Mac internet speeds slower vs. previous Windows PC

I finally made the switch a few days ago from my Windows PC to a new iMac 21.5". So far I think it's perfect, but there is one issue I'm having. It seems like the internet is a lot more uncooperative on my Mac than it was on my PC. Now, almost all the pages I go on have to be reloaded once or twice, and sometimes they don't even load at all. The most problematic sites I've noticed are Newegg, Reddit and Youtube (sometimes videos fail to load, saying "Missing plugin").
This happens whether I'm on wifi 2.4ghz, wifi 5ghz or wired. Everything on my router is set up exactly as it was on my Windows PC, except for changing some port-forwards so I can play games. Would updating to 10.7.3 possibly fix my problem? Is there something esle going on? Or is it possible I could've gotten a defective computer? Thanks in advance

Well, you should update for sure,,, every iteration of OSX is mostly an improvement... but never realy fixed until the next Paid Upgrade.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6/10.7 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
Is that Interface dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON?
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

Internet speed slows down when connected via airport express

Internet speed slows down when connecting via airport express. When connecting directly via the timecapsulethe internet speed is ok, when connecting via the airport express the speed slows down.What can I do to change that? Any suggestions?

Turn off the AirPort Express completely as a test, and move your computer very close to the location of the Express.
As I said before, the Express can only extend the bandwidth (speed) that it receives from the Time Capsule, so the speed that you see there with the Express powered off will be the fastest speed of which the Express is capable.
The Express will make the signal go further when it extends....but it will not make the signal go faster.
A good location for a device that extends wirelessly is a point that is about half the distance from the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you locate the AirPort Express too far from the Time Capsule or there are more than a couple of walls in the signal path, the signal will be very slow by the time that it reaches the Express....and the Express simply extends a signal that has already slowed down significantly.
If you already have the Express located about half the distance between the Time Capsule and general area that needs more wireless coverage, how many walls, ceilings or other obstructions are there in the signal path between the Time Capsule, the AirPort Express and the area that needs more coverage?
Often, due to obstructions, it is just not possible to achieve good performance when you try to extend a network wirelessly. The solution is connect the AirPort Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection.
There is virtually no signal loss with this type of connection, so the Express can be located exactly where it is needed and it will produce a much faster wireless signal in this type of setup.

So after having Plusnet for a few years and bad teething problems for most of it I decided to move to BT and have the unlimited package with the home hub 3. Plusnet provided me with speeds between 1.8Mbps - 1.9Mbps using their Thompson Router, on a D-link Router the speeds were the same.
I know that BT owns Plusnet but I thought why not cut out the middle man and go straight to the main supplier, considering others in my street have speeds of 2.3Mbps and over with the likes of Sky, Talk Talk and Supanet, it seemed like a no brainer to go with BT.
My IP Profile with BT is a max 1.5Mbps and the fastest I can have is 1.44Mbps which seems strange considering I had more with plusnet? I complained to BT, the recommended way was to chat online via their chat app which to me seemed a better option. So after my first online chat I was advised that my speed was very low but to wait for 10 days for the line to stabilize from install.
12 days later the speed hits 0.8Mbps which more than warranted my second online chat. They advised me to run the usual checks, the only thing different from my setup was the change in router switching the Plusnet out for the BT Home Hub 3. So we checked everything, Filters, Ethernet Cables, Master Socket and so on....done this so many times with Plusnet and past providers but thought it best to do it all again for the sake of the BT Customer Support.
They decide that it's a network fault and the Noise Margin was to high, a few tweaks on their end and my speed should increase in a day or two. The next day my speed was 2.1Mbps and hooray I could now play Xbox 360 online whilst others used the computers, something I could not do without lag when the speed was 0.8 and 1.4Mbps.
The very next day it was back down to 1.44Mbps and for the third time I had another online chat with BT. They suggested an engineer visit my property for which he did and changed out some internal wiring as he found some errors with my line. After he done his bits and bobs my speed decreased to 1.1Mbps, but he said he had to visit the cab outside to alter some things and then notify the exchange and my speed would increase dramatically in the next 48 hours.
The next day the speed was 1.8Mbps slowly dropping through out the day back to 1.2Mbps and stayed like that until I contacted BT for a 4th time. They ran a few tests and my speed increased but only to 1.44Mbps and this I was told was the best they could do. They advised my not to contact them again in regards to the line speed as this was the fastest I would ever get and they could no longer raise a fault with my line.
So here I am stuck with a measly 1.44Mbps wishing I was back with Plusnet, If I attempt to play online with any Xbox 360 game it is fine until someone in the house uses a computer, even to check their emails, the lag is terrible, my wife and kids are complaining about the internet speed, I have tweaked the computers for the fastest connection possible. Even when I don't go online with the Xbox 360, we still have slow connection when two people are using the computers at the same time.
I have the Xbox update with new dashboard and I also have the Lovefilm, 5OD, 4OD and youtube apps, works great when not using anything else, in fact love film states you can stream movies to 3 devices the same time, but this slow connection basically ties the whole of my family to use one device at a time, a shame really when we all like to do different things sometimes.

