Checked download speed on 'speakeasy', over 5mbs, but site open too slow

certain web sites like WGT.com open very slow, even when my download speed is at 5mb/s or faster. Why is this?

Paul,
can you carry out a speed test and post the result please?

sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

  • Download speeds, 600kb/s via speedtester, but only...

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know why Im getting download speeds of around 600kb/s via speedtesters and the Binary newsgroups, but via hotfile, megaupload and rapidshare (have premium accounts for all) i'm only getting 30kb/s ???
    Im baffled completely !!
    Are BT throttling these sites ??
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave,
    The BT speedtester runs completly different to file sharing sites. When you test with the BT Speedtester, your connection isn't going out to the internet. From what I gather, It goes from your Computer, through the exchange and then straight to the BT Speedtester servers (without going out to the internet). By doing this it bypasses any of the traffic going out to the internet and doesn't get affected by the national contention ratios which is important for an accurate test. This is probably why you are only getting 30kb/s on external file sharing sites. I suggest you try and use the Thinkbroadband speedtest here: http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html to see if it is a problem with either the contention or something else.
    Good luck

  • Upload Increased to Match Download Speed -... "I am still on the Slow Escalator"

    Have had FiOS for quite a few years and love it.  Most recently, my internet was upgraded to give me matching 75 MBPS upload speed.  However, since receiving the upgrade my service became problamatic.  I DJ via SAM Broadcaster and my stream was cutting out quite a bit because SAMS was sending data (Upload) faster than my internet service was sending.  I broadcast at 192 kbps and because of problems had to back it down to 128 kbps because of the slow upload. Before the upgrade, my internet speed was 75 MBPS Download and 35 MBPS Upload.  While it was 35 MBPS my upload speed averaged about 30 MBPS.  However, after the upgrade my upload speed never gets close to 30 MBPS.   It is sporatic ranging from 1 MBPS to 15 MBPS.  All of this of course is wired testing direct to the Advanced FiOS Actiontec router.  Did all the usual testing... Factory reset the router, changed ethernet cables, tried testing with a couple difrerent laptops and same result.  I even did a self reboot of the ONT by powering it down, disconnecting the battery, then 20 min later powering back up.   Once I did what I know, of course I contacted Verizon via Chat Support.   They rebooted ONT, factory reset the router, had me run the optimizer etc.  Did multiple tests and could not get over 6 MBPS upload.  They worked with FiOS Network and did a few things.   Whatever they did seemed to put me up to around 15 MBPS when I did speed tests.   Of course, that was still not acceptable since I was provisioned for 75/75 service.  So, they setup a dispatch.   Today the FiOS Technician came out and did all the same testing.   They connected directly to the ONT with a device and confirmed the same test results.  That was a relief because it ruled out my computer, wiring, router, etc..etc...   The FiOS Tech replaced my ONT and BHR.  Once all of that was completed, retested.   After multiple tests, upload was still running in the 15 to 20 MBPS range.  They engaged the FSC and worked with a NT.  They tried to put the service on what was called "Dummy Cross Connects" and this did not make any difference.  The technician indicated it was being referred to In Home Network (IHN).  After the technician worked with IHN, they ended up re-initializing the PON card my service was provisioned to.   After that happened, my upload speed increased to over 50 MBPS which I could live with............   except, two hours after the technician left my upload speed has dropped back down into the 20 MBPS range.  Unfortunately, the problem has not been resolved.  Any suggestions from this forum would be appreciated.

  • Downloaded Firefox it does not show but is open for when I uninstall it I am requested to close ff which cannot be done as it does not show

    After a check on compatibility of Add Ons by FF after opening it, it stopped working. I re installed FF and the same happened. I have FF re installed but now it wont show the start page and when trying to remove FF I am requested to first close FF. to do this I have to close my PC ( Windows XP) as the FF opening page does not show and I consequently can not close it
    I like using FF, all my bookmarked info and references for a book I am writing is on it so I have to get it working

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Love Aperture 3's new features, but finding it too slow to be usable.

