iPhone, Laptop/computer, other device), but also it tests the connection speed between the ONT installed at your residence/dwelling to their Fios network! If you are trying various speed tests, and not obtaining even close to the speed you are paying for, then I'd say, use at lease 5-6 different speed sites or apps, and change the servers several times in those sites or apps. I was not a believer at first, but now I am, as I've seen it with my own eyes!! For example, just minutes ago, I used Ookla, and had absolute horrible results, even as I changed servers a couple of times, but when I used Google speed test, it gave me expected speed results according to my Gigabit Fios speeds! Plus, I can tell you for a fact that other speed test sites can vary quite a lot. One should restart them Fios routers/extenders either by restarting via the app (if allowed), or by simply unplugging them, waiting a minute, and then plugging them back in - it has worked in my experience with Fios, even as I'm a new customer!

I find that you have to be cautious of using other speed testing sites or apps, because depending on the server that the site or app chooses, this can turn out to make a huge impact in the speed test results.Īlso, if you believe you're not obtaining the full upload or download speed, then unplugging your router, waiting a minute, then plugging it back in typically works to increase performance back to normal. others, such as Ookla, Google speed test, Speakeasy speed test, or even using xfinity speed tests. I have to say, I was a bit perplexed with the differences, sometimes quite large, between the official Fios speed test site vs.
