Extremely slow downstream speed using ethernet

I have a G5 Dual 2.3. I started to notice that my downstream speed seemed to be slow. So I went to speakeasy.net to do a downstream rate test. Much to my amazement my downstream speed is 400-500kbps! It's normally 6000kbs since I have a cable modem.
I tried bypassing my router by plugging the cable modem directly into the ethernet port on my G5 and still had the slow speeds. For kicks I tried pluggint the cable modem directly into my G4 Powerbook and the downloads were now at 6100kbps!! ***!!
I then decided to try sharing the ethernet connection (with the cable modem plugged directly into it) from my Powerbook over my airport network using the powerbooks airport antenna. I then connected my G5 to my G4's shared internet connection and lo and behold, 6000+ kbps!! It seems like there is an issue by the ethernet connection on my G5. Anyone heard of anything like this?
Any suggestions as to what to do?
Thanks,
John

This sounds like duplex mismatching. Try going into your network preferences and force the NIC to 100/FD and see if your speed is the same. What router are you using?

Help! Extremely slow Internet speed using Linksys WRT54G router

I have an eMac running OS 10.3.9 and wired to a Linksys WRT54G router using ethernet cable. I have to use this router for my work PC. I'm also using WildBlue satellite internet. The problem is, I'm getting about 1.5 Mbps on my PC, but less than 33 Kbps on my eMac. It was running faster before using dial-up. I've called WildBlue and Linksys tech support, and they can't help. Can anyone help?
By the way, my son is using his iBook on the same router, only wireless, and he's happy with the speed he's getting compared to dial-up.
Thanks,
Eric

1400 kbps is a lot nicer than 33 kbps, isn't it? You can possiblly tweak it a little more --- I know I've seen a MTU of 1460 mentioned --- since you can also revert back to the 1400 MTU setting you found.
(Broadband Optimizer is in one sense a nice GUI to the terminal commnads you found and used.)
One more thing to be aware of, satellite internet is subject to longer latency times than cable or DSL, due to the unavoidable geometry of bouncing data packets off a satellite in orbit. That could be an issue if you ever want to play real-time online multiplayer adventure type games. It shouldn't be an issue for being able to grab OS updates in minutes instead of hours, through. Enjoy your broadband access!

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.

Macbook pro: Extremely slow upload speed

Hi,
I know this question has beed raised many times before me, seemingly from hundreds or thousands of users, but none of the threads I have found has lead to any solution.
My new Macbook Pro (15 inch), using Lion 10.7.3, is simply unable to obtain anything but an extremely slow upload speed, when using Wifi. I am using an Apple Airpor Extreme wifi device. My work PC, my older Macbook Pro (13 inch), all tablets and telephones etc hooks up to the same Wifi device and obtain all the speed they should, but my new Macbook Pro is sloooooooooooowwwww and sometimes cannot even initiated an uload speedtest at i.a. www.speedtest.net.
As mentioned, I am aware that there are plenty of threads on this, but I am not aware of any that provides a solution.
Is there a solution or is my new Macbook nothing but crAplle?
Best regards,
n

My subscription is 10 Mbps downloadand 2 Mbps download. upload
I get that (10/2 Mbps) on all other devices, other than my new Macbook Pro.
On my new Macbook pro I get 10 Mbps download, but only from 0 to 25 Kbps upload.

Extreme slow upload speed in Dallas area

Hello
Something happened to my upload speed last Thursday, it has dropped considerably connecting to most servers making many sites very sluggish. I have the hardest time just attaching a file in Gmail and the gmail chat keeps saying 'unable to connect'. Using FTP for my work is almost impossible. It's takes me 5-10 tries to upload a file that's not even 50KB.
I've called Verizon tech support and went through different diagnostics and then they sent a new router, which still didn't help. Here's what I concluded so far:
It's not the router
It's not the computer since it happens on every machine
It's not the wiring since I can get good speed test connecting to some servers.
It's not the servers that i'm connecting to; everything works when i'm at work or on the phone.
I have 15/5, I've attached some speed test results.
Verizon's own speed test page even timed our during upload, which was stuck under 0.5 when it was about to finish.
Anyone else experiencing this? Verizon say my issue is currently with the engineers, but I have no idea how long that wait to be.
Thank you

