Slow DSL WiFi

I have thought about getting my parents a iPod Touch so they can listen to radio programs over WiFi. They use a slow DSL line. I would like to know how this would work with the radio apps. Do the apps buffer the feed to take the speed of the WiFi? Thanks.

Why don't you test their streaming speed next time you visit them. It's hard to predict whether they are going to have a problem without know the details of their connection.

MacBook slow with WiFi "N"

Hi,
I have a serious problem with my MacBook. I explain my home configuration, so U can have all the details of my home system in mind:
I have a wired 1Gb network, all the PC's and Mac's are connected to the Lan over ethernet cable. I have also a LaCie Network 2 Tb HD with all multimedia content linked to the LAN. I have also two WiFi AP's one from DLink and other the Airport Express both "g" only
Recently I buy a Linksys DSL WiFi Router (WAG325N), so I can sync my MacBook with my iMac without using the Ethernet cable. When I use the MacBook using the etehrnet (1 Gb) cable all works ok. When I connect using one WiFi "G" Access Point all works ok, the sync is slow because the amount of data I sync, but when I open one directory of my Network drive I can play any movie or have the list of all files in the current dir inmediatly.
But my big surprise was, whe I setup myy new WiFi "N" router and I connect with my MacBook, Internet works find, the problems start when I tray to sync or even something much simpler, open a network directory in my NetDrive.
When I acces to one of the dir the list of the files inside appears very slowly, if I click in a movie it doesn't start right away (as it happend with the ethernet or WiFi G conection) my MacBook doesn't respond and I must to whait 15 minutes to see the movie start, but only the first frame then stoped again. I can't even make a copy of a single text file from any dir inside my network to my MacBook.
I see that when I using an "N" connection, the bandwith is less than when I use the G one, it make no sense, the Network Utility show me a connection of 130 Mb but start to give me Recv errors (first time ever), When I change to an AP with WiFi "G" I have no problems and the MacBook start to work with no problems and to reproduce the film perfectly.
I try with my iMac to unplug the ethernet and make the same test using the WiFi "N" AP and it works great, no slow charge of the contents of the dir and quick access to the contens inside.
I reinstall the Leopard with a brand new installation, and I have all updates posiibles, and the MacBook don't wanna use an N connection. I try shuting down the rest of AP's changing channels, disconecting the phone base station, I think I test all, and my iMac it really use the WiFi "N", but my MacBook wanna be and old school machine
Any help???
Ivan.-

Several ideas...
If you haven't done so, try Starting up in Safe Mode
Once you see the Desktop go to the Apple menu > Restart
Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help.
Since you are running v10.5 you could do an archive and install > Installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
That places a new System Folder on the drive without having to do a complete erase and reinstall.
Good that you backup your data !

MBA - slow internet/wifi then photo stream is enabled

I have problem with very slow internet /wifi connection when photo stream is enabled. I run some test. I'm conecting MBA to internet by WIFI network. When photo stream is enabled, ping reply time to my router is around 1000ms - 2000ms. When I turn off photo stream, ping reply time is around 1ms, and internet works fast. I've tested MBA with difrent access point and there is the same problem. I have 2.5GB of photos on iCloud.
What can I do to fix this?

Photo Stream uses a lot of bandwidth. The fix is to disable it.

Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...

Since the Portico update the connection to Facebook both in the People and Me hub as well as in the Facebook app is very slow over WiFi, whilst still good over 4G/LTE (with WiFi off). The connection to the Nokia account also appears to have a similar problem. All other accounts and apps have good speed over both cellular and WiFi connections.
Any ideas anybody?
PS: FYI, a bit more info about the history and context: When I noticed the problem the first time after the update, I tried to solve it by deleting and re-adding my Facebook account on the phone. Unfortunately, that made me lose my Me hub tile, so I decided to do a full reset. That again unfortunately got stuck on the togg wheels, so I restored the phone using Nokia Care Suite with the latest firmware, and restored my accounts, apps and settings from scratch. Everythings seems to work fine now, except the above mentioned Facebook and Nokia account connectivity problem.

