Hi,
I have been with BT for a few months now and the internet speeds have been fluxuating a lot with the norm download speeds being that stated above. Im using wired through a homeplug. Quoted realistcally between 2mbs and 6mbs. I recently did a tracert to bbc and the result was below. My line has been tested and apparently there are no faults with it. Getting really frustrated with BT's customer service and thought the community would be better help, thanks!

Ordered a doubling of internet speed, but I am not seeing any difference in speed

Is there any thing I can view that will tell me exactly what internet speed I am receiving. The only thing I know of is by putting my mouse over the litte "bars" icon in the lower left of the screen. It says "Speed: 54.0 mbps". It said that before, and now it says the same thing after my internet speed was supposed to have been doubled. ???

Back to this part of the question, there are several ways to test speed..... One of my favorites is http://speedtest.net/ as previously mentioned.
Just keep in mind that your speed is determined by the slowest part of the network path including the server at the other end. Most likely you are getting the FIOS speed from your router to the CO.

Slow Internet Speed BUT NOT on speedtests? Trans data available

Hi!
I am currently signed up for a 1mbps connection, however my speed is always capped at 160 kbps! That is unless I run the verizon speed test or use the one on speedtest.net
I always get the right speed ( 1 mbps) but this is only when doing the speed test otherwise no matter what I download is always capped at 160kbps, tech support failed by just looking at the speedtest result and telling me I was fine.
I have a westell 7500 Modem.
and here are my results on the trans

Download this file and tell me what the speed you get in KB/s (Kilobytes a second) is. Also, are the speeds you see consistent throughout the day and night or are they improved during the morning hours?

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.

Internet Speed Widget?

I find my internet slows on occasion and I would like a way of telling, preferably a Widget, but I cannot find one on the Apple website. Is there a simple widget that tells you your download/upload speeds, and preferably in MBs??
Thanks.

As stated the widget you offered will not show internet speeds but I emailed them to ask about what I was looking for and if they might create one anyway? I'll post their reply if useful.
I am using iStat Pro and it shows internet speeds in its Network section. Check the settings ('i" in upper-left corner). (I use the vertical display.)

Lan Internet SPEED control

Hi Guys,
I would like to know how do i control the number of speed for other users of the internet., as much as i hate to say that it's all being paid by me alone, however im in a different country for the moment to which i needed to subscibre internet connection but didnt want to limit it to myself knowing others may think of me being so greedy when its just internet.. lol..
I applied for 3MBPS Internet speed but to my surprise after giving out the PW to 5 people who lives the same place as mine even SKYPE is freakin LAG when they're all here..
Thank u

Did you try creating a new location and deleting the old one? Just renewing the DCHP on its own may not be enough. Follow all the instructions here, first:

If that doesn't work, have a look at my further instructions here:

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

Hi,
No, it was Apple. Last night the movie (Argo) was downloaded. It took about an hour, however it did not open.
I can watch the preview, but can't open it.
Thanks for your interest.

As with previous posts this is usually a DHCP issue and occurs frequently especially with routers connected to Cable Modems or those Micro-Cell towers.
Unplug all Routers, AirPorts (or other off brand Wi-Fi broadcast units) and any other Wireless broadcast unit that might provide you with a WDS (often other AirPorts feeding off the signal of the AirPort closest to Cable/DSL Modem) and best to totally power down the Unit affected; lastly either hold a reset button on Cable/DSL modem for 30-45 seconds or actually power it down if an option (not suppose to power down Cable Modems that have Telephony for some odd never completely explained to me reason).
Let Cable/DSL Modem re-boot till 'all green lights'. Then power up each device involved in order from closest to farthest waiting each time for completion of initiation. Micro-cell towers can take 10 minutes to completely re-boot and you must wait for across the board green lights in my experience. Even WDS can add a few minutes till all green on mother AirPort unit.
Only NOW may you re-start the offending device and see if it will connect. Works about 99% of the time!

E3000 has slow Ethernet speed but ok wireless Internet speed

My Cisco E3000 has slowed it's Ethernet speed so slow that it times out when going to Facebook, YouTube or any site that is complex. It worked fine until one day it just gave up. It's connected to DSL Modem with Ethernet To a Apple Mac G5 power PC There are two other older macs connected via Ethernet, same problem. When I took the router out of the chain, and connected G5 directly to modem, normal internet speed. My firmware is up to date. Both wireless bands work great. When I look at Cisco Connect, everything looks normal. factory settings. I worked great then something changed. help me, my kids are revolting.
Solved!

