Super slow Internet connection when going abroad

Hi,
I have recently shifted my Macbook pro from London to Copenhagen and in doing so my internet connection has slowed to almost impossible speed. The same machine has worked on the same network in the past absolutely fine. A second machine has also been moved from London to this same network and is working fine. What coujld the problem be?
Many thanks

  • 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.

  • Why the super slow internet connection on my MBP?

    This falls into the category of FYI, or FWIW. I'm going to answer my question for the good of the community,
    I suddenly noticed a significant reduction in my internet connection at home on my MacBookPro. According to speakeasy.net/speedtest I was getting over 11 Mbps down and 1.5 up before then suddenly I was down to 1 Mbps downloads and .25 uploads. I tried 3 browsers and an scp transfer via the terminal from my web server and all with the same results.
    However, the mystery deepened when I tested other computers in the house and they were getting the original 11 Mbps. So, I took my computer downstairs next to the router and also got the original 11 Mbps. So, I went back upstairs, but instead of plugging in my old 23" Cinema display, I tested without. You know what happened, right? Yup, 11 Mbps. Plugged in the Cinema display and back down to 1 Mbps.
    I have no idea what is going on, other something in the Cinema display is interferring with my wireless connection.

  • Slower internet connection when someone streams videos

    Like the title states, every time some decides to stream a video, the internet connection for everyone else would be considerably slower or would no longer connect to the router. We currently have 5 laptops on the router and I was wondering if that could be the problem?Also, is there a method to have all of us on without making the internet slower?
    Thanks a lot!

    technically, the more computers you have behind a router then the lesser the bandwidth for each computer. computers share the bandwidth provided by the modem. the router's duty is to distribute this bandwidth to x number of client computers. video streaming eats up a lot of bandwidth and may therefore affect other computers on the network.

  • Super slow internet connection with time capsule.

    Time Capsule wireless internate speed is insanely slow its super anoying, i have 15mb from comcast, and speedtest its scoring under 3.5mb down and 0.06mb up with a ping of 1025ms yees 1025ms this is unacceptable its almost impossible to use the internet please i need some help.

    How can I get my time capsule to work like it used to?
    Your TC is too old.. the power supply is on the edge of dying. The hard disk is probably also on its last legs..
    The wireless card itself might be nearing EOL.. it is now 4years old.. or a bit more.. most stuff now is really not made to last more than 3years.. and the early TC tended to die in droves at 2years.
    If you are prepared for some DIY.. you can fix it.

    I have several suggestions. At various prices and difficulty.
    I would replace the hard drive.. it is out of warranty and has run in a super hot environment that is outside its spec.. and still it refused to die.. at the very least run a full pass erase from the disk utility, and see if error come up or the drive is slow. It might be weak read areas of the drive.
    Frankly .. unless you like the challenge, it is simply time for a new one.

  • 7510e printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep

    I own a 7510e all in one printer, I connected it wireless again after having it connected with a USB
    cable, I had to do this because my printer loses internet connectivity when it goes to sleep or if I get a power outage, this has been going on since I purchased it last year. I got a new wireless router/modem combo from my ISP server and hoped that would solve the problem but it has not.
    I cannot get any apps except for those that are on the front of my printer which are just for small kids. I am now told that this printer has been discontinued and 7520 has replaced it, I do not wish to spend another $200.00 in less than a year for a printer. It is registered with HP connected and I have a Efax # and HP connected address, I did everything correctly but it seems that each time I set it up wireless it messes up my desktop windows 7 home premium 64 bit, cloud services told me not to use  IE 10 but we are ready to download IE11 so I am using IE 10, this time HP support assistant quit working and I could not even uninstall it until I downloaded microsoft fix it and then redownloaded it from HP web site.
    If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I am not on a home group yet it always tells me I do not have administrators permission to do a lot of things, I am the only user.

  • 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.

  • Very Slow Internet Connection and Backups

    I have had a Time Capsule for some time now (1st generation) and it has caused nothing but headaches. I have put up with it for some time but I have a very slow internet connection and cannot leave Time Machine on or it bogs down my machine, so I only backup periodically. Specifics are provided below.
    I have a poor internet connection to begin with. When plugged in directly either to my modem or through Ethernet to the Time Capsule, I get download speeds of ~ 2.9 Mbits/sec download, 0.7 Mbits/sec upload. When connected over wireless, the speeds drop to about 0.6 Mbits/sec download, 0.6 Mbits/sec upload. I feel like I am working on dial-up. I have both a Mac and a PC, and speeds are the same on both, so it does not appear to be a computer issue. I have played with various settings in the Airport, including how connected (b-n or n only), DHCP settings, etc, but nothing makes a difference. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the discussion area, bigbrianb!
    Have you downloaded a utility like iStumbler to get a look at the signal strength and noise on your wireless network?
    iStumbler will display most of the other wireless networks around you, so you'll have an idea of the competition for unused channels. Ideally, you want your network to be on a channel that is at least 4-5 channels away from any other network to minimize the chances of wireless interference. Is that the case there?
    Your signal strength should be 50% or greater and noise less than 10% for a good quality connection on your network. Is that the case there?
    There are more things to test, but this will get things going.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Due to slow internet connection, I cannot update my iphoe to new version 5. Is there any shortcut

