Internet connection very slow - ISP blames my computer...

Greetings,
I have DSL connection that has been running very very slow... dialup slow... I use airport, so I unplugged it and connected the ethernet cable directly to the comp - with no results.
I called my ISP, they tested the modem speed, reset the modem & went through all the settings - with no results. The modem speed is fine, so they say the problem is with my powerbook. I've rebooted the computer numerous times, also I recently cleaned up my hard drive (which has been full for months) and I currently have 14gb of free space.
What else can I do? Are there any diagnostic utilities/etc you can recommend?
Thank you in advance for all your help.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

  • Adobe Photoshop CC2014 internet connection very slow

    Hi,
    I'm developing an Adobe Photoshop HTML5 (website) extension. This is working fine in Photoshop CC, but is very slow in CC2014.
    Today I've installed an update for Photoshop CC2014 and I was presented with an 'introduction' screen, loaded from the web.
    This had the same slowness, indicating my extension is not at fault.
    The regular functionality of Photoshop has a normal speed, and I'm working on a recent computer with Win 7 64bit.
    I've recorded a video showing how slow it really is (and proof that my internet connection has sufficient speed)

    How can I solve this?
    Thanks!

  • Internet Connection very slow WRT160N v3

    I had my an IT person install a brand new WRT160N router.  I also installed a new HP wireless printer/scanner/fax/printer. I am now noticing that the internet connection is very slow. Taking about 4 minutes to download any link or site I visit. I have talked to charter today and they are telling me my signal strength is great - I have highest speed they offer (20). What am I not doing right? Do i need to check this router or a connection? - Allison

    Physical connection should be like from modem to the router on internet port and from computer to the routrer on ethernet port 1.
    Try to readjust the wireless settings on your router....
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...

    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...

  • Wireless Internet connection very slow

    The wireless connection has gotten very slow. I have restarted the modem but that has not improved the connection. I am about to restart the TC and see if that improves the connection. What is the best way to shut the TC down and restart it? The only way I know is to unplug for 15 seconds and then put the plug back in.
    Thanks

    Try the following ...
    o Power-down the modem, Time Capsule (TC), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
    o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Plug-in the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s).

  • Local mac-to-mac transfers goes through the internet connection (very slow)

    Transfering files from my iMac to my MacBook Air (or the opposite way) over my local Time Capsule wireless network is extremely slow. I connect to my MacBook Air using my local username account on that machine (which is the same as on the iMac). When I click on the connected MacBook Air again (under shared in Finder’s left column) it says I'm connected as [email protected] (my MobileMe address). Transfers then goes with around 50KB/s which is the same as my outbound capacity on my internet connection. If I disconnect the internet from the Time Capsule I get transfers around 2.2MB/s.
    I can’t actually log in as a local user on my other local machine. It goes through the internet no matter how I log in. Back To My Mac is even turned off on both machine.
    How can I fix this?

    You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
    Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

  • How to clear cookies, wireless internet connection very slow

    My ethernet speed is very good, but my wireless speed is getting very slow.  I wanted to clear my cookies, not sure how to do that and would that help?

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
              PHY Mode
              Channel
              Security
              Signal/Noise or RSSI
              Transmit (or Tx) Rate
    Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
    Now hold down the option key again and select
               ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
    Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

  • Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

    Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

    I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
    Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
    Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
    So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
    Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

  • Internet is very slow but says i have a good connection ?

    My internet is very slow but yet i have a good connection please help

    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.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
    What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    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?

  • Firewall/VPN Model-SG300 Cyberguard after configuration internet working very slow....please help me...

    my lease ling directly in this device.
    please help me....
    Thanks,

    Hi Madhukar,
    It seems that it is not a hyper-v issue .
    For troubleshooting this please use your computer to access internet directly (without firewall ).
    If it works well , you may go over the configuration of the firewall .
    Also you can contact the hardware vendor .
    Best Regards

  • "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow"

    I have both a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a new Samsung Tab 3.   After a recent software upgrade, I was having connectivity issues to wireless routers.   The message I got when connecting to a secure wireless network was "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow".   I determined that I had no issues with either my phone or tablet on either an unsecure router (WiFi hotspot), or with any older router that broadcast WPA2 personal with either aes OR tkip security.   I do have a problem with connecting to any new router that broadcasts BOTH aes and tkip at the same time.   When I change the routers under my control to broadcast only aes or tkip, then I can immediately connect both my phone and tablet to the router.   There are obviously a lot of routers over which I have no control, so this needs to be fixed.  I am pretty sure that there is a problem with the latest Android software upgrade in this regard

    I am having the same problem with my Galaxy 3S since the upgrade. Have searched for settings, etc. but haven't found anything I can control. My home network is getting 54.4 down and 5.7 up! Have had this issue nearly everywhere I am connected.
    I think it needs a fix - noticed today that Verizon has doubled my DATA for free. May need it if this continues.

    It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
    You can get it here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    You can download the latest version from here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
    Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?