Did you somehow solve this problem?
I have the same issue here with my Lumia 920.
However I have already found out that it only applies to my home Wifi. All other Wifi networks i was connecting to did work flawlesly.
I need to note that all other devices on my home network are using facebook without a glitch. Only Lumia has some problems with it.

Super Slow DSL Speeds

I have been without internet for a week. Verizon finally fixed the problem yesterday afternoon and my internet service was restored but now I have super slow DSL speeds. 0.36 dowload & 0.54upload.
I am tired of calling tech support and being told to reboot my computer, modem, yadda yadda. There is something else going on here and need to figure out if it is with the modem itself or the line. All the line tests the tech support people have done come back normal.
The modem is reporting the OAM ping test as failing in Far End F4 Loop Back Count & Near End F4 Loop Back Count. No idea what that means.....
The speed from the modem itself is listed as:
Speed(Down/Up):
416 / 640 Kbps
I've done ipconfig flush dns, ipconfig release, ipconfig renew, etc etc. In home agent is reporting a problem with the dsl signal and just instructs me to reset the modem which does not help.
The modem is old, GT704WG from verizon. I am thinking about going out and buying a new one but don't want to do that if it is not going to fix the problem. It just seems odd that last week internet speed was fine and now it is slow as hell.
I had no internet or phone this week which they are claiming it was due to a line being pinched when my house was re-stuccod in December(granted internet and phone worked fine up until last Sunday). Verizon went under the house and fixed the line, phone & internet came back on. When I logged onto the browser I was prompted to activate my verizon service( I guess because it had been out for a week). Did that, got onto websites but connection is extermely slow and I am at my wits end.
I've spent more time on the phone this week with the unhelpful verizon people then I spend all year talking to my relatives and I really don't want to call them back and sit on the phone for another 45 min to an hour.
Anything I can do to diagnose and possibly fix this?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my post, however your tools do nothing to tell me what is going on nor am I going to schedule yet another repair.
This past week when I had a "repair" scheduled, I was told they would be out on wednesday to fix our problem. No time frame was given for when this repair would take place. My retired father waited at the house the entire day only to have the repair man show up at 4:30pm who told us it was too late in the day to wait 5 min for us to move some boxes out of the closet that were over our crawl space so he could go under the house and fix the damaged wire. Instead he ran a long phone line from our box to our kitchen phone, told us this was a temporary solution and that if we called the repair center in the morning someone would come out in the morning and fix it.
We called in the morning, only again to be given no time frame for the repair. My father again waited all day, this time no one showed up. Even after he called 3 x's that day trying to get information on when the tech would be there....
Finally on Friday after spending another entire day waiting for a repair man did one show up around 3 in the afternoon one did, he went under the house and fixed the wire and our phone service was finally restored after 4 days. The dsl finally came back on albeit at a super slow speed as I am experiencing now.
Right now I am currently calling around to get rate quotes from other providers for our phone, internet, tv, & wireless. My experience with your "customer support" has soured me to verizon even though I have been with you guys for 10 plus years. I don't want to spend one more day waiting for repair man who may or may not show up. I don't want to spend another hour to hour and a half on the phone with some man in India who is just going to ask me to reboot my pc and modem over and over again and run a "line test" which is the same thing your automated phone service asks you to do as well.
Your company just doesn't get it when it comes to customer service. I pay my bill every month on time and in the 10 plus years I've been with you this is one of three times I've called for support. Each time I've had a horrible experience and the only thing that has kept me with you is that most of the time the service works as it should. I have heard FIOS is relatively trouble free, at least in my neighborhood, which is the only reason I am still considering the upgrade but if I do find a more reasonable deal with a company that has a better record for customer service I will be cancelling my order. I have a few weeks left to decide. It's unfortunate too because there are some nice folks that work at verizon but your company philosophy towards customer service has changed the bigger you've gottena and you've lost touch with what your customer's need from you.

