Why is it slow on VPN on my iPhone5?

I got a VPN service which is normally used on my iPad and PC. It provides 10M download speed. Tested on Speedtest.net with VPN it shows around 8Mbps on my iPad and around 11Mbps on my PC but only 0.5Mbps on my iPhone5. Without VPN, all 3 devices are at around 12MBps, which is the speed provided by ISP. Why? Is it a bug on ios6.0.2. HELP ME PLZ! orz  (*all my devices are in the same wifi network)

This happens, exactly as described, to me too. VPN over 3/4G/LTE is fine.
VPN over WiFi gets around 0.3Mbps
WiFi alone is 6Mbps
VPN over 4G is 8Mbps
In addition, if I connect to a WiFi that has a built in VPN client (i.e. with the VPN client handled in the router) the iPhone 5 goes down to 0.3Mbps again. Other connections (Win 7, Mac OSX 10.8, iPhone 4) all get 5Mbps.
Didn't earlier versions of iPhone have separate processor, etc. for comms and the new iPhone just has the single chip? I wonder if the VPN overhead isn't being handled as efficiently now as before? Maybe just a simple prority fix?
Same results for PPTP, L2TP, IPSec, OpenVPN. Looks like something wrong in the iPhone 5 (or iOS 6 and 6.1). If so, come on Apple own up so we can stop running in circles and just sit and wait for the fix (or the iPhone 6).
If anyone has iPhone 5 and gets good speeds over WiFi and VPN, please post (and include the type of  VPN you use etc.) Then I can maybe go in a swap mine (again) so that I get one that works.

    AVG reports these sqlite cookies each time firefox starts. they usually belong to tribalfusion or some other tracker. How do I block them in the first place. I thought firefox is a safe browser. Did not have this problem until I upgraded to 3.6.

  • Why is java slower than C and C++

    Hi Guys:
    I would like to know why Java is slower than C and C++ in terms of compilation speed...
    Does it have to do with the fact that Java compiles to byte code first and then the JVM translates byte code to machine code which your processor can understand. whereas C and C++ compiles directly to machine code...
    Any ideas on that,...let me know..

    It's not necessarily. I would suggest that it always is; whencomparing
    specific tasks.I would suggest that is never is (significantly)
    when non-trivial and non-specialized applicationsare
    involved. Requirements and design always have a
    much greater impact.There's no doubt that the design is the most
    important
    aspect when writing a program, but assuming those
    things
    are equal, the fact is that a c program will be
    faster.Yes, but given the fact that there is almost zero chance that the requirements, design and implementation will be optimal, it means that the real differences between the languages are insignificant compared to the real difference caused by the other factors.
    In the theorectical world C/C++ is faster. In the real world, most of the time, it is not significant.

  • Why does Telstra slow uploads speed down

    I have had ongoing issues with my internet connection over the last 18 mouths.Having a upload speed of 450/650 Kbps  very slow no good for gaming an down load of 8/11Mbps down load if more than I needTo the point I have spent good dollars try to insuring   that the infrastructures and the Asset Integrity with in house are in best condition this includes the replacement and work listed belowReplacement of the Wi-Fi system to a Cat.6 cabling at a cost of $2,300Replacement of the modem with a high speed 1G port modem at cost of $ 475Replacement of the fly-lead for the Telstra house connection to the new wall socket a cost of $360Total cost of $3135 this spend was braced on Telstra recommendation as the problem was with my part of the connection after a large number of call to my internet provider I at last had a appointment with a Telstra Tec to carry line testing and fault finding .At this point if no fault was found  I was the be billed at $60 per 15min or part off and travel cost as I live in Bullsbrook WA this may I high . Lucky for me a fault was found in the exchange and reconfigured and the speed and the Exchange improved   to 22Mbps down and 15 Mbps up an outstanding numbers >test at the house 15Mbps and so 5 / 7 Mbps loss for the Exchange to house don’t to good but still very happy with it BUT the upload was 650 kbps /750Kbps and please remember this testing was carry out by Telstra with good equipment so at this point I ask why the upload was so slow? After spending over $2000 and lot of time on the phone only to be told that Telstra slow the upload speed down so the max you can get is 1 Mbps and the only way you can increase this is by paying for a business line but you still may not get any more than 1MbpsThis is only a very small part of the story SO I LIKE TO ASK WHY IS TELSTRA SLOWING ME DOWNIf you like to know more please let me know

