Slow Browsing and Streaming

Since last Monday ive had extremely sluggish browsing speeds and buffering video even on low settings, my speed tests come back around 44mb (My ip profile was 63mb and is now lowered 47mb) and on applications like Steam I am getting those speeds, but the connection is not as solid as it was. This problem is on multiple devices both wired are wireless i have restarted the router and done a factory reset. Prior to this my service has been excellent but last week it has been terrible with some sites/videos just failing to load and if they do load it can take 20-30 seconds. Any Help would be appreciated.

not sure how much to post, but this was to bt.com

  • Slow browsing when streaming Apple TV

    Hi - I just purchased a 3rd Gen Apple TV and have really been enjoying it so far, however there is one issue that seems to be continually occuring.  Anytime that I am streaming something on Netflix, web browsing on my MacBook Pro or my and my wife's iPhone's seems to slow to a crawl.  It also seems like I need to refrain from using my MacBook while streaming for the quality of the stream to be good on the Apple TV.
    I have done several speed tests to make sure my bandwidth is good, and I consistently achieve download speeds of 25 mbps.  Prior to getting the Apple TV, I streamed Netflix through my XBOX 360 while browsing on my MacBook and iPhones without any issues whatsoever.  The only thing that has changed in my environment is the addition of the Apple TV. 
    My router is a 4th Gen Airport Extreme.  I have tried the Apple TV wirelessly as well as through Ethernet with little to no difference in performance. 
    Has anyone else had issues like this?  I tested again streaming through the XBOX and there are no performance issues while browsing and the video quality of Netflix is great.

    Has anyone had any issues where streaming movie trailers through Apple TV is very slow? However, when browsing YouTube or doing anything else online such as streaming a movie from another computer is fine?
    can't say i have.
    anything time i have views trailers (and i watched on the other day) they loaded quickly and played almost straight away.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro has really slow download and streaming speeds

    I'm new to Macs, and don't know much about computers in general. But I got a 13" MacBook Pro almost two weeks ago and have been experiencing really slow download and video streaming speeds. Pages load one image at a time, Netflix is almost impossible to use because the videos will stop buffering every five minutes even if I let them buffer for more than ten minutes. I haven't been experiencing any issues with wifi on my phone, and I've troubleshot our router. I'm not sure what it could be--but then again, I don't know a whole lot. Before I go running off to the Apple Store or call support, is there anything I can try in the meantime? Thanks!
    Here are the system specs:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel Iris
    Software  OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    74.23 GB free out of 120.47 GB

    Check with your isp regarding your download & upload speeds as well as streaming.  You need to determine if the issue is on their end.  You can also check on the speedtest.com website.  Compare what your isp tells you to the net speed website. 

  • Windows 7 VERY slow browsing and creating folders

    Hi!
    I'm having a rather strange problem with Windows 7 RC.  I've noticed that browsing folders is generally slower than in WinXP, but still acceptable.  But lately I'm having a lot of difficulties moving files, creating folders, renaming folders and files, and even waiting for an Explorer window to refresh after some external app has created or modified a file.  Sometimes I have to wait up to 30 seconds for a new folder to be created, and another 10 or 15 after I rename it (from "New Folder" to whatever else).
    This does not happen in every folder in my HDD, but I don't know exactly in which ones.  I thought it was the indexed folders, so I removed a few from the Windows Indexing database, and they were still slow (after system reboot and all).  Then I thought it would probably happen in folders that are part of a library, so I removed them and the problem was still there.  I can't think of another reason for this to happen in some folders and not others.  It seems to happen in my frequently used folders, which honestly sucks.
    Just for the record, here's my system's specs:
    Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop (e1705), late 2006 model
    2GB DDR2 667 ram
    320 GB 7200 rpm seagate HDD, aftermarket (really fast drive, not the problem here)
    Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo) 2.0GHZ
    Windows 7 RC, multiboot with WinXP
    Thanks!!!

