Since Sep 2012 Verizon has had an ongoing email service issue. The problem is speed or speed processing of inbound emails or pop.verizon.net port 995 SSL. Out going is working okay as it uploads about 24 mbps. The inbound only streams in about 1.9 mbps and it appear this is a set limit speed.
Since Labor Day weekend 2012, which was when Vz had a complete network outage throughout the USA including email and internet, the email network has never been the same. Hundreds of calls since 2012 and Vz still has not made the email sytem work fast enough to be compatible with their fast DSL and Fios connections.
All of you who use a cell phone to obtain email to a Verizon.net email account and those with desktops which use outlook or similar (client) software are affected 100% by this issue.
Just send yourself a single file of around 16 MB and watch is leave your device then, watch how long it takes to come back (manually select send/receive or sync).
I use a 30 day free software called DUmeter and it shows we are not getting the email bandwidth we should be. I have a 50/35 Fios connection which blazes 58 mbps down and 38 mbps up when using a browser on www.speedtest.net. That all changes when using the above software and sending then receiving a larger email. Are we being cheated out of our subscription? When using all the above on a Gmail account, my email leaves and comes in at the lines speeds or 50 mbps inbound and 35 mbps outbound.
Anyone else have this issue? If so, Vz needs all of you to make a call to get them off their duff and onto correcting this. We're being cheated out of the bandwidth we are paying for and especially with Fiber (Fios) since there is not loss like on copper line. Todate, Vz says all is running 100% however, that information is being relayed by a group of people down to the actual tech support people Vz customers have to speak to. The actual level 2 and level 3 guru's in the email division are shielded from the customer so it just makes sense, they don't field the calls so, they just say, no complainers so it must be working okay.