    About a year ago I took on photography as a serious hobby, and have been looking for a good photo management program. I have a Nikon D300s camera and started with the nView software, before upgrading to Photoshop CS4. Bridge was fast, but a bit too utilitarian for my liking so I began looking into alternatives like Lightroom 3 and Aperture 3. My goal is to find a program that is quick, responsive, and capable of performing the majority of my basic editing, while allowing me to maintain a nicely organized photo library. I shoot in the .RAW format and have about 7k photos in a referenced library. I have installed all system updates, including the prokit update.
    So as the title suggest, I love almost everything about the new Aperture. Its interface is beautiful, photo organization is a snap, and it has some very powerful editing tools. That being said, it is unbearably slow. Brush edits can take up to 3-5 minutes to show, while the brush tool tip chunks around the screen. Even showing the color overlay can take a few minutes. Zooming into a photo can also take upwards to 2-3 minutes. If I have made more then a few adjustments, toggling them on and off can take a minute or longer.
    During these delays, I don't get a beach balls, but my computer slows to a crawl. According to Apertures activity center it is "processing." Some times it is so many processes behind, that I wonder if it is processing adjustments that I have already changed. Bringing up the activity monitor usually shows that cpu usage is 40% or below, with Aperture rarely taking more than 2.5gb of RAM.
    I have tried all the tricks I have read about online, faces off, places off, preview sized maxed out, preview size minimized, prokit update, deleting cache files, starting new libraries with fewer pictures, and creating Steve Jobs effigies to place around the office. It feels like I have tried it all. I am even willing to format my computer and start from scratch, even though everything but aperture runs great.
    My trial is about to run out again and I am just so frustrated. I want to buy this program, but at the moment the lightroom 3 beta runs circles around it performance wise. Is there anything I haven't tried that might make Aperture useable?

    I share your frustration.
    I am in love with Aperture's features, its workflow, and its OS integration. But I can't live with its behavior. I postponed my final decision to put Aperture on the shelf until this week, when my new MacBook Pro arrived. I bought the latest model, Core i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD. I have 700MB of free space on my new HD, and there is no fragmentation. You could say that I have about as snappy a system as Apple makes these days.
    Using A3 on this system is generally OK. But working with the retouching brush, while a lightyear better than my late 2008 MacBook Pro, is still dreadful. I want to use the retouching brush to remove blemishes and wrinkles from photos of women. This usually requires lots of small brush strokes. After the first few brush strokes, A3 slows down to the point of frustration. It takes about 20 seconds for the effects of the brush stroke to appear, which makes it not a productive use of my time.
    I don't understand the constant need for Aperture to be "processing" something in the Activity window, but I've learned that when it's processing, you can't really get anything else done.
    Exporting versions to disk is the final indignity. It's usually the last thing I do before quitting a session in Aperture. Yesterday, I wanted to export two retouched files to JPG for an email proof. This took several minutes for my MBP to complete. Lightroom's beta version completes the task in a few seconds.
    Inexcusably bad performance on my high end hardware.
    Sorry Aperture, but I'm back to Lightroom and Photoshop. I'll check back when Apple releases Aperture 3.1 and hope they figure this out.

  • I have Elements 8. I have bought A Nikon D750 and take Raw files. I have downloaded Raw 8.8 file converter, but cannot open Raw files

    I have Elements 8. Raw converter for my previous Nikon D300s worked ok. Now I have D750 cannot open Raw files. I have downloaded lastest Raw converter from Adobe 8.8
    Still cannot open Raw file. Get message "cannot open as it is wrong type of file" How do I get the latest Raw converter to work with Elements 8? Any info gratefully received.

    Are you saying you converted from NEF to DNG? If so, after you convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format, the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Need a lot of custom JComponents, but Java just too 'slow', other Solution?

