Hello! How do i make my internet faster? Im hoping to switch from the dsl i have now to fios but honestly. You can't even pick up a minecraft server or get on steam its so bad. I don't think it's my modem its a A70-750015 verizon modem. I have a good custom gaming rig. When i try to launch steam it says: Steam is having trouble connecting to steam servers. All my minecraft servers say that they cant resolve host name. Can anyone help me out with this?

Is it 'broken', or just slow, or just random disconnects?
Not sure what you're asking here. More info needed.

To test your overall speed, go here: www.speedtest.net
Almost certainly that 48Mbps is just to the router, not to the outside world. Verizon DSL does not go that high.

As far as FiOS, you'll have to check with Verizon. Coverage is very spotty. Sometimes your side of the street doesn't, and the other side does. Lucky me, I have it.

Thanks but is there a way to get this working again? I have to use my neighbors router to play games and go on steam.
