Very SLOW connection - 5 mbps download

Since November, 2014, I've been experiencing very slow connection.
Redlands, CA 92373
5 mbps download 30 mbps upload
Called the call center 5 times. Each time, just a bunch of rebooting the router & speedtest.net checking
A new Verizon router was installed and didn't improve anything.
Technician 1 visited and mentioned that there is a network hardware problem in the area and many people called in for slow connection issues. The technician rebooted the ONT box and said if the speed goes down again, the ONT box should be replaced. The speed went down as soon as the technical left.
Technician 2 visited and replaced the ONT box. Later that day, the speed went down to 5 mpbs for download.
It's so slow at the time of writing this that Facebook page is rendered with texts only.
Are there anyone from Redlands, CA area who have been experiencing the slow connection for a while?
I don't want to call in again to go thru another around of 1 hour long rebooting / resetting the router and chekcing the speedtest.net exercises.
I feel I am being ripped off because I am paying for 75/75.
I'm running out of patience and am considering to switch to Timewarner.

Oh Man this things popping out of everywhere!!!!!!!

Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
Thanks,
JJ

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Very slow connection with Mifi 4510L??

I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. Via test on speedtest.net I'm seeing download speed of .17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing. I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed. Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device)
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Brian

I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510L
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4500/novatel-wireless-mifi-4510l-review-the-best-4g-lte-wifi-hotspot/4
1) "selecting WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)"
2) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems"
(I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)
3) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)
4) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my house
5) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility.
It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. At first I was wondering if heat was part of the problem - going so far as to have it sitting on an ice pack to test that theory. Of course then I had to wonder if maybe I was freezing it -lol. I am careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well.
I've been on it most of the day and it seems to be behaving well - so fingers crossed

Help : very slow connection speed with AEBS and iMac

I connect to the internet using my newly purchased AEBS. I have a MacBook and an 24" iMac ( purchased in Nov 2007). My iMac showed very slow connecting speed of <1 MB/s download; with my MacBook placed just 1 foot from my iMac, the MacBook showed an amazing download speed of 20MB/s. If i connect the iMac to the AEBS using ethernet cable, it can get a very high speed.
So, where is the problem??
I am new to wireless, please help. I use iMac more than my MacBook at home.
Actually, i did not touch the any of the advance setting of the AEBS.

You know, I am experiencing the same problem. My wife's PC and iPhone are blazing fast, but my MacBook is accessing the internet at about dial-up speeds. Very frustrating and I haven't yet found the culprit.
Anyone???

ARD 3.7.2 very slow connection on Lan

I'm running ARD 3.7.2 on MacBook Air (OSX 10.9.2) to connect mac mini (8gb / osx 10.9.2) very slow connection on LAN.
Mini connected to LAN 100Mbit Ethernet, MacBook connection is wi-fi

Ok, I solved it after doing some extensive Google searching. Still not sure why ARD went bonkers, but here's my fix.
1. Download the ARD 3.7.1 client drom the Apple downloads page and install it manually on the client machine.
2. Go back to the administrator machine and delete the computer client from the computers list.
3. From the scanners list, find the now visible client machine (it will probably say "no user name or password" next to it) and drag it to the computer list.
4. When you drag it over it will ask for the username and password. Fill in an administrator user name and password for that computer, click OK and you're done.
Still a mystery as to why ARD software itself will not create new client packages. I still haven't figured that part out. Downloading the standard client package from Apple is the only work around I know of so far. Good luck.

Very slow connection after phone line repair

I had my phone line repaired yesterday with new cabling and new BT box for phone and computer.My phone is fine, but the hub for my broadband does not appear to be ok. the phone symbol on the hub did not light up at all this morning, and after restarting the hub and going back to default settings it is now glowing orange only. It was ok yesterday after being fixed. Very slow connection now. Should i keep everything on to see if it will right itself, or re-start yet again?
I have been looking on BT's options for fixing but can't seem to find anything. the connections in my area are fine so it can't be an outside fault

Which home hub do you have? Did you recently re-contract or change your package, as that will affect your hub phone.
As for the speed issue, it should get better if you leave it alone.

