How to improve connection speed?

I recently converted to AT&T Uverse, and it's at a 6 rate speed. But my connection acts awfully slow.
I don't have a full memory; I seem to be using only 40% of my hard drive memory!
Any notion of why it's slow here? Suggestions for things to check into?
BEST!

Connection speed is dictated by your ISP, I would STRONGLY recommend contacting AT&T and letting them know what your poblem is. How much RAM and HD space on your computer has absolutely no bearing on the Internet connection speed.
Good luck.

    House??
    Need to spell this out a bit more..
    But speed via 2.4ghz to the TC is restricted by Apple to max 130mbps link speed.. much slower actual transfer.. latest TC and laptops can do 450mbps on 5ghz but you need to be up close.. so place the TC near the device using it.. and force 5ghz connection by using a different name for 5ghz network.

  • How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.

    My brother works with massive Excel spreadsheets and needs to speed them up. Gigabytes in size and often with a million rows and many sheets within the workbook. He's already refined the sheets to take advantage of Excel's multi-thread recalculation and
    seen significant improvements, but he's hit a stumbling block. He uses extensive VBA code to aid clarity, but the VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times. Some functions are trivial (e.g. conversion
    functions) and just for clarity and easily unwound (at the expense of clarity), some could be unwound but that would make the spreadsheets much more complex, and others could not be unwound. 
    He's aware of http://www.analystcave.com/excel-vba-multithreading-tool/ and similar tools but they don't help as the granularity is insufficiently fine. 
    So what can he do? A search shows requests for multi-threaded VBA going back over a decade.

    Hi,
    >> The VB engine is single-threaded, and these relatively simple functions can be called millions of times.
    The Office Object Model is
    Single-Threaded Apartments, if the performance bottleneck is the Excel Object Model operation, the multiple-thread will not improve the performance significantly.
    >> How to improve spreadsheet speed when single-threaded VBA is the bottleneck.
    The performance optimization should be based on the business. Since I’m not familiar with your business, so I can only give you some general suggestions from the technical perspective. According to your description, the size of the spreadsheet had reached
    Gigabytes and data volume is about 1 million rows. If so, I will suggest you storing the data to SQL Server and then use the analysis tools (e.g. Power Pivot).
    Create a memory-efficient Data Model using Excel 2013
    and the Power Pivot add-in
    As
    ryguy72 suggested, you can also leverage some other third party data processing tool
    according to your business requirement.

  • How To Increase Connection Speed

    My IP profile has been steady on 2.5 Mbps from a connection speed of 2.9 Mbps for months. After a recent power outage, my connection speed has fallen to 2.78 Mbps and my IP profile has gone down to 2 Mbps. If my IP profile was going to go back up I would have expected it to have done so by now.
    Is there any way to push my connection speed back up to around 2.9 Mbps so my IP profile will return to the previous value of 2.5 Mbps.
    Thank you.

    need some information first so please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • How to tell connection speed?

    Seems like my iPad sometimes connects up as N and sometimes as G speeds. I can run one of the Internet speed apps to tell but it seems like there should be an easier way to tell. Any one know?

    I have a UK Virgin cable broadband service that is advertised as 50MB, it actually caps out around 34-38MB average, they gave me a free Netgear Draft N router but the throughput performance of that thing was worse than my 802.11G Airport Express and I run two Mac Pros and Powerbook two iPhones and a new iPad of that.
    As I said Draft N is LARGELY Hype unless you are moving larger amounts of data on your LOCAL network.
    Fact is very few internet services, a few cable providers yes (AT a Premium Cost ) but virtually no ADSL lines can deliver internet connection speeds consistently over 40MB yet.
    And I do Know that Korea and an Eastern European nation have invested heavily on fibre so that really high speed services can be delivered but these are NOT typical of the likes of the UK US and much of northern Europe that continues to deliver the internet over copper telephone lines and will do for some years ahead.

    There's also iGetter: http://www.igetter.net
    You may also want to look on how to optimize your network settings to achieve an overall networking improvement (not just "download speed")
    There are 2 utilities that do this for you:

  • How to improve upload speeds with new Airport Extreme?

