Slow internet speed, being used by unknown websites

Hello all,
For about a month i have been experiencing slower internet speeds than usual. Contacted the isp and went through all the processes and there was not a problem at their end. I was advised to go to network utility and check how many processes there were, found out that there was too many to count.
It seems i have internet processes coming from my macbook ip address from uknown sources such as ookla.com etc. Now i have downloaded spyware programs for mac which have failed to find any viruses or spyware at all.
Now i know the problem is coming from my macbook as the unwanted guests our appearing under the macbook ip address, my router is receiving the right speed so it can't be the isp?
Right now i am just wondering what to do to stop these processes using up my internet connection and potentially turning my router into a server.
Any help would be grateful.

Yeah i have little snitch but it appears to not spot these websites, i can send you a screenie of the netstat screen
Then that would imply the only connections going out from your mac are from legitimate applications.
lots of things will engage outbound connections.
safari
firefox
itunes
spotify
and sites that you visit that have embedded video often host the video on other servers. So you would be suprised at how many socket connections you have at anyone time.
If you have little snitch look at the monitor window and it will show all the recent connections.
You could reset little snitch to default rules and then you will be prompted to allow or deny each new connection.

Slow internet speed when using AirPort

Hi
I guess this may have been discussed before, but I could really do with some clear advice on the subject. I own a 2007 Mac Pro with an AirPort wi-fi card fitted by Apple as an option when I bought the machine. However, for some time now, I have experienced problems with my wi-fi connection when on the net.
Firstly, there's the signal. When I switch the computer on first and then access the internet, all four bars on the AirPort icon on my desktop are in black. However, after a while this starts to drop to three or two - sometimes even just one. The connection speed to the net decreases as the bars drop. When all four bars are filled in black, my connection speed is still not very good. My Mac Pro is not really far from my AirPort Extreme - in fact I have tried my old Windows XP based laptop in the same room and it appears to be fine provide better access speeds (even though it's an older machine)!
Secondly, my Mac Pro doesn't seem to like my 8 digit WPA-PSK security key on my modem (accessed through the AirPort Extreme base station). When I disconnect and try to re-connect to my network (as sometimes this helps my connection speed when it's low) the Mac asks me to punch in my key. I do this and it never seems to recognise it. Tried changing the password key through my modem's settings via an ethernet cable, yet still - when asked to type in the key when trying to access wirelessly - it is not recognised.
Can anyone offer any advice?? I have a Netgear modem/router with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station. I purchased my Mac Pro June 2007 from Apple.
Thanks

Slow internet speed - terrible service

For the last 5 weeks I have been plagued with very slow internet speed. I have spent at least 4 hours on the phone with verizon techs. They always say that they will call back and never do. This is absolutely the worst service imaginable.

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up. It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
news.giganews.com
    traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
#3 If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Slow internet speeds and dropping connection

hello, I am making this post on behalf of my dad, for a good few months (5-6 maybe even longer) we have been experiencing slow internet speeds and a dropping connection when ever the phone is picked up. when an incoming call is answered some or all devices connected to the internet drop out for a second then come back online, the connection does not completly disapear but causes any voice chat, streaming or gaming to disconect. We have BT wireless phones (not sure what exact type) which we have had for a few years. they are connected through an ADSL filter which as far i can remember has been there for years. We have a netgear DG834GT router which has also been there for a few years. I went onto its settings and got this information, not sure if its usefull or not.

Slow internet speed -upgraded it to highest speed

I have had FiOS internet for about four years and never questioned the speed 10/2, but I had it plugged into the router. On 3/4, I upgraded to TV FiOS/internet and phone bundle. I do not have my computer where the router is located now (downstairs) and I had asked them to move it upstairs, but left before they had done it. When I checked the speed (I guess the wireless speed since it is not plugged in to the router), it was 15.66/10 mbps. I ordered the 35/35 mbps speed bundle. I called Verizon and asked them about it and she checked the speed and said that it was "pretty good" considering it is wireless. What? I am not getting what I am paying for. Do I need a DSL filter on all the phone lines? Do I need a new router (I still have the old one)? I have read on the community here that everyone has called several times to get an answer to the slow internet speed problem. Does anyone have the 35/35 mbps speed plan and have it work at this speed? I might as well go down to the 15 or 25 plan if that speed is all I am every going to get......But maybe if I go down to 25 plan, I'll get 10 or 15...... I will continue to try and work with Verizon to get this solved. .Thanks for any help.

