I recently switched to Verizon FiOS and am experiencing some issues with my internet. I tested my connection speed at dslreports and received the report stating that I had 25mbps for both upload and download speeds. Despite this, websites like Facebook and YouTube have issues loading. The only way I can describe the issue is that the websites will either not load at all or load very fast.

For example, if I attempt to go to Facebook, it will hang at `Connected to www.facebook.com...` and never load. I'll have to attempt the page request again before it will actually do anything.

Similarly with YouTube, some videos will load extremely slowly at 360p while others will load extremely fast at 1080p.

Possibly related, I experience large amounts of lag in video games, despite having relatively low ping.

This problem persists across my entire network, affecting any other computers connected via the FiOS router. It was never a problem I experienced with Charter cable, before switching to FiOS a couple weeks ago. With Charter, I had slower download/upload speeds (25/2), yet it seemed more reliable.

Some background info:

* Computer: Alienware M17x
* OS: Windows 7 64bit
* DNS: OpenDNS
