It's Verizon network

[Jackson889]

This has been bother me the last couple of days but i don't know how to solve it.

 

I'm using Asus z77 wifi go. I connect to the router.and it's fine. I can surf the web and mostly everything. However, when i use orgin,steam or teamspeak, it doesn't detech any network. I test it again with Linksys AE2500 and it does the same things as well. I called up Verizon and they said my internet is fine (which is a lie and i don't trust them). They also just changed my router since i told them i don't have any signal the last couple of days. And now this  What can i do now ?

 

With steam, i can either re-try connect or use it in the offline mode. 

With orgin, it won't let me log in since there's an internet issue

With teamspeak, it failed to connect to the server.

 

Anyone can help me ? THIS is the 'real" struggles

Call CS and threaten to drop them as theyre breaching contract by not providing internet. 

 

Tell them to fix it in the next few days or you're gone. 

 

They "should" bend over backwards to fix it. 

[Jackson889]

I called them already.. It won't help

[Wulfgar]

Drop em.

Verizon is a terrible company, drop them.

 

I've had bad experiences in the past and they are notorious for screwing you over on the billing.

That does sound a bit fishy.

[Jackson889]

That's the only internet that i can get. I can drop them but i can get direct tv internet(Which is the same thing since they team up)

 

If i drop them, .... oh ?

What happens if you open command prompt and type "ping 69.53.236.17" which is netflixes IP. And is it just one computer or everything in your house?

[Jackson889]

The ping is just fine for the netflix

 

I got an update: So i only can't access my steam and all kinda of that fun stuff from 5-8 (Which verizon called it rush time, when people use a lot of data).... I just ... faceplam with this

 

What do you guy thinks ?

I doubt there is anything you can do except switch ISP's. Yesterday I was unable to watch youtube videos above 480p during the evening with Brighthouse Networks down in Florida with 30Mb down. I believe this is what's causing it: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/why-youtube-buffers-the-secret-deals-that-make-and-break-online-video/

 

Edit: This also happened to me in New Hampshire with comcast on the other side of the country to an extent (though not as much) so I assumed it had to be Youtube's fault but after reading that arstechnica article, I have no doubt that this is a widespread problem with the ISP's.

Well, i guess there is nothing that i can do about this to fix the problem here. and I hate Verizon
