Re: Very slow connection - again

Can i use proxy server in order to connect fast?

If it is the connection itself that is slow, a proxy server certainly won't help.
The proxy will only help if it happens that there is fast routing BT->proxy and proxy->end site, but slow routing BT->end site.
Slow browsing etc can be down to poor DNS, try changing your DNS settings.

Very slow connection after phone line repair

I had my phone line repaired yesterday with new cabling and new BT box for phone and computer.My phone is fine, but the hub for my broadband does not appear to be ok. the phone symbol on the hub did not light up at all this morning, and after restarting the hub and going back to default settings it is now glowing orange only. It was ok yesterday after being fixed. Very slow connection now. Should i keep everything on to see if it will right itself, or re-start yet again?
I have been looking on BT's options for fixing but can't seem to find anything. the connections in my area are fine so it can't be an outside fault

Which home hub do you have? Did you recently re-contract or change your package, as that will affect your hub phone.
As for the speed issue, it should get better if you leave it alone.

Very SLOW connection - 5 mbps download

Since November, 2014, I've been experiencing very slow connection.
Redlands, CA 92373
5 mbps download 30 mbps upload
Called the call center 5 times. Each time, just a bunch of rebooting the router & speedtest.net checking
A new Verizon router was installed and didn't improve anything.
Technician 1 visited and mentioned that there is a network hardware problem in the area and many people called in for slow connection issues. The technician rebooted the ONT box and said if the speed goes down again, the ONT box should be replaced. The speed went down as soon as the technical left.
Technician 2 visited and replaced the ONT box. Later that day, the speed went down to 5 mpbs for download.
It's so slow at the time of writing this that Facebook page is rendered with texts only.
Are there anyone from Redlands, CA area who have been experiencing the slow connection for a while?
I don't want to call in again to go thru another around of 1 hour long rebooting / resetting the router and chekcing the speedtest.net exercises.
I feel I am being ripped off because I am paying for 75/75.
I'm running out of patience and am considering to switch to Timewarner.

Oh Man this things popping out of everywhere!!!!!!!

Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
Thanks,
JJ

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Help : very slow connection speed with AEBS and iMac

I connect to the internet using my newly purchased AEBS. I have a MacBook and an 24" iMac ( purchased in Nov 2007). My iMac showed very slow connecting speed of <1 MB/s download; with my MacBook placed just 1 foot from my iMac, the MacBook showed an amazing download speed of 20MB/s. If i connect the iMac to the AEBS using ethernet cable, it can get a very high speed.
So, where is the problem??
I am new to wireless, please help. I use iMac more than my MacBook at home.
Actually, i did not touch the any of the advance setting of the AEBS.

You know, I am experiencing the same problem. My wife's PC and iPhone are blazing fast, but my MacBook is accessing the internet at about dial-up speeds. Very frustrating and I haven't yet found the culprit.
Anyone???

ARD 3.7.2 very slow connection on Lan

I'm running ARD 3.7.2 on MacBook Air (OSX 10.9.2) to connect mac mini (8gb / osx 10.9.2) very slow connection on LAN.
Mini connected to LAN 100Mbit Ethernet, MacBook connection is wi-fi

Ok, I solved it after doing some extensive Google searching. Still not sure why ARD went bonkers, but here's my fix.
1. Download the ARD 3.7.1 client drom the Apple downloads page and install it manually on the client machine.
2. Go back to the administrator machine and delete the computer client from the computers list.
3. From the scanners list, find the now visible client machine (it will probably say "no user name or password" next to it) and drag it to the computer list.
4. When you drag it over it will ask for the username and password. Fill in an administrator user name and password for that computer, click OK and you're done.
Still a mystery as to why ARD software itself will not create new client packages. I still haven't figured that part out. Downloading the standard client package from Apple is the only work around I know of so far. Good luck.

Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brian

I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
(I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory. Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol. I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

Very slow connecting to WRTU54G-TM... Any ideas?

I am trying out T-Mobile's VOIP phone service which uses a Linksys WRTU54G-TM wireless router. When I attempt to connect to the WRTU54G-TM, it takes over a minute before it connects. I also have a Linksys WRT54G router which always connects in just a few seconds. The settings on the two are identical. Anyone know what the problem is? Other than the connection time, it works ok. Thanks

I'm having the same issue as well as very slow internet (from 4.5Mbps with wrt54g down to .5Mbps with wrtu54g-tm)
only setting that I can find different is the wrt54g is set to "gateway" mode and wrtu54g-tm is set to "router" mode.
I'm trying MAC cloning from the old wrt54g I'll let you know if that helps, however ISP says it shouldn't matter

Very slow internet again

Internet is very very slow, I know my location is quite far away from the exchange but this is just silly.
Just ran a speed test:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 41 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 100-250 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1280 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 357 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 448 Kbps
I have tried the obvious, resetting the router, checking the connections, checking for problems in my area and changing the filers but nothing seems to help.
The master socket is Openreach NTE5
Any help would be good
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Welcome Your IP Profile has dropped because of a noise issue on your line causing the exchange equipment to see your line as unstable normally the profile will rise within a period of 3/5 days providing there are no restarts on your hub all you can do is wait while the exchange equipment restores your profile

Very slow connection between macs

Hello,
I am on a huge corporate network (close to 1,000 workstations). Of course,only 2 of them are Macs. We are both able to use the network with no problems EXCEPT when we try to move files between the 2 Macs. Then, the usually very fast connection becomes unusably slow. A 30 second file transfer ends up being 4 or 5 minutes, which makes it useless for larger files.
Any ideas as to what I should lok at?
Thanks!