    Hi!
    Just plugged in a new Airport Extreme to replace a BT HomeHub 3.0.  The wi-fi download speeds have generally increased over a wider range in the house but the wi-fi upload speeds have dropped to under 1Mbps.
    Speeds to laptop linked via ethernet appear fine (both up & download).
    Initially thought that I may have messed-up the set-up but the fact that the wired connection works fine makes me think this is something to do with the Airport settings - a scary thought as I don't really know much about this stuff.
    As range was really the reason for getting the AP Extreme I'm contemplating plugging the HomeHub back in and just trying to use the AP to extend the old HHub system rather than setting up a new AP system...
    Any suggestions would be most gratefully received!
    Thanks

    ... just a quick note to say that the appears to be resolved after a long telephone call to apple service dept (very patient - very helpful).
    In my naivety I had attempted to revert back to using the homehub (3.0) router and connecting the APExtreme into one of the Ethernet LAN ports but this didn't work!  So called the apple helpline & we went back to basics until it worked.  One point to note that may help anyone finding themselves in a similar position...
    I had followed the instruction to reset the APEBS depressing the button first whilst powered then without power and during the unit being reconnected to power supply thinking tha this would do a full restore to factory defaults (effectively undoing all the messing- around I may have done flounderinng through the settings) but it was only when I was directed to do a full reset through the Airport Utility settings [Edit\Advanced\Restore Defaults] that this worked (for me).
    Download and upload speeds are now up to 93% of advertised speeds wired, & wireless with some fluctuations which appear to be network delivery related rather than anything to do with the APEBS.  It's working well with an APExpress which had been struggling (intermittentlyout of range) which is connected to stereo and Apple TV.
    By the way - thanks to other posts regarding importance of not connecting an audio out cable to phono sockets on the stereo (horrible sound quality) using a redundant CD channel it works great.
    All-in-all, very happy with it so far.

  • How to improve the speed of creating multiple strings from a char[]?

    Hi,
    I have a char[] and I want to create multiple Strings from the contents of this char[] at various offsets and of various lengths, without having to reallocate memory (my char[] is several tens of megabytes large). And the following function (from java/lang/String.java) would be perfect apart from the fact that it was designed so that only package-private classes may benefit from the speed improvements it offers:
        // Package private constructor which shares value array for speed.
        String(int offset, int count, char value[]) {
         this.value = value;
         this.offset = offset;
         this.count = count;
        }My first thought was to override the String class. But java.lang.String is final, so no good there. Plus it was a really bad idea to start with.
    My second thought was to make a java.lang.FastString which would then be package private, and could access the string's constructor, create a new string and then return it (thought I was real clever here) but no, apparently you cannot create a class within the package java.lang. Some sort of security issue.
    I am just wondering first if there is an easy way of forcing the compiler to obey me, or forcing it to allow me to access a package private constructer from outside the package. Either that, or some sort of security overrider, somehow.

    My laptop can create and garbage collect 10,000,000 Strings per second from char[] "hello world". That creates about 200 MB of strings per second (char = 2B). Test program below.
    A char[] "tens of megabytes large" shouldn't take too large a fraction of a second to convert to a bunch of Strings. Except, say, if the computer is memory-starved and swapping to disk. What kind of times do you get? Is it at all possible that there is something else slowing things down?
    using (literally) millions of charAt()'s would be
    suicide (code-wise) for me and my program."java -server" gives me 600,000,000 charAt()'s per second (actually more, but I put in some addition to prevent Hotspot from optimizing everything away). Test program below. A million calls would be 1.7 milliseconds. Using char[n] instead of charAt(n) is faster by a factor of less than 2. Are you sure millions of charAt()'s is a huge problem?
    public class t1
        public static void main(String args[])
         char hello[] = "hello world".toCharArray();
         for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
             long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
             for (int m = 0; m < 1000 * 1000; m++) {
              String s1 = new String(hello);
              String s2 = new String(hello);
              String s3 = new String(hello);
              String s4 = new String(hello);
              String s5 = new String(hello);
             long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
             System.out.println("time " + (end - start) + " ms");
    public class t2
        static int global;
        public static void main(String args[])
         String hello = "hello world";
         for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
             long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
             for (int m = 0; m < 10 * 1000 * 1000; m++) {
              global +=
                  hello.charAt(0) + hello.charAt(1) + hello.charAt(2) +
                  hello.charAt(3) + hello.charAt(4) + hello.charAt(5) +
                  hello.charAt(6) + hello.charAt(7) + hello.charAt(8) +
                  hello.charAt(9);
              global +=
                  hello.charAt(0) + hello.charAt(1) + hello.charAt(2) +
                  hello.charAt(3) + hello.charAt(4) + hello.charAt(5) +

  • How to improve speed of data acquisition? Help needed urgently.

