Very strange internet connection speed issue,

Good Evening all.
I have a strange issue.   I got hooked up with a new ISP a few weeks ago and since that time I have had very slow PC connection speeds.   I have done speed tests,  and I get between 16 and 17mbps down,  but the PC runs and acts like I am getting 4 to 5mbps.  I have a Compaq Presario running Windows Vista Home Premium.  Service Pack 2.  There is 3 gig of ram and a 3ghz processor, with a 32 bit OS.
Here is how the setup looks.   The netgear modem is plugged into a regular phone jack and then goes through a router and then it is hardwired to the PC.  If I wire the PC direcly to the modem instead of going through the router,  I get the same mbps no matter what.  Between 16 and 17.
The wierd thing is that I can watch a movie on Netflix through my Wii with no issues.    This is strange to me because I would figure there to be more issues with wireless connections rather than wired connections.
I have a netgear modem and a netgear router.
I am almost wondering if my PC is not processing the incoming speed correctly.   I don't know if this is correct,  because I used to have Xfinity internet before this new internet and had absolutely no problems.  BTW my new ISP is called Edge Networks.  The boast speeds up to 30mbps.  I know that 16 to 17 is pretty good,  I just do not know why It seems like I am not getting anywhere near that.
While on the subject,  I also have another PC that I have gotten a USB adapter and am using wireless to access the internet.   This PC gets 5 to 6mbps down.   It is a Compaq running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.  It has 3 gig ram and a 64 bit OS  with a 2.3ghz processor.
I do not have a clue why I have such slow inernet page loading speeds,  other than the possibility that my PC's are just severly outdated.
Can anyone help explain this issue?

Evadfa, welcome to the forum.
I suggest contacting your ISP for help with the problem.  They should be able to help you since they know their product better than anyone.  I don't believe that it is a computer problem, since it is happening on two separate computers.

  • A strange Internet connectivity error whern using IE 9

    Hello,
    I experience very strange Internet connectivity issue which happens specifically with Capital One Banking site. I wonder if somebody else already reported the same problem.
    I'm on Windows 7 machine with Verizon DSL connection and uses both Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4.0.
    The same thing happenes every time I try to use IE to make a payment. A first payment screen opens normally, but after she enters payment information and hit Continue it starts to spin  and after a couple of minutes of fruitful attempts it BREAKS Internet connection!
    Windows allows to fix Internet connections settings, normally blaming bad default gateway settings. Then it is enough to open your site in IE and try to pay to break it again.
    Firefox, on the other end, works normally and allows to pay. So, it looks like an error in IE, but really strange one.
    I also have another Win 7 machine and IE 9; the only difference is that it is on Comcast Cable rather than on Verizon DSL. There I can pay to Capital One using IE 9 without any problems. So, it must be a combination of IE bug and Verizon Internet settings, I guess.

    Are the machines by any chance using different Security Software or have you by any chance installed Verizon software onto the PC hooked into the DSL service?

  • 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.

  • My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

    I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues.  Phone and TV continue to work.
    Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router.  When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned.  I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me.  I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it".  Whatever...
    Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy.  I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator.  Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address.  But I can't get out past the router at all.  On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router.  We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
    I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point.  After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself.  Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
    So what is the issue here?  Is MOCA a mess?  Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better?  I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
    I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen.  When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding.  Nice...  And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
    Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

    I would try using a non-verizon router.  I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem.  The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

  • Very Strange Internet Problems

    I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
    As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
    This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
    I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

    I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

  • Im having a very slow internet connection on my macbook pro??help pls

    hi
    i bought a macbook pro back in summer 2012 and it came with mountain lion but since then Im having a very slow Internet connection. I have one router at my home. my other PC works fine with the Internet even my iphone 4s is way faster with same wifi connection. when I download a TV show on macbook from itunes its takes about 40-50 min to download fully but on my phone or PC it usually takes about 18 mins. and also when I try to watch a hd clip on youtube, I need to put on lowest quality in order to watch it without lagging or stopping midway.
    does anyone else have this issue or I have to talk crap about apple product from now on???

