Getting slow LTE speeds on 5s

I will notice I'm getting really slow LTE speeds when streaming music on my iphone 5s because rdio, pandora, itunes radio and sirius xm will pause for long periods of time. The short remedy to this is me having to turn on/off airplane mode and it will work as normal for about 10-15 minutes before going really slow again.
Does anyone think this is the LTE on my phone having the issue? I have Verizon with unlimited data.

Hello there dmaynard83,
It sounds like your LTE speed is lower than expected, but seems ok for a bit if you toggle Airplane mode on then off. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve issues with the cellular data network:
iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
Restart your iPhone.
Make sure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update: Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update: Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Im getting slower Connection speeds

Im getting slower connection speeds then what i ordered i got the 15mps and i only get 10 ?

It looks like you're right at the edge of the 10Mbps service limit for your copper line, as your margins are low and the line speed is incorrect.
Do you have access to a NID? If so, can you plug your modem into your NID's test jack and pull up the new statistics it shows? The NID can often times be found outside on the side/rear of your home, near your electrical panel/meter or on a pole near the street (uncommon for the last one).

Slow LTE speeds in the LA and greater LA area?

Hi guys. So I live in South Pasadena, CA, and for the past week or so I've noticed that the LTE speed on my phone has slowed than tremendously. Whereas before I would have no problem downloading apps, watching Youtube videos, streaming music on Pandora and Rhapsody, now I can barely get these services. At times, videos load, and at other times, they don't load at all. Or, I'm in the middle of watching a video and/or listening to a song, and it stops. I've tried turning the phone off and on, taking out the SIM card and putting it back, wiping the phone completely, making sure that it is set to "LTE mode," and this has not done the trick. Oh, and I have an iPhone 5s, 32GB. I'm updated to IOS 7.1.2. I have even tried driving around to other areas, like Orange County, and my phone still has this problem. When I connect my phone to WiFi, no problem. But when I switch back to Verizon's network, I get the problem mentioned. I was wondering if anyone on here who lives in LA, or the greater LA area, has noticed this. I took my phone to the Apple store today, and the guy brought out another iPhone 5s, and the network was slow on this phone as well. When he showed me his iPhone 5s (he had ATT as his carrier, however), no problem. So I don't know if anyone has reported this, or if it is just my phone. I called Verizon customer service two nights ago, and the rep told me that there were no outages, and that no one else has complained of this. So I would like to know if there is anyone out there who is also experiencing this problem with their LTE speeds. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is happening to me too. About two weeks ago LTE just dropped off. Here's the results of my speed tests this week:
Mon 8/18 - 0.46 Down, 5.89 Up (culver city)
Mon 8/18 - 0.15 Down, 1.24 Up (LAX)
Tue 8/19 - 0.18 Down, 6.75 Up (culver city)
Tue 8/19 - 0.32 Down, 7.25 Up (LAX)
Wed 8/20 - 1.2 Down, 8.76 Up (culver city)
Wed 8/20 - 0.54 Down, 4.87 Up (LAX)
Thu 8/21 - 0.37 Down, 7.27 Up (culver city)
I'm so glad I found this thread because customer service immediately thinks its my phone. They told me to clear my browser history, what the hell?? Where can I go to get a serious answer?
I have an iPhone5 running iOS 6.1.4. My wife is on an iPhone5s running iOS 7.1.2 and she is experiencing the same issues.

Slow LTE speeds after update to ios 8.1

I have a iphone 5s on T-Mobile with unlimites LTE and I updated from 8.0.2 to 8.1 and now i have HORRIBLE! Lte speeds. And its every where i go i tried reseting the network settings i even reset the phone like new and nothing. I tried to downgrade back to ios 8.0.2 but apple closed the signing window so now im stuck on this ****** ios version. Who knows hiw long till another update if anyone knows how to downgrade or a way around this email me [email protected]

You need to be patient. There is no need to post again within minutes of the first post. Try force closing the App Store app and then reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Getting slow wifi speeds on wireless router connected to the same LAN

I have a main router/firewall with two wireless routers(linksys E2500 and TP link) connected to it.I want to configure them to all be on the same LAN (192.168.19.0) so i experimented with the TP link first by removing the ethernet cable from the WAN port and inserting it in the LAN port then I disabled DHCP and it worked perfectly. The only downside is that i am getting slower speeds on the TP link compared to the linksys which is still on the 192.168.1.0 network.Ethernet also works fine though i've observed that the TPlink name displays on the ethernet NIC. Can the speed be increased one way or the other or i have to change my setup?