Exchange 2013 - outlook in LAN environment very slow upload but fast download - not using 'use cached exchange mode'

Hi,
I have Exchange 2013 setup in a new environment (no migration) and it is working great except I just realized there is a big problem.
I notice the following
Problem 1:
Outlook 2010 with sp2 with cached exchange mode on: when I import the pst into outlook, it imports fine but the sync is extremely slow. It uploads to the Exchange 2013 mail server at 20-70KB/sec (bytes) via LAN.
Problem 2:
Outlook 2010 with sp2 with cached exchange mode off: when I import the pst into outlook, it imports extremely slow. It uploads to the Exchange 2013 mail server at 20-70KB/sec (bytes) via LAN.
More info:
-user1 has 1GB of mail and when setting up the user on a new pc with outlook with cached exchange mode on, it downloads the mail very fast. It downloads at 40-80 Mbps/sec (bits).
-I have Exchange 2013 with CU3 with win2k12 non r2.
Why is the download so fast from Exchange 2013 but the upload to Exchange 2013 is extremely slow? How do I fix this?
Thanks

I did some more testing.
I setup a test environment with:
-Exchange 2013 SP1 on win2k12 r2
-Outlook 2010 SP2 on windows 7 sp1
-Outlook 2010 SP2 on windows 8.1
-Outlook 2013 SP1 on windows 8.1
Both windows 7 and windows 8.1 have the very slow upload issue to Exchange 2013. Windows 7 upload to Exchange 2013 is around 20-70KB/sec (bytes) via LAN. Windows 8.1 upload is a bit more responsive at around 500-600KB/sec (bytes) via LAN.
I changed the TcpAckFrequency to 1 for windows 7 and 8.1 and the problem went away. The upload on both Windows 7 and 8.1 was going at megabytes after the change.
I hope Microsoft fixes this soon.
PowerShell script to have this automated via GPO:
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/571571-outlook-slow-after-migrating-to-exchange-2013
PowerShell Script:
$strGUIDS=[array](Get-WmiObject win32_networkadapter -filter "netconnectionstatus = 2" | select -expand GUID)
foreach ($strGUID in $strGUIDS) {New-ItemProperty -path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\$strGUID -propertytype DWORD -name TcpAckFrequency -value 1}

Iphone 5 personal hotspot slow connection to MBP

Hi guys, my personal hotspot connection has been running extremely slowl on my MBP circa 2q2010 model. It tethers fine and all and is recognised as connected but the download speeds are super low, I try loading webpages on BOTH the iphone 5 and the MBP and they both load slowly while connected to each other.
Here's the puzzling thing, when I disconnect the two, the iphone loads pages quickly and suffers no speed issues.
Then I tried connecting it to an ipad via Wifi and the iPad has excellent speed and so does the iPhone. I'm very puzzled by all this since it used to run fine before but it's been a few weeks since i connected via iPhone.
Normally when I connect I connect via USB, and turn off the MBP wifi connection, this time around, nothing works. Would appreciate some advise.
One more thing, I updated system software yesterday, I know it's tempting to blame it on the system upgrade, and it probably is the reason but i just wanted to check here first. The software update may also be unrelated.

Hi bichir!

Very slow connection with WRT54GS.

It appeared out of nowhere 2 days ago... slow connection for websites, very high latency for online games to a point where it's unplayable... i tried to reset my router, change channel(i'm usually at channel 6), moving the antennas... nothing. when i reset, the speed is fine for a few minutes, but after a while it's back to slow connection. My router isn't even 1 year old yet and it's already broken? I can't believe that, there must be some solution. Anyone can help please?

