Low speed internet -- intermitte​nt problems

Usually my internet service is fine; but, occasionally it will be very slow (essentially unusable).  The past couple days it has been VERY slow and unusable.  I have tried restarting the computer and internet/router many times to no avail.

Hi you can follow the below steps to increase your internet speed
1)Delete all cookies and temporary files.
2)Use different browser. Because normally some browser enabled javascript
and flash video ,so the webpages is loaded very slow.So you can try  it
different browser.
3)Virus,malwares is also another important thing it will make a slow connection.
So use a good antivirus software to remove all virus and malwares .
4)You can try to close unwanted applications
Finally go to this site Scanmyspeed.com then check your internet speed it will  definitely works very fast

  • Low Speed Internet - on iMac Only

    Hi,
    I have an early 2008 iMac running 10.9.5. 
    Recently the WiFi on it has been running painfully slow, compared to the other devices in my home.  I thought it was due to the location in my home but it doesn't appear so as I've compared it to a Macbook.
    The iMac's speed test results in download speeds between:  1.2 and 5.6 mps.
    The Macbook's speed test results, when right next to the iMac:  25 mps.
    Around where my airport is (downstairs), speeds on the Macbook are 50+ mps, which is what I am paying for.   (The iMac is upstairs.)
    Is there a way to fix this so the iMac runs at the ~25 mps like the Macbook does?  Is this a general problem with Mavericks, which I've read from others?
    One solution I tried which did not work is:  Go To> /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration > Delete the files, reconnect and get a fresh reconfigure.  This did not solve the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    On the iMac (machine getting the low speeds)
    PHY Mode: 802.11n
    Channel:   1 (2.4 ghz)
    Security: WPA2 Personal
    Signal/Noise or RSSI:  -81
    Transmit Rate: 39
    On the Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (machine getting high speeds)
    PHY Mode: 802.11n
    Channel:   1 (2.4 ghz)
    Security: WPA2 Personal
    Signal/Noise or RSSI:  -75
    Transmit Rate: 156
    Hmmm, so clearly the Macbook Pro has a much higher transmit rate.  Is that fixable?

  • Internet connecting at much lower speed lately

    I have HSI Enhanced and have had it for 10 months at this location and for a number of years at my previous location. Last October I was connecting at 3360 / 832 kbps. After some months it went down to  around 2800 / 832 kpbs. I wasn't crazy about speeds getting lower as time went on rather than the connection being improved, but it was pretty much free of disconnects and reliable so I was happy with it.
    In the past month or so I had noise on my voice line which Verizon fixed, but my connection is now 1792 / 448 Kbps all the time, that is a drop I will not accept if this is the way it is going to be from now on. Also there is a lot of losing the connection, not to the DSL, that light stays on but the internet light goes off. I went through the usual channels online chat, telephone support to wherever that goes. I'm done with all that, that's good for people with trouble using their modem, etc. or can't connect it but not what I am looking for.
    Finally they sent out a tech who was a nice enough person, what he did was call a central office and after them first claiming the lower speed was the right speed they put the connection back in the area of 3360/832. Then they said it will probably adjust itself to down around 2800 down, which it what I had before so I was OK with it. After several days with a number of disconnects (they don't last too long but very annoying) I am back to 1792 / 448.
    I am using the same modem - Actiontec GT704WGB
    I don't need a tech call here in the house again, nothing has changed in here since I moved in months ago. They can check the outside signal without me waiting around for them. They don't have to stand in here to call an office on their tablet.
    I need to hear from Verizon personnel that can tell me LOCAL information about why my connection speed has tanked and why there are dropouts now. And most importantly, why it can't be the same as it was for all those months. As I said, I was happy with that - especially when it was 3360 / 832 kbps.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When Verizon turns your speed back up, they have to disable the optimization system they use on the lines to maintain your speed, since it sounds like that is just turning your speed back down after a few days. Make them fix it back again.
    For future note, if you do have problems with your DSL and you're also having audio quality issues with your phone, call Voice Repair, and leave DSL support out of the mix. DSL support usually dials back the speed for a line issue from what I've seen as a first try basis. If you do have noise that disappears when the DSL modem is off, then that could be from other things which DSL support OR phone support will be needed for.
    Ex: Two years ago I had a problem with my Frontier DSL line having a ton of static on the line. The DSL modem was not synchronizing, however the noise stopped when I shut off the modem. It turns out, the night before lightning struck a tree outside of my home, and caused the DSL modem which was several years old to fry. The modem was still powering up, but the chip responsible for the DSL connection itself was blown. A new modem from Frontier via DSL Support fixed the DSL connection AND the static.
    Ex2: At a local business with Verizon DSL, they hear static on their line from time to time, but only while the DSL is active. The problem was not with the DSL itself or any filters, but as the static got worse it began to show up without the DSL being connected. Voice repair was dispatched instead of calling DSL Support, and resolved the problem by running new cable between the building and the Verizon copper trunk. In addition, they found and corrected some corroding splices.

