Slow Broadband connection (not having to do with ISP)
My LAN connection is slower than should be and I'm SURE it is not ISP related
because when I tried to connect with a laptop PC the connection speed was almost double the one I had on the Mac.
I've heard about broadband tuner but I'm not running 10.4 Tiger so cannot use that also I'm not sure that may serve my problem well.
I can tell you that one thing I noticed is that right after starting the computer when I try to download something the connection speed starts at the normal level (around 600Kbit) and then slows down dramatically). Then if I try downloading something else the download speed is the same slow one I got to after the initial download (hope this makes sense). If not, I'll try to be more clear in my new post.
Please help.
I've been having a really similar problem... the problem for me is that connecting to the internet not only slows down the internet connection, it makes my whole computer really sluggish. Programs take forever to open, and I get the multi-colored spinning wheel of death for minutes at a time. I've tested it, and my connection is very fast with my PC laptop, and my iMac is fine opening programs until I plug in the ethernet cable.
Once I do connect to the internet, it usually takes about 15-30 seconds to open the main page of a website, but then I can navigate different links on that website at normal speed. However, if I switch to a totally different website, it's back to taking forever to open.
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm running 10.3.9 on an iMac. Any help would be appreciated... this connection speed is absolutely killing me!

I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs
I'm not having any trouble with the iPhone, but the iPad is a different story. It pairs & syncs but hardly any sound or volume comes out of the Bose. Yes, the volume is turned up, it is synced & paired, but almost a whisper comes out. Anyone have any ideas? I assume it's the iPad since the phone works fine.... Help!
Thanks. We went to Best Buy, where we bought our phones and altho we thought we were "seeding" the ear buds far enough, we were not. There's that extra little "click" and they were in! So, they work well enough for our old ears. But, thanks for your input!

Is anybody NOT having a problem with G2 touch's WiFi connection?
I am disappointed that after eagerly anticipating the "Lets Rock" event and the release of a new iPod Touch, with the intention of purchasing one now, it seems that from this and other forums there is a major problem with the WiFi on the Gen 2. There are several threads reporting that the new G2 Touch will not connect to the internet via WiFi using WPA secure networks and this is putting me of buying at the moment which is very frustrating.
However, before I am aware that people often only post here if they are having problems with an Apple product and not if they are not, so before casting judgement and deciding not to buy I would like to know whether this issue is affecting all of the new G2 Touch's.
So...is anyone NOT having any WiFi problems and finding that they are able to connect easily to WPA/2 secured networks and routers?
I hope so as I was so looking forward to getting a Touch, but I won't yet if there is a definite fault with the G2.have had no repies as yet so i thought of a new approach , thus i also cannot connect to my linksys54gs router (no problem with psp or xbox) and would like some help /advise from those in the know,after tapping blue arrow for wifi and choosing the regognised network my touch asks for ip address
subnet mask
router
dns
search domain
http proxy off/manual/auto
server
port
authentication
username
password
And all this without any instructions! the big selling plus of touch is wifi but now i am trully fed up after 2 days of trying a novice approach to set up .
Can anyone please help
Apple please read my feed back from a first time unhappy customer ,-maybe i will just get a refund ..