    Hi bigdave618, 
    The simple answer is, that's the way the system and hardware is designed, all ISP's are the same. Uploads are limited to around 1Mbps. If you wish to get higher upload speeds you can see if Cable Broadband or NBN are available in your area as these systems allow for higher upload speeds.
    Upload speeds are generally slower than download speeds because of the fact that most internet connected equipment is asymmetric. Asymmetric means that any one packet of data can either go in, or out, but not both ways at the same time. Since most internet users are receiving more data than sending, the internet connected equipment has shifted the higher majority of the signals to go toward downloading.
    If you wish to find out more about ADSL I have added a link to a Wikipedia article below along with the link to the NBN and Telstra websites so you can check to see if Cable Broadband or NBN is available in your area.
    ADSL Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_digital_subscriber_line
    Check for available Telstra Cable Broadband: https://www.telstra.com.au/broadband/home-broadband

    As I am not sure the cause, I have been reading and trying different things, last thing was to set the interfaces to Duplex Full

    Also turned on CEF on both routers

  • Why is SCP slow realtive to using winSCP on windows?

    Why is SCP slow realtive to using winSCP on windows(3MB/s on mac and 11 MB/s on windows)?

    You are not having my exact same problem, but try this:
    1. Browse to "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming" in Windows Explorer.
    2. Rename the "Apple Computer" folder to "Apple Computer-old".
    3. Start iTunes
    4. Close iTunes
    5. Copy the file "iTunesPrefs.xml" from "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
    6. Paste the old "iTunesPrefs.xml" into the new "Apple Computer\iTunes" folder iTunes just created (not the one you renamed) under "C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer-old\iTunes"
    7. Overwrite the new iTunesPrefs.xml with your old copy of the file.
    If you don't care about losing your iTunes preferences then you can just do step 2. You can always go back and grab things from the old folder later if you realize you wanted to have your EQ settings, individual track gains, etc...

  • Why is CS6 slow, 64bit-mode or not?

    Got the CS6 trial for OSX. Its not nearly as responsive as promised.
    It can't handle average files with let say 30states in it.
    Escpecially if you create symbols with a lot of elements(30+) which are nested and you want to edit those symbols, there is huge perfomance drop:
    You can't use your keyboard for moving elements within those symbols. The programs give you no feedback what it is doing.
    Then I checked the activity monitor: Apparently fireworks is not running in 64bit mode.
    Is this just the trial version or is the Adobe-Add misleading that it should be running in 64bit?
    My comp-specs:
    lates iMac
    20GB Ram
    SSD 

    And why it has not been improved? Its so obvious slow!

    Performance improvement in CS6 is made interms of refreshing the Property inspector on Mac platform.
    On Windows platform file open /edit and save limit has been increased for 64 bit machines.
    Adobe Fireworks CS6 is a 32-bit application only.Also performance interms of rendering on canvas or preview is not changed in CS6.

  • Why imovie too slow download on youtube ?

    why imovie too slow send download to youtube

    Bumping this topic again as it's still sort of bugging me, but the problem has been isolated to a few certain sites. On some i get the maximum speed and on others i get snailspeed. One of the slow ones unfortunately is basically anything that has to do with Apple....So all Quicktime movie trailers, iTunes stuff, movies etc are slow, except podcasts that are German. I'm downloading the 30 day trial of iWork and i'm getting whopping 19,2KB/s, when i should be getting about 1300KB/s. You can just imagine the frustration:/
    I'm just wondering am i alone on this or is anybody else excperienceing similar? And as usual, on windows i'm getting full speed all the time, anywhere, grrrr....!

  • Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

    Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

    Try the following steps.
    Power off the printer.
    Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
    Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
    Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
    Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
    If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.

  • Why is Firefox slow on Wireless but fast on Wired?

    I have an HP Laptop 6730b which was given to me from my company. When I am at work, and connected to our LAN by an Ethernet Cable, Firefox runs perfectly fine and starts up super fast.
    Then when I come home and turn on the Wireless on the laptop, Firefox takes like 20 seconds to startup and 20 seconds on every click. Whether clicking on a link of the same website or clicking on a favorite in my favorite tab, it takes 20 seconds to "Think" first then it loads quickly. This "thinking" part is what's killing me and it ONLY HAPPENS ON WIRELESS!!!