Slow Internet speed using ethernet cable.

Hi
I have a an old imac, still working and running on 10.5.8 !!
I still use it for music and simple word processing.
I have linked it up to the internet with a ethernet cable and the internet speed is vastly differnet to by ipad / iphone using wifi.
I syspect that its the imac and not the router?
Any idea what has gone wrong and why ethernet connect is not faster than wireless
Thanks

DOH!
It occurs to me --finally-- why you may be seeing this slowness on a wried connection. That latest G4 iMacs retained the 10/100BASE ethernet port Apple used to put on all consumer and educational Macs. The PowerMacs and PowerBook were considered "pro" models and had 10/100/1000BASE ethernet ports--much faster.
You may see improvement by going wireless if your iMac has USB 2.0 ports:
NewerTech MAXPower 802.11n/g/b High-Performance Wireles USB Adapter w/bonus ext cradle. For Mac & PC
It will give wireless "n" speeds if used in a USB 2.0 port--that's the protocol your other devices are probably using.
To see if you have USB 2.0 ports, hold OPTION and, while hlding it, click the Apple menu. In 10.5, the first entry should change to "System Profiler." Launch it.
In the opening screen:
find the code in the second line that I've indicated with the red arrow; for a G4 iMac the line will be "PowerMacx,x"--please post your code and your screen size (15, 17, or 20). From that we can find out if you have USB 2, making the wireless option viable.

Intel Wireless-N 7260 Slow Internet Speed - Solved (Win 8.1 64-bit, Wireless N @ 2.4GHz)

Obviously there are numerous factors that can affect speed. But if you have reason to believe it's just your laptop try the configuration below. Worked for me. Good Luck.
Laptop:
Lenovo Ideapad Y510P, Windows 8.1 64-bit.
Internet Connection:
Comcast Xfinity Blast advertised at 50Mbps.
Network Environment:
Home Wifi, Linksys E1500 Router Wireless N @ 2.4 GHz. Firmware Version: 1.0.06
Apartment Building, ~15 visible other Wifi networks.
Devices with 15 feet of router.
Problem Symptoms:
Download speeds of 2-3 Mbps. Upload speeds were typically much higher, around 10Mbps as should be expected.
Control Reference:
~50Mbps using ethernet cable.
Older Laptop getting ~45Mbps over Wifi.
Solution:
From what I gathered, the problem with the card happens on Wireless N 2.4MHz routers.
Driver version : 17.13.2.2
File : Wireless_17.13.2_De164.zip
Downloaded from : http://goo.gl/S3HOCL (Intel download page. URL was too long to post)
Installation : Unzip to a folder, Run the DPInst64.exe application - does a 'simple' driver install. No Bloatware / fluff.
Device Settings: I'm listing only the values that I changed along the way.
Device Manager > Network Adapters > Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260 > Properties > Advanced.
802.11n Channel Width for 2.4GHz : Auto
Ad Hoc Qos Mode : WMM Disabled
HT Mode : HT Mode (ie ON. You need this for Wireless N. If Disabled you can only connect to Wireless b/g/mixed)
Roaming Aggressiveness : 1. Lowest
Throughput Booster : Enabled (Not sure if this is necessary. It's an optional feature giving priority over other devices)
Transmit Power : 3. Medium
U-APSD Support : Disabled (According to numerous posts, this is critical)
Wireless Router Wireless Settings:
Network Mode : Wireless-N Only
Channel Width : 20 MHz Only. (My only other option is 'Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz). On 'Auto...' every device I have really slows).
Channel : Auto (I had this set to '3' since day one to avoid the channels other Routers in my building are using. Defintely noticed improvement but it seems its not necessary with this configuration. Could be due to other networks not being used at the time of testing. I'm keeping an eye on this).
Bluetooth Network Connection (Personal Area Network):
Disabled
(I have a running bluetooth mouse which is not affected by disabling this)
Result:
Testing duration 6 hours, ~ 10 times.
For the settings. most likely there's some that are not necessary. But after working on this for 3 days, I'm not changing anything for the time being.
Blurb:
I'm posting this to hopefully help others who have this issue. Researching the problem I found numerous lengthy fourm threads filled with frustrated users...one on Intel's support site was 18 pages long with literally months of posts with several users discussing a class action lawsuit...enough said.
I tried pretty much all the posted solutions, lots of different driver versions, device settings, router settings. There's so much misinformation out there it's not funny. Eventually I called Lenovo Tech Support who tried simialr things and momentarily got it a bit better and wanted to say it was fixed. I hung on a kept testing the slow speed soon returned. Then they tried all the usual nonsense and excuses and gave up, passing me off to "Premium Support:" who wanted to charge me to investigate the problem. The "premium" techs were really poor and sounded like a bunch of clueless hacks just trying to get you to pay for the service while simultaneously throwing in gems like "how far is your laptop from the router...that can affect your speed"...anyway, forget that I thought.
When I first got the Lenovo Ideapad Y510P last year I had the same or similar issue. I don't recall how I fixed it then but I got it to ~20-30Mbps. While well below my older laptop's speed it was perfectly adequate. That was last August. Earlier this year there was an update for Intels stuff in a Windows update. I think the problem started again with that although I'm not 100% sure. Certainly I didn't manually install new drivers or change anything on my network set-up.

