Internet Speed Assistance

I have noticed btw the hours of 11:30 pm and 1:00am, give or take, my connection drops to a standstill or dial up like speeds.  There are also times in the late afternoon I have notice the same slowdown.  I have a new ONT and router, and this has not fixed the issue.  It does not matter whether I am wired or wireless, or using a Mac or a PC.  Restarting or rebooting the router do not resolve it. When I do a diagnostic via my Mac, it tells me I am connected to network. I also have nothing but green lights on the router.
In my last call to tech support, it was suggested that interference was the problem (neighbor signal, etc.)  and I should try to get another antenna for the router to boost the signal, and/or get an amplifier.  (I imagine I could get either at Radio Shack.)  If the problem were just the wireless I could understand, but again, it happens when I am hard wired.  I do not have a 2.4 mhz cordless phone near the router, though the router is placed near our TV.  I don't think this would account for the snail like slowness especially when I am noticing the slowness @ particular times during the day.  It was also suggested that my spitter or the coax cable could be the issue, but again, I doubt it b/c as I type this now, I am not having issues with speed. Has anyone experienced this?
I am so far happy with my TV and phone experience, now that Vezion resolved some initial issues, but the internet problem is frustrating.  I never had such issues with Comcast; though I don't want to go back to them for a number of reasons. It's already bad enough I am tied to the Vz router and wireless b or g speed. An yes, I am aware there are ways to use one's own routers, but I like being able to get the guide, widgets, etc b/c I have FIOS TV.  I do hope that Verizon moves away from their router at some point and like Comcast, allows the STB's to receive the guide, VOD, etc. info so that customers can use their own routers.
Okay, that rant aside, TIA for any help on my slowness issue.

Verizons web site is always slow....cant go by it. But if your speed is always slow, the first thing to do is get a baseline to see exactly what we are working with.
Go to www.speedtest.net  or www.speakeasy.net/speedtest  and run a test to a server near you and get a reading of what the speeds are like.
Then if you are running Windows XP try optimizing your settings by going Here
Try rebooting the computer and router
Check for the number of processes running on the computer and the amount of ram. If you have, say...more than 70 processes or less than 512mb of ram these may be slowing the computer down
Then if still slow, post back with your results and we can take a looka at other suggestions

  • Internet speed compromised after upgrade to iOS 8

    Have recently upgraded to iOS 8 and Internet speed has been drastically reduced on my iPad air (128Gb). Is there anyone out there who can assist? I'm on a weak 3G network.

    First try a soft reset.  Hold the home & sleep/wake button down simultaneously., keep holding until you see the Apple logo appear then let go & let the iPad boot normally.
    If that doesn't help, go to Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to login to any wifi networks you previously connected with.  You could also just try resetting Network Settings but I find resetting all settings can clear up a bunch of issues including speed & usability.

  • PC to Mac - slower internet speed?