    Actually, here is exactly my problem: I bring my work laptop home with me. I connect to my wireless at home and my internet works just fine. Through Internet Explorer 6.0 that is.
    But with Firefox, its super slow. Takes 20 seconds to open, and 20 seconds on any link or favorite I click on.
    And here is the confusing part: the problem goes away when I log into my company's network through the VPN client. Once logged in there, Firefox is back to normal and fast again.
    Only when I'm not on VPN at home, does Firefox give me this problem. I have Firefox on my personal computer at home and it goes fast, so why does it give me a problem here on my work computer. Heck even IE 6.0 works normal on my wireless. It's just mind boggling. I would normally install Safari but my company won't allow it at this time.

  • Data Services Designer - Very Slow on VPN

    Hello,
    Any idea why Data Services Designer is very slow and many a times goes into Not Responding state. I'm using this client tool to connect to the Data Services Repository + Servers via VPN.
    It takes few minutes to load the jobs or to save the changes. Some times hangs.
    Wanted to know if anyone is facing similar issues, and any workaround/setup changes to eliminate these delays...
    Regards,
    Madan
    Edited by: Madan Mohan Reddy Zollu on Mar 12, 2010 9:24 AM

    Data Services Designer is communicating with the repo (to store/retrieve objects) and the jobserver (to execute jobs and get status/log files) so if there is a slow network connection, response time in the Designer could become problematic.
    One way to solve this is use CITRIX or terminal services to have your Designer close to the database and only screens are send over the slow connection. In the Windows installation guide there is a chapter that documents how to setupDesigner in a (multi-user) Citrix environment.

  • Infoview loading slow [DSL-VPN] because network up-link exhausted

    Hi everyone
    We run XI R2 SP4 at work on a dedicated Win2003 Server with a Gigabit network interface. From the Office LAN (100Mbps) the Infoview portal is loading adequately fast, no delays, no partial screens. When I work from home over a 3Mbit down/384Kbps up DSL Cisco software VPN connection the InfoView portal generally loads terribly slow. I did some investigations in my XP registry and had a look at bandwith usage. It only throws up more questions.
    I have the following settings in XP Pro's registry:
    TcpWindowSize: 64K
    GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize: not implemented
    Tcp1323Opts: 1
    I played around with those values, but it didn't change much to the following issue:
    Upon opening the Infoview portal in IE or requesting a folder's contents the network bandwith used is as follows:
    UPLINK: 40-50Kbps pretty much constantly
    DOWNLINK: 3-30Kbps with peaks of 70-100Kbps
    So my question is, if I want to speed up the portal loading, something's gotta change in the amount of UPLINK it requires to request a simple page. Yes, I made sure NOTHING else was running that requires bandwith, started with a clean 0
    Or in other words: why on earth is Infoview demanding MORE UPLINK (384kbps) than downlink (3000kbps)? This makes no sense to me.
    Am I overlooking the obvious here?
    Thanks all.
    Tom C.

    Hi,
    Make sure your network throughput between the client and the server is below (slower than) the Throughput threshold parameter.
    and then follow this article to check your syntax:
    Slow-Link with Windows 7 and DFS Namespaces
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/12/14/slow-link-with-windows-7-and-dfs-namespaces.aspx
    Meanwhile, make sure these files are already offline available and group policy applied.
    Hi Karen,
    Thanks for the reply!  That's the link I used when I first attempted to establish this sceanrio in the first place, and it certainly is useful!  I got the Event IDs I was scanning for in that article, as well as the understanding that it takes
    at least five minutes in one state before switching to the other (either offline to online or vice versa).  However, I'm certain I've rate-limited the network connection to 256 Kb/s, and I see in my registry that the slowlinkparam for my entry has a throughput
    value of 512000 (I've changed it from the previous value of 4096000, but either way, they both should exceed 256 Kb/s).
    How else can I make sure my throughput is slower than the established threshold?  Alternatively, how can I measure the threshold to see whether or not it's below the value we established for testing purposes?

    And over night it seems to have taken up 100GB of my HD.  The only thing I have done recently is to do a full backup using time machine.  My computer is now running very slow.  I want to know how I can see in a overview what is taking up all my space (a pie chart or file breakdown) .... I have looked individually at the obvious like iTunes and iPhoto but they seem reasonable at about average size.