    Due to slow internet connection, I cannot update my iphoe to new version 5. Is there any shortcut where I can update my iphone to new version quickly

    If your computer's connection is slow then you can update your iOS from your phone.
    Find a free, strong Wi-Fi network.
    Go to Settings>General>Software Update>choose option "Download and Install"
    Benefit: if you update phone through this method the actual download size will be only 30 to 50 MB only! and it works fine! if you try to download iOS from iTunes it will goes around 800MB.

  • Thunderport to ethernet slow internet connection

    Hello,
    I just bought a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet connection cable for my MBA Mid 2012 and I'm experiencing slow internet connection.  I have TWC 50mbs service and routinely test at around 55mbs on Speedtest.net.  I just plugged in the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet cable and now it's down to a trickle at around 1-2mbs down and up.  Ping times are good, just the throughput is slow.
    Is this normal? Thanks!

    Thank you both for your quick help! I figured out it was my Network setting, I had to set it to manual and to 1000baseT or something like that with full duplex.  Now I am getting full throughput.  I think for some reason, the "Automatic" setting wasn't working with my Switch (DLink Gigabit 8 port switch).  When I went to manual, it worked.
    Your response clicked in my head to check the hardware not focus on the internet speed.  Thanks!

  • Unbearably slow Internet connection using WDS network

    We have an old Airport Extreme (saucer, 802.11b/g) and an Airport Express (802.11n, b/g compatible). We're using the Extreme as a WDS main, and the Express as WDS relay. Wireless devices that connect to the Internet in our house include a MacBook Pro, a couple of iPhones, an iPod Touch, an XBox 360, and a PS3.
    None of these wireless devices are in direct line of sight to the main base station. Typically, our connection to the Internet is decent for the XBox, which has almost a clear line of sight to the relay (Express) base station. On the other hand, the connection for the MacBook Pro, iPhones, and iPod, is extremely slow. Maybe the actual connection speeds are the same for all devices, but at least for the XBox online gaming works. (Haven't tried online gaming with the PS3 yet.)
    The problem that compelled me to post this thread is the slow Internet connection to our MacBook. When our MacBook Pro is moved from its usual location to a place just a few feet away from the Extreme, download speeds are satisfactory (e.g. 10,000+ kbps measured using Speakeasy.net). However, when we sit farther away from the Extreme and are only a few feet from the Express, download speeds are dismal (200-300 kbps). The Internet connection is noticeably slow; web pages load like molasses, and watching streaming video is almost impossible. Upload speeds are usually about 7-10x faster, which is kind of strange.
    Airtunes is off. We've tried setting up the Express base station as a WDS remote instead of relay, no difference. Allow wireless clients is turned on for both main and relay. Channel 1, WPA2 personal security.
    Part of the problem may be due to the fact that our house is steel framed so, depending on location, the frame of the house may get in the way of our wireless network. But even if the MacBook is within 2 feet of the Express with NO walls or obstacles in between, the speed remains dismal. The line of sight from the Extreme (main) to the Express (relay) is impeded by a few obstacles but little in the way of walls.
    However, if the MacBook is close to the Extreme, with good speeds, then I walk away and sit near the Express, I still get good download speeds. This lasts only a short time. Also, if I turn off Airport on my MacBook Pro and turn it back on again, speeds are back down right away.
    I understand WDS cuts the bandwidth down substantially, so I decided to unplug the Express and just use the Extreme station, set to create a wireless network instead of participate as main in a WDS network. When I do this I get satisfactory speeds on the MacBook Pro, even sitting at a location where I used to get the slow speeds.
    So at first I thought forgetting about WDS completely would seem to be the solution to the problem. That seems to be true for the MacBook, but when the Express is offline and the Extreme is the only base station, the XBox and PS3 now are the devices with a very poor connection to the Internet, as there are 3+ steel framed walls between the base station and the devices. When the WDS network is up, the XBox and PS3 are almost in direct line of sight to the relay station (but then I lose speed on the MacBook and other devices.)
    I'm trying to find a solution that allows a good speed connection for all these devices. Right now I have to choose between a regular network with a good connection for my MacBook, or a WDS network that allows gaming but appears to be worthless for the MacBook.
    Your assistance is most welcome.

    I'm trying to find a solution that allows a good speed connection for all these devices.
    The solution is to run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the AirPort Express (AX). Then you won't need to use WDS and you won't suffer the bandwidth penalty of WDS. Then you would configure both the AEBS and AX to create a wireless network using the same SSID (network name) and wireless encryption type/level/password. The AX should be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
