Slow loading speed

I use verizon DSL, my plan is $29.99, and the speed is up to 3 Mbps/
768Kbps. I checked the speed at http://infospeed.verizon.net/speedtest/, it always is under or around 2414Kbits/Sec and 301KBytes/Sec, Occasionally reach 2822.9Kbits and 352.9KBytes. and the page's loading speed is very slow,
what's wrong about it?
Thank you and happy thanksgiving to all.

2414Kbits/Sec = 2.4 Mbps. I would say your connection is doing very well. You will never reach 3 Mbps as this is the theoretical best that you can do. Speed can vary greatly. That said, testing on the Verizon site I got 84507Kbits/sec (84.5 Mbps!!! ??) on my 6 Mbps cable connection. On other tests sites (see below) I got between 1.2 and 5.7 Mbps today. Speed can really vary sometimes for various reasons including network traffic. Try some of these tests and contact Verizon if you are not satisfied for more information about your connection and speed. Note that the speakeasy test also tests your upload speed, which is very unusual for these types of tests.

  • Slow Load speed of websites

    I am having trouble with the website load speed on My 2010 Mac.  The page load is very slow and 30% of the time the page will not load at all.  Looking for what I can change on the Mac or if it is my ISP.

    First thing to do is reset the modem and router. If necessary do hard resets, you will need the manuals on both  devices to know how to do that. Because "slow" is a relative term you may need to do more digging. If it was once fast and the resets do not help then download and install iStumbler (Google it) and look to see if you are competing with your neighbors for a Wi-Fi channel. Let iStumbler run about 30 minutes and check to see what channel you and the neighbors are using. If you see you're competing with some neighbors change the router's channel to one not being used. 

  • Slow loading speed for static files

    We are running an azure website on a S2 hostingplan and have a bundled and minified javascript file that is 1.6MB large. The load times of this file are sometimes 600ms and other times it suddenly jumps up to 4 seconds or even higher.
    To improve the loading times we tried creating an azure cdn endpoint that loads the files from the azure websites and now we sometimes see loading times of around 200ms. But sometimes it still jumps up to 4 seconds or higher.
    Can anyone give me an idea what is going on, I assume the larger loading times are due to disk access and figured that adding an cdn would fix this problem but as it turns out it didn't.
    What is going on here?

    To isolate and help us investigate, can you try the following:
    create a dummy site in the same web hosting plan as the site at stake. e.g. give it some random test name.
    Drop that javascript file in the wwwroot folder of that site
    Do you see the same slowness? If so, can you share the name of this dummy site to help us investigate?

  • HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • Why has my page loading speed slowed on OS6?

    My page loading speed has slowed to a crawl with OS6.  Anybody else having this problem?  I feel like I have a dial up connection.

    We need more specific information about how you charge, how old the iPad is, etc.
    could be hardware, could be software.

  • DL/page load speed great, but browser "looking up" and "connectin​g to" slow

    I just got Fios Internet on Monday.  The speed of downloading and webpage loading is really good!  However, there is one annoying problem that maybe someone can help with?  When I enter a URL, it takes a long time for the browser to "look up" and "connect to" the site.  For example, it takes 10 seconds to "look up" google.com (which should load almost instantly).  The problem is that many sites that pull from different advertisers... getting on a news site is awful because it takes forever for the internet to look up "ads.cnn.com" and "advertisements.ystd.dhsk.com" or whatever.  But once if finally looks them up and connects to them, the ads load quickly.
    Any ideas about what I can try?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, a bunch of replies, so here's some more information:
    1.)  I'm using a Mac... Operating system is OS X 10.4.11.  Web browser is FireFox.
    2.)  I changed DNS servers to Open DNS (followed the directions provided on their site).  No change in the time delay.
    3.)  Just to reiterate-  This is not an issue of load speed.  Once the content is "looked up" from the site, it loads quickly.  It's the "looking up" and "connecting to" processes that take ridiculously long (ie. 13-15 seconds to look up google.com... puhleeze!)  The delay is the same no matter what site I go to.  And certain sites are awful (ie. sites that pull ad content from different sources... takes 10 seconds to access all of the ads.google.com, admedia.cnn.com, etc).... so the page takes forever to actually load.
    4.)  Nothing is slow about my computer... operating system, other programs, browser itself... all fine.  The only thing that is a problem is the "look up," "connecting to," etc. time.
    5.)  dslr595.... I went to that site and tried the "ping" and "traceroute" steps, but I don't have a "network utilities" in my "utilities" folder.  BUT-  after reading that site, it sounds like that is more the type of issues that exists-  the response time.  Brand and model of the router is Actiontec MI424WR.
    I appreciate all the feedback and would welcome more.... thanks everyone!