It's been like this since install in early November, as my post states they did up my speed to just over 2mbps but it lasted one day and went back to 1.44Mbps. When the engineer came out he change some wiring for me just to be sure and said there were no errors or problems at me end, then the speed dropped to 1.2Mbps on his own device. I then complained again later that day and it went up to 1.7 ish and dropped back to my usual speed of 1.44, a speed that enables only one family member at a time to use any device, but can all use the net if we visit a basic text website with no pictures or flash.
Our PC's and Laptops, Netbooks are all Dual Core, Windows 7 with huge drives and lots of Ram, not that this matters at this time because the engineer tested his own equipment via the master socket.
If I read Sky news then nobody can play Xbox online or stream Lovefilm, Youtube, BBC iPlayer or use any other computer without dreadful lag and slow speed. The speed can cope fine with all over the above when only one person uses it.
My neighbour is with Supanet and he uses his pc upstairs whilst his wife uses her laptop and their son plays online via Xbox 360 all at the same time, his speed is 2.6 at the moment and he lives next door to me?
My other neighbour on the otherside of me has Talk Talk and they get 2.3Mbps...I mean Talk Talk gives them that speed? That truly is amazing for them but forget about BT matching any such speed, they can't even match the speeds I previously had with Plusnet and I thought they were slow

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.

Hi karnack1,
Thank you for your question and I am happy to help you. I understand that you have tried a few remedies for internet speed on Windows 7 in Firefox for Desktop. In order to better assist you can you please mention what was tried and if you are using a proxy or not, as well as a firewall or antivirus. Thank you.

Why is my internet speed slower on my 4g iPod touch compared to my 1g iPad (Wifi only), though we use the same router?

i bought my 4g iPod touch just 3 months ago fromt the US. Internet speed was just fine and working consistently while i was using a d-link router.
my Wi-Fi network is password protected and since has not affected the speeds on my pc or my iPad (wifi only). However, just 4 weeks ago, i bought a new router, an Aztec one. That has not improved or worsened the speeds on my pc or iPad, but worsens only my iPod touch, even though it says its connected and has a full signal strength.
Here are the symptoms:-
1. iMessage is now really slow as after i click send, the loading bar at the top lags.
2. i can't go on to google or any site or app that involves internet connection e.g. Facebook, Twitter
3. I can't purchase or get apps from the App store as the searching takes way too long.
4. Now as i pull down the notifications bar, it shows temperature but no stock; i can't even access the Stocks app
5. I can see the temperature for the day on the notifications, but i cant see the details for the rest of the week like i was able to
6. I now cant read any updated emails on Mail as it takes way too long
I live in a country called Brunei, and speeds are the worst there, yet they shouldn't be this slow especialy when my friends and other devices are working.
So, what's wrong? Is it my new router?

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Why is my second computer's (wireless) internet speed slower than my 'base' computer's (non-wireless)?

My son has a Macbook that he uses in another room of our house. The router is at my desk, and is wired to my desktop MacMini. Why should his internet speed be slower than mine? Is there a remedy such as switching providers or routers?

According to the manual for the router you said you have, the maximum supported speed is 22 Mbps for 802.11b and 54Mbps for 802.11b/g - since that MacBook supports 802.11a/b/g/n, 54Mbps is the best case scenario if it's negotiating an "g" connection or 22Mbps if it gets a "b" type connection. So what is your internet connection speed? And that 22/54Mbps is best case - depends on how many wall and other obstructions it goes thru by the time it gets to his MacBook.
If he holds down the Option key and clicks on the WiFi icon in the title bar he should see what type of connection his MacBook has negotiated with the router. For example here is what mine shows (the connection type is listed as a 802.11/g, 2.4GHz, 54Mbps, channel 11, 20 MHz, etc):
Another thing to try and make a quick measure of the speed between his MacBook and the local router and your Mini is copy a big file from your computer to his. That will give you a good idea of the speed of his wireless connection to the router.
Good luck...

Wireless internet speeds slower after upgrading from 10/2 to 50/25?? Using olders revision Mi424WR.