Intel Wireless-N 7260 works at only 2.4Ghz. Refer the specifications of this wireless card:

PC to Mac - slower internet speed?

I have just purchased my first mac (entry level imac 17"). I love the computer and the operating system. However, the internet speed is extremely slow (almost like dial up). I have a pc and a mac, both running off the same connection. The mac is significantly slower surfing the exact sames sites. It's not a cache issue or anything like that. The mac is just slow. I have tried both the wireless and ethernet connections and it's slow either way. I have tried downloading Firefox and that doesn't seem to make a difference either.
Any help?
Thanks

Clint,
Have you tried using the "Automatic" setting that you first saw after setup? Unless you made changes to it, I'd imagine it's still in effect, just not active since you're now using another "Location:" setting. Or, was that "Automatic" setup too slow as well?
If you'd like to try yet again, using the same basics as included in the Network Setup Assistant, but with more stringent settings:))
There's no need to dump any of your current setups that already work - at System Preferences>Network in the "Location:" selector simply use "New Location..." to name yourself yet another new setup (perhaps "wireless Feb 11") and proceed:
Set the "Show:" selector to "AirPort" and choose the "TCP/IP" pane. Check that "Configure IPv4:" is set as "Using DHCP." No other settings are necessary on that preference pane. If you make any change, be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
Switching from the "TCP/IP" pane to the "PPPoE" pane, if the isp connection settings are already held within your wireless router, which I think they most likely are, the "Connect using PPoE" box should not be checked. There would also be no need to have checked the box "Show PPPoE status in menu bar." If you make any change, again be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
Now switching from the "PPPoE" pane to the "AirPort" pane, have the box "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checked, and I suggest setting the "By default, join:" selector to "Preferred networks." Eliminate all other networks listed [remember, you'll only be eliminating them from this new location setup, not from your other, already working "location" setups], then add your wireless network security method, name and password to the preferred networks list, and click the "Apply Now" button.
Then within the "Options..." button, I would set the "If no preferred networks are found:" selector to "Keep looking for recent networks" and check the box "Require administrator password to Change wireless networks." I would definitely NOT check the "Automatically add new networks" box. Click the "OK" button and again the "Apply Now" button.
Now switch the "Show:" selector from "AirPort" to "Network Port Configurations" and drag the activated "AirPort" configuration to the top of the list. Once again click the "Apply Now" button.
Even with this new setup now activated, when you open the menu bar AirPort icon you will continue to see the other wireless networks in your area that are visible to your AirPort - but you won't have to worry about them confusing your Network connection, as it will no longer be considering them.
To return to one of your previous connection setups, simply switch the "Location:" selector to the one you want to use, and click the "Apply Now" button. The new setup just completed will remain unchanged in the "Location:" selector under the new name chosen.
Now, in the "Location:" selector name a second "New Location..." (such as "enet to router Feb 11") - this will be for ethernet access to your router.
Set "Show:" to "Built-in Ethernet" and select the "TCP/IP" pane. Check that "Configure IPv4:" is set as "Using DHCP." No other settings are necessary on that pane. If you make any change, be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
