Very Slow FiOS Internet In Bradeonton, FL

Very slow here in Bradenton for the last several weeks. Supposed to be seeing 50/25 but only getting 5/5. This seems to happen every 6-8 months. Did a Verizon Speed Test for the South region and am only seeing 15/8. Last couple of times this happened, it was due to a problem at the main station - equipment related. So frustrating.

I am sorry to hear about the speed slow downs. There can be many things effecting the speed. Are you running these tests from a wired or wireless connection? Please also post what steps you have tried with your equipment to try to fix this so we do not waste your time.

  • Working very slow on internet. Yet without internet shows normal speed.

    I am using Window 7. I have very serious problem with speed in firefox when connected with internet. It works very slow. When I tested without internet it was working normal. I have tried various anti-virus tools and adware removal softwares. I also contacted with internet service provider. But when I test internet speed it shows around 2 MB or enough desired speed.
    I also replaced my hard drive in the doubt of any damage. I am using dell-3500 laptop with intel i3 core processor (32 bit OS) Surprisingly when I uninstall and re-install firefox browser it shows always previously installed adons and setting looking like using old settings. Sometime but not always it also shows the popup like : "some type of script is running . do you want to debug or stop".
    Now going to be very frustrated not able to detect exact issue of slowing down of browser. Sometime so slow that if I scroll down with mouse it jerk and take few seconds to shift only one inch downward and when I open new tab it takes 20-30 sec to open new web page. I am looking for any help.

    Is this with all pages?

  • Very slow wireless internet when running on AC power

    Since installing Leopard (and then updated to 10.5.5), I have been having really incredibly slow wireless internet access - however it is only like this when the AC power cable is plugged in. If I pull the power lead out and work on the battery, then the internet starts working again almost immediately. The airport signal isn't lost at any point, so I am a bit confused.
    I have reset the PRAM, entered new DNS servers (opendns.org ones) and even set my RWIN lower as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670430 but with no noticeable result.
    My macbook pro is 2.33ghz Core 2 duo. I'm using a Belkin n1 router with WEP encryption. The idea that the power supply would affect my wireless internet like this seems really bizarre. I would be grateful if anyone has any idea what could be going on here.

    Well l.e.o, since no one else is taking a stab: check your System Preferences > Hardware > Energy Saver settings. See if Settings for Power Adapter, Optimization, is not set for "Better Performance." It may be set for "Better Energy Savings," and the settings for Battery are set to Optimized for Better Performance?

  • Ethernet connection very slow.FIOS.. Help

    All of a sudden, when I turned my mac on today and booted up Firefox, my connection was incredibly slow(almost taking 1-2 minutes to load a normal page). Some pages aren't even loading. It seems very out of the ordinary
    -I figured maybe it was just Firefox, so I turned on Safari...nothing
    -I figured it was disk space, so I freed up 18 gigs of 80...nothing
    -I figured it was the ethernet cable, so i ran a network diagnostic check...it said My internet connection was fine
    -I figured maybe I had a bad wire or something, so I plugged in in another room where another Computer regularly plugs in...still slow.
    -The other computer currently plugged into the router is still going strong.
    -I tried resetting it, by turning the router off and letting it set....nothing
    -I'm not sure if it matters but the cable I use, is used for both my xbox360 and my mac...and it works fine with xbox live. So Im assuming the connection is good.
    -I ran Clam, and I can't find any trojans(or any files to my knowledge of being corrupt)
    Can anyone help me out?

    I took mine in yesterday and payed $80 for them to look at it because I don't have warranty anymore, they told me that it may be a router issue. I took the computer to my girlfriends house where she has a Time Capsule and it worked amazing. So be careful taking your computer to the shop. They may not be able to help you that much.

  • Adobe CS6 installation is very slow if internet access is blocked

    Hi,
    I noticed that our Adobe CS6 installations (using an AAMEE package) were surprisingly slow (as in five hours on a fast machine).  I've worked out the cause of the problem, and am posting it here in the hope that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue - also, if anyone from Adobe is reading this, it would be nice to get it fixed, at least for future releases. :-)
    The problem is that our machines don't have direct access to web sites on the internet, i.e., port 80 traffic is blocked by the external firewall.  I discovered that the CS6 installer was repeatedly attempting to contact various web sites, including crl.verisign.net, presumably in order to validate digital certificates on files in the install package.  Each such attempt had to time out before the next was made.  Configuring Windows Firewall to block these attempts reduced the install time from five hours to thirty minutes.
    On Windows 7, this command can be used to install a firewall rule that will block outgoing port 80 traffic:
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="block www" dir=out action=block protocol=tcp remoteport=80
    Once installation is finished, this command will remove the rule:
    netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="block www"

    For later versions (Adobe CC and onwards) you need to block port 443 as well as port 80.

  • Very slow ADSL Internet connection on my Mac mini

    Hello,
    At home I have a little network with 4 Macs; one iMac G4, one iMac G5, one PowerBook G4 and one Mac mini (Intel dual core 1 GB).
    The "old" PPC based Macs is running at 2500 kbit/s on Internet but my new Mac mini is "running" on 100-200 kbit/s.
    - That is a 1/20 speed compared with the other older Macs.
    My network is wire-based. That is a NOKIA ADSL modem (M5112), and a Dray Tek Vigor 2000 isdn Router with 6 ports.
    One other thing. The download-speed from Internet is very varying; it downloads a second or two, then it stops and wait a second or two before it continue.
    I have tested the speed on different speed-testers and over several days.
    Please gi me some advice if you have any.
    Best regards,

    I need to post a response to my previous post. My connection problem has been solved and it was the standard answers I usually give to newbies:
    I was on the phone with my ISP to see if I could manually input the DNS Servers settings as another user mentioned this. The wait time was incredibly long... of course... so while I waited, I reset (unplugged) the DSL modem then the Router. I've done this recently, but this solved the problem instantly this time. You may want to try this even if you've done it before. I can't believe it worked. We'll see if it "sticks" this time.