  • HP LaserJet 4250 paper loading speed has been dramatically slowed

    We have a HP LaserJet 4250 and one day, paper was jammed via Tray 1. We managed to solve this but after this incident, paper loading via Tray 2 has the exact same speed as what would happen on Tray 1.
    We tried to reset to factory setting on the printer but it wouldn't work. It prints fine but paper loading speed from Tray 2 is the same speed as the Tray 1. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • Slow FF startup and page load speed

    TIP TO IMPROVE SPEED(?): My FF startup and page load speeds increased dramatically when I used the auto feature in Ashampoo WinOptimizer 6 to adjust my internet settings. I've been using the comparable feature in TuneUp Utilities 2009 and FF speed was worse than abysmal. Hope this helps some of you. (You can obtain a trial version from Ashampoo or CNET; actually v7 is out and appears to be even better.)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Always

    Gmail only allowed to log into one message or link or folder then ff 3.6.4 freezes.
    I have gone back to 5.2 to get it to work yet every time it updates ff freezes. Why is this?
    If I reinstall 3.5.2 will I ba able to get an answer to this problem else I may not be able to see what you send me.

    Hi,
    I have had bt broadband opt3 for almost 3 months now and have always had a healthy 9mb+ connection, however have noticed it being very slow in the evening when I come home from work, I checked the speed last nite as iplayer was constantly freezing and was getting 1mb . A bit upset by this as I got bt broadband to play my ps3 online and to get faster speeds on my laptop, and I use these services mostly at nite.
    I checked my speed this morning and was getting 11mb, is this normal or am I being capped I cant believe Id be going over my download limit. Can someone from bt get back to me on this?
    Thanks
    John

    Yes Alison, I think I can see that now. I wouldnt mind if broadband was a bit slower at peak times, I know thats normal, but when I'm only getting 1mb when my max is 14mb, I just dont feel I'm getting what I pay for. And when it gets to the point where I cant watch iplayer without it stuttering everywhere and online games lagging on the ps3, this is certainly not what I'm paying for.
    I was hoping one of the mods here would help me and check my line and see if there is any cap on the line and get it removed.
    I really dont wanna phone India, I deal with them 5 days a week as is...
    Think I will just send one of the mods an email to check my line and see if it is being capped or if somethings wrong.

    You will never get decent speeds on Iplayer,
    BT limit it because they want you to subscribe to their precious BT Vision service.
    The only way you are guaranteed to get decent speeds on BT is to subscibe to BT Vision and also unlimited broadband.
    Then you will get priority when you stream TV at your exchange unlike fighting it out with all the other broadband users as you currently are for the available bandwith.the more over subscribed your local exchange the worse it is

    Hi John,
    I can take a look at the network side of things for you, to see if there is anything I can do to help improve your speed during peak periods. Please could you drop me an email with your BT account details? Please also include a link to this thread. It would also be very helpful if you could run a few speed tests using www.speedtester.bt.com when you feel your Broadband is running slow. I can then check those results from here.
    Thanks

    Well John i'll tell you what it is...
    First of all welcome to BT and I hope you'll enjoy 18months of pain and suffer.
    OK here it goes....
    If you look at your contract, find a rule that says Fair Usage Policy.
    Basically it states that BT will cap anyone that is abusing their lines.
    However, it does not say what are the limits after which you are going to be capped for how long and at what times. (I'll come back to this later and explain)
    If you ring 08007076044 I'm sure that someone will confirm my theory. As constant 1MBit between 6PM till 11/12 PM is actually FUP applied on to your account.
    Ok time to explain my frustration about FUP.
    Since I signed my contract with "lovely" BT for constant 4 months I had similar issue but it took me even longer to find out what is going on and how to deal with this problem (thanks to google).
    FUP team states that if you exceed 100GB in a month (everyone will admit that these days 100GB is nothing when a single game for PS3/XBox360/PC sometimes is more than 5GB and 1080p film is about 12GB) will cap you for a month at peak times to outstanding and superfast 1Mbit (about 130-150KB/s).
    I'be been watching my download and for few months never exceeded that 100GB in a month. Been ringing FUP team to verify when suddenly they told me that from (cant remember exactly) March FUP will apply only to accounts that are using Torrents and other P2P.
    you won't believe how happy I was hearing that.... So i've started to download and next month guess what.... 1Mbit connection.
    Really mad rang FUP team and asked them what on earth is going on. They confirmed that its only P2P and I've explained them that I only use Youtube, BBC iPlayer, Rapidshare, Steam and XBox Live, Beatport (just don't understand how ppl can use torrents and other P2P as they are just way to slow). So they were happy to take the cap off my broadband connection.
    Next month same issue solved exactly the same way.
    After that for consecutive few months I had no problem whatsoever until September where FUP Team said that there is no such thing and FUP applies to everyone.
    So just want to say that BT is rubbish that can't keep their word.
    I went to one of the sales advisor in the shopping centre and asked him how FUP works as it does not say in the contract "how, when, who and what".
    So he said that policy is applied based on amount of files downloaded within that 100GB. So if I download e.g. 3x 50GB (although its 150GB altogether) files I wont be affected but 100x 1GB will put a cap on me.
    I've been so curious if what he said was right and started to download 2x 60GB and guess what... Got frigging FUP placed on my account!!!.
    I've got 2months left with them and will be extremely happy to cancel my contract, moreover, I will do everything in my power to sue them under EU Consumer Rights Law (that states that contract should be clear and fair to both sides) as Fair Usage Policy is one of those things that allows BT to do anything they want to their customers;
    1. No clear explanation of what FUP is.
    2. Does not states the amount of downloaded data required to have cap on the acount
    3. Does not states for how long it will be applied
    4. Does not states when it will be applied
    If you look at e.g. Virgin Broadband everything is clearly written in nice and understandable way. It warns you at what times FUP will be applied under what circumstances and for how long. Isn't it what we all want to know??