Switching from the TCP/IP pane to the PPPoE pane, if the isp connection settings are already held within your wireless router, which I think they most likely are, the "Connect using PPoE" box should not be checked. There would also be no need to have checked the box "Show PPPoE status in menu bar." If you make any change, again be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
Now switching from the "PPPoE" pane to the "Ethernet" pane, check that the "Configure:" selector is set to "Automatically" and if any change is made, click the "Apply Now" button.
Now switch the "Show:" selector from "Built-in Ethernet" to "Network Port Configurations" and drag the activated "Built-in Ethernet" configuration to the top of the list. Then drag the activated "AirPort" configuration to the position immediately under "Built-in Ethernet." Once again click the "Apply Now" button and that new setup is completed and activated. Your iMac will be connected to the router by ethernet and at the same time can use wireless to connect to a wireless printer or to another wireless computer.
After both new setups are in place, I suggest to boot from your Install Disc 1, get past the first (language selection) screen, and (after fully loading) the second screen will contain a "Utilities" pull-down in the menu bar. Open and select Disk Utility. On the left side of the box, select the top-most drive shown, on the right side select "First Aid" and then click the "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" button. Allow to run to completion. Run a second time to be sure. Do not run Disk Permissions Repairs, but instead quit the installer version of Disk Utility, quit the installer process, and restart to your usual startup disk, which you can re-select using "Startup Disk" also located in the "Utilities" pull-down where you found Disk Utility. After restarting, Repair Disk Permissions in a similar manner after opening the version of Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilites folder.
Please don't hesitate to let me know the results of the above series of recommendations.
However, if all that doesn't make for some improvement, I'd think you'd want to check with your router maker's website (or the router supplier's website if it was supplied by your isp) to see if there's a firmware update that might be applied to your router. Such an update might help your router's encryption capabilities, or might provide updated Mac support for the Intel-based Macs.
Beyond that, I'd be calling AppleCare for support with your connection, since you're still within the 90 days of AppleCare phone support that is part of your new Mac purchase.

Slow internet speed due to Marvell Yukon LAN driver

Hello all!
I am a newbie here so not sure if I am supposed to ask this question here but anyway hope my problem gets solved somehow.
I am using Toshiba Satellite A200 Notebook, I got this last week and everything works fine except for my internet speed, its too slow. I am on a 10Mb/s plan but my speed is no where close to that. I am getting speeds near 200kb/s to 300kb/s max. After a lot of googleing I came to know that the Marvell Yukon LAN driver is the problem here.
According to some websites, we are supposed to roll back the driver to a previous version, I did this but still the speed does not want to increase. I have tried almost all the things I can do but getting nowhere so far. I have called my ISP, they say everything is looking good on their side, ran Norton Antivruis scan on this machine, disabled firewall, and the list goes on but nothing.
It would be great if anyone could help me out here.
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
did you checked your connection with another computer, if the problem still exists with another machine??
Would be really interesting...otherwise I suggest you to recover your machine to "factory-default". Maybe it solves something.
Another idea would be to remove the "Qos" (Quality of service)service from your network connection which virtually slows down the connection due to software reasons.
Please give some feedback and please tell me which system youre using (Vista, XP)
Thx
bye

