My DL and UL speed so slow! What is it supposed to be?

It takes me over 4 hrs to download a single 700mb movie, This is crazy! When my mother lived 2 houses down I used her wifif and it took me 20 minutes TOPS.
My best speed I ever got was a download speed of 1.05 Mbps and my upload speed of 0.29 Mbps
Keep in mind this was the BEST speed I got and I tried over 50 times today. I usually don't even get a 1 in download speed and my upload speed 99% of the time is 0.20Mbps
I just don't know what I'm paying for? This is the reason why I never pay my bill in full because I feel like I'm getting ripped off. I could of sworn I was promised a 2.00 Mbps speed but I don't even come close to that.
I have regular Verion DSL (FIOS not available in my area)
Should I just dump Veriozn with this kind of speed? I heard Comcast maybe buying Charter Cable and that's my only other option. I can't get Charter Internet right now because I'm fighting them..It's a boring story it's basically someone lived in my apartment 8 years ago or even more and they had the same last name of me so Charter won;t give me service until I pay this persons bill and I'm not paying someones bill i don't even know..
So anyways is this kind of speed normal? Is this what people pay for? It seems kind of lame to pay this much for this kind of speed honeslty. I bet this speed is not far off from the old AOL dial up speed!

Please check MyVerizon or your bill for the name of the package you pay for, and report back. Verizon has two plans for DSL: High Speed Internet and High Speed Internet Enhanced. The first package offers speeds reaching a maximum of 1Mbps down, 384kbps up. The second package is supposed to offer anything with a maximum of 15Mbps down, 1Mbps up.
In addition, please report what DSL modem/gateway you are currently using, along with what router you have in use. I'd like to pull your modem's Transceiver Statistics so we can get an idea of how good the line is.
Given that ADSL is a technology that is slowly becoming the new dial-up, it's no surprise you're asking the question about how fast it is supposed to be. Generally, I moan and complain about anything less than 5Mbps when working on someone's computer. If the FCC has their way, "Broadband" may soon be defined as 24Mbps, something ADSL2+ really cannot deliver. The only thing capable of those speeds over a single line are VDSL/VDSL2, Fiber, and Coaxial/DOCSIS service. VDSL/VDSL2 is extremely distance limited - typically past 5,000ft out, it's useless for very fast speeds and ADSL2 makes more sense.

The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

IOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow.

iOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow compared to iOS6. This was proven with Safari and using speed test app.

I have exactly the same problem symptom ever since installing iOS7. Toggling the FaceTime or the LTE settings alleviated the problem until I installed the latest version on IOS (7.0.4- 11B554a). Now the bug is permanent, a Network Reset will not work anymore, a System Reset will work only for the first execution of Speedtest.
Looks like the network software is throttling LTE speed to the minimum (.50 Mbps) up/download speed no matter what. Now unlimited Data means nothing, maybe AT&T wants me to go to Verizon or Tmobile.
I reported this problem to AT&T Sept 26 when I first installed IOS7, they told me there was no problem really that I needed to wait for the LTE network congestion to go away...? Since I found a circumvention by toggling LTE I did not pursued the problem...
After reporting the problem again this morning, they sent me to the AT&T store to change the SIM card.... I will try this and report back if it fixes the problem... Although I doubt it will fix anything but burn and extra hour of my day. The AT&T rep said that if the new SIM card doesn't fix the problem I need to go to Apple for them to give me a new Iphone....???? I guess there are many iPhones gone bad after installing IOS7 (sarcasm).
If you have this same problem, please post here so that I am able to get back to AT&T with some leverage to get them to remove the choking of LTE. Basically, if everyone accepts the new low speeds, then, unlimited data is no longer a problem for this phone company.

Firefox startup and browsing speeds tediously slow.

