Now experiencing slow and laggy broadband. What's ...

Anyone else experiencing sluggish speeds as of yesterday afternoon? I can't even stream lowest quality youtube videos smoothly. I've tried both wired and wireless connections with the same result.
This was the BT speed test before and now with this current slow problem.

Notice the download normal speed (6684Kbps) and current speed now (173Kbps). It's appalling! Did someone decide to downgrade my IP profile from 7444Kbps to 252Kbps?
Please fix this problem. Thank you.

john46, thanks for your reply. That's a long wait in this day and age. Also I've just now turned on power save, should I disable it?
My experience with BT broadband has been quite disappointing and unsatisfactory so far and I haven't even passed the 1 month anniversary yet. I really wasn't expecting my broadband service to be so poor. The only time it worked properly without hiccups was my first week. Since then, there's just been too many daily connection drops outs and now this massive slow down in speed doesn't help. I really cannot recommend this service to anyone given my unsatisfactory experience thus far.
I was with another large broadband provider for over 2 years before very recently moving to BT and I never had as much as a squeak of a problem.

Slow and laggy broadband!

I have had sky for a while now however its suddenly become very annoying and slow. I have searched and searched the internet to try find solutions and how to get better connections and speed however none have worked! If anybody has an idea that is making my broadband slow and laggy could you please reply
Thanks jonny...

I have replied to your other post but in cae you miss it then you need to post your router stats if you want the forum users to try and help(there are no Sky staff here to offer assistance).

N97 now so slow and laggy & cant access photo albu...

All of a sudden my N97 is now laggy beyond belief and I cant use it hardly, its just so slow and is freezing and doing all sorts now. Ive had it 3 months with no worries. Plus I cant seem to access the photo album, I press captured images and it does nothing, summats not right big style.
Im on the old version of the fimware that the phone came from Vodafone with, how can I update the firmware via my pc as I beleive there is a new version then what I have which is 10. summat. Thing is when I try update on the phone it says no updates found but there has been one, so how else can I update the firmwar to see if that helps, or anyone any other ideas thanks, I am in the UK

There are some things you can do to manage the C memory better/phone memory.
1. Clear your browser cache often
2. set different message allocation ( if you have not done so already)
messaging- options- settings- other ( set it to 999, and e memory)
3. Go to OVI store (app on your phone) and change that memory allocation for most apps.
opitons- account- settings- installation preferences
4. Remove Facebook, Accu Weather, Bloomberg, apps from the C drivve and reinstall them via OVI store and place them in the E memory/mass memory
NOTE: If you are using Nokia Messaging application, it can only store data on the C drive so keep that in mind
NOTE: RAM is another issue with N97. Don't keep too many apps running at the same time as it will run out of RAM and either close all applications on the spot or crash the phone and result in restart.
BETTER RAM management : Here are some things to consider
also consider investing in the best taskman 1.99$ in the ovi store or y browser (free) to manage your ram and all the apps that are runnig on the phone that you might want to close if you are not using them.
http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
now y browser is free, it has a great amount of stuff you can do with it, but it is not as easy to use as best taskman and it does not look so pretty- that is if you care about looks over function.

Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Macbook Pro mid-2012 Slow, and laggy

My Macbook has been running slow, and laggy aswell. I don't know whats wrong with it. I took my Macbook to the store where I bought it to see if they could fix it. After 4 days in the warehouse I came to take it back, and they said that we didn't find anything wrong with the hardware, but something with the software. They said that I had to reinstall it, but they couldn't cuz it was not included in the insurance. When I came back home, I did a backup, erased everything, and did a fresh install of Mavericks(took 1 day cuz it was slow and laggy). When My macbook reinstalled the problem was still there. It was much better before the reinstallation, but still a little slow. I also ran disc utility but it affect the problem. I also have another probelm is when I put my macook in sleep, I close the lid and then it gets hot, like if I'm playing a game or something which I don't. The light is turned off when I'm using my mac, it gets a little dim when I put my Mac to sleep with the lid open. When I close the lid the light gets bright and it shows the pulse like pattern at random points. I had to turn my mac off cuz I take it to school, and when I take it out from my bag its hot like a fry pan. The overheat also affects my battery life time in a high degree. I had 80% when I closed the lid and put it in my bag, and it got 22% when I took it out. I also did some search up with no luck so I hope you guys can help me, please, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

What about the problem when I close the lid it starts getting hot, like the processor is working at its limits???
Run an Apple Hardware Test, that may develop a clue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Also what about the caches, because it was written that it can slow down mac's performance if they are corrupted, and I don't know if the are corrputed.
One eliminates that as a possibility by cleaning them. A Safe boot will do that. Also look in the 'Safe Mac' link, the last entry titled "Clear Caches".