I've had it with slow DSL

Today I don't have email--I can't send or receive to my home computer. Things are working fine from the Verizon internet mail site. I've been a Verizon customer for over 12 years and the DSL speed is horrible--barely get 1.1 mbps downloading.
No Fios here and they don't offer anything faster than the "Enhanced" plan which is pathetically slow. So I'm going to try cable out and dump Verizon. I have an AT&T cell plan and never use my landline.
Verizon just doesn't offer modern service and they don't seem to care. And I live in Los Angeles County! Calls over the years to service have never fixed the speed issue and I never get the performance that I'm paying for. Enhanced is supposed to be up to 3.0 mbps but I've NEVER seen speeds even remotely near that.
I've waited for years for Verizon to upgrade the old phone lines here. Well I'm finished waiting. I'll try cable since even slow cable should be better than this SLOW DSL.

I'm in Baltimore and there is no Fios. Talk about sick of the slow DSL. That's an understatement. I am stuck with using my Smartphone to connect to the internet. So much so.. that in a few days I've used the data plan I have up to 95%. I am sick of Verizon.
Last month, in order to get on the internet, I ran out of data on my smartphone. I'm going to switch to Sprint, give up my contract with Verizon, cancel the DSL, and just use my phone to get online.

Ridiculously slow DSL

constantly very slow DSL, esp with my wireless items...so wasted almost $100 buying cat5e cables to reach these items and still horrible connection. Speedtest just run shows 1.69mbps download and .58 upload speeds while using the cat5e cable, yet I am paying for 3-7mbps. I NEVER get better than maybe 2.5 to 2.8, have constant buffering issues when trying to stream even little video clips. what is the problem and when will something be done about this poor service? guess I might as well return all these cables since they have not helped at all...

yea, take the cable back. That's not your problem. I've been having exceptionally slow speeds in past couple of days with intermittent connection drops and from what i'm seeing on the posts I'm not the only one. I've been with Verizon since they first offered broadband and only once was it trouble with the copper to the house (neighbor cut the line). Excluding a fault with the copper inside your home (low probability unless you've futzing around wit it) or the copper from your home to the pole, or the copper from the pole to the central office (higher probability if they have been futzing around with it or of course an act of God) the problem is at their end. I've been through the merry go round with their tech folk 99% of which are reading off a script, no real help there. The only way to get resolution is to be patient and hope it resolves itself, not the best option considering you're paying for a level of service. The alternative is to be persistent and keep opening tickets. Always insist on speak to a supervisor, threaten to go elsewhere (if that's an option). The operative word is persistence. Here's usually how it goes-- you are rolling along with satisfactory service (that's relative, not going there) and now your service has turned to crap. You call V and they do a line check and say that it's fine. What does that tell you, it's at their end but won't fess up to it. You did something to your configuration, it's your fault. They'll walk you through a script checking this and checking that. Must be your router, (a favorite) so they'll offer to sell you a new one. If you're lucky they'll give you a free one to appease you for the moment. And each time you call them it's the same merry go round. That's why you need to speak to someone higher up the chain preferably a tech supervisor. Those below are clueless. My OS is Linux and I run a wrt router so I'm familiar with the equipment on my end (BTW - they can't help you unless you're on Windows, i'm not a Mac user so I don't know what the deal is there). When nothing can be done for you remotely they schedule to have a lineman come out. A real nightmare for those of us who have real 9-5 jobs. Again, the trick is persistence, that's all you have if it's just you. When the fault affects a geographic area (say section of NYC) they are more inclined to remedy the problem. Hang in there, good luck.