Very slow Broadband Connection - 330kbps
Hi,
My Broadband connection has been quite fast (around 2700kbps) until recently.
Having worked from home on several occassions in the last few months, due to the weather, I have exceeded my usage allowance. BT have charged me and I don't have any issues with that. However I have noticed that my internet radio is unusable as it keeps buffering. I also have become aware that the PC has become slower when online. A quick check using a speed tester revealed that the download speed is 330kbps and I know for certain that this speed was over 2700kbps a few weeks ago.
Reported the issue to BT on the 24th February (VOL011-29787652863) and the problem is still ongoing. The helpdesk settings on the HomeHub2 tells me that the connection bandwidth is 448 / 448 and this is backed up by BT speedchecker advising of an IP profile of 350k.
Yesterday and today have been spent on the phone to BT who have remotely connected to my PC and told me there is nothing wrong. Called again today and was advised that it was my location from the exchange, which I insisted was incorrect.
It seems to me that the Broadband Remote Access profile has been clamped but BT will not admit to that and have advised that I either have a line fault or it is due to the distance from the exchange.
As I type they are trying to call again - why can't they just fix the issue - they have all the diagnostic tools they need to identify the problem.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Update - no response to the email to the forum admin folk but BT are still working on the issue and have asked me to retry.....no luck I'm afraid, as the speed is still dreadful. After reading all the useful info on this forum I have gone through all the diagnostics again and have plugged the HUB to the 'direct line to the exchange', so passing any house wiring. Speedchecker still says that the IP profile is 250k ... but interestingly the connection now shows 448 / 1840!
Back on the phone to the helpdesk and they have arranged for an engineer to visit my house. The earliest suitable time was next week, so we'll see what happens. Meanwhile I've ordered a MAC code from BT in case I have to move to another provider. -
Slow broadband connection for a month
Good evening. First time posting on this forum. I hope by posting here I can finally resolve a problem that has been bugging me for the last month.
Have had a slow but relatively stable broadband connection since around the middle of last month. We did have a thunderstorm around here that caused us to lose internet connection for around 20 minutes. Then just a couple of days later the decorators working on the house managed to damage one of the cables leading to the phone socket which led to disconnections every 10 minutes! This was repaired on 20th December.
Since that date our broadband has been stuck on a download speed of 288kbps. The connection is reasonably stable as in the last month we have had periods of 4 or 5 days before router resets itself. Over the last month I have tried all the usual checks including replacing filters, plugging into the test socket and doing the quiet line test which was fine. I stopped manually resetting the router a couple of weeks ago when it was clear this was not making any difference and also because of the fact the DLM needs a stable connection to try to get things back to normal.
The statistics below are for the most recent period before the router restarted. We are using the BTHomehub3

That is just a small sample as there is pages of it. Are they part of the Homehub's normal operation or are they a sign of an underlying problem that has caused our speed to drop?
Thank you in advance. Any help is appreciated.John46, thank you for the reply. I am aware of the need not to manually restart the hub. Admittedly I did do this in the first few days after the problem arose but have since learnt of the need to leave the hub so the line management can do it's thing. The reason my statistics show 3days connection is because of the hub automatically restarting - I take it this is the DLM doing its job. Will I see a gradual improvement in download speed over the course of the 10 days or will I be stuck in the 288kpbs band until the 10th day when the speed returns to normal? In other threads people are suggesting that 3/5 days is the normal period in which you can expect to see a return to normal download speeds. Even though I have been connected for this period, and last week managed 5 days before my router automatically reset, my download speed refuses to budge. Also can someone please tell me what the entries from my hub's event log posted above mean? Is it showing an underlying problem with the hub or part of its normal operation? Thank you.

How can I get a broadband speed problem properly investigated and resolved????
We have been having problems with both broadband and telephone connections for some time and reported this problem a number of times. Calling the 151 number is no help as after many minutes waiting I either get cut off or asked to perform all of the steps I have already completed by following the on line help.
A BT engineer visited to fix the phone line problem and stated that he felt the problem was a ground fault that is linked to the weather. At the time the engineer came and until the last couple of days the weather has ben fine (no rain) so the phone and broadband have been also fine.
Over the last few days it has started to rain again and the broadband connection has immediately deteriorated. The broadband is now constantly causing problems (regardless of time of day).
Our main broadband use is to stream and download video. This is always poor and is now not possible again due to the poor connection. We are for example unable to use BBC iPlayer, Sky Go, etc.
This is becoming very frustrating and the useable broadband service is not acceptable.Thanks Edd,
I think Ive got the stats you need below, we are using a Business Hub on our home phone line.
We have tested the master socket and are connecting directly into it, there are no extensions.
I've tried to run a speed but it just freezes and wont run (after entered phone number and pressed go).
Thanks, Ian

