Slow internet connection during the peak hours

Hello my I just got my Fios internet today and after 8:00 PM the internet is very slow.
I did a speed test on multiple servers and the download speed was 6 mbps and it was choking a lot.
I did the same speed test 6 hours ago and I got 75 mbps. Now even the verizon webpage gets stuck loading. I will continue to monitor my internet speed till the end of this month. If this problem is not resolved then I will switch to optimum which I already have and did not cancel yet. With Optimum I get 50mbps download and 15mbps upload and thats speed is constant and never goes down during the peak hours when everyone uses the internet. Please do what ever you need to do such as install more load balancers or upgrade your lines. For my line of business I need my internet to be cast and reliable.

What you're experiencing is exactly the opposite of what happened here.  When I had Optimum Online speeds would fluctuate substantianally at busy times of the day.  Since getting FiOS I've never seen that fluctation.  Speeds are the same day in and day out.
Having said that, I can't tell you what's causing your problem.  I suggest you try calling Verizon tech support during the evening when speeds are slow and see if they can shed some light on the cause of the problem. 
Or maybe take some screen grabs of speed tests when speeds are good and when they're bad, and then Live Chat with support, sending them those screen grabs.
Good luck.

  • I have a slow internet connection after the last update

    Hello Every one,
    I am facing a weird issue in  my mac...
    The internet connection is very very slow .. can you imagine that I wait a while to open google ??!!!!!
    this problem has started after installing the latest JAVA update..
    I cannot browse .. my internet Speed is 40MBS..
    even the wifi is disconecting from while to while in my MAc ...
    what to do ?!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I've started hating my mac..

    Same problem here.  After installing the latest Java update from Apple (and also after disabling both Java in Safari and the Java plug-in in Firefox) in the past 2 days browsing the internet has become a veritable problem with download speeds practically at a crawl.  I am on a MacBook Pro running on 10.7.3.    What is going on?

  • Can I use an Airport as a wireless modem, and will it improve a slow internet connection (from the source)

    Living on a acerage outside of the city, we have a weak internet signal. It takes days to download a movie from iTunes. Will using the new Airport actually improve our internet, or are we limited to the poor incoming internet connection?
    I'm not very skilled in network stuff, so apologies if this question is really stupid.
    Thanks

    There is no modem in the Airport router. You cannot use it alone. You must have a modem and the speed will be set by the type of broadband, and factors like distance.
    Ring your ISP and ask if there is any way to get a faster connection.
    Often 3G/4G wireless will be faster than adsl but will cost many times more.

  • Very slow internet connection in the late evening.

    Broadband works fine all evening until approx. 10pm. This has been happening for the last week the broadband has run very very slowly. I tried to run a test last night but connection was so bad it timed out. by 11 pm the connection drops completely. 
    This has been going on since we had to have a new junction box as we had phone and internet issues since 2012 and finally it was agreed that a more permanant fix should be put in place. First few times we just put it down to the new line as while digging the trench somebody put a spade through our exististing line and left with no phone or broadband for 24 hours.
    Is there something happening at the exchange to make this happen every night as in the morning and early evenings it is fine. I cant test the line or the speed as the pages just wont load

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • How to download adobe products without adobe download manager. I am on the slow internet connection

    how to download adobe products(e.g lightroom) without adobe download manager. I am on the slow internet connection. The adobe download manager ask me that download will finish after 24 hours.

    You can get all the download links to software updates back many years by going to:
    www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and choosing your software product in the dropdown list at the top and clicking Go.  This should lead to a page of updates going back in time.  It doesn’t have the .0 versions because those require payment, but the .1-.n free updates to the .0 version s are there.
    You can also get beta software downloads by going to:

  • My 2007 mac pro has a slow internet connection with lion

    Hi:
    I've been dealing with a severely slow internet connection with my 2007 mac pro - dual quad core.  I have os 10.7.3.  I use wifi. 
    Typically, I'll experience difficulty loading websites completely.  Certain sites have a 90% failure rate to load most elements.  Other sites operate quickly from time to time.  Often, a site will simply fail to load at all.  My cable company cannot find anything wrong with my connection and other, newer devices don't have a problem loading sites.  It seems the issue is most likely related to my computer.
    Interestingly, I can usually "jump-start" the connection by turning my wifi connection off and on and this will (temporarily) allow me to get an image or video to download.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your time.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

    I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
    also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
    To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
    My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
    o/s to W7-Ult.
    Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
    Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

    if(null != object) object.Submit(browserID, tabID, target, url); }; </script>

    Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
    machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
    Steam or the like causing interference.
    I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
    I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
    my Asus machine.

  • Slower internet connection when connection wireless network

    Currently using a Linksys WRT54GL wireless broadband (firmware v4.30.5) router in conjunction with a Thomson Speedtouch 546i ADSL router (ISP provided).
    My problem is that when I connect to the internet over the wireless network I experience a much slower internet connection in comparison with when I use a tp-cable.
    Tested with various online "speed-tests" (I know they are not to be trusted, but they do give a basis for comparison):
    Over wireless network : ca.6000kbits/sec.
    Direct cable from pc to router (tested on both routers):12-13000kbits/sec.
    Hope anyone has any idea what the problem may be, and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Change the beacon to 50 ....and reduce the RTS and the fragmentation by 40 each.....these options are found under the advanced wireless settings...
    Also make sure that u have the latest drivers installed for the Wireless NIC.

  • If you have an Airport Extreme router and a slow Internet connection ...

