Very slow internet over past few days

Hello
My internet has been fast and stable for a number of years, until Wednesday morning that is. I usually get about 13Mbps downstream and 900kbps upstream, but now it hovers around the 200k-350k mark downstream and 400-550k upstream.
I'm connected to the main socket, which in old style socket with the slot in the middle of the faceplate. I've tried multiple routers, including a new one, and wired/wireless: the results are the same. I've also tried a new filter. There's nothing else connected (and I have no Sky box).
The results of my tests are as follows:

My exchange does not report any errors at all. I conducted an external inspection of my nearest cabinet and all seems OK. I did a quiet line test and can hear no noise on the line.
I hope I've covered everything! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • My macbook pro started running very slow in the past few days

    Don't know if freezes or run very slow, it always happen when i open the mac (i always leave it on sleep mode) it doesn't respond to anything and the cursor turns into the rainbow loading icon.
    It takes like ten to twenty minutes to respond if i've clicked on safari or any aplication to open.
    The solution i found to that was keep pressing the power button til the mac turn off  , restarting seemed to solve the problem but now it took like 30 minutes to restart, when always was like 5 minutes.
    What can i do?

    If you get your machine running, you should immediatly copy off any personal data to a Storage Drive (no TimeMachine!) because your boot drive is failing.
    See emergency quick copy here
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If you have a copy of your data off the machine, if your able too you can replace the drive yourself or if under AppleCare or warranty take it in for service.
    Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
    Since you've upgraded to 10.7 on that machine, you have to make a Recovery USB or borrow a friends machine andcopy theirs, perhaps Apple will let you get a copy.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/08/lion-recovery-disk-assistant-tool-makes-external- lion-boot-recovery-drives/
    It's because Recovery HD is used to reinstall 10.7+ on a new boot drive. Newer machines have Internet Recovery.

  • Very slow broadband for past few weeks?

    Hi for past few weeks my broadband speeds and ping been all other the place rasied a fault with bt, and the woman on the phone said interleaving with on, thats why my ping times up and down and it would take upto 48hrs to turn off.
    I got the bt home hub 2 and also got a spare dlink router but the problem is well worse with the homehub ping times 30 to 50 ms higher with the homehub and speeds around 380kbs that not even 0.5mb.
    Anyways to cut a long story short i dont see any where on the hub that tells me about if the interleaving is on or not, i have been with bt since last aug and i never asked for interleaving to be on.
    On my dlink that says its on fast so i no interleaving aint on, 2 weeks later and its even worse now its slow all the time no matter what time of day or night and i phoned bt the other day to say to them, and was told they would phone back today but no call, my profile is 7150 my connection never drops unless i reboot the router or disconnects its self heres a tracert i just done :

    And that speed its showing there i have been getting for past 2 weeks straight maybe up and down a little but not much It was great for months then this any time i done a speed test then allways a strong 6.9mb no matter what time off day am my exchange is showing green.

    Hi
    Have you checked the link out here this will take you through a step by step guide to ensure the problem is not in your premises, as the fault could be in your own wiring or a faulty ADSL filter.
    Although looking at your speed test results it looks like you have a good speed, what time of the day did you do the ping test? It maybe worth tring it to a number of sites and you can then maybe get an avarege, also avoid the internet peak period.

  • Slow broadband over the past few days.

    My broadband speed has gone slow pver the past few days, from a guaranteed 2mbps to 0.92kbps
    http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3615801582
    I'm a BT Vision customer, so if I don't have the 2mbps guaranteed, my Bt Vision is pointless. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    there is no speed guaranteed - all packages are sold as up to speeds.  no ISP guarantees any speed
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    I cannot log on to my Comcast e-mail from my IMac anymore.  This is a new issue, recently I had to delete cookies from my system in order so my email wasn’t frozen, but over the past few days it has went from bad to worse.  I am able to enter my login information, but it just goes right back to the home page.  Any suggestions…maybe I deleted something else in the process.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • Slow Broadband the last few days - Vision related?

    My broadband has been very slow the past few days and often comes up with the homehub screen saying there's been a problem and to "Try again".
    It coincides (although I'm not sure if it was maybe happening the day before as well) with me digging out my BT vision box and setting it up.
    I've since unplugged the ethernet cable from the vision box but it's made no difference, still very slow.
    The broadband used to be connected at about 7.2mbps, now it's a 10th of that!
    Anyone got any ideas? I've done the quiet line test which sounds fine. Haven't changed any of the connections from what it's always been
    Downstream
    736 Kbps
    Upstream
    160  Kbps

    is this it?