    For the benefit of those who are being driven nuts with SLLOOOWWWW Explorer 'Problems', I list the methodology which has worked for me.
    As always, 'Use at Own Risk' and 'Your Mileage May Vary'.
    Do NOT repeat NOT perform these steps unless youfully understand the ramifications and are prepared to live with the consequences.
    BACKUP FIRST !!! - Create a RESTORE POINT!
    The latest incarnations of Windows attempt to 'out-think' the user in order to provide a 'Better Computing Experience', and that is well and good for the average Joe-Blow, but NOT what the Power-User wants or expects.  There are MANY suggestions as
    to the cause and solution(s) for slow Explorer response, but we have to remember just how much work is going on behind the scenes.
    Much of that work is to provide 'pretty' screen enhancements and to make for 'simpler' Searching.  By foregoing some of these we can reclaim quite a lot of CPU cycles and Disk I/O for our own (Applications) use.
    Before you embark on any changes, carefully assess just how you use your PC. - How important are Thumbnails? - What value does Content View really provide? - Can you implement a Folder structure and File-Naming convention which makes Snippets and Content
    indexing of little use?
    You'll still be able to see local thumbnails if that's what you want, they will just be remade each time you open the folder and select Thumbnail (Large Icon) View.  This is usually less bothersome than the time loss of having a 'Master' Thumbnail
    cache maintained and updated for every file operation.
    Certainly, some 3rd Party 'add-ons' (Power Archiver for one! & similar) may cause problems, as can poorly configured A/V programs (realtime checking of Notepad for instance, every time it is opened??? Why not bring back the old innoculate method?) -
    but I digress.
    For many, the slow Explorer problem exists without any of the suspects / causes mentioned in previous Posts, or elsewhere online.
    I repeat: 'This methodology has worked for me - Your Mileage May Vary'.
    Now for the fun & games:
    Kill the time and resource hog 'Indexing Services' - Plenty of advice on how to do that is available online.
    DISALLOW Indexing on all volumes.
    To retain the ability to search for my files, I have been using the Search Everything tool from:
    http://www.voidtools.com/ which searches ONLY on local or removable NTFS volumes. (ie NOT FAT32 USB Drives!)  But that poses very little problem when I examine my real-world use of any Search Tool.
    SE needs Administrator privileges for its low-level file-system access, certainly not an issue to have a responsive Global Search at your fingertips.
    With 34.5 Gb (> 137,000 files in > 20,000 folders) on HDD, and 627 Gb (> 2,300,000 files in > 82,500 folders) on a Portable USB Drive, Search Everything has about 74Kb RAM usage and the db file is 10.5 Mb on disk - not a huge overhead.
    The initial run occupied about 10 minutes of my setting options and less than 5 minutes for the building of the database.
    The online FAQ has plenty of information including how to use wildcards, Path Matching, boolean operators and regex use.
    With a lean mean responsive search at hand, now to clobber some more of the 'features' which are supposed to 'help' us in our computing experience...
    Big Guns Time!
    Start Group Policy Editor -
    Start > Run > gpedit.msc
    Navigate to:
    Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer
    Locate and ENABLE the settings as listed:
    1. Turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons on network folders
    Disables the display of thumbnails on network folders in Windows Explorer.
    Windows Explorer displays thumbnails on network folders by default.
    If you enable this policy. Windows Explorer will only display icons and never display thumbnails on network folders.
    That gets rid of the first time-waster - Network access is slow enough without adding the extra traffic for thumbnails, and many PCs are stand-alone anyway.
    2. Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
    Turns off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
    This policy setting allows you to configure Windows Explorer to cache thumbnails of items residing in network folders in hidden thumbs.db files.
    If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer does not create, read from, or write to thumbs.db files.
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer creates, reads from, and writes to thumbs.db files.
    This goes hand-in hand with 1.
    3. Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data
    This policy setting allows you to turn off Windows Libraries features that need indexed file metadata to function properly. If you enable this policy, some Windows Libraries features will be turned off to better handle included folders that have been
    redirected to non-indexed network locations. Setting this policy will:
    * Disable all Arrangement views except for "By Folder"
    * Disable all Search filter suggestions other than "Date Modified" and "Size"
    * Disable view of file content snippets in Content mode when search results are returned
    * Disable ability to stack in the Context menu and Column headers
    * Exclude Libraries from the scope of Start search
    This policy will not enable users to add unsupported locations to Libraries.
    If you enable this policy, Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data will be disabled.
    If you disable or do not configure this policy, all default Window Libraries features will be enabled.
    Well, with Indexing turned OFF, this one is a real no-brainer, isn't it?
    4. Turn off the display of snippets in Content view mode
    Disables the display of snippets when Content view mode is turned on.
    Windows Explorer shows snippets in Content view mode by default.
    If you enable this policy, Windows Explorer will not display snippets in Content view mode.
    That stops peeking into every file and trying to decode the snippet - MORE time-saving.
    5. Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures
    This setting controls whether the thumbnail views are cached.
    If you enable this setting, thumbnail views are not cached.
    If you disable or do not configure this setting, thumbnail views are cached.
    Note: For shared corporate workstations or computers where security is a top concern, you should enable this setting to turn off the thumbnail view cache, because the thumbnail cache can be read by everyone.
    It (IMHO) is faster to generate the thumbnails as needed (for my usage anyway), rather than to be attempting to maintain a global cache each time a file is created, modified, deleted or moved.
    This completely cuts out the thumbnail caching overheads, and makes quite an impressive speed difference.  Even on an old 1.7 GHz Laptop with 2 Gb RAM and an Intel 915GM Graphics Card (NOT the best choice for Win 7 by any means!).
    6. Turn off numerical sorting in Windows Explorer
    This policy setting allows you to have file names sorted literally (as in Windows 2000 and earlier) rather than in numerical order.
    If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by each digit in a file name (for example, 111 < 22 < 3).
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by increasing number value (for example, 3 < 22 < 111).
    Do I REALLY want to waste the time on this procedure? If I want to sequence my files, I'll prefix the filenames with 0's - 003 < 022 < 111. Not a problem!
    Subjectively, these changes make for a much more responsive system.
    Objectively, moving over 2.3 Gb (7,500+ files) via 'Drag & Drop' from HDD to USB Drive shrank from 12 Mins+ to about 8 Mins. Explorer did NOT 'freeze', and I could freely change the displayed folders in both the Source and Target Explorer windows.
    I hope that this is of use to others, it has served me well for the last several months.
    A few minor delays when wanting thumbnail views, but certainly FAR LESS DELAY than before the changes, and
    no more stalled Explorer.
    2010: - Windows? - MAC OS X? - LINUX? - UBUNTU? - 1982: - Commodore C=64? - Amiga? - BBC Micro? - Apple II? - Same old play, only the actors have changed.