We have been using the oldest version/revision of the Actiontec Mi424WR router provided by verizon for 3+ years. Recently we upgraded from an outdated 10/2 internet plan to our current 50/25 wireless plan. The speeds when wired are fantastic, but with wireless, on multiple computers the speed even right next to the router hovers at about 10mbps. I understand about the degradation and limit of wireless signals, but we should absolutely be getting higher download speeds than 10mbps(~1Mb/s). On our older 10/2 mbps plan our devices were receiving consistant download speeds of higher than we are getting now, maxing out at 1.6Mb/s usually. The only change that has been made recently is we reset the router to fatory settings, leading me to believe that wireless settings that were in place before are no longer there and throttling wireless speeds. I do not expect to get the full 50+ mbps speed that I am getting from wired, but I do expect my wireless speeds to be consistent with our upgraded plan(let alone slower than our massively slower old plan). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should definetely get better speeds even with an older router, upto about 20 or so.
If that works for you, then it's probably just a little wireless interference.
you can change that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1
user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply. after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File. It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

Fast Mac write speeds, slow XP write speeds

Just got a new 1Tb TC and it works great on both my Macs and my one XP gaming rig except for one flaw, the XP box (with Gigabit ethernet) is painfully slow writing to the TC disk. A 40Mb file took more than five minutes to write on XP while a 700Mb file took under a minute on the Mac side. I thought it might have something to do with the file system setup on the TC, but when I look at the disk properties in Explorer it shows up as a Fat32 drive. I know almost nothing about networking Windows machines, so I'm forced to think it has something to do with that, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Same problem except add slow read times to XP as well.
I had hoped to us the TC as a media store for a combination of XP, Leopard, and Xbox devices.
Happy with how the backups are working but very disappointed that the TC doesn't seem to be able to serve 3MB music files to XP in under a couple minutes.
Seems like a bug and is ridiculous. Apple a quick firmware fix please!!!

Internet Speed slowed to 56k when i get home from work.

From 6pm pacific to 11 pm every night my internet is very erratic. going from 0-1mbps. When i use the tech support they always accelerate the issue and tell me i will get a call from someone else. Everytime i tell the tech support they have to call me after 6pm pacific time. The tech say ok they will call me after 6pm. I then about a week later have always gotten a call back at 3 pm during my work hours. Then they tell me there is nothing wrong with my internet its looking fine. I cant talk to them because im at work and tell them to call me back after 6. They usually say ok and i dont get a call back. WHen the tech support do there scripted testing it always shows im getting the right amount of speed but im still getting a download speed thats compatible to 56k.

Slow Internet Speed after Leopard

I'm having a funny problem since the installation of Leopard and that is very slow internet browsing speed. But its not as simple as it sounds. I have another Windows PC on the same network; when its on mac internet speed is slow, when Windows PC is off the Mac internet speed if fast and normal.
I'm not alone in this problem. I read similar problems on Apple Gazette after installing Leopard. Any suggestions?

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6039643#6039643
Had to search for it. I'm having the same problem as you see by my post in this forum. I hope this works for me. I also happen to be in South Carolina. Small world.

IMac & Macbook running slower than a Windows computer

Hello all, I need some help with my apple products. I spend half my day messing with the internet to try and get it going instead of sitting there with a blank look on its face. They freeze up to an extent. I generally can always close out Safari, shut off the wifi, then turn wifi on and safari will work somewhat better sometimes. Here is the Etre report for both the iMac and MacBook. Also on the MacBook report, I was digging around in my system report and found something that made me think it might be bad so i have included it as well. Please help me and keep me from wasting half my day every day. Thanks. There is several extra lines after the Macbook report that came from my system report. I don't know if it is pertinent or not but I feel like it is. I wasn't sure what to leave out so I just put it all in, sorry for the long post.
Note----- I took out the logs that were from the previous address I lived at. Just included from when I moved into new house.
THIS IS FOR THE iMac
Problem description:
Ever since I moved into this new house my apple computers have slowed down to granny speed and sometimes they just sit there and stare at you. I have an iMac from 2011, a mac book pro 2014, iPhone 6, iPhone 4s, and to top it off a windows computer that is used for graphic software. I have 2 TV’s that we use as well. My internet and cable are provided by ATT and at my old house it worked great, no problems. I have had ATT out twice since install in January. They have given me a new modem, and a booster to help increase the reach of the wireless internet. My internet is supposed to be 18mbs download and for the life of me can’t think of the upload speed. When testing I usually have a 10 to 11 download and a 1.80 upload speed. I have ran verify disk, fix permissions so many times and that it is ridiculous. My iMac is used in the back room which is about 30 feet from modem, that is why they gave me the booster the 2nd time out. The macbook is used just whereever. The speed of the Mac’s is slower then the Windows computer. That ain’t right. I don’t download anything, I don’t go to crazy suspect sites. I have taken the iMac to apple store and they tested it and said it was fine. I have re-installed the O.S. (Yosimiteme 10.10.3). I just want my apples to work properly again.