    @Mateusz I think I maybe a victim of this outragous stint BT have done. I have 2 XBOX 360's running on XBOX Live, 2 Desktop PCs connected to the web constantly, and 3 laptops, we have a torrent sharing running and World Of Warcraft on one of the PCs. All of this is shared across a 6 person family. How can a family where two members goto to college and university do their college ork, download application such as VB.net do their coursework and revise without the hassle of a **** connection. Seriously BT get your ******* head outta your **** and stop this ********, we are customers, we pay for what we are offered. When I signed up several years ago I could download everything on the net woithout infracions on my line being set in motion. You altered my contract without telling me. You will lose custom from this. Also you have ****** my wireless

    You lot are lucky, We wish we could be capped to 1mbit. Our IP profile is capped to 500kbit because BT say the line isn't good enough for anything more. We are paying for option3 up to 8mbit and BT have said we must continue to pay for it for the remainder of the contract, or buy ourselves out of it early, the reason they give.... Up to 8mbit means up to 8mbit. If you dont get 8mbit then TOUGH LUCK SUCKERS!!
    The outcome? We feel like we've been turned over by a dodgey second hand car salesman called BT. The internet deal he flogged us was a dog, a ringer, it wasn't cosher and certainly had a false MOT certificate.

    Hi Amanda,
    Why have you joined BT Option 3 when you can not get what BT can offer?
    No pun intended but you are a bit of a sucker for paying high prices where other suppliers are cheaper and can provide what your line can support.

    we moved house last october to this one, the connection was rubbish from the get-go, BT said the router was broken and we needed a new one, we said OK. That "OK" meant that we had entered into a new contract for option 3 same as out old one. The router wasn't broken, the new one didnt fix or improve the problem, we have since asked for a price reduction or compensation and been told "no". we are in contract and can pay to buy ourselves out of it if we like but otherwise we have to pay for option 3 and recieve fixed rate 500kb.

    Hi Amanda,
    I think you'll find that the Hold To Term rules have changed. BT are now unable to charge you for the account if you no longer require it. It is against OFCOM's rulings for a company to make more money out of you as a leaving customer than an existing one. However, You will need to pay for the connection charge (if that has not expired it's original differed contract) which is £40. A cancellation fee of £25 if you are simply cancelling and not migrating using a MAC key and for any hardware. The Routers are advertised at £88 and i would suggest that if they believed on to be faulty then that would be replaced under guarantee and not be put on a differed basis. I would check exactly what they say the are charging you and query this through OFCOM. http://www.ofcom.org.uk/

    Months of impecable service form BT as an option 3 customer. (I've even recommended BT to people)
    but
    For the past 2 weeks peak traffic has murdered my connection.
    I can get 14mbit off peak, and it used to drop to about 7-9 at peak times.
    Now its down to 1-2mbit at peak times. (no i haven't breached FUP as I check my btinternet inbox for the 80GB warning)
    I think its resonable to experience drop off but 90%!!!
    BT advertising says fast speeds at peak times. less than 2mbit is not fast. (that the governments minimum standard!!!)
    I don't know how to procede because when I'm experiencing these issues if I ring up I will end up waiting so long to speak to someone (because its peak time) the concection wiill be better again.
    I can think of no recourse other than to approach trading standards...
    Guarnetee me 5mbit at peak times (enough to stream HD iplayer) and I'd be happy
    That is what BT vision customers are in essence are getting + what ever their PC is using.
    Fair usage? what about Fair Supply.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

