verizon USB phone Modem

Feb 7, 2009 7:25AM PST

I'm not really sure where this topic should be, so if it's in the wrong spot, move it.

I'm using my LG Voyager as a Modem with Verizon. When I first started it, I was getting 80-100 KB/s download speeds. I thought this was a bit slow, but it was good enough. Lately, I can't get over 5 KB/s. I never changed any settings, and it just started getting slower and slower until it got down to about 5 KB/s

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't suppose the service gets slowed down...

after the trial period is over, hehe? Anyway, I find DSL trouble are hard to track down, Personally I think most of these are due to ISP problem (of course they won't admit it though).

Are you having this problem all the time or is it some of the time and happen randomly?

It's really consistent. I'm usually on it the same hours of the day, and thought it was because I was on during peak hours, but today, I was on a lot earlier, and it was worse. It's always happening now, and it's been for about a week now.

call them up, and tell them you want to add the service to your plan to make your phone a modem. its $60 a month, and it has a 5 Gig cap. Then you download the program for it and just start it up. it's pretty easy.