New HP All in One has slower broadband connection than my previous PC
I've just invested in a new HP AIO i7 Pc model 23-k470na, over the last 2 weeks I have noticed when testing the speed on Speedtest.net that I am only achieving between 87mbps and 95mbps where as with my older HP Elite i7 desktop I'm achieving around 155 to 160mbps
I have checked the Ethernet Satus shows the speed as 100 mbps
The Network adaptor is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
Any suggestions to achieve the broadband speeds I am used to and paying for
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello @fishyhooky,
I understand that your desktop computer's broadband connection is slower than your previous computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Does the Internet speed increase if you try a new, shorter Ethernet cable? Have you tried updating the firmware on your router? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Resolving Broadband Internet connection problems (Windows 8), as well as Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8). This should help improve the speed of your wireless network connection.
If the issue persists, I recommend contacting your Internet Service Provider to examine any issues that may be present on your wireless network.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Mobile Broadband Connect not working on x301
Hi
I definitely cannot get mobile broadband working on my UK x301
I have a fully updated system with all the Win7 Drivers (using both System update 4 and further manual downloads) and I found a Win 7 version of Mobile Broadband Connect however when loaded it hangs on Initialising... for ages and then complains that "the sim card present on the system cannot be read"
Can anyone help please?That has been on issue ever since RC1. The Ericsson Broadband Modem only seems to work in specific combinations of older drivers. Also not every access connections version seems to behave nicely in combination with it. My success rate in configuring those has been approx 50% and I gave up.
I did manage a 100% success rate though with all most recent drivers + the specific 7uw706ww ericsson package from the beta website.
There's one catch though. This driver seems to be capped at 384Kbps e.g. stuck in UMTS mode.
For me that's enough to last until proper drivers come out, but it is higly irritating.

Slow Broadband Connection Speed
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice please. Thanks.
I have a BT Home Hub 2. I have had it for about 4 years. I have generally always received a very good stable broadband with speeds that are acceptable for my use.
About 5 weeks I started to have problems with the broadband connection dropping out several times a day and then the wifi signal being intermittent. I put up with it for a while but then decided to contact Customer Services.
After several phone calls to Customer Services I had replaced all filters and wiring and plugged my router directly into the Exchange socket in the wall. None of this made the slightest bit of difference.
Finally, about two weeks ago, I was asked to replace the router with another one which I did. This made an immediate improvement. I was told that it would then take about 10 days for my line to stabilise but I should see a gradual improvement in the speed over that time.
Since then the speed has actually gradually deteriorated and for the last couple of days it has been running at 0.6mbps (the slowest it’s run since the problems first started).
I’ve spoken again to the Customer Services who say that this is part of the stabilisation process and to be patient for a few more days and it will improve.
I’m not an expert but is the guidance I am being giving correct or am I being giving the round around? It just seems odd that the connection is getting worse not better. Am I perhaps just being too impatient and will it start to get better?
I’d appreciate any advice please.

Slow Broadband Connection - Likely IP Profile Issu...
Hello,
For an age I've had a rubbish broadband connection, but the hassle of call centres and engineer visits have put me off sorting it out. In August I got frustrated enough to try to get it resolved - I have a couple of work/study things that need a decent internet connection. After repeatedly trying all the troubleshooting guides and the suchlike, I finally noticed a reference to IP Profiles on the BTW performance test results.
Further research suggested my practice of turning the Home Hub 3 off when not in use has likely resulted in a fault profile being created, limiting me to 0.25Mbps. This conclusion was backed up by a relative and a friend who are BT engineers. I left the Home Hub 3 on for 30 days, but there was no improvement. I turned the hub on and off to see if it needed to reset itself, but no improvement. It has now been on for 12 days. The advice on the forum and from others seems to be that I need BTW to reset my profile as it has become set at the fault level, because I left it too long to sort out.
I have now sent an email to BT support, but the initial response suggests they are going to go through every step on the way, despite me laying out all of this. I keen to know your thoughts on if I'm in the right diagnosis area and whether there's a quicker way to get the IP Profile reset to see if that is the issue?
Many thanks,
Gavin

Anyone NOT having Keyboard problems with newer MBP!
After reading about all the keyboard problems on the newer MBPs, is there anyone NOT having keyboard lockups or dropping letter problems? Looking to purchase a MBP soon but after reading about the many keyboard problems I will probably postpone or decide to get a different machine.
There might be a couple of things to try. You could borrow an external keyboard to use for a while--or even buy a cheap one used, and see if you still have problems or not. If you don't, there's likely a problem with the MBP keyboard itself.
Also, if you have access to an Apple Store, you might be able to make an appointment with the genius bar and get a definite diagnosis. It may be possible to arrange to get in a replacement keyboard at the Apple Store and have them fix it while you wait. Don't know for sure if that would be possible, but it's worth asking. Same with an Apple authorized repair shop--it might be possible to get it fixed without having to send it off.
Good luck! -
I would like to know is there anybody in the community that is not have a problem with the updates.
That is incorrect. Either you misread or the newspaper you read was wrong. iOS 6.1.2 fixes a bug that caused excessive activity and log entries with Exchange servers.

