I am running Windows XP on a 3-year old Dell. Specs are still pretty strong - 1 Gig RAM, fast processor, etc. I can't get FIOS to download any faster than 6MB (should be in excess of 20). Upload is fine (am getting 5MB pretty consistently).
Went through the optimizer at speedguide and on Verizon's site. Nothing seems to make the download any faster. I had a tech here today and he got over 20MB on his pc hooked to my pc's cat5 line. Obviously something on my computer. Any ideas?
