avg?

as in avg among everyone?
as in avg between peak and non peak hours?

I mean average means a lot need context.

Clean your fiber connectors.

Any dust on the connector can fuck your transmissions up. Get some alcohol wipes.

Generally, if everything is working properly (hardware and software), Verizon FIOS speeds clock in at a bit more than they quote.

Let's say you pay for 100/100, you should expect speed tests to give about 115/130, etc., etc.

This is assuming a wired connection.