I get slow *** tranzfer speeds over da Ethernet. Why dis?

Hello, I have a pc running windows 8.1 and a Mac Pro (2006 edition) that are on the same router (both via ethernet). I have them both connected to each other using their respective "connect to another computer" features, and thus can access each other's hard drives. With that said, when I transfer data from one to the other (say, from the Mac to the PC), it results in slow *** transfer speeds (between 4 and 10 MB/s max). Why? (I have accounted for the usual-suspect variables, such as hard drives, and ethernet cables by using different hard drives and ethernet cables.) it has been at 3 MB/s for about 40 minutes now. Why?

Each computer should be wired to your Gigabit Ethernet capable SWITCH or Router. If you do not have a Gigabit Ethernet capable SWITCH or your Router ports are slower than Gigabit speed, Apple sells a five-port Gigabit Ethernet SWITCH in the Apple online store for about US$55.
Computer-to-Computer File transfers are handled directly by the SWITCH, they do not need to use the Router function.
Gigabit Ethernet requires cables with all 8 wires present, and Power-over-Ethernet is not allowed on those cables.

Slow LTE Speeds in Columbus/Central Ohio

I have been experiencing consistent slow speeds in the Central Ohio area lately. It is very frustrating as often the speeds are slower than AT&T & T-Mobile's 3g networks. Yes, I have reset my phone's SIM card many times. Yes, this is the typical speed I experience. Specifically, I am currently in 43219 and have also experienced slow speeds in 43081, 43054, 43021 and other zip codes as well.

How to get slow playback speed with video

Hi. Newbie to the forums. hope you can help.
Can I put a control in flash that allows users to alter the
playback speed of a video clip? I am making a tutorial (with sound)
and I want the students to be able to run the video in slow motion
and then gradually increase the speed as they become more
confident.
Any ideas?
Regards
Matthew

Thanks. I checked out the web site, and although it only refers to FCP, I assume "Film Effects" is compatible with FCE HD v3 as well.
I appreciate the info.

Advice needed about slow broadband speed

Hi there,
I was wondering if you could help me. I live in the countryside and wouldn't you guess it, I get slow internet speeds. Obviously I don't expect superfast broadband but I just want to see if there is any other reason to my slow speeds other then my distance from the exchange (which I believe is 4.3Km, a long distance I know).
I am posting my router statistics (BT HomeHub 3) and the BT Wholesale Performance test report. Essentially I am curious whether old wiring or noise on the line is playing an issue. I'm certainly no expert but my home is quite old and I'm not sure when the wiring was installed so I'd really appreciate any advice. I've also just emailed BT Customer support about resetting the IP Profile as it has been extremely slow ever since the outages due to last weeks weather playing havoc. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Nick

Slower download speeds from Arch

Hello,
I am getting slower download speeds from Arch Linux than from my other distros. I have googled and applied the following "fixes" but they don't improve the download speed.
1. I shut off ipv6:
# /etc/modprobe.conf
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
2. I shut off ipv6 in firefox.
3. Here's my /etc/rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng iptables dhcpcd network netfs portmap ntp crond alsa gpm kdm cpufreq)
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
4. Here's Arch compared with Zenwalk:
Arch vs Zenwalk download and upload speeds by
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Arch 17719 kbs down 2049 kbs up
Zenwalk 21537 kbs down 2779 kbs up
5. Ping tests are equal:
Arch: 64 bytes from 64.233.167.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=242 time=41.2 ms
Zenwalk: 64 bytes from py-in-f99.google.com (64.233.167.99): icmp_seq=34
ttl=242 time=40.5 ms
6. I also tried a different browser, and tried stopping iptables.
Can anyone help?

Thank You,
I was just about to ask about kernel modules/drivers. forcedeth is the nic driver, I think. But i have no idea how to correct something that's compiled in. I will stay with what I have for now. until I learn somemore. I like Arch Linux and plan to stay with it.

Slow Wifi speed when transfering data from USB drive?