  • Very slow synching and streaming on apple tv

    I bought my apple tv about 2 months ago and had it set up at my house and it worked perfectly. About a week ago I moved to a new area and attempted to set up my apple tv in my new place. Unfortunately, the apple tv is taking forever to synch with my mac and is extremely slow streaming music let alone movies. The internet connection I have at my new place is supposed to be stronger than what I previously had at my old place. Any suggestions?

    They're probably fine, but they're not all built alike. When I got my Devolo AV200 units a few years ago, they were considered the best, but that has probably changed, Devolo have newer versions and perhaps another manufacturer has the crown these days.
    you're probably right. but what i got works perfectly so i'm not going to worry about who has the crown for a few years.
    I suspect most of them do work fine these days, but a few years ago some were very poor if used on extension leads compared to others - wanting the best ones was about being confident it would work and not being disappointed.

    Yes, but without the extension lead bulk.

  • Nokia 7020 slow browsing and messaging

    I started using the browser a couple of nights ago and the phone seemed to be taking an extremely long time to open the websites (just tried two before giving up). Eventually the phone locked up and I had to remove the battery to restart it. Since then not only is the browsing still slow but it takes forever to open and send SMS. This is the second 7020 that I have had that has done the same thing but that phone started doing it almost straight out of the box - disappointed
    I have tried restoring the factory settings after backing the phone up to the memory card. I reset the settings with the SIM and memory cards removed so as not to lose data.
    Is it a software glitch?

    My data storage is still in the phone but i too get this slowing down issue. I use the SMS function more often, and i find that the messaging application feels slower. especially when a incomming sms is imminent. also after sending an sms the time it takes to start a new message also feels slower until the previous message is sent.
    I find the previous communicator more efficient in processing multiple consecutive messages.
    I also get memory full error messages and when this happens the phone really slows down

  • Mail problems, slow browsing and Facebook problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hi !
    I have a 27” iMac from late 2009 which started acting really strange after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Before that everything works fine but now Mail does not work, will not send replies or add attachments and browsing has become so slow that it usually times out. Another strange problem is Facebook messages which does not work at all (cannot read nor send(.
    I have Lenovo laptop connected to the same network so I can benchmark and browsing works just fine on that aswell as FB messages.
    Anybody got a solution to this other than using the iMac for offline use only ?

    Hi !
    I booted both the modem and router but it did not help. Then I tried using the iMac on wireless and now it works so must be something in my D-Link router.
    Thanks for pointing me to the right direction !

  • Slow browsing on WRT54G

    I am having slow page load on one of my laptops connected wirelessly.  One laptop runs vista home and seems to work fine.  The other runs XP professional and is slow browsing and loading web pages.  The XP laptop seems fine when connected to the wired connection but slow connected wireless.  Any suggestions?  TIA.