The latest firmware is 1.02.0 if you have wrt54gs v6 & V5 if yout got v7 the latest firmware is 7.50.0
First step you need to check is your direct connection from the modem.
1. hardwire your computer straight to the modem using a cat 5 ethernet cable, if your download speed and your internet connection is slow, the problem is with the modem or with your ISP so you need to call your ISP and double check your connection.
If your speed if fine straight to the modem then its with the router.
2.Hardwire your computer straight to the router if your speed is fine when its hardwired through the router, then the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless settings of the router.
In US the standard channel is 11,6 and 1. So play around with the channel. If its still doesnt work then access the setup page of your router click on the WIRELESS tab click on ADVANCE WIRELESS SETTINGS sub tab. set beacon interval to 50, RTS and Fragmentation Threshold to 2304.
After that turn off the modem the router and your computer for 1min. After a minute turn on the modem first after lights of your modem are steady, turn on the router and lastly turn on your computer, check your connection if its fine then its fixed if not call linksys tech support.
I hope this would help. Good Luck!

My computer has been getting the pin wheel and moving very slow since the i downloaded yosemite

Whenever i have a video playing from my internet browser it causes my computer to pin wheel and go into thinking mode with all of my apps that are open. It moves very slow and i have to force quit everything and reboot my computer to make it act normal. this all started after the software update. Any suggestions>

Mine has been moving extremely slow, too. I had a problem downloading and installing Yosemite and after many conversations with Apple Care, the solution was to remove the 3rd party RAM I had just installed prior to the upgrade. That solved the download/install problem, but now it's slow as anything. I opened my activity monitor and sure enough, the memory pressure is at full load so I have to install more memory. The trick is to make sure it's truly compatible.
Have you checked your activity monitor's memory report?

Since download of Firefox Hello desktop & laptop both on Windows 7 are very slow even after refresh, download history removed and anti virus software turned off

Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?

Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

Very slow connecting to WRTU54G-TM... Any ideas?

I am trying out T-Mobile's VOIP phone service which uses a Linksys WRTU54G-TM wireless router. When I attempt to connect to the WRTU54G-TM, it takes over a minute before it connects. I also have a Linksys WRT54G router which always connects in just a few seconds. The settings on the two are identical. Anyone know what the problem is? Other than the connection time, it works ok. Thanks

I'm having the same issue as well as very slow internet (from 4.5Mbps with wrt54g down to .5Mbps with wrtu54g-tm)
only setting that I can find different is the wrt54g is set to "gateway" mode and wrtu54g-tm is set to "router" mode.
I'm trying MAC cloning from the old wrt54g I'll let you know if that helps, however ISP says it shouldn't matter

Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt Adaptor is very slow on new MBP

I have new mbp 13" md101 and Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt Adaptor + seagate go flex 1TB, and speed is only 16mb/s tested with black magic and 13GB files copy. I did software update too, but the result is same, Whats wrong with this new MBP ?

Just in case someone else comes across this… The reason you're seeing slow speeds with a thunderbolt adapter is that you have formatted your disk with NTFS. Macintosh computers cannot recognize this format natively but you can use NTFS for Mac (http://www.paragon-software.com) which will allow you to use the disc with both platforms. I did this and found no benefits whatsoever. It is MUCH better to dedicate a USB 2 or USB 3 external drive for windows use only. I formatted a 1.5 TB drive with NTFS then installed the NTFS for Mac software. The drive worked fine HOWEVER, when you do a search with the Mac to find a file or something it cannot search the NTFS drive. So basically, anything you place on the NTFS drive from your Macintosh you will be unable to find when searching. That's a big deal! The other limitation I found was using the drive on my new Seagate thunderbolt adapter. Unless you're booted natively in to Windows on your Macintosh, Windows cannot see the drive. Secondly and very important of course, it's very very slow. It took forever to copy the information I had stored on the drive to other drives… Reformat and use the drive as a Mac external. The data transfer is ridiculously slow and reformatting the drive from NTFS back to Mac OS extended journaled also took a very long time.
To summarize, formatting a drive with NTFS so that you can use it for both Windows and Mac sounds like a great idea but in reality it's not so great unless you're okay with slow speeds and the inability to search the drive with the Mac.