    I have just purchased my first mac (entry level imac 17"). I love the computer and the operating system. However, the internet speed is extremely slow (almost like dial up). I have a pc and a mac, both running off the same connection. The mac is significantly slower surfing the exact sames sites. It's not a cache issue or anything like that. The mac is just slow. I have tried both the wireless and ethernet connections and it's slow either way. I have tried downloading Firefox and that doesn't seem to make a difference either.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    Clint,
    Have you tried using the "Automatic" setting that you first saw after setup? Unless you made changes to it, I'd imagine it's still in effect, just not active since you're now using another "Location:" setting. Or, was that "Automatic" setup too slow as well?
    If you'd like to try yet again, using the same basics as included in the Network Setup Assistant, but with more stringent settings:))
    There's no need to dump any of your current setups that already work - at System Preferences>Network in the "Location:" selector simply use "New Location..." to name yourself yet another new setup (perhaps "wireless Feb 11") and proceed:
    Set the "Show:" selector to "AirPort" and choose the "TCP/IP" pane. Check that "Configure IPv4:" is set as "Using DHCP." No other settings are necessary on that preference pane. If you make any change, be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
    Switching from the "TCP/IP" pane to the "PPPoE" pane, if the isp connection settings are already held within your wireless router, which I think they most likely are, the "Connect using PPoE" box should not be checked. There would also be no need to have checked the box "Show PPPoE status in menu bar." If you make any change, again be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
    Now switching from the "PPPoE" pane to the "AirPort" pane, have the box "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checked, and I suggest setting the "By default, join:" selector to "Preferred networks." Eliminate all other networks listed [remember, you'll only be eliminating them from this new location setup, not from your other, already working "location" setups], then add your wireless network security method, name and password to the preferred networks list, and click the "Apply Now" button.
    Then within the "Options..." button, I would set the "If no preferred networks are found:" selector to "Keep looking for recent networks" and check the box "Require administrator password to Change wireless networks." I would definitely NOT check the "Automatically add new networks" box. Click the "OK" button and again the "Apply Now" button.
    Now switch the "Show:" selector from "AirPort" to "Network Port Configurations" and drag the activated "AirPort" configuration to the top of the list. Once again click the "Apply Now" button.
    Even with this new setup now activated, when you open the menu bar AirPort icon you will continue to see the other wireless networks in your area that are visible to your AirPort - but you won't have to worry about them confusing your Network connection, as it will no longer be considering them.
    To return to one of your previous connection setups, simply switch the "Location:" selector to the one you want to use, and click the "Apply Now" button. The new setup just completed will remain unchanged in the "Location:" selector under the new name chosen.
    Now, in the "Location:" selector name a second "New Location..." (such as "enet to router Feb 11") - this will be for ethernet access to your router.
    Set "Show:" to "Built-in Ethernet" and select the "TCP/IP" pane. Check that "Configure IPv4:" is set as "Using DHCP." No other settings are necessary on that pane. If you make any change, be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
    Switching from the TCP/IP pane to the PPPoE pane, if the isp connection settings are already held within your wireless router, which I think they most likely are, the "Connect using PPoE" box should not be checked. There would also be no need to have checked the box "Show PPPoE status in menu bar." If you make any change, again be sure to click the "Apply Now" button before leaving that preference pane.
    Now switching from the "PPPoE" pane to the "Ethernet" pane, check that the "Configure:" selector is set to "Automatically" and if any change is made, click the "Apply Now" button.
    Now switch the "Show:" selector from "Built-in Ethernet" to "Network Port Configurations" and drag the activated "Built-in Ethernet" configuration to the top of the list. Then drag the activated "AirPort" configuration to the position immediately under "Built-in Ethernet." Once again click the "Apply Now" button and that new setup is completed and activated. Your iMac will be connected to the router by ethernet and at the same time can use wireless to connect to a wireless printer or to another wireless computer.
    After both new setups are in place, I suggest to boot from your Install Disc 1, get past the first (language selection) screen, and (after fully loading) the second screen will contain a "Utilities" pull-down in the menu bar. Open and select Disk Utility. On the left side of the box, select the top-most drive shown, on the right side select "First Aid" and then click the "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" button. Allow to run to completion. Run a second time to be sure. Do not run Disk Permissions Repairs, but instead quit the installer version of Disk Utility, quit the installer process, and restart to your usual startup disk, which you can re-select using "Startup Disk" also located in the "Utilities" pull-down where you found Disk Utility. After restarting, Repair Disk Permissions in a similar manner after opening the version of Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilites folder.
    Please don't hesitate to let me know the results of the above series of recommendations.
    However, if all that doesn't make for some improvement, I'd think you'd want to check with your router maker's website (or the router supplier's website if it was supplied by your isp) to see if there's a firmware update that might be applied to your router. Such an update might help your router's encryption capabilities, or might provide updated Mac support for the Intel-based Macs.
    Beyond that, I'd be calling AppleCare for support with your connection, since you're still within the 90 days of AppleCare phone support that is part of your new Mac purchase.

  • After updating to 4.3 I can't connect to wi-fi because the "internet speeds are too slow". How much speed does this require?

    After updating to 4.3 I can't connect to wi-fi because the "Internet speeds are too slow". So what speed does it need?

    I called tech support and I got the same **** canned response, backup and reset to factory settings.  Yeah right!  Everything was fine until Verizon shoved the software update down my throat.  I finally unchecked the box in Wi-Fi settings for auto network switch.  However, I still get the "Your Internet connection is unstable" warning no matter what Wi-Fi connection I hit.
    In a related story, I received a new or refurbished phone as my original SIII had AC/charging connection issues.  I called probably three times to attempt to back up my data, went into two stores in attempts to have them transfer the information over, and all were too incompetent and inept to assist me.  Only when talking to someone about this Wi-Fi issue, did someone actually know how to back up everything.  Of course by this time, I had to send the new phone back because Verizon charged me $400 before I got everything squared away.  What a colossal waste of my time!