  • Slow Loading On iWeb Pages - Really in Need of Help! (Thanks!!) :o)

    Hi Everyone!
    I have been a lurker here, learning from reading other's posts. I am in serious need of help, as I have been struggling with this issue for over a week and I can't move forward to other things until I get it resolved...
    Here's what's up: I am creating a single-page website as a landing page for a product I offer. (These are very common now in product marketing). The page is here: http://www.howtogetamazingrelationships.com.
    The page that is there is about the 4th iteration of the page in the quest for a faster-loading page. Everytime I test it - no matter what I do - it ends up being about a 24 second load time. Here's a sample test for review: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=howtogetamazingrelationships.com&treeview=0&column =objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Here are the things I have done to try to speed this baby up:
    1. Took my youtube video off auto-play.
    2. Optimized the site using Web Site Maestro. 27% decrease in size; no load time difference.
    3. Took out shapes and graphics.
    4. Rebuilt the site on a blank template - now it is actually a little worse!
    5. Took out the website.js file - totally messed things up.
    6. Eliminated the navigation.
    Nothing is even showing the least bit of difference in speed...and it is driving me crazy.
    Here's the thing - I have also contacted Web Site Maestro's support for help, and they said that the problem was the size of the site and the length of the page. But here's the thing - I checked the load speed of a page that is about double my page size and length, and it loads in like 4 seconds: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/page2.php&treevi ew=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true
    Anyone have help/advice for me? I am so frustrated with this, as the iWeb is crazy-easy to build, but I can't have a simple one-page product page load that slow. No one is going to stay around for 24 seconds!
    I just am at the end up my rope and don't know anything else to do. I really don't want to rebuild the site again and still not see results, so any help would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks so much in advance, and I hope you are all having a beautiful day -

    Okay, more info -
    I checked my site on a different web analyzer, and it does seem to be loading quickly - 15.66 seconds for a 56 k, but only 3.6 for T1. So that is good -
    One thing I noticed in the recommendations is that there are 6 scripts that are running, that can slow things down. I don't really know how to change that (I am pretty web-savvy, but far from a developer) Here's what they recommended on the page -
    Analysis and Recommendations from webanalyzer.com:
    TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 18 total objects on this page. From 12 to 20 objects per page, the latency due to object overhead makes up from 75% to 80% of the delay of the average web page. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details. Consider reducing, eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS, JavaScript, iFrames and XHTML) to reduce the total number of objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images.
    TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (10 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can help reduce HTTP requests.
    TOTAL_SCRIPT - Warning! The total number of external script files on this page is 6 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refactor, and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages. Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in XHTML web pages.
    HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 60492 bytes, which is above 50K but below 100K. With 50K of images and multimedia this means that your page will load in about 20 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.

  • Do I have DNS problems? Slow loading or no access ...

    Hi all,
    Most of the time my broadband seems to play nicely however I seem to have painfully slow loading or non-loading websites with annoying regularity. It is not all sites and the problem seems rather selective.
    Sites that I know are up (such as bbc.co.uk) are sometimes impossible to load. A speed test shows somewhere between 2Mb and 7.5Mb (yeah, I know - contention in my area is a real issue).
    If I VPN out to a proxy server then everything works just fine.
    Does anyone know if this is a BT DNS issue?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 but still no joy - pick a random page and some work, some don't. My smart TV is decidedly dumb and nothing will stream. Give it a few hours and it is usually fine.
    I am also randomly getting the message that "You're seeing this page becasue BT parental controls is active and you are attemtping to connect to a DNS outside of our network" which I am not...
    [sigh]

  • Very Slow Download Speed

    Hi,
    I am experiencing very slow downloading speeds, when I am just normally downloading something in Safari, or downloading a torrent with upto 100 seeders.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s, which is painfully slow for downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb.
    I have a router, connected to 2 computers, and speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s.
    It seems like download speeds are being restricted to 80kb/s, so is there any way to 'unlock' full potential downloading speeds?
    Any help much appreciated!

    I think you're making the same mistake a lot of people make.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s
    Safari reports downloads in kiloBYTES per second, not kilobits, so that 80KB/s translates to about 640 kilobits per second.
    downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb
    Really? 1 gigabit per second? I assume that's a typo.
    speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s
    therefore your downloads are progressing at about 64% of maximum. That sounds about right - you won't get maximum throughput for every download - it will vary based on server location, network load and more.

  • My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages

    My Ipad is extremely slow loading pages. It doesn't matter where I am, so I don' t think it is related to the wi-fi service.
