I have a strange problem that I could use some help with. I have Verizon 15/2 fios and have been running speed tests this past week since I noticed a considerable slowdown.

So the network card in desktop #1 is fine and this is either a router or a Windows thing. I contact Verizon and they agree to replace my actiontec router. I get the new router and the same problems still exist. They direct me to a different speed test site "myspeed.visualware" and it shows the full 15/2, so they say my line is fine and they can't help anymore. I download a lot of usenet stuff and I used to get my full 15 meg download, but now I'm only getting 2.5 meg. I'm also seeing the same slow speeds on speedtest.net and speakeasy.net. All of my Windows based ...
