Re: FIOS not good ISP for gaming in North East, bad routing to canada and west coast.

Back to the same original route.   and getting 100 ping during the day and 20-25 ping at wee hours late night or early morning...

So frustrating I don't understand it.   I guess Verizon fios can't handle the amount of customers they have running netflix?

Or is it the fact they are trying to sell the higher 50mb package, which I see the commercials for>  And the commercials also state "for better gaming"  which makes me wonder.

This seems like what this debate between Verizon and FCC in front of the supreme court has been about.   Feeling very related.  Are they purposel slowing my connection down to give preference to the customers who pay for the highest package?

The commerical says for better gaming, but I guess what most people don't know,  is it is no so much bandwidth or download/upload speed that matters.   Its your latency when it comes to gaming.

Am I now a victim of what the FCC is warning us all about?

What **bleep** me off the most, is that friends with time warner have steady 25 ping always, 24 hours a day.   Even guys who live with the cows in upstate NY with comcast satellite are getting 25 ping  at all times of day.  This is embarrassing.

Its Embarrassing because people have this perception that FIOS is always faster, and I'm the guy in NY with the slowest connection to the game in toronto!....Well I guess we know the truth now,  Fios is no better then any other network,  in fact it might be worse,  and I bet the more people who subscribe,  the worse its gonna get.