    I know that Internet connection speeds are extremely variable, but I wanted to share this post for anyone having performance problems (very slow Internet connection speeds) while using an Airport Extreme router. This may or may not help you, but it might help someone.
    I have a RoadRunner Turbo account, and I was experiencing consistently slow Internet download speeds (an average of only about 300KB/sec). However, when I bypassed my router and connected my Mac directly to the Time Warner modem my download speeds were 6 to 8 times faster (up to about 2MB/sec).
    After weeks of tinkering and reading Apple documents I discovered that my Airport Extreme router had an improper setting. That setting is found under: Manual Setup -> Internet -> Internet Connection -> Ethernet WAN Port. When I was experiencing the very slow speeds, my Ethernet WAN Port setting was: '100 Mbps/Full Duplex.' To fix the problem I simply changed this to 'Automatic (Default).'
    This one change resulted in a huge, positive performance boost for me. I hope this post helps other people.

    You use an App like Filebrowser.  Details here:

  • HT4569 In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

    In case of lost internet connection during mountain lion download from app store, do i have to start over?

    How do I speed this up.  I have a fast internet connection but this is obviously not right. 
    The speed of the downlaod is dependant on the speed of your Internet connection. "I have a fast Internet connection...," doesn't actually mean anything unless you provide some numbers.
    I have a cable Internet connection with 32 Mbps download speeds, but if you have DSL, you would probably be limited to 1.5 Mbps. Some would call both of these connections "fast," but obviously one is faster than the other.
    What is the speed of your Internet connection?? Don't say, "fast."

  • How to install Lion on Mac with slow internet connection.

    My father's Mac mini has a slow internet connection.  I always update it by taking the update packages that I download on my iMac to his machine.  Will I be able to do that with 10.7 (Lion) when it is purchased/downloaded from the Mac App Store?

    It seems that Apple's license terms will allow that across Macs that share the same App Store ID, but I doubt that's the case with you and your father.  Physically the update package for Lion could be moved, but the licensing issues will have to be worked out.  You're not the only person who's concerned with the issue of how to download a 4 GB file for Lion.

  • Enable responses from 2 separate internet connections on the same system

    Hello List
    I am hoping one of the network gurus here can help me out. I've spent quite a few hours trawling these forums and others online to try to find the answer to my question, but success has not been forthcoming.
    My situation is this. I have a system that functions as a server that is connected to two separate internet connections. The G5 tower is hooked up to each via Ethernet. Each connection has a manually configured connection with a fixed IP. The gateways for each are using different IP ranges, the IP for en0 is 10.0.1.59 and en2's IP is 192.168.1.145. They each have different gateways configured as well, 10.0.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. 192.168.1.145 is the DMZ system for that internet connection. Here is the default entry in the system's routing table:
    Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
    default 10.0.1.1 UGSc 4 8 en0
    I need both interfaces to reply to requests to their public IPs backthrough the correct gateway and not the default gateway. This is because of bandwidth constraints and the need to perform nightly backups of substantial amounts of data from our business hour VOIP connection, but allow the existing default gateway to remain first in the network service order list.
    I have thus far tried the following based on what I could learn from this and other forums across the Web. I have enabled forwarding with the following command:
    sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
    Then I have applied a fwd rule to ipfw that purports to route requests made to the en2 local address back through the correct gateway:
    sudo ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 ip from 192.168.1.145 to not 192.168.1.145 out
    However, this does not work and there is no response from en2 gateway when trying to access the system from that gateway's public IP.
    Can anyone see something obvious that I'm missing or point me at an online resource that will let me figure out how to get this working?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I sounds like what you need is a static route to the IP address of whatever is on the other end of the Retrospect request. The command would look something like this:
    sudo route -n add -host host_address -gateway router_address
    where host_address is the IP address of whatever the Retrospect request is going to, and router_address is the gateway you want it to go out of.
    A caveat here is that the route entry does not survive a reboot, so you'd want to create a startup item, or preferably a launch daemon to do this for you automatically on startup.

  • How do I download 9.5 to install on a Mac with a slow Internet connection?

    Prior to Mavericks and the latest iLife apps, I was able to download installers from Apple support to install on an eligible Mac that has a slow (and tolled by usage) Internet connection. The new App store downloads and installs in one step such that it only leaves behind the installed app (not the installer image). Suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac App Store applications don't need an installer. In the case of iLife applications, you can just transfer the iPhoto, iMovie or GarageBand application to another Mac by transferring the application from the Applications folder, and you will get the applications updated on your Mac.
    If you haven't got another Mac with a fast Internet connection, you can only download the iLife applications with the slow connection

  • IMail 5.2: How do I optimize it for use on a slow internet connection?

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded to Lion OS X v 10.7.3, and i like iMail 5.2 when I work from my office or home.
    BUT, when I am working in the field I often have access to only glacially slow internet via an internet modem, and iMail takes FOREVER to download my messages. Way longer than my pre Lion version of iMail.
    Is there a way to optimize iMail 5.2 in order to optimize for slow internet connections? For instance, to partially retrieve large messages? Or to somehow deactivate all the synchronizing and other Activity that goes on in the background?
    Many thanks,
    Hoyt

    Use a web based email account like GMail or HushMail, because they are a website and people access their emails from many different machines (phones, computers, slow or fast connections) the site can optimize things better than a dumb mail server.
    It's possible to auto-forward a copy of your present email accounts to have them on the web based accounts too, don't know exactly how to go about it, but many people elsewhere also have the same desire so it's obvious something like that is being used.