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?

  • Slow Internet Connection Speeds caused by Ethernet Controller Driver

    Problem:  Internet connection speeds are 1/10 of available connection speed.
    1. Problem statement is based on running speed tests at cnet, speedtest.net, and AT&T.
    2. I am paying for 12 MBps down load speed but I only get about 1.5 MBps.
    3. Other computers in household get 11+ MBps connected to the same ethernet cable and also different ethernet cables.
    4. I traced the problem to the network controller driver.
    5. I updated to the latest driver with no change in performance.
    6. After some experimenting I found that if I re-install the driver after the computer is booted up, the internet connection down load speeds increase to 11+ MBpS (typically around 11.4 with maximum capability of 12)
    I have assumed that the driver does not load properly the first time, but why?  Or is there some other cause or setting that I have overlooked?

  • Very Strange Internet Access Behavior After upgrade to systemd

    Currently I'm having very strange issues with my wireless connection. Currently, if I connect using netcfg to a wireless access point, I have the following behavior:
      1. chromium can connect to any website
      2. thunderbird can send/receive emails
      3. curl, firefox and opera can connect to some https sites but not http (yes: https://www.facebook.com, https://bbs.archlinux.org, no: https://archlinux.org, https://github.com)
      4. wget does not connect, neither does pacman -Syu
    after I upgraded to systemd, I was getting errors because of groups, so I removed extra groups. Here's what I have now:
    There is currently no rc.conf in /etc
    $ id ambantis
    uid=1000(ambantis) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
    $ id root
    uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),19(log),1000(wheel)
    If I try to remove the wheel group, then netcfg does not allow me to connect, neither can I connect manually with wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd
    Here's the output of $ systemctrl

  • Very slow internet connection in the late evening.

    Broadband works fine all evening until approx. 10pm. This has been happening for the last week the broadband has run very very slowly. I tried to run a test last night but connection was so bad it timed out. by 11 pm the connection drops completely. 
    This has been going on since we had to have a new junction box as we had phone and internet issues since 2012 and finally it was agreed that a more permanant fix should be put in place. First few times we just put it down to the new line as while digging the trench somebody put a spade through our exististing line and left with no phone or broadband for 24 hours.
    Is there something happening at the exchange to make this happen every night as in the morning and early evenings it is fine. I cant test the line or the speed as the pages just wont load

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    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

  • Very very slow internet connection (modem: westell 327w)

    hey guys, it's been 2 weeks already and my internet speed is very very slow. i checked my speed at speedtest.net and the speed is like 76kbps. i called customer service many times already but they couldnt fix the the problem, they said they're going to send a technition in about2-3 days but as you see it's been 2 weeks. of course i restarted my modem already but the speed slows down like right after a minute. i live in new york and there's no major rain on the day my internet connection slows down. i'm really tired of calling the customer service...so please help guys. thank you

    If you are not useing wireless, and have no intention of useing it, I would log into the modem and turn it off. Someone else could be connecting to you router and useing your bandwidth. But not likely that is you problem.
    If you are useing wireless then you should log into your modem/router and be sure you have security enabled so nobody can get into you connection.
    If Verizon promised someone would come out and fix the issue, they should have given you a service order number for the repair. I would contact them and have them review you account and ask what gives? It is possible that there is a line problem and they should be able to determine that from the central office. Call tech support and insist that the problem be solved. If it requires a technician visit, ask for the order number and date when the repair will be made. Get the repair order number and insist that it be completed.

