Below are the speedtest results when using the speed test at http://www.speedtest.verizon.net/. I recently upgraded from the middle tier speed at home from 25/15 to 35/35. I was concerned that I was not seeing a good test when using the http://www.speedtest.net/ website but the Verizon agent educated me that using the Verizon speedtest link the test is using fiber instead of the older analog link, servers, etc. This makes perfect sense to me but who would have thought about it, I didn't. So, here is the new test and I'm happy to see my speed is right up to what I'm paying for. It was just that I was having a lot of lag sending and receiving email on AOL this morning and I wanted to find out what the problem was. I can only believe that AOL is intentionally setting up some kind of lag time in the mail server in order to give more time for the user's eyes to land on the ads. I'm thinking again of changing my email service. Might as well use Verizon's, hell, they give me an email address with my subscription. Here's the test results.

I'm using that Actiontec router also. Seems to work fine. I only have to on occasion do a power reset on it when I think it's starting to lag and most times it improves the speed and the wireless connection to the laptop.