  • Airport, high speed Internet problem

    Hello guys
    Let me tell you what i'm was facing before the change happened and the issue started.
    I was connecting my macbook pro 13 to my 5mg speed Internet thro the router wirelessly. it was going perfect with no pre loading the page. Also i connect my ps3 to it and my phone, and still no problems. however, i wanted more speed, so i upgrade my Internet with 50mg speed. the first day it was going amazing while i'm connecting wirelessly. even speedtest.net was giving me the full speed. but the second day it started. it takes so long to open a page, youtube for example. even when its opened it doesn't show me the pre picture of some videos . and when i open the video its take soo much to pre load the clip, i mean not even loading the clip , but when its start it can run 1080 with no problem.
    So when i called the Internet provider they tolled me to open any page and run youtube clips on my ipod, it's runs faster then my macbook pro. not even a second to run a youtube clip. and they said its may be my airport card having an issue running a fast high speed Internet. even thou when i connect my macbook by wire its goes fine but with less time to pre-load the page. but still it looks like running on DSL connection.
    Any suggestions to solve the problem ?
    and sorry for making it so long to read

    also even thou it took time to open a page but when i download a file it, the downloading speed of only that file goes like what it should be.

  • Problem on connertion to sap by program through low speed lan.

    Hi, all
    I need to connet sap system through low speed lan by program(not abap)...The program is PowerBuilder, is there any parameter I could use to setting waiting time?
    Just like the code page setting parameters:
    SapConnection.Code_Page = '8400'
    Thank you very much.

    Hi
    How will your real time scenario be? Its better if we simulate that
    you must estimate like this
    a. No of invoices from SD that may be raised
    b. Any manual postings from FI or other misc postings from MM
    c. Montlly Order settlements to COPA posting variances
    d. Any assessment cycle from CO to COPA for marketing overheads - estimate the no of segments you will be distributing upon
    Based on this estimate, sit with your basis guy and do the server sizing accordingly.... Use Summarization levels in COPA to improve performance

  • Low speed

    Have very low speed - 0.225 mbs, download. On signing up I was told I will be receiving minimum of 8mbs, average of 15mbs and a maximum of 19mbs. Besides being passed from pillar to post as no-one understands why the broadband is so low I have just been informed that the maximum I can get is now 10mbs - quite a big difference? I have also been told I will be charged to have the phone line looked at even though it was only installed by BT two months previously so I will be paying twice. Is this right? I have been lied to, called a liar, transferred to every department within BT. Each member of staff has told me they can't help that I need to be transferred to a different department so after five hours on the phone I am still at square one! This has been going on for two months. Oh I was also told I would receive compensation for not receiving a service but apparently I'm suddenly not eligible for this. I can get faster broadband (more than 10mbs) for cheaper elsewhere. BT have broken the contract by not supplying me with the service that they promised. BT staff don't seem to know much as they can't even agree on the rate of broadband I should be receiving. This is not to mention how rude they have all been towards me. I am thankful that everything is recorded as this proves that I am not at fault and there are obviously training issues that need to be addressed within all departments in the company. Has anyone else had the same experience? Can any moderators respond? 