  • Very Slow Internet connection using a 2TB TC

    Hello,
    Having issues connecting to the internet using a 2tb TC (802.11n).
    I have 3 airport express and normally one computer macbook pro (10.8.2) or two join the network. This set up has worked fine for while, but lately the internet goes so slow, I am better off using my phone.
    The ISP sent a technician to check speed, it is good up to the modem. The only way to have an ok connection is to reboot the TC and it lasts about 30 minutes to an hour.
    Any ideas on how to solve this?
    Thank you very much
    FJDG

    Ok, you can already see the TC is registering a problem.. double NAT which you have chosen to ignore..
    But you should not ignore it.. you need to fix it.
    So reset it to factory and setup again in bridge mode.. you will however still continue to create a wireless network.. it can be the same name and password as it is now.. that will keep the express working as they are.
    Then I would also advise you to test the speed by ethernet direct to the TC LAN ports.. if it is slow.. then the TC has an issue.. one of which can be poor WAN connection speed to the UBee router.. I recommend you then try a few things.
    Just plug the LAN ubee to the LAN TC.. in bridge this is perfectly acceptable.
    Or if that fails downgrade the firmware of the TC to 7.6.1 as there is a bug with 7.6.4 that causes slow wan speeds.
    Downgrade by holding down the option key when you select the version.
    Tell me what speed you achieve by ethernet to the LAN port of the TC after these changes..

  • AirPort Express (2nd) Internet Connection Speed

    Dear All
    First of all, I looked everywhere on the internet about this issue I’m having and couldn’t find any solution. To explain my issue let me tell you how and why I use AirPort Express shortly;
    My Purpose
    I have a wireless network and all my PCs are connected in one network. I have a Windows server and using it for general purposes and also as a file server. But if someone joins my network, they all are able to see my shared folders. They are able to read/write files (even delete them).
    So I decided to create 2 networks with AirPort Express (2nd Generation). I have a wireless network for internal use only (for me and my PCs) and one Guest network.
    Everything seems okay and there is nothing wrong.
    How I Installed AirPort Express (APE)
    I connected APE to my router (standard US Robotics DSL router) and my switch to APE. I used AirPort Utility on a Windows 8 PC and configured APE settings.
    Base Station status seems normal (have a green light as well) and works okay. I can use my internal network, my PCs are communication with each other (they are all on the same switch). Guest network also works okay and seems like there is nothing wrong.
    My router uses 192.168.2.xx IP range and APE is using its own 10.0.1.xx IP range. This makes APE to add an issue to Issues list as Double NAT.
    What is Wrong?
    I have internet connection and I can browse web pages and do that kind of things. But my internet connection is really slow and some times cannot display web pages. I have to refresh some pages a few times to display it. My ping increased 5-6 times over than normal.
    I thought the problem is the PC that I’m using but then realized that every PC has the same issue. I made a speed test and it showed 352ms ping to the nearest server to me which is really a high value.
    My connection is unstable. It’s not dropping but speed suffers. Here is a test result. In this test my ping was 31 ms but as you see speeds are suffering. My connection is supposed to be 8mbps (Down) and 1mbps (Up).
    What should I do to fix it? What is the point I’m missing? Could you please help me? Please let me know if you require further information.
    Thank you very much.
    Best Regards

    Dear All;
    I just disabled DHCP Server from my router and now it seems to be better. But I don't know if it's something that I shouldn't do or not. Have any ideas?
    This is the new result after disabling DHCP from my US Robotics router. There are still some minor issues (latency, slow downs etc.) but now seems to be better than before.
    PS: I still have that "Double NAT" notification under Issues section.

  • Time Capsule + Airport Extreme very slow internet connection

    first time post here, looking for some help.
    I have a small wireless network at home which runs as follows.
    Modem - time capsule (acting as wireless router to macbook pro) - ethernet connection to iMac
    I would like to extend the range of the wireless network as we dont get signal upstairs. To do this I have added an airport extreme to extend the signal (as someone gave me one for christmas!).
    The network works fine, signal is great all over the house however internet traffic is very very slow when devices are connected to just the extreme station (ie when out of range from the time capsule).
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my internet connection upstairs is very very slow?

    Thanks for the reply. It seems to have helped a little - should I expect slower speeds from the extended network?