Yup, check the firewall settings. Since you said firmware is updated, then you may need to reset and reconfigure the router.

Poor Internet speed, TC 535kbps but through WAG300N 6654kbps

Ok so I took the plunge and purchased a new TC 1TB yesterday and after going through the Airport Utility setup process everything seems to be working apart from the very poor internet speed when connecting via the TC > WAG300N.
Linksys WAG300N Download-6654kbps / Upload-355kbps
Apple Time Capsule Download-535kbps / Upload-348kbps
_*TC details*_
Status: Normal (Green)
Version: 7.5.1
_*Internet Connection*_
Connect Using: Ethernet
Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default) +*I have tried all the options with this setting*+
Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address +*I have also tried the "Off (Bridge Mode) setting*+
TCP/IP
IP Address: I have set manual
Router address: Points to my WAG300N
DNS Server(s): This is set to my WAG300N +*I have tried the DNS addresses from my ISP which still result in the 535kbps Download speed*+
I have tried different Cat cables and different ethernet slots from the TC WAN to the WAG300N, I have also connected my MacBook with an ethernet cable directly to the TC. The hardwired connection still gave me the same speed test results.
I hope I have listed all the information that someone might need to help me out. If you need any further details just shout and I will post them.
One last thing, could this be a faulty Time Capsule?

Good News
I borrowed my father-in-law's old 3COM modem/router to test out my feeling that the ethernet ports on my WAG300N were not playing ball.
I'm now a very happy bunny! setting the 3COM in Bridge Mode and using PPPoE on the Time Capsule I have my MacBook and iPhone the wife's XP laptop and BlackBerry all running through the Time Capsule
My speeds are now as they should be:

Slow internet speed on Mac, but not on iPad

So, I've just tested my internet speed on my Mac and I got very low results. I also ran the test on my iPad and got the full and regular speed. I noticed that indeed the internet is faster on my iPad. This wasn't happening at all, not that I can remember. Is my Mac's network card damaged or something?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

I have Internet speed 1 GB but Time Capsule last generation is share wifi maximum speed 200 Mb.

I have a TC ME177/LL/A and an Internet speed of 1 GB. My TC is working on WiFi with maximum speed of 200 Mb. Is anybody which has same problem and fix it?

You cannot get even close to your 1GB speed with an Apple router.. that are just not fast enough even on ethernet.. on wireless you can expect a very substantial drop.. 200Mbps is hugely fast internet for wireless to a router.. and that does indicate an actually connection speed (link rate) of something in the order of 600-800Mbps.. wireless is also another form of politics.. it is how to tell lies.. and when found out.. tell even bigger ones to cover it up.

Win 7 on bootcamp partition, very slow internet speed

hi!
it might be an answer to my problem somewhere on this forum, but
right now i do not have the time to browse through - so ill just post my problem quick and simple.
im running windows 7 ultimate on a intel imac, via bootcamp. the issue is simple, yet pretty annoying.
in iOS, my internet speed is great, as it should be (my bandwidth is 12/12 mbit).
but in windows 7, for some reason (been like this ever since install) things are going SO slow.
i mean, watching videos on youtube is a nightmare, every 3 second at lowest quality possible, it still
has to buffer. same goes for other streaming sites/services. downloading usually does not exceed 300 kb/ps, but in
ios this could easily hit 1,5 mb/ps.
if i listen to music on say grooveshark (adjusted to lowest quality) the music stops to buffer if i load a different webpage. its that bad.
ive taken a bandwidth check in windows and in iOS, and in iOS the speed is normal, in windows its 1/10th of what it should be.
anyone know why this problem persists?
as i know of, windows 7 doesnt have any bandwidth limiting of default.
so i thought it might be a windows 7/imac hardware conflict. help?

Hi, I'm having the same problem.
I installed win8.1(64bit) on a iMac7,1 20inch(mid 2007) using Winclone.
Everything was working fine after I downloaded some driverhelper and installed those drivers.
Yet the internet on Win8.1 is very slow, the download speed is merely 60-100kb/s .
While if I open the Mac system, the same resource can easily to beyong 2MB/s.
As I have 25Mb/10Mb connection at home.
I'm new here , don't know exactly what driver I need to fix this problem.
Try to install boot camp.
However, I tried 5.0 / 4.0 , it all said bootcamp x64 is not supported on this computer model.
Don't know where i can download the bootcampe 3.0 to have a try ?
Or is it just too old iMac to be fixed？