    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Next, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    If the above does not fix the problem, then proceed:
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
    If you continue to have problems, try the following:
    For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.  Please report back as to which suggestion helped you.

  • Extremely slow connection to Music Store and Streams

    There have been multiple threads detailing troubles people have been having both with the iTunes Music Store and streaming music via iTunes. Extremely sluggish performance has been reported for weeks now.
    Over the past 3 weeks I've found that a search on the Music Store can take 30 seconds or more. Downloading a song can take minutes. Browsing is extremely sluggish. Sampling songs results in repeated rebuffering ("Network Stalled/Rebuffering Stream" messages), even if one sets the Streaming Buffer Size to "Large". I've tried reverting to 6.0.4 and shutting off the Firewall and Personal File Sharing, none of which had any effect.
    I experience the same sluggishness both at work, via a high speed office LAN/T3 connection, and at home, via a basic DSL setup. The friends and associates I've surveyed are experiencing the same sluggishness. No proxy servers are used at either location.
    I don't know about others, but I've found this sluggishness makes the iTunes Music Store completely unusable. It would be helpful if Apple were to give us some kind of indication as to what's going on if it wishes to retain it's dedicated customer base. If it persists, there are alternatives. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onlinemusic_store#Online_Music_Store_Comparisontable)
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iTunes 6.0.5 (20)

    Yes it is sluggish at times but far from unusable. Why not select the "Loads ....before playing" option in iTunes prefs>Store to get over the rebuffering problem. I think it is slow due to the popularity and high volumn use that the iTMS gets. Try a different time of day. I use it late at night (USA time) and don't have all the problems that you are experiencing.
    Why not contact iTMS customer service directly as Apple does not currently pay much attention to the forums. The reponses here are from fellow forum users and not from Apple employees.
    By all means if you are dissatisfied with the iTMS then vote with your pocket book and go else where. Last time I checked it was still a free market place.

  • Slow browsing, timeouts and pages failing to load

    Hi,
    Over the last few days we've been having browsing issues on multiple devices where pages are taking forever to load if at all. We're sometimes having to refresh the browser 3 or 4 times to get a page to load correctly.
    Sites like speedtest, once I've got it to load show low ping speeds and the Upload / Download speeds are what I would expect on our line. I've rebooted the router and modem but this hasn't resolved the problem.
    Please advise.
    Regards
    Neil.

    Hi i would just like to add to this as i have been having the exact same issues in the last around 5 days, if i look at my speeds on speedtest they are as good as they usually are but problems with not loading pages instantly disconnections from certain services but not others for as little as 5 seconds and general slow browsing has started to become incredibly annoying especially when it seems to come out of nowhere.

  • After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

    After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • I have selected to BLOCK POP UPS yet I still receive pop ups. This slows my browsing and is unwanted!

    I would like to stop pop ups when browsing. I have selected the option to block yet I still receive pop ups. This slows my browser and is unwanted. I have gone through preferences and chosen to block pop ups. This does not work. please explain, and help.
    Thank you,
    Julie Stuart

    If you are receiving popups, it is possible that this is being caused by an extension that you have installed on Firefox.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    :[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]

  • Slow performance in browser and OS -- EtreCheck Included

    Hello all, I'll keep this as short and detailed as possible.
    I bought a Macbook Pro for my wife two years ago, but the machine has been very slow since I got it for her.  I've always been a Windows guy myself and am very familiar with troubleshooting in a Windows environment.  I have almost no experience with OSX, however, and have no idea which applications would be needed for troubleshooting, etc.
    As my wife describes the issue, the OS itself is very slow.  She opens the laptop and a full twelve minutes pass before the system is fully responsive.  She has to keep pressing the power button for anything to work.  The screen will be greyed out and a loading bar will appear at the bottom.  It takes so long to load that the system falls asleep and she has to restart multiple times.
    I have noted that the browser is also slow.  My wife uses Safari almost all the time.  I installed Chrome to see how a fresh browser install would perform in OSX, and the speed was very slow as well.  An internet speed test at speedtest.net results in:
    Ping - 47ms
    Down Speed - 5.96 Mbps
    Up Speed - .89 Mbps
    Included below is the result from an Etrecheck run
    Problem description:
    Slow performance in browser and OS
    EtreCheck version: 2.1.6 (109)

    Thank you very much for any assistance

    If the machine has always taken 12 minutes to start up, since it came out of the box, then it was and is defective. There's nothing to do in that case but to take it in for service.