  • Boot Camp Internet Speed Drastically Different From OSX Speeds

    I'm running windows 7 in BootCamp on a Mac Air (Early 2014); in BootCamp I am averaging 5M/10M. That's right for some reason my download is slower than my upload on the windows side.
    On the OSX side I average 80M/15M.
    These are both wireless numbers.
    As you can see this is a drastic difference.
    How can I take full advantage of my internet speeds on the windows side?
    I have installed the BootCamp 5.1.5640 Drivers 3 or 4 times now per Apple's website however this has not changed my results. I have also disabled auto updates in windows as I know that can sometimes overwrite the drivers from Apple.
    Any assistance or suggestions would be great!

    This could be all sorts of things but i am inclined to have the same suspicion of others here which is that your ISP is messing with your bandwidth.
    In the UK pretty much every ISP shapes traffic, i've ended up buying a VPN internet service to get around this permanently (this appears as encrypted traffic over the shttp port to your ISP) this is the only way i've managed to get consistent speed with everything.
    The only thing this doesn't protect against is if you're ISP is throttling your entire connection - they usually only do this if you start to break your monthly bandwidth limits.
    Anyway like i said this might not be the case at all... however you can get free VPN trials to test this, this one provides trials on request (they are manually initiated so be patient): http://www.yourprivatevpn.com/

  • Internet Speed Limited on Windows 10

    Hi! After installing Windows 10, I have a problem with my internet speed on my notebook. It connects to my personal wifi network, but the speed is limited to 54 Mbs. A friend of mine connected his HP notebook to the same wifi network and his speed was 150 Mbs. I do not seem to know what the problem is. I tried almost everything: - reinstalled the drivers- reset the rooter- disabled the power-off option for the adapter- tried resetting the IP in CMD Nothing works. I must mention that the wireless button light on my notebook keeps beeping. Instead of staying white, it keeps beeping every second, 1 second white, 1 second orange again and again. This has never happened before. I know that it should stay orange when it is turned off and white when on, but now it keeps on beeping. The slow internet connection problem is obviously related to this wireless button issue. I installed and reinstalled the HP wireless button driver. It does not work. I connected my notebook directly to the rooter with a cable and surprisingly the network speed was still low (54 Mbs), so I can rule out the wireless adapter hardware, as the problems persists on a wired connection. Can you please help me?  It is really frustrating and no solution seems to work.   

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

  • Firefox internet speed slow in verizon fios until I use another browser. When I return to firefox speed very much inproved = to other browsers

    Each time I run verizon's fios speed test in fire fox the results are very slow until I use another browser,IE, chrome, then back to firefox and rerun speed test. The speed increases = to other browsers. I have another computer on the same network but with win 7 instead of win 8.1 and do not have this problem. This has occurred over several months ,versions and updates of fire fox. I have tried many fixes to no avail. I like fire fox and want to stay with it.

  • Slow internet speed -upgraded it to highest speed

    I have had FiOS internet for about four years and never questioned the speed 10/2, but I had it plugged into the router.  On 3/4, I upgraded to TV FiOS/internet and phone bundle.  I do not have my computer where the router is located now (downstairs) and I had asked them to move it upstairs, but left before they had done it.  When I checked the speed (I guess the wireless speed since it is not plugged in to the router), it was 15.66/10 mbps.  I ordered the 35/35 mbps speed bundle.  I called Verizon and asked them about it and she checked the speed and said that it was "pretty good" considering it is wireless.  What?  I am not getting what I am paying for.  Do I need a DSL filter on all the phone lines?  Do I need a new router (I still have the old one)?  I have read on the community here that everyone has called several times to get an answer to the slow internet speed problem. Does anyone have the 35/35 mbps speed plan and have it work at this speed? I might as well go down to the 15 or 25 plan if that speed is all I am every going to get......But maybe if I go down to 25 plan, I'll get 10 or 15...... I will continue to try and work with Verizon to get this solved.   .Thanks for any help.

