I recently switched from Optimum to Verizon FIOS and expected the download speed to be much faster but it's about the same, ... using something other than the Verizon FIOS speed test.
I paid for one Gig from both Optimum and Verizon FIOS.
I used my Asus router for both Optimum and Verizon FIOS.
I disabled ad blocker and refreshed both before running the tests.