  • Extremely slow Internet over Airport, good speed with Ethernet

    I've been using an airport extreme router (802.11n) for a while and recently I've noticed an incredible slow Internet over wifi. When I do a speed test it shows numbers like 200 kbps and I have a 10 mbps cable Internet connection. When I connect the ethernet from the modem it's perfect speed. Obviously Airport is slowing down my Internet connection. I tried resetting the Airport by pressing the reset button at the back, and it worked perfectly for a while. But after a few days it got back to slow Internet. Anybody have any idea?

    I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I came across some changes (purely by experimentation) that may help. I hope so, at least...
    I opened the Airport Utility and I swapped channels. The default is channel 6, but every other WiFi router defaults to this channel, too. I changed my Airport Extreme to use channel 3 (as well as my Airport Express), and now things are back to what I would have expected for an 802.11g connection.
    I will offer the suggestion that those of you with the same Internet slow-down observed on their iMac G5's try swapping channels. If you have an expanded WiFi home network vis-a-vis an Airport Express, be sure to update it first before you update your Airport Extreme.
    Best wishes and good luck!

  • Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

    Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

    Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
    So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

  • Re: "Very Slow Internet On OSX 10.5.5"

    Hello all,
    I am creating my own thread in response to ones like rogerjth's July 2008, the subject of which was "Slow Browsing with safari 3.1.2 - Any issues to watch out for?" and Roippeli's from Sep. 21, 2008, the subject of which was "Very Slow Internet On OSX 10.5.5 / Works Fine on XP. Since many people on the forum have been having the same problems and, like myself, have been unable to resolve them by the same methods that seem to have fixed the problem for the majority of people (hence the issue topic being marked "answered" because the topic was indeed answered, but only for the OP), I decided to start this thread again.
    I have been having the same problems as Roippeli and rogerjth for over a week now, and despite having searched the forums exhaustively, I am unable to fix them. I have tried every suggestion, including all of those made by Klaus 1 (emptying cache, resetting Safari, deleting specified files from Home/Library/Preferences and "/"/Safari, adding DNS numbers, scanning for trojan viruses - of which there were none - creating an OpenDNS account and configuring both my router and my PB to utilize OpenDNS), which seem to have solved the problems for many. However, after a short period of subtle yet marked increases in speed, I am back to the same place that I was before taking these steps. Intermittent connection, slow speeds, the works. I'm now ready to smash the router. Help!

    same problem here on a macpro. but only since today, i updated to 10.5.5 a week ago or so when it came out and had no problems until today. the moment i started my macpro internet connection was very slow (with safari, firefox & mail), but the airport network itself seems to be fine though (tried by copying files from a network disk).
    everything else connected to the same network works fine (iphone, other macs without 10.5.5)
    i posted in a german forum too and there are some others having the same problem.
    the question is : why today ??? i didn't change anything serious lately.
    i'm currently trying to download the combo update again and safari standalone but i get one timeout after the other.
    also tried to repair rights, p-ram reset, safari reset - nothing helped.

  • TS1717 I can't open iTunes. I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when I was using the iTunes store the past few days. What can I do to open iTunes?

    ? I can't open iTunes at all. When I hit the icon, it lights up but doesn't engage to open the program. The past few days I'd been experiencing frequent freezes when using the iTunes Store. Any ideas for how to open iTunes?

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • FCP X is loading and loading with the colour wheel revolving for ever for the past few days.

    FCP X is loading and loading with the colour wheel revolving for ever, for the past few days.
    FCP X was working fine in my new 15" Mac book pro (Retina display with Mountain Lion 10.8.2) for the past one month. Now a days, each time I try to open the FCP X, the same non-stop colour wheel is rotating, trying to restore one of my project. It continues even for hours together.  Finally I am force quiting the application.
    How do I come out of it ? Will I be able to recover my project.  I didn't do any backup in particular.
    Is backing up on the regular basis is required?
    I tried the following guidance by Apple, 
    In the Finder, hold down the Option key and choose Library from the Go menu.
    In the Library folder that opens, go to Application Support/Final Cut Pro.
    Drag the Layouts folder from the Final Cut Pro folder to the Trash.
    Still my problem is continued
    Help me

    This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
    Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.5 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.5.
    First, check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
    For smooth playback without dropping frames, make sure 'Better Performance' is selected in the FCP X Preferences - Playback Tab.
    If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
    Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install of the OS would be recommended.
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
    If your playback in FCP X is not good, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
    The downside of 'Proxy' is that it looks awful. DON'T use Proxy when you're assessing things like video quality - especially focus.
    If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    Personally, I work with XDCAM EX and h.264 from a Canon DSLR. Both of these run fine with my system, but I do transcode multicam clips.
    Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
    Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
    The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.
    If none of this helps, you might have incompatible or corrupt media or project files. Move ALL your Events and Projects to temporary folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch. If it launches OK, re-introduce the Events and Projects one at a time, re-launching each time, so that you can track down the corrupt or incompatible files.
    Andy
