Exclamation Check your connection speed!

All of you guys need to go to this url and check your connection speed to make sure Verizon is not cheating you on speed. I recently caught them cheating a friend of mine who was promised 3 mbps download speed and he was at 1.5 mbps. When he signed up for the bundle package including directv, internet and phone service he was told by Verizon that they would give him a reduced price on internet service. We called tech support, informed them his connection speed was wrong they stated that their computers showed he was supposed to be at 1.5mbps. Verizon does not even offer this speed take a look at their site and see for yourself. They stated they couldn't do anything about it because their billing office was closed. The next morning when he called back they told him the computer showed 3 mbps download and never was incorrect. Verizon knew they had just been caught. If I hadn't known to check his speed he never would have known about it. It wouldn't surprise me if they are doing this too hundreds of customers maybe thousands who don't know any better. How easy would it be for them to say they made a mistake and correct it to avoid looking suspicious? This is a good website to check your speed www.speakeasy.net/speedtest. I hope none of you are being swindled.