Slow DSL speed

Hi,
I've had a problem with slow DSL for over a year. Now it's become even worse. My computer is connected to the internet directly through a modem (I had to disconnect my router a long time ago, because of the speed), which is Westell 2110, B90-210015-04 (rev.F software). I ran a diagnostic for the modem, and this is what I got (sorry I coudn't insert a picture directly):
http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x110/Brimruk_91/?action=view&current=1212.jpg
FEC Errors numbers are growing with time. My understanding is that the Noise Margin number also doesn't look so good. And I am not even talking about the Data Rate.
Considering these test results, as well as the fact, that on a rainy day my Internet speed is close to zero, I am blaming all of this on Verizon. Of course, I've called their Customer Service and got the typical advice about checking my computer for viruses and trojans (my computer runs McAfee soft and is updated regularly), and resetting the modem (didn't help at all).
Now, a Verizon tech is coming to my house Tuesday morning. Any suggestions on how can I prove to him that the slow Internet speed is not a problem on MY end of the line, but theirs?
Thank you!

Slow DSL since Fios comes to town

I've seen lots of complaints about slow DSL.
My DSL was always fine. No problems.
Then FIOS came to town. Suddenly, DSL is a drag. Lot's of internet lag. Esspecially in the evening hours.
Again, this was never a problem until FIOS
I smell corporate greed and it stinks. I would never buy FIOS just because of this LAME Verizon business practice!!

Please perform trace route, as many times as you need to, and post them.
For example if on Windows XP..
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in cmd and press enter.
c) Type in tracert and then the IP Address or domain name that you want to trace route to, and press enter.
google.com for example of a domain name.

Slow DSL after midnight

DSL slows after midnight because businesses is sending information.
All cash registers in stores are really computers.
If it is a grocery store they dump the store computer to the District computer who separates cash from items sold.
The cash information goes to National Headquarters. Items sold goes to Warehouse for restocking stores.
Banks are receiving and sending checks, debits, and funds transfers.
Social Security is sent to banks.
The BOTTOM LINE is there is a limit to how much time you have to use you computer because everyone is time sharing the network.
File transfer on your computer is measured in seconds kilobytes/SECOND or whatever.
The smaller the part of a second you are sending, the lower the KGB/second.
The internet has exploded faster than companies can lay cables or build microwave towers.
Some companies over book, just like the airlines.
Hope this helps people who can not find a technical cause to the slow DSL.
My DSL runs for 6 bytes/second to 64kbs I have very selodom seen over 100kb.

I'm kind of wondering, where did you get this info from? If I'm not mistaken a lot of the data Grocery Stores and other commercial locations tend to use can be sent over dial-up normally within a few minutes in bulk using compression. DSL should never get loaded down that much after midnight due to businesses pushing out information (which is probably done real-time anyways, though I don't know this for sure). A bunch of businesses I would also imagine would also be on T1/Fractional T1 lines, which by the way aren't very fast compared to the backbones coming in.
Generally after Midnight is the maintenance period for Verizon in my area. Once in a blue moon I can catch them performing work on the network as the DSL tends to act irregularly, but it definitely isn't a case of the backbone being saturated.

DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

DO PUSH NOTIFICATION SLOW DOWN WIFI OR 4G CONNECTIONS?

I have a 3Gs and I've tried everything. I even restored as new phone and the issue continues. It has to do with the Wifi antenna and the bluetooth antenna, I believe they are both the same. I get intermittent wifi at home, work and other hotspots. I also get static on my bluetooth earpiece. I have to hold the phone within 6 inches of my ear for the static to go away. If I take the phone off of headset during that call, the phone is crystal clear. I have done the forget this device. I've done the turn off iPhone and turn off router at home, star the router up and wait, then turn iphone back on. Same issues continue. It has to do with the software. I'm not sure how they power the antenna, but maybe the software update 4.3.3 has effected it.

Very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012

Hey, I have recently experienced very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012. On other mac's and computers the internet is working well. I cannot change the channel of the router (what I found out to be the only solution here), because I live in dormitory. Should I try to restore OS? What would be other possibilities? Is it OS or mac mini issue?

If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.

I also found it interesting that when help is offered it’s “Please keep all correspondence regarding your issue in the private support portal.”
Are we really to believe the majority of our speed issues are individual issues, not a companywide issues?

Why is ethernet slower than wifi?

What might be the reasons for ethernet being slower that wifi?

Nope, Cat5e is certified at 1000Mb/s. And the wireless will not even be close to that.