It's difflicult. Things in brackets are optional. The main thing is to start your url with smb: Then there are two items which rarely get used anymore so we usually see only the slashes. The only other thing which is required is the name of the PC you want to connect to. So if you wanted to connect to a PC named WILLIE the minimal url would be:
smb://WILLIE
That's probably not enough to authenticate, so you'll probably need a user and password. If your username (on the PC) is death and the password is salesman then the url would be:
smb://death:salesman@WILLIE
Then there's the workgroup. If the PC is in the workgroup LOMAX the url would be:
smb://LOMAX;death:salesman@WILLIE
and finally, if you wanted to name the share, add it to the end. So to mount the share MILLER, you'd enter:
smb://LOMAX;death:salesman@WILLIE/MILLER

Very slow connection with db2 ver 9.1 client on win2000

I have been having difficulty in diagnosing why when after installing db2 9.1 fp5 client on our wind2000 box which has Crystal Embedded 10 RAS ( service pack 6 ) running, the reports that i am invoking using the Java SDK ( we have an online J2ee web application ) are very slow. I have narrowed the problem area down to where the java sdk is trying to set the table location.
Using the db2 7.1 client since 2005, we have not had this issue. We must upgrade to ver 9.1 db2 since this is being done at an enterprise level. I upgraded our test server to 9.1 and noticed this slowness. With the 7.1 db2 client and the same RAS server, the reports take about 2 or 3 seconds but with the 9.1 client the reports take about 40+ seconds each and this is always as the setTableLocation method. Once is goes through this, the rest runs fine.
I have tested this with a local db2 datbase on windows, a remote db2 database 3000 miles away ( same as with what the 71 client runs against) and it is consistently the same response time.
I did notice that if I ran my java online on the same server as the RAS server, the response time is great. This only seems to be happenning when the java app is not on the same server as the RAS server.
I also have a java stub that does not run in a web container. in this case, with the same code and the same databases, whether i am local or remote from the crystal server, the response time is 40+ seconds to connect.
The .rpt files are developed via Crystal Reports 10 and we develop on a local database and we modify the database credentials throught the SDK as we deploy upto production. I have also tried this with the same database we developed with and the same 40+ seconds connect time.
All of these scenarios work fine with the 7.1 client.
so it seems there is some connection issue with the 9.1 client only.
Need help urgently.

I have exactly the same issue.

Very slow connection even after upgrading firmware router WRT54G2 v1.5

Hi,
My connection is very very slow, even after upgrading firmware of a router WRT54G2 v1.5. I use a Mac, and Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I have also re-set the router and configured but it didn't work. Any other alternative to speed up my connection? Thanks!!

On the setup page,reduce the MTU to 1400,Under the Wireless tab..Wireless Network mode should be mixed...Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box.Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304.
Now,reboot the router and check...

Very slow connection with WRT54GS.

It appeared out of nowhere 2 days ago... slow connection for websites, very high latency for online games to a point where it's unplayable... i tried to reset my router, change channel(i'm usually at channel 6), moving the antennas... nothing. when i reset, the speed is fine for a few minutes, but after a while it's back to slow connection. My router isn't even 1 year old yet and it's already broken? I can't believe that, there must be some solution. Anyone can help please?

The latest firmware is 1.02.0 if you have wrt54gs v6 & V5 if yout got v7 the latest firmware is 7.50.0
First step you need to check is your direct connection from the modem.
1. hardwire your computer straight to the modem using a cat 5 ethernet cable, if your download speed and your internet connection is slow, the problem is with the modem or with your ISP so you need to call your ISP and double check your connection.
If your speed if fine straight to the modem then its with the router.
2.Hardwire your computer straight to the router if your speed is fine when its hardwired through the router, then the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless settings of the router.
In US the standard channel is 11,6 and 1. So play around with the channel. If its still doesnt work then access the setup page of your router click on the WIRELESS tab click on ADVANCE WIRELESS SETTINGS sub tab. set beacon interval to 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold to 2304.
After that turn off the modem the router and your computer for 1min. After a minute turn on the modem first after lights of your modem are steady, turn on the router and lastly turn on your computer, check your connection if its fine then its fixed if not call linksys tech support.
I hope this would help. Good Luck!

Very slow connection - cannot verify my speed?

I am experiencing extremely slow connection speeds at the moment - to the point of frustration and despair. I have BT infinity - unlimited and have tried all of the basic tests (turn off/ on etc.) I have just tried to perform a speed test for my area (which has been done in the past with no problems?). I am getting the message - you must have flash installed to continue this test - please install and try again. I am running the latest variation of flash (and have tried using the download link to adobe to update) but when I try again I get the same message? I am using an imac - running OS10.6.8
In the last few months there was a problem in my area that caused everything to slowdown - but this resolved itself - and I was able to check all speeds were opperating ok.
It is now so slow that it is unworkable?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
