Connection will not reach advertised speeds.

Could anyone shed some light on this issue? 
I have the 15Mbps/5Mbps package with Verizon Fios, however I noticed that my speed with downloading (and possible web-surfing) is signficantly slower than either of the above speeds, whether connected using wireless or an ethernet cable.
When using Steam for example, I reach download rate sof about 1.2 Mbps at a friend's house.
When at my own location which uses Fios, it reaches a maximum of aroud 750 KB/s.
This is with multiple programs, whether it be Google Chrome, Steam, Origin, iTunes, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

It might be a good idea to consider posting up another topic so that we can better help you get to the bottom of what is going on.

I too have this problem. I just had the Triple play installed 11/08/11, and the internet is slower than DSL I had. The TV channel selection is slow, Had Dishnetwork and
channel selection is much faster and could access the boxes faster.
I'm wondering if I made the right choice now. I just hope I don't have to make many phone calls and not speak to someone in another country.

    After reading the whole post, I still don't capture the exact error message or code from it when you failed to install Office 2013. 
    The only clue is that "bootstrap loader error" ...
    It seems that you want to upgrade Office 2007 to new Office 2013, by default, we could complete the uninstall previous Office version and install the new Office in the installation wizard.
    At this point, if you get the install source through CD or other media. I recommand that we copy/paste the installation to local drive. Then turn off all of anti-virus and firewall, begin to setup in
    Windows clean boot mode.
    Please use a setup log to troubleshoot setup problems in Office if the installation problem still occurs.

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • DSL will not work after speed upgrade

    I ordered a speed upgrade (from 3 to 5 down) a couple weeks ago.   On Tuesday they confirmed that they completed the order but now the DSL will not work at all.   I have an old Westell B90 Infospeed DSL modem (branded as Bell Atlantic) and they swear that the modem is not the problem.   I have been on the phone with tech support every day for a week now and still no service.    I do not believe they are actually doing anything to remedy the situation.   Twice now I was promised a tech would come to my house.   I have taken time off from work to stay home and nobody ever comes.    One day they say it can be resolved at the central office then that evening they say a tech needs to come.   I wait for tech and nobody shows so I call them back.   They then tell me again that the problem is at the central office and no need for a tech.  They have run me down this path 3 times now.   Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can actually get a tech to show up??  I think the call center people are full of lies and just passing me around to avoid the problem.   I am in Montgomery County Maryland.  

    Post your modem status from the modem.

  • Powerpivot data connection will not save the password

    I'm trying to create a Powerpivot workbook with data that users can refresh themselves before analysis.  We don't have Powerpivot data refresh in Sharepoint active, so I can't make use of that service.
    When I create a Powerpivot data connection to SQL server using SQL Server Authentication (unchanging read-only username and password), and checking the box to save the password, the connection works fine for refreshing the data as long as I leave the workbook
    open.
    If I close the file and re-open it, the password is gone from the data connection and the user cannot refresh the data.
    I've tried configuring the data connection with the SQL native client provider and the SQL OLEDB provider and I see exactly the same results.
    The connection string gets built with Persist Security Info=True and the Password shows up as hidden text (dots).  It stays this way through refreshes as long as the workbook is open.  However, once I close the file and re-open it, the
    connection string no longer has the Password parameter listed at all, not even as hidden text.  Persist Security Info is still there and set to True.  As might be expected, the connection string does not have the information needed to access the
    SQL Server instance.
    This type of connection string using SQL Server Authentication still works fine with the password saved when used directly as an Excel data connection, or when used as a data source in Reporting Services.  It's only Powerpivot where the password gets
    blown away.
    Is there a workaround for this issue?

    Thanks Jaynet.
    Unfortunately, the procedure described in the link you provided does not work for PowerPivot, at least in Excel 2010.
    If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Database/From SQL Server" there is no option to "Allow saving password".  There is only the checkbox to "Save my password".  There is an "Advanced" button that allows you to set many additional
    properties of the data connection, but there is nothing like allow saving password.
    If I create the PowerPivot data connection using "From Other Sources/Others (OLEDB/ODBC)" and then click the "Build" button, I get a dialog that is pretty close to the one in your link.  For the Provider tab, I can choose either the Microsoft OLE DB
    Provider for SQL Server or the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.  In the connection tab I do have the "Allow saving password" checkbox.  I check this and complete the rest of the data connection configuration.  After I save the file with this data
    connection and then re-open it, the data will not refresh.  If I edit the existing connection from the PowerPivot design tab, the Password parameter is completely missing from the connection string.  If I go back into the connection string builder,
    there is nothing in the password field (not even dots) and allow saving password is no longer checked.
    I've even tried creating my own connection string in Notepad and pasting it into the connection string box (definitely including Persist Security Info=True).  This does not work either and PowerPivot erases the entire Password parameter just the same
    as if I had used the builder and checked Allow saving password.
    I'm beginning to think that the previous poster, David Hager, has it right.  This may be a bug introduced with the latest version of PowerPivot.  If there is no workaround, it is a total pain for me.