Is there any Verizon representative that can escalate my issue?
Basically a tech came last Saturday and wasn't able to figure out what was wrong and left and closed my ticket. Whenever I call back now they're just telling me it's my computer, which is completely FALSE. All my 5-6 computer just doesn't happen to have slow upload speed of the sudden and require modification to RWin buffer as the suggested by the on-site tech. Verizon phone support bluntly told me they can't do anything further and would charge me for coming out again to replicate my issue.
Things the tech have already tried:
-Run Fios Optimizer multiple times on multiple computers.
-Replaced router
-Replaced ONT
-Rebooted PON card
Upload speed still sporadic, works perfect on some speedtests, but it's less than 0.5MB on many servers including Verizon's very own local speedtest. Gmail and any google site request is constantly slow. This site is slow and often times out. FTP to my own site is almost impossible if I want to upload a file that's bigger than 100kb.
I'm extremely frustrated.... There are reports of same exact issues in other thread, one seems to be fixed. Is there any way Verizon can look at that and apply it here?

Mavericks is extremely slow. NetFlix used to stream just fine until I loaded the "upgrade." What is the problem with this OS?

Mavericks is extremely slow. NetFlix used to stream just fine until I got the "upgrade." Everything is slower now, and I have plenty of RAM. Any insights?

Hello Sunny James,
I would be concerned too if my iMac was running slowly after upgrading to Mavericks. I found a couple of articles I recommend to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue.
I recommend reviewing this article first for possible causes of the slowness:

You can further isolate the issue by determining if it is only happening in your user account or if it is happening system-wide:

Extremely slow download speeds and internet browsing on Macbook pro

I recently got a 13"" macbook pro. System config - Maverick OS/i7 dual core/8GB RAM/750 GB HDD, Almost 690GB of free space available. I am expriencing extremely slow download and internet browsing speed. I have to wait for almost 10-12 seconds for normal sites to download. The app updates and downloads are painstakingly slow.
The internet speeds are working perfectly fine on my Windows Laptop, and even on my mobile phones. So, the there's no issue of network. Also, I have cleared safari cache etc, just to be sure. But nothing's really helping.
Can any one help me here.
Thanks !

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Extremely Slow Render Speed - GoPro and Twixtor

Hello!
I am new to the forums, and slightly new to AE, please don't yell at me if there's a similar thread around, I had a look, but nothing really suited my exact case.
I've shot footage on my GoPro Hero 3+ Black, at 720p, 100fps.
I've applied Twixtor to the individual parts required, the rest is at standard speed.
I come across two main problems, one: The live preview is in really terrible quality, and is practically unusable due to its choppiness and blurriness.
Two, being the render time. I tried a two minute video with about 10 seconds worth of slow mo with Twixtor. This took 9 hours to render to AVI. I tried again with WMV, same deal.
I tried an even shorter clip (just straight 5 seconds of slowmo), this was a shorter render time, but still far too long to be practical.
I'm using AE CS6, running Win 8.1, 2.4gHZ i5, 8GB DDR3, and a 2GB GForce Graphics card.
I've tried tweaking the preferences for multiple core utilization etc etc, still no bonus.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is it always meant to be this slow?
Cheers,
Dan

Depending on the settings Twixtor can be extremely slow. If you have a lot of rolling shutter artifacts or motion blur in your original video you can also get terrible artifacts. Here's an important thing. MP rendering most likely will not work with Twixtor or any temporal effects so turn it off. The only way to know if your machine is behaving normally is to look at the shot and do some testing. Some shots just require a lot of tweaking to significantly slow down.
If you shot at 100 fps and you want to playback in slow motion then the easiest way, and the best way to start is to go to Footage Interpretation and set the frame rate of your footage to 29.97 or 24 or what ever your deliverable product will be, then drop the footage in a new comp with the same frame rate. No Twixtor required.
Now if you want to slow things down more or speed them up you are working from a much better place and the whole process will be much easier and faster to render. Twitter will also work better.

Extremely slow DSL speeds. Up speed higher than Down speed. Please help.

