Have you tried downloading a file from the FTP software with all your
security software disabled (anti-virus, firewall, HIPS, whatever)?

Tried this yet?

Besides what the Verizon tech measured, what do you get when you visit
speedtest.net and see not only what is Verizon's speeds for you on their
network but also what speeds you get when connecting outside their
network?

Speedtest results are exactly the same as those displayed when
sending/receiving flies via FTP. And, yes, I have sent to various
different companies' servers and all results are the same. Download
speeds are 10 times slower than upload with all, including speedtest.
still having to rewrap physical lines to under 76 chars/line

Then, no matter what the Verizon tech said, your have a problem with
download speeds (downstream bandwidth). If the tech only measured the
upstream and downstream speeds from their service to the DSL modem then
nothing of your intranet got tested.

Are you using a wired connection from your host to your router? If so,
have you tried using a CAT5 cable from the Ethernet port on your
computer that is connected to an Ethernet port on your router? Have you
tried bypassing your entire intranet and run your computer using a CAT5
cable directly to the DSL modem? Get rid of everything else and see
what happens when your computer connects directly to the cable modem.