    Hello Elliiee,
    The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • My Internet Speed is Slow

    Hi Everyone. 
    I have an issue regarding my Internet speed. The problem is that it seems to be a lot slower than it used to be. Its been like this now pushing 4 months and it seems to be getting worse and worse. Some days however I will come on my laptop and it will be fine and then it will be dreadful for another 2 weeks or so. My Internet speed seems to be at its worst when me and my brother are on our laptops at the same time or if he's on his Xbox (or the other way round).
    Webpages take a while to load, I can't load Youtube video's unless i wait 20 minutes for them to buffer fully. I also have a bad connection on Xbox Live and I have really bad lagg on this MMORPG I like to play (It's like clicking delay). It's not my computer however as im running on atleast 20-50fps depending on how crowded the area is. I would also like to mention that sometimes when someone uses the house phone the internet drops for a minute or so.
    It would be gratefull if you could give me some feedback on the matter or any solutions as to what it could be or on how to fix it as its getting very frustrating. One of my friends said ringing up BT and asking for a new router may help but I dont know.  
    Thanks for reading ~ Martin.

    welcome to the forum
    in order for the forum members to help 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) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/935​4/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets 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

  • Internet speeds keep slowing down to a crawl

    I'm having a problem that has only developed in the past week which was during a time when I haven't changed any configurations in that period of time since my son was born a week ago yesterday and I obviously had more important things to do than mess with my network configurations. However, about 2 weeks prior to his birth, in the process of configuring a baby monitoring system with icam source, 3 weeks or so ago, I read that I might be able to improve my internet performance, I ran googles namebench a couple of times and added and re-ordered the DNS servers that had been listed prior to any problems developing based on its' reports. My internet speeds improved as a result of changing those DNS settings and stayed good until the past week. But of course, we now need to use the computer as part of our baby monitoring system and it's not working worth a **** and I'm getting frustrated since I can't put my finger on the problem and I don't really have time to spin around in circles right now. I'm sure it's probably something simple and I can't put my finger on it though. Sleep deprivation is new to me.......
    I've kept running log of notes so this is a little deshoveled but I figured the more information I provide the better the chance someone might help me get this solved quickly.
    In the last week, since my sons birth, my internet speeds would be okay after restarts and resetting everything, 2.5 Mbps or so but after a 10-15 minutes it starts to slow down to .2-.3 Mbps. I went thru all my network settings, restarted everything, repaired permissions, I've changed ethernet cables reset PRAM, firewall is running, stealth mode enabled, allow signed software incoming connections and my various other programs such as netsessionmac4f3c6b, skype, java, itunes, etc.
    All sharing services off and pretty basic login items at startup including growl.
    I had AT&T come out and check my DSL line and everything checked out on their end up to and out of the DSL modem based in their equipment tests.
    The problem seems to start when I connect my imac (a fairly loaded 27" imac I got in Dec.) First off, as soon as the imac is connected to the modem via ethernet, the old ethernet modem flashes and continues to flash, even right after startup. So the tech thought something was running in the background and I can't figure out what. I looked through login items but don't see anything that would be a problem and am afraid to eliminate everything.
    So I created a guest account to eliminate any login items (I think) and in I got 5.69 Mbps right off the bat. But after a minute or two, without changing anything my download speed slows down and I get for example .77 Mbps. The same thing happens with my administrator account on the imac. Fast speeds at startup and more importantly if I change the configuration by switching between ethernet and airport, I get fast speeds right after changing the configuration but after a minute or two I am well below 1.0 Mbps. I've got several network configurations with automatic, airport and ethernet set up in different ways including a clean ethernet connection with the original DNS settings.
    I haven't set up an airport only account but that really isn't the way I want to hook up the computer that sits right next to the modem and runs my network. Restarting the old modem and direct connecting the computer to the modem results in the same thing happening.
    I connected my ethernet from the (old?) modem directly to my ancient powerbook G4 and I got +5.6 Mbps download but it also slowed down to 300 kbps after 5 minutes or so the first time (old modem?)
    Now to explain why I have "old?" listed above. I was then able to get a new DSL modem from AT&T, hook it up just fine, get enormously faster internet service in the 5,000 kbps only to have it slow back down to around 300 kpbs after connected for several minutes.
    directly connected to imac-bypassing router
    3,500 kbps
    after 15 minutes-250 kbps
    connected to imac thru router/time capsule with airport extreme
    2500 kbps
    after 15 minutes=166 kbps
    directly connected to an older powerbook G4 with new modem
    IP address of 192.168.1.64
    5.65 Mbps on speedtest
    after 15 minutes=5.67 Mbps
    after 30 minutes= 5.59 Mbps
    1 hour-5.66 Mbps
    Very solid, stable readings for what I am used to. This would seem to isolate the problem to the imac.
    directly connected to imac with new modem
    IP address of 192.168.1.64
    5.8 Mbps on speedtest
    after 30 minutes= .60 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
    1 hour= .46 Mbps-ping takes 250 ms
    Now a problem that only started last night after I hooked up the new modem and started up my old Time capsule/airport configuration, I got a message that said something to effect of "another device on this network is using computer IP address 192.168.1.64. So I tried manually changing last digit of the IP address on the computer to one number higher and it kept saying the start and end range were incorrect so I shut the airport station down since when it was connected, it would not allow the computer to connect thru the router via ethernet. I did a hard reset on the airport and I got it back up and running just fine but the internet speeds on the imacs' ethernet connections are so slow it's practically worthless. I also checked to see what was connected to my airport on any given occasion, 2 iphones, 2 pads, another imac running upstairs and a newer powerbook running icam source that is supposed to be the baby monitor. Except for the laptop everything can use "802.11n" but the powerbook only connects via 802.11g so I have set the airport to that limiting setting.
    Any suggestions? Is there a way for me to log what is happening so I can report in more detail?

