Slow download upload speed

today i was playing my ps3 online and noticed ALOT of lag so i quit and tested my speed it was 1mg download and not even 0.1 upload. i cant play my ps3 online with that slow of upload. i did the pinhole reset and it went back up to normal and after ten min back to the unusable 0 .1

also i noticed in the hub manager it said there was no device connected through ethernet but my ps3 is. also today i was on the ps3 online and it was fine for an hour then it startefd lagging so i did a check on the ps3 and my speed was less than 1mbps and upload was 60kbps. i have just did a check using the ps3 again just after i did the bt one and its saying 4.6mbps download and 170.3kbps upload. im wondering if its a ps3 problem? one more thing my home hub when you touch the power cord in the back it restarts the hub

Slow Download / Upload Speeds

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help me with my slow connection speeds. I have the 20MB service but yet only seem to get 400kb - 800kb Max. I tried to ignore it for a long time but know that im downloading some of the new games that come out (MW3, Skyrim) Ive noticed how poor the connection really is.
Any advice on how to boost my speed up?

check your exchange here - does it say 21CN enabled?
your currently are on adslmax and have the max connection speed of 8128. your package is up to 20mb but that is not possible unless your exchange has been upgraded to 21CN

Very Slow Download/Upload Speed

I have the Turbo service (5MBps - 7.1MBps). I check speedtest and 192.168.1.1 and they tell me : Speed (Down/Up): 5883 Kbits/sec by 863 Kbits/sec, which is fine with me. The problem is though, my download speeds are never above 600 Kbits/sec. I plugged my phone line directly into my Verizon box outside and get the same speed. What could be the problem?
Some Info :
I tested this on three computures (Two with Windows 7 and one with Vista). I am also using a Westell 6100 modem.

Who/what told you that?
For example, the router at 192.168.1.1

#4 Is wireless in this modem combo (Westell 6100), on?
#5 If wireless in this modem combo is on, what level of wireless security is the router set to? For example, WEP OR WPA.
#6 The Default Gateway on all three computers is 192.168.1.1?
To check this on Windows XP..
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
This is, as noted at http://oit.ncsu.edu/resnet/ipconfig
For Windows Vista OR Windows 7, I believe like the way at http://oit.ncsu.edu/resnet/vista

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

Are you on band 13 or band 4? 13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow.
To check band,
dial *3001#12345#*
select serving cell info
frequency band will say 13 or 4
FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

Basic Questions on ActionTec MI424-WR Router - problems with poor download/upload speed

First, I will get to the point and ask my questions, then will explain what's happening - I'm interested in hearing whether the right actions are being taken to solve my problem.
1) After perusing the forums, I see frequent reference to the "Rev" version of the ActionTec MI424-WR Router. How do you find the Rev version? I have logged into the Router and in the "System Monitoring" icon, the Router Status lists my Hardware version as 'A'. Does this mean I have Rev 'A'?
2) What is Verizon handing out these days for Routers? Mine is being replaced, and I am wondering what to expect. I have Verizon FIOS Phone, TV, and Internet service, and have the 25/25 Internet service. Will they give me another MI424-WR? If so, what Rev level are they likely to give me?
Here's why my router is being replaced - opinions/comments/advice welcomed.
For the past year or two, I've consistently measured (via speedtest.speakeasy.net) about 30Mbs download, and around 22-25 Upload. Lately, I noticed that my downloads were quite slow, so I tested my speed at the above website, which I had not done in many months. I measured only about 2-3 Download and 1-2 up. Note all of what I am discussing hear takes place with hard-wired ethernet, NOT wireless.
I tried testing from multiple computers, running XP, Vista, and Windows 7. All getting consistently similar poor speeds. I verified my account still is supposed to have 25/25/ service, which I verified online.
Tried rebooting the router, no change. Then tried hard reset (pushing in the recessed button, holding it for about 20-30 seconds. After it reconnected to the Internet, I tested speed again. No change.
Interestingly, I tested wireless speed on the laptop I have. Speed is MUCH better, around 15 down, and 10-12 up.
I tried the speed optimization tool on two of my PCs, it made no improvement. Finally, got into an online chat with a Verizon Tech. He did some tests on the line, we repeated some of the things I already tried, and then he asked how old my Router was...I am pretty sure it is the original one I received when I first signed up for FIOS, around 5-6 years ago, which is one of the reasons I asked how to tell which rev level I had. So the tech concluded the problem was probably my Router.
I TEND to agree, especially because I recently had an "anomaly" on my network. My son complained one day that Internet was down. When I got home, I found out my NetGear Gigbit switch was dead, and two of my hard-wired ethernet network printers could no longer talk to the network. I replaced the switch, so now I am thinking perhaps the Router was damaged somehow. I have no idea what the cause of this anomaly was - everything that connects to my network was plugged into Triplite ISOBAR surge protectors, but that only protects AC power.
I would think a hardware failure would completely kill the ethernet portion of the router, not simply reduce speed, but I could be wrong. Anyone been through something similar to this before? I expect to receive the new Router next Thursday, so hopefully I should know by then, but still - what should the next steps be if the new router does not fix the problem?
Thanks for any comments, insight or shared experiences you might be willing to share...
Solved!

