Johnathan,

It sounds like you are getting your speeds if you mean 6-7 megaBYTES! I think the confusion here lies in bits vs bytes. Speed packages are often advertised as megabits. There's 8 megabits in 1 megabyte so a quick way to understand "real world" speed is to divide your connection speed by 8. In this case 50 divided by 8 is 6.25. If you're seeing 6-7MB, you're right where you should be!

You can verify this anytime by running a test at speedtest.verizon.com. If you see any issues, you can reach out to Verizon at http://www.facebook.com/VerizonFiOS.