Can somebody diagnose why my new MacBook Pro is so slow and laggy?

I just bought this MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) a month ago and it had been performing very well until last night. I tried to stream a hockey game through Chrome and the browser crashed. I didn't think it was a serious issue at first; I tried to force quit Chrome but everything just slowed down even more. Eventually I just shut it down by holding the power button, hoping that it would be fine once I started it back up.
But it wasn't fine. It took forever to boot up, and once it did, everything was slow and laggy. There is delay using the trackpad and keyboard, applications are taking ages to open and sometimes won't respond, the color wheel is popping up for minutes at a time, etc. It even seems like the internet itself is slowed down; I've tried different browsers in different locations of varying internet connections and they've all been very slow to load pages. It's like the whole machine suddenly caught the flu or something.
I tried disk utility, but it says there's no problems. The activity monitor doesn't show any significant CPU usage, and even after I cleaned the caches for Safari and Chrome, all the problems still persist. I thought it might have caught a virus or some kind of malware, but I've been told that's highly unlikely. Could it have something to do with Chrome or Flash (I was trying to update the latest Flash plug-in or something before the browser crashed)? Like I said, the machine's fairly new, so not much of the RAM is used up. Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

See if you can find some answers here:

Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering. It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem. It's not the internet speed as checked that.

Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering. It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem. It's not the internet speed as checked that. I took my old router upstairs and was streaming TV via my ipad seamlessly - the same program via the TC was constantly buffering.
I just expected to be able to plug in the TC, so a simple set-up and experience wireless both upstairs and downstairs in my house. For some reason the range is low and speed veru disappointing.
I am far from being an IT expert but I would welcome advice about setting up this TC so we can enjoy the product as it was designed. Please HELP!

No silver bullet........but my suggestions may drive you in the right direction.
1. Unplug the power cable from the TC and wait 10-15 minutes before powering back up.   Seriously wait!
      Proceed to #2 if this dosen't help.
2. Unplug the power cable from the TC, ubplug the power cable from your Broadband Modem (assuming it's a cable modem), disconnect ethernet, and cable from modem.
2a. Wait 10-15 minutes then re-connect cable, ethernet, and power back to modem (your modem should power up unless you have a power switch) wait for all the modem lights to come on EXCEPT activity.
2b. Connect ethernet from modem to TC, and plug in the power cable to TC.
      Proceed to #3 if this dosen't help.
3. Reconfigure the TC.........Read here........http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
All really simple to do....if you need additional help let me (us) know.

Captivate 5 Trial Insanely Slow and Laggy

Hello
I have recently been tasked with evaluating Adobe Captivate 5 for our company. I downloaded and installed the trial and have looked through the tutorials. However, I've noticed that the interface is ridiculously slow and laggy when using the software. And I mean PAINFULLY slow. For example, I'll open up a new project template, and simply inserting an image placeholder or text placeholder and dragging into the position I want it on the canvas takes 5-10 seconds. I'll drag my mouse to where I want it, then I'll have to wait 5 seconds before the object is actually moved. Meanwhile, the program is completely unresponsive. Honestly it feels as if I'm running this software on a Pentium 486. This only happens when doing any sort of operation on the canvas. I can navigate the menus at normal speed.
Is this program supposed to be this laggy/unresponsive? It is insanely frustrating to use, in fact, I wouldn't even deem it usable in this state...
PC Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50 GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia Quadro NVS 290
Windows XP Pro with SP3 and all updates
I use Photoshop all the time, and it runs beautifully. So do all other programs. I can't explain why Captivate would be so horribly laggy?

