Internet speedtest is extremely fast, but browsing is extremely slow ?

Hi there,
So for the past months my internet has been really slow.  I kind of stuck with it as I thought it would get better, but now can no longer deal with it any longer. So I checked on speedtest.net
what my speed was and its really good fine: 51.01 mbps. Like going onto websites that have a lot of images, scripts takes FOREVER to come up, however, even trying to go onto google or speedtest.com takes forever as well.
Here are details that might help any of you to understand more, as well as a list of what I've been doing :
I use Internet Explorer
Computer is Windows 8
I have cleared all cache, history, data, still not helping
These are the properties of my network:
Protocol: 802.11n
Security type: WPA2-Personal
IPv4 address: 192.168.0.21
IPv4 DNS Servers: 194.168.4.100
 194.168.8.100
Manufacturer: Qualcomm Atheros Communications Inc.
Description: Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter
Driver version: 10.0.0.270
I also ran cmd: sfc/scannow      & the results that came up showed that these files were corrupt?      Should I be concerned?
Failed to internally open package. [HRESULT = 0x800f0805 - CBS_E_INVALID_PACKAGE]
Failed to OpenPackage using worker session [HRESULT = 0x800f0805]
>> This appeared everywhere in the CBS.log
My IPv4 / 6 are both on automatic
Changing it to manual and typing in IP addresses [found on other forums] still do not work
Also, to note, maybe the most important thing is that my internet works perfectly in safe mode with networking ? I also disabled all services (hide all Microsoft services) &
these are the startup icons, not sure if they are a problem.
Anyone know what my problem is? Would be great if you could help
Thank you!!

Hi Uzma,
As you mentioned, it works perfectly in Safe mode with Network. It might be caused by some third-party software or service. I would like to suggest you perform a Clean Boot to confirm it:

Meanwhile, run Internet Explorer 11 in No Add-ons mode by running the Run command from the Start menu, and then typing
iexplore.exe -extoff into the box.
2.Check if the issue persists.
If yes , open Internet Explorer for the desktop, click the Tools menu, and click
Manage Add-ons.
3.Click Toolbars and Extensions, click each toolbar or extension, clicking
Disable to turn off all of the browser extensions and toolbars.
4.Restart Internet Explorer 11. Go back to the Manage Add-Ons window and turn on each item, one-by-one.
After you turn each item back on, see if Internet Explorer crashes or slows down. Doing it this way will help you identify the add-on that's causing Internet Explorer to crash.
After you've figured out which add-on was causing the problem, turn it off until you have an update from the manufacturer.
In addition, loading image and script indeed take more time than blank webpage.

  • New MBA extremely slow internet after upgrading to 10.6.7

    Good day,
    I'd like to confirm a few things:
    What action/activity are you performing in Acrobat when it crashes?
    Is the crash consistent at the same point?
    You stated in the subject '..after upgrading to 10.6.7'
    What OS was on your iMac when you purchased it?
    Was this problem occuring when using an earlier verion of 10.6.x?
    Have you applied to font update Apple released to address some of the problems they introduced with 10.6.7?
    Did you perform a clean install of Acrobat on your iMac after you purchased it or was the application transferred in some way?
    I hope we can get this resolved for you!
    Regards,

  • Extremely slow and freezing on internet Windows 7

    On internet, connections are extremely slow, freezes.  Typing misses letters on screen.  My computer is desktop model HP Windows Vista Windows 7

    Hello marie,
    For first, let me know what type of internet connection you have. Did you have these problems before?
    Some suggestions:
    1 - Do you have antivirus-software? Do a big scan, so it scans for problems and malware, viruses, etc.
    2 - Maybe your processor is slow. Are you going on internet with other programs opened?
    I'm glad that I could help you,

  • After encrypting with filevault 2 on mountain lion, safari is extremely slow

    after encrypting with filevault2 on mountain lion, safari is running extremely slow.
    it's taking more than 45 seconds (sometimes a full minute) to load pages.
    my internet speeds are 35 mbps download and 6.35 mpbs upload, so it's not my internet connection.
    i have deleted the cache files and the system preferences.
    i'm finding that chrome is faster, but i'm seeing slowness there too.
    in encrypted using filevault 2.0 yesterday, all software is up to date.
    can anyone please help me with this?  i don't want to have to turn off filevault.
    thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have a wrong owner. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  • MacBook connects to Internet fast but iMac is extremely slow

    When I bought my new MacBook Intel CoreDuo and connected wirelessly, the connection on my old iMac G5 Intel CoreDuo has become extremely slow. I can't even run software updates on it! My work Windows PC connects superfast to the same wireless router, and after trying many suggestions on the forum's posts, I am getting nowhere near resolving my issue. I can swear I am using the same settings on both Mac's although, as suggested in one of the posts, I have changed the location on my iMac. Please help!