    Hi folks,
    first of all i'll try to explain my problem (although my english is quite bad)
    We're programming a tool for visualising graph algorithms (df search, strong connected components, transitive reduction etc.) For that, we got a drawing area (derived from JLayeredPane) which contains the Nodes and the Edges of a graph (for all that don't know what a graphs is, just imagine these nodes as numbered circles, and the edges as directed lines from one node to another).
    Both parts (Nodes and Edges) are derived from JComponent, because a) need MouseEvents on these Components and b) we need the ability to add them to a container (like JLayeredPane)
    An absolute requirement is that you can directly click on the edges (to mark them, or delete them etc)
    Another point which needs to be mentioned, the edges maintain a (invisible) polygon which lies around their line, this polygon is sensitive for mouseEvents.
    Now there are two main problems:
    * all these edges have (due to JComponent) (possibly) huge invisible rectangles (the only thing that really matters is the line from one corner of this rect. to the other) ...so if i got lets say a graph with 10.000 edges, there are a lot of edges that overlap (nearly 10.000 :) ) ... but only the Edge-object on top receives the MouseEvent (but perhaps the user wanted to cklick a edge that lies below the top-edge!) .. at the moment, the program looks at all edges below that which received the MouseEvent and checks wether the 'mouse'click' hits a polygon, If it does, the top edge dispatches the MouseEvent to that edge. (furthermore, due to the depth-order in a Layer of a JLayeredPane, we only need to look at all edges that are really below the egde that received the mouseEvent)
    This all works great for 'small' numbers of edges (approximately 1000-2000) but with a rising number of edges this attempt gets slower and slower (it takes 1-3 seconds to evaluate a single mouseclick on a Sun Ultra 5/333)
    * the bigger problem is, that if i got 10k+ JComponents in a Container Java gets really slow, just adding these 10k JComps. (to the JLayeredPane) takes some minutes?! Furthermore java consumes up to 200+ MB main memory in this situation.
    One solution we are currently thinking about is to implement these edges as 'pure graphics'-objects (for example the Container just draws all edges).. this probably solves problem # 2 but # 1 gets even worse (no depth-order, some more coordinates hassle)
    So, i hope someone can give me a hint for this problem or someone has had a similar problem before and has a good solution? (if the problem isnt clear, just ask)

    I worked on an application once that had a similar structure as yours, but we were only scaling up to about 1000-2000 components. The problem that we identified (and that you have, no doubt, also identified) is that you are searching all of the child components on every hit test/overlap test. What we did was to subdivide out outermost container so that it had a couple of dozen children, each of which then parented some of the original child components: this cut our search space for every hit test dramatically. We had the advantage of having collections of child componenents that we knew would not overlap so our first level containers did not overlap -- you may need your first level containers to overlap, but even with this, you'll still be able to much more quickly identify components in the immediate region that should be checked individuall.

  • How do I disable this feature? As you're opening a new tab or typing in the Awesome Bar, Firefox will check to see if you already have that site open. If you do, you'll be directed to the existing tab so you don't open a duplicate.

    When I am in my classroom where I am teaching, I sometimes open a duplicate tab so I can go back and forth while I am grading. This gives me the assignment and grade book open at the same time. This is much faster than opening and closing the two screens as I have to do when I can't open a duplicate site.
    If I cannot disable this feature, can I undo this upgrade and return to the previous version? Thanks for your help.
    Martin Gordon

    When you enter a site in the URL/Location/Address bar and see "Switch to tab" in the drop-down, you can
    *use ALT+Enter to open the new (duplicate) tab anyway
    *use CTRL+left-click on the original tab and drag it until you see an up arrow from below the break point between two tabs, then release the left-click key, then release the CTRL key to get a duplicate of the tab with all of its history (Back/Forward)
    *press the Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to Tab" and see the URL.
    *Use the cursor Right key to select an item marked as Switch to Tab in the drop down list and copy the URL to the location bar.
    *Open the URL in the current tab by using Shift + Enter on the highlighted entry.
    You can install this Add-on to completely disable "switch to tab": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more/

  • Is this really the only way to download a CD to iTunes? It's way too slow...

    Hi, I have tons of CDs I want to upload into iTunes using my new Dell computer. I just inserted my first CD. It has 11 songs and says it will take 39.8 minutes and is taking as long to download each song as it does to listen to it. This is not going to be possible to do with hundreds of CDs I have. Should I go back to using my Microsoft Media Player? That takes just a few seconds to download on. I don't understand why iTunes takes for eternity....been over 20 minutes barely through the first half of the fist CD...will take years at this pace. Thoughts??? Did you go through this too? I already give up after midway through my first CD, can't use itunes if it's going to take this long to transfer my music onto it...

    So...basically I just want to know if this is normal, to take this long to transfer music onto iTunes.
    1. It took 40 minutes to upload a 40 minute CD onto iTunes.
    2. It is taking equally long to transfer music that I drag from my Microsoft music library onto iTunes. I started doing this hours ago today and am only on the 4th CD (have hundreds so how long is this going to take? Is it normal to take this long?)
    I had Microsoft Music on my old Dell computer from 2001, I NEVER had to update it, and it took seconds to upload each song, not minutes like iTunes....and that was on my old computer...I just bought a new one I'm using, had to re-install iTunes to the latest version and for the first time downloading CD/s/existing music onto it and it's taking forever. Is it because of the latest 10.5 version? Is it normal? Is everyone else experiencing this? Is it a problem with my computer or iTunes setting? Am I doing something wrong? Please if anyone can share their experience for my reference I would really appreciate it, thanks.