  • Very slow wireless internet on MBP 15"

    My laptop has been working perfectly on wifi until around the last 2 weeks or so. Maybe it has something to do with an update.. When I connect my laptop to the internet with an ethernet cable it is blazing fast as it should be.. I'm very disappointed that I'm already having problems with the computer and I've had it around 3 months. I hope Apple can address this problem ASAP, because it is VERY frustrating...

    Yes, perhaps you would want to do the update mentioned above before doing anything drastic. But, note that at least one is saying that some update from "last night" is causing him/her airport problems. I'll get the post reference and be right back. Here tis: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2114759&tstart=0. I am not positive if the one referenced above and the "last night" update are the same. But, note that the one above apparently deals only with problems occurring while on battery power.

  • Very slow wireless internet for netcfg 2.5.4

    Dear all,
    Ever since I upgraded my entire system, including netcfg, wifi on my Thinkpad X61 (iwlagn driver) and my local home network had been dead slow. Thing is, on another network I'm not experiencing this problem at all with the latest netcfg version. Neither does it occur for netcfg version 2.5.4 and my local network. The configurations for both tried networks are identical and they are both WPA2 protected. I've looked at this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119078, which seems to be describing my problem well, but I find the solutions quite vague and the OP eventually resorted to buying a new wireless card (which is virtually impossible for a notebook). Another note is that I'm using the latest version of netcfg without any issues on my wired desktop PC and local home network. So this makes me believe that the problem is isolated to some weird and as of yet unidentified correlation between my wireless interface, the latest netcfg version and my local home network.
    For now, I downgraded netcfg to 2.5.4 on my Thinkpad, since this version works without issues everywhere, but I would obviously want to have the latest version eventually. Does anybody have even the slightest clue about what could be causing this issue? Thanks in advance...

    Netcfg pretty much just configures wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd. The best way to go at solving this is to manually start wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd first the way netcfg 2.5.4 does, than again the way the latest netcfg does. Look at the differences, figure out which one is causing the problem.

  • Very slow wireless internet

    I have had a macbook for about a month now and it has always gone pretty slow, it is hooked up wirelessly to a 2wire router. I then hooked it up to another router on vacation which i think was a d-link, and it went tons faster. I also recently added another pc to my wireless network and that also goes pretty slow so i think it is a problem with the router. If anyone could help walk me through some steps tp possibly fixing this problem that wold be great.
    Thanks

    What wireless speed is your 2wire? Those values are almost identical to what my Dell notebook (with 802.11g) gets with my 802.11b Netgear router.
    Of course, that is on a good day. Hardwired, the Dell got a full 6 MB/sec. Since then, I've never gotten up to 1500 kbps on any machine. When it comes to broadband, your mileage may vary. If you have a cable modem, your speed is primarily dependent on wind speed, humidity, and pollen-count. If you have DSL, your speed is slower, but much more reliable.

  • Please help very slow internet

    HI guys,
    i have very slow wireless internet... Yesterday i have update to 8 MB. I have one PC where router is connected to. I did speedtest.net and it shows 6.4 mb which is really cool.I have MBP in my room about 15 meters away and 2 doors in way(don't know if that matters) I am connected by wireless. I have download AirGrab wifi radar and it shows only 32% signal and when i do speedtest it shows only 226kbps Then i sit next to router so the radar shows 100% signal and the speed was 1.4 MB a little bit better but still not enough. What should i do or buy to get as fast connection as possible. I feel horrible the PC is 8 years old with 6mb speed and my mac pro.. well u know. Thanks a lot Tomas

    I have had problems with this for the entire time (18 months) I've had my Mac Book Pro. My desktop is noticeably faster with wireless than my MBP. Transferring music through iTunes is also slow. It will break up. Sometimes restarting my mbp will help with the speed. I'd love to find a solution.

    Several ways.  Open a Finder window & the info will be at the very bottom of the window frame.  Also, if you open Disk Utility, click your hard drive, the info will be listed in DU.  If your HD is shown on your desktop, click on it.  Also, the info can be found inside the System Profiler.

  • IPad 2 very slow downloading.  Defrag it?  Reboot? If so how?, iPad 2 very slow downloading.  Defrag it?  Reboot? If so how?

    iPad 2 suddenly very slow on Internet. What could cause this &amp; what can I do.

    Try basic troubleshooting and see if it helps.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Do this as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

  • Extremely slow FiOS in MA

    I have been experiencing extremely slow FiOS internet speeds for the last few days.
    First I thought I was local, on my end, but after testing my wife's computer as well we are both getting results like this
     ...when we are normally at about 25 up/18 dn.
    Router has been reset. Don't know if this is related to other issues I'm seeing on here with others. Any help?

    I don't know what happened but I am now getting 25 down/18 up again, from wireless.
    I have not done anything further to any equipment or computer.
    Wonder what changed?
    Probably changed the channel used by the wireless connection.  Maybe getting interference from wireless phone on other channel.
    Odd that the verzon speedtest link doesn't work for you.  Appears to work OK for me and presumably others.

  • Why is firefox slower than internet explorer , it use to be faster but not any more it like a snail

    why is firefox very slow and internet explorer now leaves it standing ?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == weeks ago

    Some of your extensions might be the cause of the problem. Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode then going to Tools--Addons--Extensions to see if one of your extensions is causing a problem.
