Slow Internet speed, please help!!

Hi for the past month or so I've beeing getting really poor internet speeds, I've rang BT and they did some tests and I saw some kind of improvement for a little while, but now its gone back to being slow again. Please can anyone help or suggest how I can get the speed improved or resloved totally. I used to get 5Mbps minimum anytime of the day!!

  • Very slow Broadband speed please help!

    Hello to all, I have recently joined BT from Sky and I am due to have Bt infinity installed mid October so hopefully my issue will be resolved then, however since joining BT Broadband I have had appalling internet speeds averaging 0.3 mbps! I can’t even watch the BT help videos online!
    My current BT broadband was completed on 11th September and I was told wait 3 days for the line to stabilise which I did with still speeds of 0.3 mbps. I re contacted BT after this time and was told to do all the usual checks which I did. To put you in the picture my router is connected to an extension socket in my lounge and my master socket is located on a window sill in my hall way.
    I can’t connect my router to my master socket as I have no power there and it is impractical to do so due to the space on my windowsill.
    I was then told that my IP profile or BRAS profile was low and would be looked into. This was and three days ago I was told that they had completed their work at the exchange and sthe peed should be improved. My line now has an IP profile of 0.42 which yes is an improvement but I know my line is capable of more from when I was with sky it was around 1mbps.
    I was then told I would have to wait until after a 10 day period from when my line was activated and then call back if no
    improvement - Today no change speeds are as follows:Download speedachieved during the test was - 0.36

    For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.1 Mbps-0.5 Mbps.

    Kind Regards

    obviously connecting to an extension socket is not ideal and as you cannot connect to test socket you cannot rule out problem with your internal wiring causing the poor speed
    have you removed the bellwire from terminal 3 in all sockets?

  • Slow internet speed -upgraded it to highest speed

    I have had FiOS internet for about four years and never questioned the speed 10/2, but I had it plugged into the router.  On 3/4, I upgraded to TV FiOS/internet and phone bundle.  I do not have my computer where the router is located now (downstairs) and I had asked them to move it upstairs, but left before they had done it.  When I checked the speed (I guess the wireless speed since it is not plugged in to the router), it was 15.66/10 mbps.  I ordered the 35/35 mbps speed bundle.  I called Verizon and asked them about it and she checked the speed and said that it was "pretty good" considering it is wireless.  What?  I am not getting what I am paying for.  Do I need a DSL filter on all the phone lines?  Do I need a new router (I still have the old one)?  I have read on the community here that everyone has called several times to get an answer to the slow internet speed problem. Does anyone have the 35/35 mbps speed plan and have it work at this speed? I might as well go down to the 15 or 25 plan if that speed is all I am every going to get......But maybe if I go down to 25 plan, I'll get 10 or 15...... I will continue to try and work with Verizon to get this solved.   .Thanks for any help.

  • Slow internet speed - terrible service

    For the last 5 weeks I have been plagued with very slow internet speed. I have spent at least 4 hours on the phone with verizon techs. They always say that they will call back and never do. This is absolutely the worst service imaginable.

    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up.  It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace)  might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
    For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
    news.giganews.com
        traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

    Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
    #3 If you don't know how to get that info:
    a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
    b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
    #4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?

  • Slow internet speed, being used by unknown websites

    Hello all,
    For about a month i have been experiencing slower internet speeds than usual. Contacted the isp and went through all the processes and there was not a problem at their end. I was advised to go to network utility and check how many processes there were, found out that there was too many to count.
    It seems i have internet processes coming from my macbook ip address from uknown sources such as ookla.com etc. Now i have downloaded spyware programs for mac which have failed to find any viruses or spyware at all.
    Now i know the problem is coming from my macbook as the unwanted guests our appearing under the macbook ip address, my router is receiving the right speed so it can't be the isp?
    Right now i am just wondering what to do to stop these processes using up my internet connection and potentially turning my router into a server.
    Any help would be grateful.
    Mark Lees

    Yeah i have little snitch but it appears to not spot these websites, i can send you a screenie of the netstat screen
    Then that would imply the only connections going out from your mac are from legitimate applications.
    lots of things will engage outbound connections.
    safari
    firefox
    itunes
    spotify
    and sites that you visit that have embedded video often host the video on other servers. So you would be suprised at how many socket connections you have at anyone time.
    If you have little snitch look at the monitor window and it will show all the recent connections.
    You could reset little snitch to default rules and then you will be prompted to allow or deny each new connection.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY

    Why that when I record a video in my iPhone 4s then I will transfer it to my laptop, the video is in slow motion? Please help so that I can use always my video recording feature. Thanks!

    Video is synced from the computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You need to load the video into iTunes, make sure it is iPhone compatible before you do that, and once it is in iTunes, then sync to the iPhone.
    Never said what computer OS you were using. Also, the computer processor, amount of RAM can make a difference with HD video.

    I cannot retrieve my mail when I am not connected to the internet. Please help.

    Your mail is housed on the mail server. The device attempts to update, and because you are not connected to the internet, you cannot access it. You need an active data connection to deal with mail.

  • Slow internet speeds and dropping connection

    hello, I am making this post on behalf of my dad, for a good few months (5-6 maybe even longer) we have been experiencing slow internet speeds and a dropping connection when ever the phone is picked up. when an incoming call is answered some or all devices connected to the internet drop out for a second then come back online, the connection does not completly disapear but causes any voice chat, streaming or gaming to disconect. We have BT wireless phones (not sure what exact type) which we have had for a few years. they are connected through an ADSL filter which as far i can remember has been there for years. We have a netgear DG834GT router which has also been there for a few years. I went onto its settings and got this information, not sure if its usefull or not.
    System Up Time 42:18:47
    ADSL Link
    Downstream
    Upstream
    Connection Speed

     I also got this from the BTW speed tester
    1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Download  Speed
    1.24 Mbps
    0 Mbps
    2 Mbps
    Max Achievable Speed
     Download speedachieved during the test was - 1.24 Mbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.4 Mbps-2 Mbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :1.76 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 1.25 Mbps
    I hope this is enough information to figure out what is going on with it.

    put everything back as it was and this is what it looks like now:
    ADSL Link
    Downstream
    Upstream
    Connection Speed
    160 kbps
    448 kbps
    Line Attenuation

    also while i was doing that i did i quiet line test and both myself and my brother listened to it and agreed that there was buzzing/static

  • My iBook is soooooooo slow -- can you please help?

    I have an iBook G4 that I purchased about 2 years ago. The only software I have installed on it is the Microsoft Office stuff (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and Photoshop Elements. I mainly use my laptop for photos (just uploading them from my camera to iPhoto) and surfing the internet. I have some word, excel, and other miscellanous files stored it, but nothing that I think would use up significant memory to slow it down. Anyhow, my computer is extremely slooooooow. I transferred a lot of my photos to an external hard drive, thinking this make help speed it up, but it didn't make it any faster. The photos are only 3MB or less each. Sometimes I will upload photos and then my computer will freeze (the little pinwheel thing just keeps spinning and spinning forever). What can I do to make it function faster? Please help -- I'm so annoyed with this laptop!

    Hi Gritz,
    Have you run the maintainance scripts that are part of the system? MacJanitor (freeware) will run them for you.
    The following article was written for Panther but applies to Tiger as well.