Ok, I don't know what those drivers are for?????? I don't have a clue Here is what it looks like when I do the option thing. Hopefully its ok to post that. I went into system preference and went to network and DNS server as a ip number and search domains as attlocal.net not sure thats correct, but that is what my phone had. Anyway it started working good for a while now it is just going slow again. I don't have anything set up for the tab 802.1X and my proxies is blank in the protocol to configure (nothing checked( and I a have this *.local, 169.254/16 in the bypass proxy setting plus the use passive FTP box is checked. Maybe that will help some. I will look at the extensions and get rid of them, I thought I had already done that though. Ok, thanks for the input let me know if any of this helps or what I should do. Thanks again.

Close the lid very weak internet speed Open the lid great internet speed

I have my 13.3" MBP connected to a external display (23" ACD) using BT mouse/KB. With the lid cracked open I have GREAT internet speed, if I close the lid internet speed slows to a CRAW.
I have never had this problem before.
Here's what I tried:
Time Capsule (TC) reset (unplug)
TC changed several channels
TC Changed network to Mixed, and N (2.4GHz), N (5GHz)
TC checked Internet Robust
Reset Cable Modem (re-provisioned)
Checked with application iStumbler no problems with interference
BTW, I have 2 laptops and both do the same thing if connected to the 23" ACD in a room about 22 feet away from the TC. I also have a 24" ACD LED in another room that's about 5 feet away from the TC and do NOT have any of the problems described above with either MBP connected.
Internet Speedtest lid closed = 0.32 mbps download
Internet Speedtest lid open = 28.89 mbps download
http://www.speedtest.net/index.php?nojs=1
This is not just a flby. I've been testing and setting now for 2 hours with NO change.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Close the lid and prop the machine up on edge, so the display is in about the same position it would be in if it were open. Any difference?
None, no difference.
Applecare geniuses said it was the TC after 2 hrs of trouble shooting with him, he authorized a replacement. So Im on my way to the Apple store for a replacement, hopefully they will give me the 1,000GB one for the 500GB one I have. We'll see.

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.

Windows 7 internet speed is very slow.

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.4 and I recently installed Windows 7 by using my install disc and through Boot Camp. I have installed the lastest drivers for Windows through the Boot Camp. Everything was fine except the internet speed on the Windows. It took a long time to load webpages and all my messages on Skype were pending which probably points to the slow internet I am getting from my wireless device. On the other hand, the speed of my internet was fairly fast with a download speed of 500 - 700kb/s on the Mac OSX. My download speed is about 30-50 kb/s on Windows. Is there a problem with my Windows drivers or maybe my wireless just doesn't like Windows?
Thanks,
Chris

What level of speed and bandwidth does your ISP say you should get?
I would look at the modem, the age of the router, etc.
Are you on DSL? does not sound like cable.
Run a test, see what this shows and look at the ping in milliseconds.
http://speedtest.net/
It use to be, and I think is still true actually, that Windows has had faster I/O but it depends on your equipment and whether it is 'current' or not. Make and brand. Even if there are firmware updates or supported any longer.
Can you test with a wired connection? you have a tower, therefore it has two ethernet ports on the back, not a laptop. Distance and interference.
Get your ISP - see if they have forum, phone support is often a joke but forums can really provide help, whether your equipment is rented or not.

Windows 7 64 Bit Very VERY slow internet speed

I just bought two new laptops for my wife and I and we've been having terrible trouble with download speeds since taking them out the box.
We are using the exact same configuration and IP as before only our last two computers were on XP and Vista but there were no issues whatsoever. I even went and bought a new router just in case that was the problem but it made absolutely no difference, leaving
me with the conclusion its a problem with the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
Currently I cannot even watch a Youtube video because after loading the first couple of seconds, it stops loading and then after a couple of minutes there's a quick burst of speed and stops again.
I can't complete a speed test on my connection on either laptop. Normally this would take only a few seconds but the site (speedtest.net) crashes every time using windows 7.
Setup;
Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i3 2310M @ 2.1Ghz
4Gb of RAM
My IP is VirginMedia UK on a 10Mb connection (same problem wired or wireless)
As you can imagine this is very frustrating since I have just paid out over £1000 to find my browsing experience has virtually at a stand still.
Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated

I recently had the same problem after installing Windows 7 64bit. The internet speed for some reason was really slow. After looking for a solution I tried to flush the DNS. It worked.
Open start menu
type "cmd" in the search then hit enter key
when the new screen opens type:
ipconfig /release
hit enter and then type
ipconfig /flushdns
hit enter and then type
ipconfig /renew
hit enter and the problem is solved.