    Hello, thanks for your response.
    I can assure you that i have tried absolutely everything including replacement router, filters etc.
    The line was only installed on the 14th April, and BT only guarantee their work for a month! I paid £130 to have a line installed...
    They have admitted there is a fault in the line, but even after 6 hours of diagnostic tests still cant find the problem. These tests werent all carried out today but over the past 2 months yet they still didn't send another engineer round to check the line had been installed correctly. I was only offered this option once the "28 day" warranty on the line had expired hence I was expected to pay for it. If this information is incorrect, i have been lied to by the Technical team at BT once again.
    The end result after approx 6 hours on the phone today was that i demanded a full refund for the past 2 months of broadband that i was paying for but not receiving, which was granted after a struggle, and a cancellation of the contract due to BT breaching the contract on at least 2 counts. The first being that i was lied to by the initial sales advisor about the speed of the internet connection i was to expect and BT could not honour this and the second due to paying for a service that i was not receiving. I still have not resolved the problem with the line itself which needs to be looked at by BT regardless of which isp i decide to go with now.
    I think BT really need to look into the staff they have on the end of the phone as they have been nothing but helpless and i can imagine that they have lost BT 1000's of customers due to their lack of knowledge or training.

  • Connection issues and low speeds

    Hi there,
    my family have been with BT now for about 3 or so years and the connection had been rather good until about late last year. According to my family it's everytime I come back home from uni the internet starts to play up as in:
    . Low speeds
    .Drops out and loses connection
    Believing it was somehow my laptop causing the issues I backed everything up and completly wiped it because BT support thought it may be a virus on my machine even the the checks came back with nothing. So I've wiped my laptop and restarted it like it was a brand new laptop...still we're having these issues so I refuse to believe it's my laptop causing the problems. I've changed the chanel on the hub so many times it just doesn't make a difference. Tried different DSL adapters tried different cables even a wired connection causes problems. I am begining to think it's because the router has had it but I am willing to try anything at this point before asking for a new router from BT. Even BT don't seem to know what the problem is all they do is reset the routers chanel every single time I ring them.
    So any advice or help would be greatly appreaciated
    Many Thanks
    Benjamin
    PS - sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes , I've written this in a hurry before the internet drops out again...

  • How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

    I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

    Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
    * [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
    The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
    Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

  • When home sharing songs are transferring at an extremely low speed. why is this happening??

    Hi
    I shared my library with my Husband's library using the same apple id. I then tried to copy songs from that library to mine. But the songs are transferring at a ridiculously low speed. When he copied the songs from my library it did not take as much time. Can you please tell me why this is happening?? Is this a problem with the itunes??

    Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

  • I Can't Burn a CD any more! and a lower speed does nothing - HELP!

    I have been burning CDs on this machine (imac 10.3.9) the same way for years and years. (7)
    Up till last month.
    This is what I get when I burn a playlist.
    "itunes can not burn this cd because your burn speed is too fast for you cd burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane then try burning again."
    I've tried that - even though that seems silly considering I've had no problems at my current settings until now. The lowest burn speed (1) gives me the same error.
    I'm hating life and my mac right now, something I though I'd never say.
    Anyone?

    If you don't have Nero, check out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9229334#9229334. I think some people have found a way to get just the Burn Rights program.
    If that doesn't work, some people seem to have luck with editing the registry or messing with filters or gear drivers. Check out this discussion starting with Tytus (he came up with the Nero fix) on March 22:

  • Download error 9006, internet intermittent.

    download error 9006.  internet intermittent. Tthis is normal for where we live, it just drops for a second and everytime it drops you have to start over with the download, is there a way to pickup where it dropped off?

    traffic shaping prioritises "core" services, so web browsing and email are not affected.
    P2P traffic and video sharing/downloading are the services that are often throttled (sometimes to the point where it's not usable).
    all ISPs do this (even the ones that say they don't).
    Sky's broadband services all do this expect for the 16MB Max LLU package which has no throttling or download limits (the 8MB services has shaping during peak times and a 40GB a month usage limit).
    apple have no control over this and will give an error message that is relevant to the problem in question (ie problem downloading the file). it has no control over what throttling an ISP is doing and is unable to tell if throttling is the issue or not.