This is embarrassing.
Smith6612, you are absolutely correct, and you nailed it!
When all this mess started, I checked my Verizon account to make sure I was signed up for 25/25 Internet. I was.
I don't know what has happened, but after reading Smith6612's response, I went back to recheck my account. I was set up for 15/5! So, the speedtest measurements I have been getting the last couple of days are exactly what I should be getting. Two possibilities:
1) My Triple-Play bundle must have expired in the past two weeks by coincidence.
2) The Verizon tech may have changed my account profile when I worked with them online last week, although this was never discussed.
At any rate, Smith6612 wins the prize. It certainly explains the download/upload speeds I am getting. I have logged into Verizon and signed up for a new bundle. According to their website, my new profile should take effect Tuesday 1/10, so after that point, I should be measuring 25/25 again.
Thanks to all who responded to this thread. I will update this thread to confirm after Tuesday. I get nervous whenever I have to change anything with Verizon - although everything has worked fine for the past few years, we have so many services with them - Cell Phone, TV, Internet, and Home Phone, that I worry something will go wrong with the billing, but we'll see.

Download / upload speed suddenly divided by two, c...

For the past two weeks I noticed that my download and upload speed has been divided by two, I use to enjoy 1.4 meg and it is now down to 0.6megs it is not a connection issue because it is stable, it looks more like a throttle has been applied to my package. I called support yesterday and they said they would "reset" my line as my connection appears to be slow from their system, nothing seem to have changed yet. My IP profile has also been divided by two and is now 7.5 megs instead of about 16 megs, I am a bit puzzled. See my ADSL stats below

Slow fios upload speeds in northern NJ

I have 50/50 internet but the upload speed is extremely slow. Download speeds are usually somewhere between 50-60 mbps any time during the day. Upload speeds are around 30 mbps during the mornings and in the evenings it gets as low as 5 mbps.
They replaced the box outside, inside, and also the modem...Still the same thing. The upload speed seems very consistent everyday being faster in the morning and slowing down in the evenings.
Is the service in my area oversold? The only time I got 50 mbps upload speeds was on new years day(morning).
Verizon shouldn't advertise that upload speeds is the same as download.

Well, then I'm not sure what you expect to get from posting here. In case you didn't notice, you're talking to peers here. There are a bunch of network savvy folks here, but we can't help you if you don't give us details. We only know what you tell us, nothing more. if you're convinced the problem is in Verizon's network, then there is nothing we other users can do for you.
I suggest you try some large file transfers as well. Speedtest sites are very useful tools, but sometimes real world testing is important too. Some quick tests could be uploading movies to FaceBook or YouTube. If you have other well connected servers you can use, try them too.
Remember that the Internet is ultimately a shared medium, regardless of what Verizon's marketing department says. If you're testing through links that are loaded, then speed will drop. Using other servers and test sites will help determine if some links are busier than others.
Enjoy.

Changed radio mode to 5 ghz using AirPort Utility, but download/upload speeds are unchanged.

I'm using both a Macbook that is 5 ghz compatible as well as an Airport Extreme that is able to transmit 5 ghz. When I switched my radio mode from 2.4 ghz to 5 ghz and ran speed tests, the download speed was at 2.7 mbps each time...in other words, switching to 5 ghz made no increase in my download/upload on the speedtest. Is there a reason for this?
Does the speed of my internet have an effect on how fast my wireless can transmit?
Thanks!

