Sprint slow Internet speed out of no where anyone else please help

I have a sprint iPhone 4 and suddenly my 3G speeds have been really slow I don know what could be goin on I've called sprint and they have refreshed my service and it's still happening I have also done restores
My brother has the same iPhone 4 with sprint and his speeds are up to 1.24/ 1.98 mbps downlaod and .78/.89 upload
And my speeds are slower the highest speeds I've gotten are .79 mbps download and .45 upload
Slowest speeds I have gotten which is the most common speeds I get now is about .14/.16 Mbps download and .45 upload

In my personal opinion, Sprint iPhone seems to have issues when switching from wi-fi to 3G. It seems to cause a (hickup) in the data speed. This seems to be pretty consistant (75% of the time), when going from wi-fi to 3G.
The following steps tend to fix it 95% of the time.
Before you try the steps below, make sure you give your phone a SPRINT network update (not apple update, however...an apple update is a good idea too.)
To perform a sprint update, open your phone keypad, like you are going to make a phone call. Then dial ##UPDATE# then press "call". You will get a popup that says "starting service update" . press "okay" . the popup window will close. For 60-90 seconds, your phone will look l,ike nothing is hapening. You will then get a message that says "service update complete". press "okay". the popup will close. At this time, look at your 3G symbol on the top left. It will dissapear as the phone reconnects to the cell tower. When the reconnect happens , you will initially see a "o" where the 3G symbol was. then within 5-10 seconds the 3G will appear again. At this point power the phone off. wait 60 seconds, then power back on.
Now, next time your phone data is dragging, the next step should fix it.
#1, go to settings>airplane mode>off. wait 60 seconds, then turn back on. This will reset the tower connections and fixes the issue most of the time.
#2. If #1 doesn't help. Power the phone down, wait 60 seconds, then turn back on.
#3. If #1 or #2 doesn't help, contact sprint.
This is an ongoing issue with Sprint for me, I have called NUMEROUS times, and this is Sprint tech supports most effective solution. However , no one can tell me how to keep this from occuring.
Good Luck!

Slow Internet Speed out of NO WHERE

Well I have a decent Internet Speed... Until about a week ago I started noticing that my downloads were going at a 30-60kb/s speed when normally they go at 80-100kb/s (Hey, if I was an adult, I'd been buy way faster Internet, but come on, I'm only 14). So yeah I don't know if its something with my settings or Verizon is just down for a while... but yeah I'm going to try my Internet with out my router connected and see how that goes...because it might be something in the router's settings.

you really shouldn't use the internet without a router between you and the modem... your just asking to get a virus....
its likely that you have spyware/adware due to the porn sites you've been visiting...
download and run "adaware" and remove any infections...
you might also run "hijack this" it will tell you anything that is having any effect on your computer... if you post a read out of the hijack this results, i can tell you what you should remove...

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.

I also got this from the BTW speed tester

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:

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, 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.

We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

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
    1 gw1-g-vlan201.dca.giganews.com (216.196.98.4) 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms
    2 ash-bb1-link.telia.net (213.248.70.241) 39 ms 7 ms 7 ms
    3 TenGigE0-2-0-0.GW1.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.125.125.41) 4 ms 4 ms GigabitEthernet2-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.65.76.189) 4 ms
    4 so-7-1-0-0.PHIL-CORE-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.20.137) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    5 P3-0-0.PHIL-DSL-RTR11.verizon-gni.net (130.81.13.170) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    6 static-71-242-*-*.phlapa.east.verizon.net (71.242.*.*) 32 ms 32 ms 33 ms
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 speeds and constant disconnections

Hi, when i first got BT broadband (unlimited option) i was getting 2mbps, now it seems that i can barely go past 100kbs. Strangely enough all internet speed tests i do results show that i get around 1mbps, but that is not what i am getting. If i download something i can barely browse the internet due to it taking all the 100kbs.

Since getting BT broadband my router has been constantly loosing connection and at points restarting itself. I could live with that due to the nice speed i was getting. If anyone could please help me i would appreciate it very much.

There are noticeable speed issues however you noise margin is high at 22.4 normal default is 6db when reduced to that level your connection speed would increase and like wise your download speed you could contact the forum mods and ask them to reset your noise margin this is a link to them

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.

You don't download it. it is built in to your iphone, unless it was originally purchased from one of the Middle eastern countries where it is not allowed.
You should not leave your e-mail on a public forum.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Report it to the police. Report it to your wireless service provider. Attempt to use BB Protect to wipe it clean. Outside of that, there is nothing to be done. If your personal issues prevent you from carrying this out, then you must consider all of your data on your BB to be compromised.
Good luck!

If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.