  • MSN Dial-up connection will not connect

    Hello,
    I just purchased an iMac with Mac OS X operating system. On my old computer I had an MSN dial-up connection and have tried to use this same internet connection on my new mac but for some reason the MSN will not connect. I tried a different dial-up service which did work, but need the MSN to connect. Any suggestions on how to get it to connect? Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Why do you need MSN to connect?
    MSN Mail is usually over Hotmail, which Mac OS X Mail can pickup using

  • WRT54G - Desktop connects, wireless connections will not

    I have a WRT54G router and until a few days ago it worked fine. My desktop connects to the internet, however the two wireless computers will not. I am also unable to connect to router via 192.168.1.1 on the desktop. Both wireless computer show a strong signal but do not connect to the internet. I checked the ip adress on one of the wireless computers and for some reason, it has aquired the router address (192.168.1.1). How can I fix this? I tired ipconfig/release and renew but it keeps using the same address.
    Thank you in advance

    As you mentioned in the post .... under wireless connection it show Ip 192.168.1.1 .... click start >> control panel >> network conection >> Wireless network connection properties ...
    Go to Internet protocol TCP/IP .... check that is it showing Ip settingsunder Manul/Static or DHCP ....
    If Manual then change it to Automatic Configuration DHCP .... click OK ...reboot the computer. ... Try to connect to new network ....
    See if you are going online ....

  • DVI shutting down my computer- if dvi adapter connected will not re-start

    I have a G4 12" Powerbook running Leopard 10.5.4. I just noticed that when I plug in an adapter for external video into my DVI port the computer flashes a blue screen then asks if I want to shutdown. before I can answer it turns off. This happens whether a monitor is attached or not. If I try to restart with the DVI adapter attached the computer shuts down before the startup is complete.
    I use to use external monitors a lot but have not for the last 2 months when I went to try it will not work. What could be wrong??

    I installed the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Supplemental update 1.0 on 3/24/12 and now it won't wake from sleep when put to sleep from the Apple menu or energy saver time out. The not waking from sleep did not happen before the update. (Safari 5.1.4, Digital Camera Raw C ups 3.11, and iTunes updated at the same time) I didn't have any sleep problems with the previous 10.7.3 update install on 2/3/12
    iMac 21.5 inch 2.5ghz i5 Mid 2011 Lion 10.7.3 11D50. Mouse and keyboard are hardwired, no bluetooth, no other USB or Firewire devices. I tried the PRAM and SMC resets, Bluetooth off, All Sharing off and nothing works.
    Energy saver set to sleep = never, works for now; if it doesn't sleep - it can't wake from sleep, eh?
    In any case: other users might consider holding off on the 10.7.3 update 1.0, because I didn't have the sleep problem before.
    I'm wondering if I can revert to the previous version 10.7.3 with Time Machine, or if there is a fix I haven't come across searching the forums

  • E3000 wireless connections not reaching maximum speed

    E3000 running 1.0.0.3 firmware on Cox premier 30mb pipe. 2 wireless dell laptops Inspiron 9100 and Vostro 1000running 1350 and 1390 mini wireless g network cards with latest drivers installed. Direct connect machines run at full 30mb connection speedtest.net and Cox's own speed test. Wireless machines sitting next to router with excellent connection showing 48 to 54Mbps capacity but only getting 3-10Mbps throughput on speedtests. Cust Support through level 1, 2 and HQ cannot find the problem. Originally thought it was bad hardware so original router replaced and doing the same thing.
    Sincerely appreciate any clues, suggestions or ideas anyone may have. The laptops are both about 5 yrs old or more but they should reach the capacity available, even on G networks, shouldn't they?
    Thank you kindly!

    How much speed do you get on a wired computer?
    Speed test is not always accurate on most of the websites.  You have Cox premier 30mb connection and you are getting 28-30 mbps speed on wireless computer. So I think the speed is pretty good.
    If you are still getting slow speed then you can try changing the advanced wireless settings on the router.
    Open the setup page of the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
    Go to the setup tab and change the MTU size to 1365. Save the settings. Power cycle the router and observe the speed.