    I want to convert analog signals to digital signals and simultaneously perform some search on the data acquired and this whole process has to be done continuously for few hours.
    So I tried writing two programs in Matlab, one acquires the analog data and converts it to digital and saves the data in small chunks on hard disk (like file1, file2, file3,...) continuously. The other program performs the search operation in those chunks of data continuously. I run both the programs at a time by opening two mat lab windows.
    But the problem Iam facing is that the data acquisition is slow. As a result I get an error message in the second program saying that
    "??? Error using ==> load
    Unable to read file file4.mat: No such file or directory."
    Iam unable to synchronize the two programs. I cannot use timers in search program because I cannot add any delays.
    Iam using a NI PCI-6036E ,16 Bit Resolution ,200 KS/s Sampling Rate A/D board.
    Should I switch to some other series such as M series having sampling rate of the order MS/s?
    Can anyone please tell me how to improve the speed of data acquisition?
    Thanks.

    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the issue you are describing. If a movie from the iTunes Store supports multiple languages, they can usually be changed as outlined in the following article:

    If this is not possible and no changes have been made to the country settings for the iTunes Store, you may want to try redownloading the movie (if it is still available):

    Hi Raj,
      How is your direct access datasource built ?  Is this a standard datasource or generic datasource on any view/table/function module. This strengthens my second point.
    Suppose you built a virtual cube on direct access datasource built  on AUFK table with Order as primary key (Order master data). when you use Order as selection on query built on this virtual cube then it retrievies the data faster than firing the query on other selections.
    If your selections are different. You can possibly create a secondary index on the table with selections used in query.

  • Airport Extreme runs slow on iMac desktop but twice as fast on MacBook Pro - how can I improve upload speed on iMac?

    I have already done a complete clean of the iMac, to no avail. Have read the recommendations for adjusting chaneels, etc and I've done that too. The iMac has clear line of sight and is 20 feet away distance from Airport Extreme. My MacBook Pro runs very fast at 68 download speed off this same airport unit even when on a different floor, near phones and typical interference, etc. the iMac runs only at about 20 at best. Any ideas for how to improve this? I would need specific step-by-steps since I am clearly not an expert.

    The Airport Extreme model number is A1301. I am unsure how to locate the Radio Mode setting.... can you advise?
    Ok you have a 3rd generation 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) that is capable of providing a simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi networks. By default, the Radio Mode is set to "Automatic." Which means that it will support 802.11b/g/n wireless clients on the 2.4 GHz band and 802.11a/n clients on the 5 GHz band.
    Your wife's iMac, on the other hand, only supports wireless as a 802.11b/g client. That means it is only capable of connecting with a maximum bandwidth (speed) of 54 Mbps.
    Any time a non-802.11n client connects to a 802.11n network, it basically "slows down" that network for other 802.11n clients like your MacBook Pro. The only option I see at this time to improve bandwidth for both your wife's and your Macs is to consider getting a wireless 802.11n USB adapter for the iMac. A number of vendors sell these. One of them is Other World Computing (OWC). They are inexpensive and should dramatically improve the bandwidth performance for her iMac.

    I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
    Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
    How do I rectify
    Paul

    you can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
    Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
    But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
    Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
    The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port.

  • How do I connect my drive to iMac for best transfer speeds using an adapter

    Hi,
    My question is: which port on my "old" LaCie hard drive should I use to connect to my iMac for optimum speed transfer? Should I use an adapter?
    I am a pro music producer/songwriter & sound designer. I use large audio files in my AVID DAW Pro Tools 11 application both to read and write constantly.
    For this I have dedicated hard drives such as a 6TB Promise Peagasus with Thunderbolt 1. But it's starting to run a little slow due to all the information residing only on this 1 unit.
    I want to spread out my audio files on other hard drives as well. The one I MAYBE want to use, is a LaCie hard drive I have had for a couple of years.
    Important: I only have 1 Thunderbolt port left to use on my iMac and 1 Ethernet port.
    So do I need an adapter and what would be the speed then?
    My question is how do I connect it for optimum speed transfer?
    It is a LaCie D2 Quadra V2 E hard disk with 32mb cache.
    It has:
    1 FW 400,
    2 FW 800,
    1 High-Speed USB 2.0,
    1 eSATA 3Gb/s.
    I have an iMac 27" Mid 2011, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 running OS X 10.9.4.
    I look forward to your replies.
    Kind regards,
    Michael

    Thanks. Yes it is nice. Sounds interesting with your G force. I think I did put the Raid to 5, but cannot really remember. All I know is that when I did use Raid 5, I agreed to use 1 of the 6TB for some backup or security stuff that it takes care of on it's own. I thought it sounded good and safe when I installed it.
    Am unsure how to check it.
    I just read about the Raid block size which can be set to higher than my 32k in the Disk Doctor app to work faster with large amounts of continues data transfers. But it means that I should perform a new Raid. Not happy at all about this as I am very careful about my audio files.
    Yes, I'll definitely go for the Thunderbolt/FireWire adaptor!