I've repeatedly heard that FF is fast, but my experience is the opposite. I've tried fresh FF installations, fresh system installations, cleaning the registry, desktop, browser cache, etc. Nothing helps. Occasionally FF runs at a speed I find acceptable, but usually I wait several seconds for each page to load, and up to 25 seconds for FF to start.
If FF is fast for other users, can someone please suggest why it might not be fast for me?
FF 3.6.4, Win XP Home SP3, 1Gb RAM, 2.7 GHz CPU, 16 GHz + cable, virtually no installed software except Outlook 2003, word processing and outlining apps, and misc., e.g., Quicken.
I try to limit the number of open tabs to three or four, and the number of open apps to two or three. At the moment the only FF I have installed is Adblock Plus. Opera is fast. SlimBrowser is fast. I.e., given all the above, I cannot think of a logical reason FF should not be fast -- or at least reasonably so. Any ideas, please?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== If I recall correctly, FF 2.x was acceptably fast. Everything 3.x seems to run slower with each version.

Firefox seems to be getting flakier and flakier, and more and more bloated. I'm also having the problem that Firefox takes for ever to load on both my work and home PC.
I'm wondering if Mozilla are losing the plot a bit - Thunderbird is now virtually unusable if you have POP3 accounts (there are some work-rounds that would be completely baffling to any relatively new user), and Firefox is now slower than IE. These both used to be excellent apps.

I installed the new IOS 6.0.1 and my iphone is slow, what can I do?

I installed the new IOS 6.0.1 on our iphone 4s and they all run slower and choppy...there's lots of disk space left and i've tried reseting and restoring from the last back up. I strongly suspect the new OS. can I go back to the old one?

Here's the scoop...my settings indicated there was a new IOS available. I let the phone update yesterday and immediately noticed that it was slower. Today same thing, so I restored to a previous, successful back up and phone is still slow. Again, I strongly suspect the 6.0.1 but thanks anyway...

I restored my iPhone to factory settings and it said "Replacement needed" What does that supposed to mean?

So what am is supposed to do and why does it say that?

Try restoring it again in recovery mode.

Download and Upload speed too slow...

A friend of mine posted this on his Forum this morning, any thoughts...
My Mac at home is making me pull my hair out, is so slow in internet up and downloads that I can barely tolerate it. It's a late 2012 27" iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2 , 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i5 chip with 32 GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB Graphics card. By all accounts it has good hardware. I have been struggling with download speed for two months with this machine. On Verizon FIOS, with the newest Wi-Fi Router and it hangs on downloads all the time. Running Verizon speed tests I get:
28.3 Mbps download
43.79 Mbps upload
9 ms latency
This is in both Ethernet AND Wifi, either way I get the same approximate results each time
Now, I have a new Dell Laptop that is only two weeks old and here's what it does running the same speed test 2 seconds after the iMac is done and at the same spot in the house as the iMac:
58.12 Mbps download
82,05 Mbps upload
11 ms latency
Clearly the new little laptop is running nearly twice as fast. So it has to be either 1) hardware on the iMac, or 2) software on the iMac
To eliminate as many factors as I can, I wiped the hard drive clean on the iMac and did a clean install of the OS (Yosemite). It had no effect on speeds, which was very disappointing. So since there is nothing else I can think of to test, am I wrong to think its the operating system itself? It seemed to run faster on Snow Leopard.....much faster. I'm out of ideas - anyone have anything?

This issue was totally resolved with this week's Yosemite point release.

Infinity 2 up and down speed, very slow, huge ping...

Hello wonderful friendly people, i'm looking for a bit of help to narrow down the cause of the terrible internet connection I have.
I live in a flat in a new build block in Bristol, just moved in with the owner who has had a few different connections with different providers in the last few years but have always been really bad service. He is now paying for Infinity 2 but we experience massively varying internet speed, as low as 0.25 Mb and as high as 20Mb download, but upload seems to be a bit more stable.
Streaming netflix, downloading files and general browsing is somtimes OK, but mostly terribly slow. It seems the speed goes up and down constantly, hitting rock bottom very often. Playing games is an absolute nightmare. Ping as low as 5, then shoots up to 500 meaning we can't play at all.
In short, paying a lot for terrible internet. The connection is through the phone line, we have a Homehub 3 but with an ADSL modem, i'm not sure we should be paying for Infinity if it's going through ADSL though? I thought Infinity was only phone line for the last bridge between house and local cabinet?
I think the problem is with dodgy cabling in the flats. From my experience this is where the problem points to but I want to be sure before I go to BT and ask for them to fix their line problems.
Here are some results from the last few days from speedtest.net
Can anyone help me with tests I can do to find where the problems lie, i.e. ping tests, trace routes and the like?
Cheers!