I just purchased the 1.1 - 3.0Mbps hi-speed DSL package.
Verizon speed test shows .17Mbps down and .536Mbps up. This is obviously curious for two reasons: 1) the incredibly slow down speed, and 2) the down speed being slower than the up speed.
Curiously, speedtest.net shows different results:
2.45Mbps down, .55Mbps up
What could this mean? Transceiver data follows.

OK. It seems as though you're suffering from what some people call "Juniperitus." If you're on a Remote DSLAM that uses Alcatel Litespan equipment (Litespan 2000 for example) along with being connected to a Juniper Networks ERX edge router, there tends to be an incompatibility between the two pieces of equipment that causes TCP connections and pretty much any other form of transfer to see artificial packet loss, which results in transmission. This results in inefficiency in every transfer, so what you're seeing is simply a result of all of this. In the past when Verizon first installed Litespan, they were using older Redback Networks edge routers, which did not create such problems. I'm on a Litespan and happen to still be on a Redback in my area (one of remaining ones still in operation in my area) and I get my max line speed with no issue. It's unfortunate that these actually perform better despite the Junipers being far better edge routers in terms of capacity.
I know someone who should be able to get this fixed for you. I'll send you a Private Message.

Extremely slow broadband speed recently

Hi,
I've searched the forums for similar problems, and I'm not the only one who's had this particular one by the looks of it. I've been with BT Broadband for a good year, with no real problems and a pretty consistent downstream speed of around 750kbps (unusable by some peoples standards, but was fine for me) and IP profile to match.
Since about 2 weeks ago this has dropped considerably, to the point where my Homehub will now only sync to around 256kbps, sometimes 300 odd, and obviously this has made the internet pretty miserable to use.
My IP profile is no doubt at the bottom on 135kbps now due to the fact that I've had to try and reset the modem occasionaly to try and get an improvement in Downstream connection, but as far as I can gather from reading replies on this forum, there is no point in leaving the modem connected at 256 downstream or thats as high as my IP profile is going to rise, no matter how many days it's left on.
We've been through all the "connect to master/test socket" and replacing filters, and nothing has changed within the house, so I can't see why the downstream has suddenly decided to plummet after months of working well. I have noticed the noise margin on the router stats page is being a bit erratic (used to be stable at 6db downstream before, now flits between 6 and 13, both down and up).
We've obviously called BT on numerous occasions, with no success or help other than suggesting another engineer visit (last one said there was no problems, other than the fact that he couldn't believe we were happy with 0.5mb speeds ). So any ideas? I know mods on here have been able to solve siimilar problems before, so I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out with this. I'll post router stats and speedtest below, but bear in mind the modem has been restarted again today so connection time and IP profile are no doubt affected by that.

Extremely slow wifi speeds after Yosemite install

I "upgraded" to Yosemite and now my wifi speeds on this machine (iMAC) are extremely slow, like crawling. Was fine this morning before update. All other devices in the house (iphones, ipad, macbook pro) are all running normal fast speeds. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Missing Mavericks already.

I saw a big (huge) change in wifi speeds after Yosemite upgrade, it was more noticeable the farther away from the router I was. I moved closer to the Router and speed was back to normal.
You can check your connection by pressing at the same time alt(option) and the wifi icon (at top of menu bar), a drop down list will show the connection's stats, look for TX Rate towards the bottom. After upgrade my TX Rate dropped to 5 Mbps! I moved closer to the Router, and TX Rate improved to 146 Mbps, Safari was browsing at normal speeds again.
I read other discussions, found a suggestion to rename my location, in System Preferences - Network - WiFi, at top of panel Location, mine was named Automatic (the default). As suggested, I clicked on the arrows, selected edit, and renamed the location, name it anything you like... I restarted the computer, and luckily enough my TX Rate at the farthest location from Router improved from 5Mbps to 39 Mbps. Still slower than before, never saw it below 80's. Don't know if the restart or the change of location name did the trick, maybe it was that Yosemite needed time to adjust to its new environment, regardless, there was some improvement.
I think there is an issue with Yosemite and WiFi that causes the TX Rate to drop more than with Mavericks as the distance from Router increases. Does not sound logical, but that is what the connection stats are saying!