Hello guys,
Am I the only one to get slow WiFi speed when transfering data from USB disks or keys?
This is the new Mac Mini July 2011 (Macmini5,2)
Intel Core i7, 2.7 Ghz
8 Go 1333 MHz DDR3
Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A2061)
Thanks
Nicolas.

Hello again,
I'm also having this issue when using a Bluetooth Magic Mouse when downloading file. Is it a problem with the firmware or the BUS?
Anyone have the same issue?
Thanks
Nicolas.

IOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow.

iOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow compared to iOS6. This was proven with Safari and using speed test app.

I have exactly the same problem symptom ever since installing iOS7. Toggling the FaceTime or the LTE settings alleviated the problem until I installed the latest version on IOS (7.0.4- 11B554a). Now the bug is permanent, a Network Reset will not work anymore, a System Reset will work only for the first execution of Speedtest.
Looks like the network software is throttling LTE speed to the minimum (.50 Mbps) up/download speed no matter what. Now unlimited Data means nothing, maybe AT&T wants me to go to Verizon or Tmobile.
I reported this problem to AT&T Sept 26 when I first installed IOS7, they told me there was no problem really that I needed to wait for the LTE network congestion to go away...? Since I found a circumvention by toggling LTE I did not pursued the problem...
After reporting the problem again this morning, they sent me to the AT&T store to change the SIM card.... I will try this and report back if it fixes the problem... Although I doubt it will fix anything but burn and extra hour of my day. The AT&T rep said that if the new SIM card doesn't fix the problem I need to go to Apple for them to give me a new Iphone....???? I guess there are many iPhones gone bad after installing IOS7 (sarcasm).
If you have this same problem, please post here so that I am able to get back to AT&T with some leverage to get them to remove the choking of LTE. Basically, if everyone accepts the new low speeds, then, unlimited data is no longer a problem for this phone company.

Very Slow LTE download Speeds..

Hello all..I live in Bridgeport Connecticut, and i own a Galaxy nexus 4G LTE...I'm curious as to why i get such slow download speeds with my Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus Download speeds becomes extremely apparent compared to My sisters Iphone 5 ..I did 15 speed tests on both device The Galaxy Nexus and the Iphone 5.The iPhone got between 12-16 MBPS..My nexus got as low as 1.6 MBPS, and seemed to average around 2.4 MBPS..the highest was 3.9 MBPS. I used the speedtest.net android app and the servers etc were all the same..The nexus runs the stock jellybean firmware.
I love the nexus. However, i feel cheated that the iphone 5 gets about 500-600% higher download speeds..I think something software wise if holding the nexus back from acheive true LTE speeds available in this area.

Looking at forums today to see if this was reported and if there is a remedy. I share tino4342's problem and I live clear across the country in Snohomish, Washington. At a given spot in my home, my Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 (locked) gets 2 mbps download speed while a Verizon iPhone 5 sitting next to my GN gets around 12 mbps, both tested using speedtest.net. In various other spots around town, the iPhone 5 download speed is at least 5 times faster than the Galaxy Nexus (both on Verizon).
This is absolutely not cool. I chatted with Verizon chat service and they said the LTE antenna on iPhone 5 was better. That has to be the biggest bogus point I've heard since the protocols they use should be the same and yield the same output. It has to be the placement of LTE Antenna in the Galaxy Nexus which is blocking the signal. I think Verizon should come up with some sort of remedy/partial refund for selling LTE phone that isn't! or if the hardware is faulty, they need to own up to it and replace it. Looking forward to a Verizon response on this issue.

Upgraded to ADSL2 now get slower speeds than befor...

Hello
Well last Tuesday my line was upgraded to the 20mb ADSL2 and I was looking forward to some increase in bandwidth (even though before the upgrade my line was pumping 7mb most of the time which I was happy with)
Now for some reason I am getting slower speeds than before I upgraded. Something tells me I should not have bothered with the amount of effort it took to get the upgrade.
I cant understand why my DL is saying 3000+ and before upgrade it was reading 7500+
I have not reset my hub manually all disconnections have been done automatic.

My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
Is there certain times of the day when you notice the Internet is slow?
If so, that's probably the reason.
Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
That will slow your connection, too!
Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
Might be time from a newer, faster router?