Download speedachieved during the test was - 3.89 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 16 Mbps-77.43 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 77.43 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 6.77Mbps

Camera Raw 6.0 (and Lightroom 3) extra slow, what's happening ?

Hi,
I'm having a very annoying issue with both CR 6.0 and LR 3 which is a very slow responsiveness in the photo previews.
A month ago, I was using Windows XP SP3 32bit on my machine (Intel Core Duo Q6600 (4x2.57Ghz cores) - 4Gb RAM). I had Photoshop CS4 with Camera Raw 5.x and Lightroom 2. Everything was very smooth.
Then, I moved to Windows Seven 64bit and CS5 with CR 6 and LR 3.
Now, I have exacly the same issue I had before bying my current 4 core PC, which is :
in Camera Raw, even scrolling the left thumbnails part is extremely slow (rendeing of image thumbnails), and appying the slightest change of a slider (even basic ones) takes about a second and sometimes two seconds to be applied to the image preview. Quite painful to use !
Same applies to adjustments and thumbnails in LR 3.
The thing is, the behaviour occurs even with Canon EOS 300D RAW files which are only 6 Megapixels !
I didn't try to go back to LR2 and CS4 to check yet, but well, looks quite surprising since LR3 was supposed to be a lot faster and responsive.
As it is a clean install, I have the latest set of video drivers (it's a ATI Radeon X4800).
Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this ?
Thanks !

Just out of curiosity, what was so awfully penalizing reponsiveness in ACR 6.0 ?
And, does Lightroom use the same internal 8bi plugin file to do the processing or do I have tu update Lightroom separately to get the responsiveness back ?
I don't know what they did, but I assume they rewrote some of the code which deals with some of the new process calculations and previewing, to be more processor-efficient.
Lightroom doesn't use the plug-in, as far as I know. I'd guess that would need a separate update. I haven't got it. You could tell us if it's any faster.

I have reset firefox earlier today and its still running slow what do I do.

Firefox is running slow and I can't get it to improve any. So what can I do.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Download and Upload Speeds Very Slow

I have been having problems with my download speeds they are very sluggish only transferring at 12 kb/s and I know that the problem is not with my laptop as I have tried to download something off my ps3 and the connection just seemed to time out this has become very stressful as I have contacted BT and they have found not wrong with my telephone line, I have tried everything to try and solve this issue but all has failed. Please may someone suggest something. Download speed: 176.89 Kbps (0.17 Mbps) Upload Speed: 743 Kbps (0.73 Mbps)

Firefox keeps crashing on me every day at least two or three and it is very slow - what can I do to stop this??

When I turn on my laptop computer to use it, it crashes on me every day at least two or three times before I can use it.
Also, it is very slow such as when I want to scroll down my e-mail list. It stops and shows "loading" for a long period of time so I can't get to my older e-mails.
I didn't know that I was to keep the crash ID when I send crash reports.

Replaced HH5 with ECI and now speeds very slow - w...

I have just put in a Bt openreach modem FTTC VDSL ECI B-FOCUS V - 2FBU/R RTV. B to replace the HH5.
My speeds have gone from 38/7 to 9/1 - is there something I have done wrong?
Solved!

Hi
Unfortunately the eci/r version of the openreach modem is not working with bts new retransmission stuff (g.inp)
For now the hg612 3b* is the only openreach modem to consider using until bt openreach get a handle on the problem.