People have been talking about how their internet speeds have increased dramatically with the use of the 5GHz option.
Unfortunately, they don't have the correct facts that they need. As John says, your Internet connection speed is limited by your ISP. Even the slower 2.4 GHz "g" speed on your router is likely much faster than your Internet connection will allow, so having even higher speed capability with 5 GHz on your network buys you nothing as far as the Internet connection speed is concerned.
Simply stated, a router cannot "speed up" the Internet connection. That is controlled by your ISP. If you need faster Internet connection speeds, you need to check with your ISP about a faster....and more expensive....plan.
Where 5 GHz can help is on a local network between devices. Say, you want to copy a file from one computer to another, or from a computer to a hard drive over the wireless. In this case, 5 GHz will allow the data to transfer at a higher, faster rate than a 2.4 GHz connection.
The result is that it will take less time for the file transfer to occur using 5 GHz on your local network.

Drastic Download/Upload Speed Drop

Hi guys, I could do with some help!
For the last week or so my broadband connection has been very slow- it dropped from around 8Mbps to 2Mbps, and it's stayed there consistently since. I've tried resetting the hub, to no avail. Also for the last couple of days getting dropped perhaps once or twice a day. Hub settings below:
It could (should be?) a coincidence, but I've just built a new system and was trying to re-download my steam library when my problems began. My first assumption was that some kind of sneaky throttling was going on, but I'm on an Unlimited package, and the download rate is the same across several programs and browsers.
Edited to provide further information: My new system is running Windows 8.1, the slow download speed is consistent across several devices (Windows 8.1 PC, Windows 7 PC, Windows Phone), and the BT Speed Test shows 8.13Mbps from the Exchange to my house, but only 1.9Mbps from the router to my PC, so I'm guessing the problem is in the router somewhere.
Cheers.
P.S. The low connection time here is due to a manual reset.

Many thanks for the quick reply- I've tried the wholesale performance test several times (gives the same sort of connection speed), but the Diagnostic Test won't run (tried wired on two different systems). Instead, it gives the following message:
The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider.

Strange download/upload speeds using the airport express as a repeater

HI,
i am having strange speed issues. Let me start off by stating my AirPort Extreme is on the middle floor of a 3 story condo. The condo has 2ft concrete slabs between floors. I have a repeater for the first floor as my signal strength was poor. I get great speeds on the same floor as the AirPort Extreme 45/15. On the 1st floor with the airport express, I get 4 down/12 up. My upload speed is always faster by a wide margin. On the 3rd floor (no repeater) I get similar results. I don't understand how my upload speeds are preserved, yet my download speeds via the repeater or 3rd are awful.
HElp! I'm using 2.4gHz for better penetration and I have changed the channels to help with congestion. Any ideas ?

Having the upload speed not change is odd indeed, but the loss of download speeds can almost invariably be attributed to the concrete walls in your condo. These do a poor job of allowing Wi-Fi signals to pass through them. Your actual Internet speeds are not affected by them, but the overall bandwidth speeds between the Internet server and your computer will be.
The best solution, albeit maybe not practical, would be to interconnect each of these base stations with an Ethernet connection and reconfigure the entire network for roaming.

Solution to low download/upload speed on Linksys E900

I lost almost 2 days and nights searching to solve this problem. I pay for a 50 Mbps connection using PPPoE. When i put the cable directly into the computer, i could reach speeds of 7.5 - 8.5 MBps download within the network. However, when plugged in the router, on LAN from router i would barely get 4.7 MBps and on wi-fi about 4. Not to moention that on www.speedtest.net i would have less then 30 Mbps upload speed, and when i put the cable directly into computer, i would get speeds aroung 70Mbps. The problem is not that this router cant handle PPPoE or such thing (explanation read on somewhere on this forum) or that the router cant handle those speeds or some another stupid (defending Linksys) explanation. The problem lies within the firmware of this router. I also tried the LiveSupport but to no avail, reflashing with the same version of flash, getting the same speeds. Lost one hour there. The solution is to upgrade to Tomato custom firmware from Shibby. Get the E900 version from here http://tomato.groov.pl/download/K26RT-N/build5x-115-EN/Linksys%20E-series/, and flash it from Administration>>Upgrade Firmware. Before and after the flash, do the so called 30-30-30 reset (just check for it on youtube). I configured the wireless on 40Mhz Channel Width and Short Preamble. And that's it. Now i get 7.5 - 8.5 MBps speeds from LAN router, and on wi fi i got speeds up to 7MB. Thats aproximately 40% gains in terms of speeds, so it definitely worths it. Plus you get some pretty options, especially on QoS. Linksys should spend more time offering a better support for firmware, rather then selling devices that the user cant take full advantage of their hardware properties. I hope this post helps everybody who got this problem