    First thing is to check if the wireless is on a sensible channel: HomeHub doesn't always make sensible choices.  Install inSSIDer on your laptop and see what other devices there are around and if there is any clash.  Also, try moving the HomeHub around a little, even quite small differences can make a big difference to wireless signals.
    You could run an ethernet cable from downstairs to upstairs.  Easy to do, but can be a bit unsightly.  If most of your devices are upstairs, you could use this cable to connect the modem to the HomeHub.  If you have devices both up and down, you may want to keep the HomeHub downstairs and add a switch upstairs.
    HomePlug may be suitable for you.  If you search Amazon for HomePlug you will see a couple of kits for just over £30.  Don't go for an 85Mbps one.  A 200Mbps such as the TP-link or D-Link should be much better than wireless, but not as good as a cable.
    Depending excatly how many devices you want to connect and where, you can pay more and have a builtin wireless at one end: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Devolo-1408-Wireless-N-HomePlug-Adapter/dp/B00472MMCQ/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qi...  Or it may be best for you to use the basic devices and add an old wireless router in switch mode.

  • Time Capsule only runs with 1,1Mbit up/down during data transfer, internet speed is ok, TC is used to extend an existing network

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a new 2TB Time Capsule running with a MacBook Air. I want to use the TC to access data (Aperture library, iTunes library, other Files) and to backup my MacBook Air via Time Machine. I set it up, integrated the TC in my Network (FritzBox) by choosing "extend existing network" and it works. BUT only with 1.1Mbit/second while writing or reading Data to/from it. Internet speed is very good, like it was before. While the 1.1Mbit/second seem to be ok with Aperture and iTunes (streaming music and movies) it is still painfully slow and I'm not realy happy with that
    I've read that:
    The 1.1Mbit problem is pretty common when Time Capsule is integrated and used to extend a network (bridge modus), it also looses all ethernet connectivity then (that woul explain why connecting it by ethernet didn't help during initial setup and data transfer)
    Is there a solution besides ditching the Fritzbox and using the TC to build the network? Because basicly I still need the Fritzbox for its DECT features.
    Thank you for any help in advance and have a nice day,
    Olli

    You have double hop wireless with this setup..
    You should bridge the TC.. that is router bridge not wireless bridge, and plug the TC into the Frizyboy by ethernet.
    Then you can setup the TC wireless to reinforce the fritzy..
    Same wireless name as SSID.
    Same security settings... really should be WPA2 AES or in TC personal.

    Just different wireless channel.
    Then you can use 5ghz on the TC if you are up close and personal.

  • Absurdly slow internet speeds and often unable to ...

    I'm used to getting around 13 Mbps Internet speeds from BT.
    In the last few days, although the speed tests show similar results (assuming I can actually get online to test them), Internet browsing has become painfully slow, with many pages simply not loading at all.
    I've called BT, and been through some tests with them, and they assure me that everything is fine, and that my Internet speeds are as high as ever.
    I've also done some hunting around on google, and tried using open DNS settings, but to no avail. It's especially hard to upload data, and it's almost impossible to send email.
    Occasionally, if I turn on my Mac after a longish break, I can get online easily, and send e-mail for a few minutes, then the problem returns.
    BT insist that there's nothing wrong with the line, but the fact that the problem affects both my Mac and my iPad suggests that the problem is not with my computer.
    Indeed, I'm now in the local pub, and everything is working just fine.
    I've been through all the usual things - checking location of Homehub (even though it was absolutely fine for 18 months in its current location), changed the ADSL micro-filter, changed the wireless channel, etc, and to no avail.
    What else can anyone suggest?
    Thank you.

    So, the first time I did this speed-test was on my return home, when everything was working fine again.