Slow internet speed with Site-to-Site VPN

I have 2 RV042 routers, one is version 1 and the other is Version 3 and both have up to date firmware loaded. Both ISPs are cable, one is Comcast and the other is Mediacom. I have set both MTUs to various different settings and set the upload download speeds in Bandwidth Management. Speedtest.net shows speeds at office # 1 of 30/5 and office # 2 is 10/2. The VPN connection is always active. My problem seems to be this, if data is ever being transferred between the offices the internet speed for office #2 slows down to 1.5/.12 but there isn't really any notable differences at office #1. Does anyone have any idea of what could cause the drop in speed.

This makes perfect sense depending on the size of the file. Bandwidth is limited to the speeds you stated, no matter what resource is using them--internet or vpn. Also, a large factor is that with asymmetrical bandwidth that when a lot of upload bandwidth is used, the download bandwidth suffers as well.
I bet most of the time when this happens, the file is being transferred from office #2, thereby using up all the available upload bandwidth.
Office #1 won't see the effects from file transfer because the file transfer is using download bandwidth not upload bandwidth.

Slow Internet speed, please help!!

Hi for the past month or so I've beeing getting really poor internet speeds, I've rang BT and they did some tests and I saw some kind of improvement for a little while, but now its gone back to being slow again. Please can anyone help or suggest how I can get the speed improved or resloved totally. I used to get 5Mbps minimum anytime of the day!!

It's a belkin Play Router
http://www.shop.bt.com/products/belkin-play-wireless-nn--bt-adsl-modem-router-6P61.html

Absurdly slow internet speeds and often unable to ...

I'm used to getting around 13 Mbps Internet speeds from BT.
In the last few days, although the speed tests show similar results (assuming I can actually get online to test them), Internet browsing has become painfully slow, with many pages simply not loading at all.
I've called BT, and been through some tests with them, and they assure me that everything is fine, and that my Internet speeds are as high as ever.
I've also done some hunting around on google, and tried using open DNS settings, but to no avail. It's especially hard to upload data, and it's almost impossible to send email.
Occasionally, if I turn on my Mac after a longish break, I can get online easily, and send e-mail for a few minutes, then the problem returns.
BT insist that there's nothing wrong with the line, but the fact that the problem affects both my Mac and my iPad suggests that the problem is not with my computer.
Indeed, I'm now in the local pub, and everything is working just fine.
I've been through all the usual things - checking location of Homehub (even though it was absolutely fine for 18 months in its current location), changed the ADSL micro-filter, changed the wireless channel, etc, and to no avail.
What else can anyone suggest?
Thank you.

So, the first time I did this speed-test was on my return home, when everything was working fine again.

Windows 7 64 Bit Very VERY slow internet speed

I just bought two new laptops for my wife and I and we've been having terrible trouble with download speeds since taking them out the box.
We are using the exact same configuration and IP as before only our last two computers were on XP and Vista but there were no issues whatsoever. I even went and bought a new router just in case that was the problem but it made absolutely no difference, leaving
me with the conclusion its a problem with the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
Currently I cannot even watch a Youtube video because after loading the first couple of seconds, it stops loading and then after a couple of minutes there's a quick burst of speed and stops again.
I can't complete a speed test on my connection on either laptop. Normally this would take only a few seconds but the site (speedtest.net) crashes every time using windows 7.
Setup;
Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i3 2310M @ 2.1Ghz
4Gb of RAM
My IP is VirginMedia UK on a 10Mb connection (same problem wired or wireless)
As you can imagine this is very frustrating since I have just paid out over £1000 to find my browsing experience has virtually at a stand still.
Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated

I recently had the same problem after installing Windows 7 64bit. The internet speed for some reason was really slow. After looking for a solution I tried to flush the DNS. It worked.
Open start menu
type "cmd" in the search then hit enter key
when the new screen opens type:
ipconfig /release
hit enter and then type
ipconfig /flushdns
hit enter and then type
ipconfig /renew
hit enter and the problem is solved.

Slow internet speed, being used by unknown websites