  • Playback speeds up intermittently on first scene when played after build

    Hi
    I have a problem with playback on apple dvd player after completing the build? When I play the authored project on apple dvd player after the build, after clicking on the play button in the main menu, the first scene (about 1 min. long) playback speeds up intermittently-normal speed then fast for a second then normal then fast-jumpy I guess might describe it. This only happens on the first scene with all the other scenes after this point in the timeline playing fine. I placed 2 new clips (different assets-scenes) to replace the first scene & the same issue happens with different asset clips being used in the same position (first) in the track timeline.
    The scenes I used are pans of a running deer, which play fine anywhere else in the track timeline except the first position. When I play the project it's fine in simulator mode & in the project itself...this only happens after the build when playing on apple dvd player from VIDEO_TS folder. This is a test project for some footage so it's only 10 minutes long with bit rates at 5-6 ave. & 6-7.4 max.
    -2 pass VBR-best motion.
    Any ideas on what is going on?
    I'm using DVDSP 2 with Jaguar 10.2.8.
    Thanks for any help.

    Della:
    Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
    You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
    If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
    I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!

  • How do I setup high speed internet on Sun Solaris 10?

    Hello,
    I have comcast high speed internet. It doesn't work automatically. How can I setup my high speed internet connection to work with Sun Solaris 10?
    Mateusz

    Pickup a broadband router, made by dlink, linksys, netgear, SMC or Cisco. If possible get a wireless with 4 port switch built in. This will give you added flexibility if you happen to get another system or a wireless laptop. You want a gateway router that does NAT, SPI firewall, DHCP.
    Plug it into your cable modem then into your sun box, default settings on the router will generally self configure to the broadband you connect to and there will be no problems. However if you are using a DSL or bigpond they require a username and password to get the line active, this requires an initial login to the firewall to pick PPoE on the WAN side.
    Different brands default to different 'non routeable' internal IP's, all are 192.168.x.x, smc defaults to 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x depending on release date, Linksys defaults to 192.168.2.x as does linksys, Netgear defaults to 192.168.1.x, the owners manual will usually tell you this.
    They are generally made to default to a windows box so configuring a unix box has to be done either manually or with the dhcp option. www.dslreports.com has alot of good vendor specific information on configuring these things.
    At any rate you need to create a file in /etc called 'defaultrouter' with the routers IP address, in the smc case it would be 192.168.2.1, pick a couple of outside DNS servers and put them in a file in /etc called resolv.conf in the format
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    copy nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
    pick an address in the 192.168.2 range like .25 and add it in the /etc/hosts file, create a hostname.hme0 file with the host name thats in the hosts file and reboot.
    Then try to ping the router, if no ping then the chang the 3td octet 1 instead of 2 and try again.
    I've never tried doing the .dhcp thing but I've never used dhcp for a sun box before because all I do is servers.
    I think I'd try the DHCP thing first then get to the router to get all it's information and write it down. Usually the ISP will populate the router with dns servers and any dns requests are answered by the router in the dhcp configuration. I think thats about it...

  • Unable to activate my high speed internet account with a mac os 10.5

    I have a big problem with the activation of my line. I have subscribed to high speed internet.
    The agent came to my house to install the jack but when I'm trying to run the installation on my computer with the cd or directly with internet it's stops when smart acces opens (I have a Mac OS X 10.5). Could somebody help me ? Thanks

    In almost all cases, internet is "plug and play" on newer computers.
    If you need to install filters, they need to go between the phone and the jack for every phone you have on the same line as the DSL. The modem does not get a filter.
    If you need to set up your username and password, you will need to log in with your default Verizon-assigned id. If you were not given this, then contact tech support and ask for your "vzid" and have them reset your password. You should then be able to log into verizon.net and click on the My Account page. On the My Account page, you can set your username, create sub accounts, manage your billing, add an alias to your account, etc.
    Does that cover what you needed, or is there something more?