Definitely odd! Not a good way to start a product trial, that's for sure.
In any case, I ended up installing it on another computer that was relatively untouched in terms of software (only basic stuff installed, compared to my machine). And it worked basically how I expected it to, very smooth with no interface lag.
So that begs the question, what is installed on my workstation that causes Captivate to go nuts? It's ONLY Captivate too. I can have JUST Captivate open, or I could have 20 other programs open, and no matter what it lags like crazy when I do anything in it. Even switching between programs or pulling up the start menu takes several seconds when going from Captivate to something else. Whereas if I'm in any other program (including Photoshop CS5), Windows responds with its normal swiftness.
I've already uninstalled several video editing programs and other software, with no luck. I guess next to try is my AV software...

Remote Desktop to netbook very slow and laggy

Remote Desktop to netbook over local ethernet is very slow and laggy. Netbook is Atom N280 with 2GB RAM and GPU with WDDM 1.0 driver. On Windows 7 all works fine even with an Aero Glass enabled for remote session. Now DWM consumes 10 to 25% permanently
so I think it's a DWM problem. Network traffic is only up to 6Mb/s over 100Mbit LAN connection. Is there a way to connect to Windows 8 netbook useful way?

Hi, sorry for my late reply but I didn't get notification about your post. I tried these settings and it is laggy same way. I read on Internet desktop composition in Windows 8 is always enabled regardless of RDP client settings. Display adapter is Mobile
Intel 946 Express Chipset Family. I tried to install Standard VGA driver, but it is also very slow. I'll try clean install to VHD now to avoid any 3rd party software impact.
Edit: I tried and it's slow even after a clean install.
Edit2: It is an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family.

Slow and laggy, tool bar too large

Annotation very slow and laggy draw speed when using s pen for Samsung note 4. Tool bars are too large on this device, taking too much space that I can't annotate properly

When you say toolbars are too large, are they taking more space then the top toolbar?
Can you please share the snapshot of the device when toolbar is taking too much space. It will help us in understanding the issue better.
Thanks

Slow and laggy scrolling when using a touchscreen, any fix for this?

I'm using FF on a touchscreen "flip" laptop and scrolling is choppy and laggy!
In IE11/Chrome/Opera12&20 it's smooth. Any one know how to fix this, I've tried the SmoothWheel and YASM add-ons and they only made things worse.
IE, Chrome and Opera is like browsing and scrolling on a HTC One m8/iPhone5s and FF feels like using my old Nokia 5800 from 2008.
FF have a lot of customization features that Chrome and Opera 20 doesn't have and Opera 12 is no longer being upgraded/supported, so I would like to be able to continue using FF.

I have, it was just showing up because I hadn't rebootet after upgrading from 12 to 13. I have tried booting FF in safe mode, with and without hardware acceleration & smooth scrolling. Scrolling (horizontally and vertically) and zooming is still slow and laggy.
I tried FF 28.0 Beta with the Metro(Modern) mode, and thats nothing I'll use, at least until you can use plug-ins/add-ons. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro not RT.

Is it me or did everyone's ipod get slow and laggy with ios 5? Does anyone know a fix?

Upgrade to 2.0.2 made my iPhone 3G slow and laggy

Since I downloaded the new firmware, my phone has been really slow and laggy, anything I can do about it?

Not alot you can do I dont think. 3G decreases network reception and drains power but you can turn it off. Edge does make the internet perk up a bit sometimes believe it or not.
If you are having any issues with the applications crashing there may be a potential work around

Io6 update lost Youtube in my iPad and is really slow and Facebook is slow and don't what to upload photo

io6 update lost Youtube in my iPad and is really slow and Facebook is slow and don't what to upload photo the iPad is slow to.

Youtube is no longer integrated with iOS. You can download the app fromt he app store.. it's designed for iPhone... but states that it works with iPad.
As for running slow... trying holding down the power and home button at the same time for 10 seconds to do a hard reset.
Also.. if you double tap your home button it will bring up a small window across the bottom of your screen... this is called the multitasker.
Hold your finger one of the apps til they jiggle... then tap the red minus button to kill the app. If you kill them all this should help your ipad run alot faster.
Good luck

Now experiencing slow and laggy broadband. What's ...