  • I downloaded the update and now my pc is running too slow- I have done the reset thing with no improvement. What do I do now? This happens too often

    I have emptied the cache, I have reset Firefox, I have tried doing the start in safe mode. Basically since the last Firefox update (which appeared to be more of a security update) the browser is slower than a wet week! Once you get to something with graphics it is almost at a standstill! I am really frustrated as I use my computer a lot for a lot of things and this is making it near impossible to use! I have done everything suggested in your help thing with no luck. The next step would be to uninstall and reinstall

    Hello
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Display suddenly changed I have tried changing in utilities but nothing works.  The print is enormous and out of focus the screen has shrunk in width but programs open too stretched in length? What can I do?

    The display suddently changed two days ago.  Everthing exploded in size.  I have tried changing the contrast but nothing works.  The display screen becomes either too wide, too long, or too narrow and in all cases the font is extra large and out of focus.  What can I do please   I am really disappointed since my iMac is only 2.5 months old.

    Don't think so.  But tried it anyway.  I have been into utilities and tried different contrast settings now I don't know what is the right one.  But no matter which one I tried I have either about a third of the screen black, with display centered as though hidden behind the black.  What is going on?
    Also, I have to say that I can't understand why there is no information anywhere on what the correct settings should be.
    Any ideas Capt?

  • Yosemite Drops WiFi Download Speed 25%

    I really had no problems with Yosemite on my late-2013 MBP Retina...until I did a Speedtest.net test of my Internet speed, in this case over a wi-fi connection to my router.
    I routinely get 55-60 Mbit/sec download speeds, but with Yosemite I got only 40-45 Mbit/sec, roughly a 25% reduction. In case it was just a slowdown from my ISP, I checked using wired Ethernet, which showed my usual 55-60 Mbit/sec throughput. Toggling immediately back to wi-fi, the speed went back down to the 40-45 Mbit/range.
    I saw others with wi-fi issues under Yosemite and tried the proposed solutions that some said fixed the wi-fi speed (and wi-fi drops) problems--turn off Bluetooth for one. Nothing helped. So I restored the Time Machine backup of my Mavericks installation and...everything wifi-related is back to normal. Same network speeds as before Yosemite.
    Lesson learned--always do a full backup before a major OS upgrade just in case.

    just in case following settings I have at home: router in mixed mode, 20/40MHz auto, WMM enabled
    Download this and take a look which channel of your router had the best signal and make changes on your router to the best channel within 1-11. Try your speed test again to see if this helps.

  • E900 wireless router- slow download speeds

    So I have xfinity internet with download speeds up to 25mbps. But according to the online test I'm getting speeds up to 10. I googled online and found that I could disable the WMM but when I tried that it actually made it worse, which i couldn't find anyone else that said that happened to. I'm using a mac computer, and motorola docsis 3.0 sb6121 modem. I've been trying to do my online work and it's really annoying that my websites are freezing up and taking forever to load. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    The 25mbps download speed, is it the actual speed that you are getting wired directly to the modem using the online test? If not, then you need to clear it out from your internet provider.
    Is the 10 mbps the speed that you're getting wired or wirelessly connected to the router? If wireless, try connecting your computer directly to the router using an ethernet cable. If both wired and wireless connections are slow,  then you may need to upgrade your router's firmware or adjust MTU settings. Use the links below as your guide.
    Determining and setting up the correct MTU size
    How to change MTU size
    Downloading the router's firmware
    Upgrading router's firmware
    If the slow internet connection is evident only to wireless devices and not on the wired connection, then you need to adjust your router's wireless settings or do the following: change the wireless security to WPA2 personal, adjust wireless channel to lessen interference (usetrial and error to test which channel works for your network environment), place router in an open space, bring electronic devices away from the router, and check the wireless adapter on your computer -make sure that drivers are also up to date. Also remember that if multiple devices are connected to your router and browsing/downloading from the internet at the same time, it will surely lower the speed on every computer.
