Facebook/FIOS SLOW

Yes. There is definitely a problem. I've been on that DSLR thread since it started happening.

My findings are identical to yours. I found it works great late at night. But during the peak hours (after 4PM) it sucks a dick.

I really can't test it much during the day because I am often out at work, and when I am home the last thing I need is my boss to see me on Facebook. Note to self: don't friend anyone on Facebook who could end up becoming your boss.

 

I tweeted about this yesterday. Is it only effecting FIOS customers?

 

It appears to be affecting Verizon DSL customers as well.

 

It appears to be an issue with Verizon resolving 69.XXX.XXX.XXX IP's.

Some have modified their hosts file:

I am home for lunch and just added it, seems to be working fine. The real test will be after 5PM today when I am off work.

 

It is fine on Cable here on Long Island. I have a friend in Jersey who has complained for two days how bad Facebook's website is, but not sure if she is on FIOS.

 

Last night it was slow as fuck for me....but I was on my old Verizon air card at work. Still...it was never that slow, and no other site was dragging ass like FB was. Was around 11pm or so.

 

Im Trying to log on face book now on Fios and it Stucks balls it just spins and spins

 

Fios in boston...No issues here...other than maybe a tad slow...But there are times when it seems shitty...I always thought it was facebook...I'll see if i can jam it up