When I go to sync my iphone 3gs itunes alerts me that an update is available. I check to download an update. I then receive an error message stating that I am not connected to the internet. I am 100% positive that I am connected and before this download I was instructed to update itunes which I did without any problems and restarted my computer. I have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions. I have no problem syncing or using the itunes store. I just can't get the update. I also have no problems with my iphone connecting to a wireless internet connection. Please Help!!!!!!

Very slow broadband connection
Since being with BT, I have never had a particularly fast connection, but in the past two weeks it has slowed down to an average of 0.2Mb/s which anyone will agree is practically useless...even simple web pages are now slow to load now.
This is not due to any hardware issues/viruses/spyware/filters/extension cables etc! Neither have I got anywhere near my download limit for the month!!! (certainly no memory consuming stuff such as films!!) The speed is invariaby the same (tested using 3 independent tests) day or night, and is identical on my Vista PC which is connected by an ethernet cable to the hub, and also wirelessly on my lap top which is Windows 7. I have also plugged the Hub directly into the main phone socket, but there is absolutey NO difference in speed. I do have a cordless phone which I thought may be interfering in some way, but even unplugged and removed, and even a change of wireless channel on the Hub made no difference. So I have reasonably exhausted most possibilities other than a line fault!
Havng explained all this to BT, I was told it was a fault with my old Hub, I think a version 2.0, and have now got a Home Hub 3. I did emphasise that I suspected a line fault which they say is not the issue. Needless to say, the Hub is working and line speed is still 0.2Mb/s! Strangely, the BT speed test showed a maximum possible speed of 0.2Mb/s-clearly something has happened beyond my control, as I was getting speeds at least 4 times this speed until recently!
I have to say that BT tend not to listen to their customers and you may as well forget about calling their help line. I have tried to download BT Desktop help, but the software won't install on either of my PCs.
I am currently waiting an Engineer to have a look what is wrong. As a last resort, I tried the BT accelerator, which didn't do anything!!!
I am not naive enough to expect a very fast connection, and know it slows up at peak times, but you do expect to receive a half decent service, and be able to actually speak to someone in person if you have problems.. I was rather hoping that if this situation isn't improved then BT would offer some compensation, but as I still have a connection (which is next to useless) then I continue to pay. They also ignored my suggestion of switching to a cheaper tariff. Hmmm.
I have wasted a lot of valuable time and effort, and now must await a visit from the engineer, meaning my night shifts will be severely interrupted. I sincerely hope I will NOT be billed for this? After all, it is no fault of mine and up to BT to rectify it and I have done my best to sort the problem out at home first!! If anyone on the forum can suggest anything else, then I would be grateful. Thanks very much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi again and thank you so much for your interest and help.
The engineer visited on time and has reset my profile (not sure what that means LOL!!). I am still a bit baffled as to why there was a problem though the engineer reported a number of errors on the connection. Whereas before when my telephone rang, or I accepted an incoming call my connection cut off for about a minute, this problem has disappeared after many months! Suddenly my line speed has increased from 0.2Mb/s to 14Mb/s though I appreciate this may be temporary! Either way, it's now much faster and the problem was quickly identified and rectified, so I am very pleased with the efficiency of the friendly engineer. It's ironic though, that when I had Broadband set up initially, I had misleading advice NOT to expect a fast speed due to the type of property I was living in, so I was happy with a fraction of the speed I now have!!
And for the record, I may have been too hasty to condemn, so will be quicker to praise the service received, and of course many thanks to the Community Forum for their input. -
Just Not Having Any Luck With E-Mail Address, ect.
Kuduo,
First off thank you so much for just doing this!!! I have been dealing with the company, and it's a nightmare!
I am still getting nowhere as far a establishing a e-mail address for the e- what ever it's called on my printer.
I have a new hp photosmart all in one D 110 A, and I finally did get it to work without using a usb cable, even
if the print out tells me that I should change it as I caould have others use, see my things. I do use my wire-
less computer(laptop) to obtain a connection, and get a very good one from some new neighbor. I do not
want to chage it, and the report at one point even said it was "critical"
I have printed out several time the things it tells you to, but have yet to see any e-mail address???!!! So just
what is the scoope on this anyway?
I do know that it took me forever , and also alone to even figure out how to use my printer without the usb cord,
and for now she is working fine.
The one problem is that it does start to print off the wall, and also I hace change the settings 10 times from
color to black, but it only goes back to prihting COLOR!!!!!
Thanks For Your Help In Advance