  • WiFi is Fast, But Ethernet Extremely Slow

    On both my old 2008 24" iMac and my brand new 27" iMac, the Internet is extremely slow when the Ethernet cable is plugged in. When it's unplugged and I'm on WiFi, it's lightning quick.
    When I'm on Ethernet, even retrieving text-only emails from Mail is painfully slow, as if I'm on dial-up. Web pages that are light on graphics take forever to load, regardless of browser. Safari, Firefox, Chrome, doesn't make a difference.
    It's not all the time, sometimes it's very quick, but most of the time it's so slow it's unusable.
    Some things I've tried on my own:
    New Ethernet cable - no difference
    Plugging into different ports on cable modem - no difference
    Unplugging cable modem, waiting a couple minutes, plugging back in - no difference
    Had the cable company out, they checked everything and saw nothing wrong on their end
    Plugged my wife's Windows laptop into the modem - web pages load very quickly
    I added a DNS address to System Preferences > Network - no difference
    When I go to a website such as Speedtest.net, it routinely shows 60-70 Mb/s download (I'm paying for 60). Even if I'm on Ethernet, it may take forever to actually load the Speedtest page, but once I do and hit "Test", it comes back with at least 60 Mb/s.
    System specs are as follows: Late 2013 27" iMac, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GM RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4 MB graphics card, 1 TB fusion drive.
    Based on everything I've tried above, I don't think it's the modem or the cable company, but something in the Mac. When I got the new computer, I transferred everything from the old via Time Machine. I'm hoping I didn't transfer some obscure setting that is preventing the Ethernet from running at its full potential...
    Any suggestions would be most welcome - thank you!

  • My new ipod is extremely slow, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes.

    My new ipod touch 4g is extremly slow in my house, but i have full strength wifi. Works fast at others homes. When i try to connect to the internet it gives me a server error. All other ipods and laptops work fine in the home. Does anybody else have this issue?

    Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
    You can try:
    - Reseting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings.

  • 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 !
    Chetan

    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?

  • Establish IP from DHCP but no Internet or Extremely Slow

    Synopsis: Net Macmin, New Ethernet Cat 6 cable (approx. 90 ft), DSL Comtrend Router.  IP Connects, slow to no internet.
    Added a 90' cable and ends across store basement from front PC to router in rear of business.  Standard non-crossover Cat 6 cable properly crimped.  Get IP Address from DHCP on front MacMini but internet is extremely slow.  I re-ran the cable away from parallel to power conduit, still extremely slow.  The light on the port which this cable is plugged in flashes at high rate with no pause, unlike three other connected to router.
    Front MacMini works fine over wifi, but retail software recommended ethernet connection to ensure reliability should interference occur over wifi.  When I'm testing the Ethernet I do shut off the wifi and have, since started testing, changed the service order so wifi is second chosen to ensure tesitng with ethernet is accurate when wifi is on.
    When you try to load a webpage (I used google) through safari it loads 25% of the load bar and stops until it times out a few second later.  Used network utility to verify connection to goolge, it took a few seconds longer than wifi but was able to ping google.  I don't own a ethernet tester and would rather not buy one for one project.
    Based on the ability to connect with IP address tells me the cable is able to talk back and forth with the router, correct?  I've read a lot about ethernet port issues, how common is this, what else could be causing the problem?
    Internet Source: MyFairPoint DSL for Business
    Network Hardware: Comtrend AR-5381u DSL Router
    Other Hardware on Router: Second MacMini, Dell Tower, Color HP LaserJet
    Thank you to whomever can help and everyone that lends feedback!

    My plan is to bring my MBP to the shop later this week to test this out.  I wanted to put this out there to see if any other troubleshooting ideas were brought up.  Thanks for the input!

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

    I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
    also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
    To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
    My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
    o/s to W7-Ult.
    Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
    Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

    if(null != object) object.Submit(browserID, tabID, target, url); }; </script>

    Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
    machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
    Steam or the like causing interference.
    I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
    I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
    my Asus machine.

  • We've just bought 2 iPads and seen our home internet usage nearly treble! (But our browsing habits haven't changed) Coincidence or unrelated? Any help gratefully received

    We've just bought 2 iPads and seen our home internet usage nearly treble! (But our browsing habits haven't changed) Coincidence or unrelated? Any help gratefully received

    "Our browsing habits haven't changed" - with all due respect, unless you have kept a diary or other record of specific internet activity, you have no way of knowing that. And you make no mention of what was used prior to the iPads to do this, so it would be difficult to make any kind of comparison.
    Not only the browsers, but any number of apps on the iPads also access the internet.
    You might want to check location services, and potentially turn it off for any apps that really don't need it. Likewise check you mail set up and reduce reliance on Push (I have mine set to strictly manual, but more to reduce interruptions than reducing internet usage)