Up higher in that post is some speed test results regarding a wireless N comparison between the TP-Link and EA3500. At those speeds I don't think the internet connection is the bottle neck. How do those wireless speed compare to your router Tomato speeds?
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Incredibly slow FTP upload speeds on Intel Macs with OS 10.5

I've been using FTP programs like Fetch and Vicomsoft FTP for years and recently bought two new Intel iMacs to add to my office. I still have my older G5 iMacs as well. We have an extremely high speed business class broadband connection and on the older iMacs that are running 10.4.11, our FTP connection through Fetch and Vicomsoft with them is absolutely super-fast with upload speeds of close to 300 kb/sec.
However, on the new iMacs, which are Intel Macs and run OS 10.5, the FTP upload connection is insanely slow, with upload connections of less than 30 kb/sec (yes, 10 times slower). It starts out fast at first (like all FTP connections) but then very rapidly slows to a maddening crawl of 30 kb/sec or less.
Anyone have any idea what this might be attributed to? Or anyone out there have the same problem? We are having to transfer everything to our older iMacs in order to upload, which is another huge time waste.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, on the new Intel Macs, we have tried using both Fetch 4.0.3 (which is the version we have on the older iMacs) as well as Fetch 5.3 and the same slowness problem exists for both.

Q180: Slow download speeds even slower then upload speed?

Just looking for answers. I have recently brought a Q180, using it wifi upstairs. And I just upgraded to a DOCSIS 3.0 modem gateway (Moto SBG 6580) I have Charter as my IP I pay for data plus 30 Mbps download. My son's laptop, my HP laptop and my Mac book (used up stairs) all seems to have benefited from the upgraded modem. Showing 20-25 Mbps. Charter provides a webpage (speedtest.charter.com) to test your up/download speeds. The Q180 shows an average of 4 Mbps! And uploads of avg. 6 Mbps!? Q180 shows 811.N as selected and full signal strength of 54 Mbps?
Where could the chocking be coming from? How can I fine tune the Q? Any help would be really appreciated

that website for testing is crap i have tested mine and i get http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/1593897921.png 20mb down and 3.5mb up and i am on 50mb down and 5mb up
try something like speedtest.net and also do a pingtest.net
even speedtest shows my speed as 35mb and 4mb a little better but i am in the uk

Slow download/upload MSN

Hey! I just got a new iMac and i'm having a very slow upload/download speed when I send a picture for example threw MSN. However when I do this on my PC, it's much faster.
Help?!
Thanks

Is your internet connection speed slower or is this problem limited to MSN? I don't have any problem with my connections in general but I do find MSN amazingly slow as well, though I haven't use it for a while. Maybe try a few different MSN client see if that makes a difference? (there are the official MSN client, and also Adium http://www.adiumx.com/)

Too slow down/uploading speed FTP + airport extreme b.s.

Hi guys,
I've just switched form WIN to MAC...I've bought the Apple Powerbook 17" and Airport Extreme Base Station...I didn't have any problems with setting up airport extreme for connection to the Internet + I've connected PC and MAC wirelessly to the Internet.
Here's my problem...I've found out that the download speed from FTP server is to low (under 1 MB/s when using airport extreme).....while when I connect my PC to the Internet using LAN cable, the speed is about 6MB/s ....
where's the problem?
Is there any possibility of raising the speed when using airpport extreme?
Any ideas?
Thank you

Geoffrey,
I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet - I am going to reset the base station and revert the firmware back to the second-to-latest version. I've heard there can be issues with the latest version.
I notice you're connecting wirelessly - that probably always will be slower but you can tweak your settings a bit - if you have 'enable interference robustness' on, you could try turning it off, there's also a speed setting there too.
My problem happens with it in wireless, yes, but weirder, working wired too - my adsl modem runs into the airport, then out to a router. Speed on a PC connected to that router seems ok, but all my macs are slow as anything, If I connect them directly to the ADSL modem, the speed improves - it seems to be an issue between the Extreme, and the macs - and, weirder still, some are on OSX.3.9 and some are on OS9.2.2
