Why is my 4G LTE speed so slow?? 1.07Mbps download and 0.09Mbps upload - that is completely ridiculous. What is going on with your network in Minneapolis?

Speedtest confirmed - 1.07 Mbps download and 0.09 Mbps upload ***!!!!

Verizon,
This is a major problem nationwide.
Last week sitting at the Atlanta International Airport waiting on a flight, Ookla Speedtest was showing 0.04 Down / < 0.00 Up. This is my first time to check the network speeds since first purchasing a 4G device. I was trying to get a 10MB e-mail attachment to review during my flight. I couldn't get the attachment (the download kept timing out) so I ran the speed test to see what was going on.
Right now, sitting at LAX waiting on a flight to Tokyo, the Ookla result is 0.23 Down / 0.09 Up.
These are abysmal speeds. At the price you charge for 4G service and smartphone use, we (the customers) deserve better. It took me 10 minutes just to login and post this message.
Coupled with the major issues I'm experiencing roaming internationally, this is the first time in my 10+ years with Verizon I'm considering moving to a competitor.
I will keep testing as I move around the country, and I will give you a couple months to fix these issues before I make a change.

Why is my 4G LTE speeds so slow?

I am currently in philadelphia PA and have fluctuating signals. Sometimes my device will display 4G LTE, other times 3G and 1X. I know I have poor signal.I get only one bar. When I go into settings my signal is usally -112 to -120 Dbm. I know this is very poor. When I run a speed test I can barely get 2 Mbps down and 0.25 Mbps up. I can't play a youtube video. I can't do anything. I have to constantly stay on WiFi. Sometimes text messages, just standard no pictures or videos fail to send. Sometimes they can take up to 10 minutes to send or just fail all together. I have had many phones, first S3, then DNA, then S4. All of them are giving me problems. The sim and phone have been replaced many times. Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

Hi Sean3040,
I am sorry you're having issues with 4g service. Which device are you currently using? Have you tried doing a soft reset on your device when having these issues? If not, give that a try and test by sending a picture message.

IOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow.

iOS7 wifi and LTE speed very slow compared to iOS6. This was proven with Safari and using speed test app.

I have exactly the same problem symptom ever since installing iOS7. Toggling the FaceTime or the LTE settings alleviated the problem until I installed the latest version on IOS (7.0.4- 11B554a). Now the bug is permanent, a Network Reset will not work anymore, a System Reset will work only for the first execution of Speedtest.
Looks like the network software is throttling LTE speed to the minimum (.50 Mbps) up/download speed no matter what. Now unlimited Data means nothing, maybe AT&T wants me to go to Verizon or Tmobile.
I reported this problem to AT&T Sept 26 when I first installed IOS7, they told me there was no problem really that I needed to wait for the LTE network congestion to go away...? Since I found a circumvention by toggling LTE I did not pursued the problem...
After reporting the problem again this morning, they sent me to the AT&T store to change the SIM card.... I will try this and report back if it fixes the problem... Although I doubt it will fix anything but burn and extra hour of my day. The AT&T rep said that if the new SIM card doesn't fix the problem I need to go to Apple for them to give me a new Iphone....???? I guess there are many iPhones gone bad after installing IOS7 (sarcasm).
If you have this same problem, please post here so that I am able to get back to AT&T with some leverage to get them to remove the choking of LTE. Basically, if everyone accepts the new low speeds, then, unlimited data is no longer a problem for this phone company.

I have moved to the country where my internet speed is slow. I am running some auto updates that keep timing out half way through. Can the time out be shut off to complete the update?

I'm not sure about that. But what you could try is to set the Update Preference to "Manual" and try updating at a time when the Network may not be as busy, like late at night or early in the morning.
Just an idea.

HT5501 Somebody can tell me what is going on with the last update 10.8.2??I updated and since two days ago my computer is blocking with safari and is getting pretty much slower than before??

Can somebody tell me what is going on with the last update of Mountain Lion 10.8.2?? Since then my computer is pretty much slower and blocken on Safari.

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

I am not sure what is going on with my ipod but my ipod will not even let me open my wifi or open my apps. i don't know why can anyone help?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT201442 I've reset this thing like 3 times now what's going on with it? why won't it connect to my iTunes?

I've reset this thing like 3 times now what's going on with it? why won't it connect to my iTunes?

Beyond resetting what have you tried?
Common fixes can be to use a different USB port or different USB cable. You can also try updating iTunes, or uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
Does your computer see it at all? Is there a little chirp when you plug it in?

I have a dual 1.8 ghz pwer pc g5 and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here?

and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here? is it a virus or has my computer been hijacked? it cant be good for the computer...anyone ever had this problem..?

Your problem has been reported many times, but causes are as varied as individuals.
Can we assume that a hard shutdown allows a normal restart?
Can I assume that you have used Disk Utility from your OS X install disc to repair the hard drive directory? The freezes and hard shutdowns require that the drive be repaired (not permissions) or soon the machine won't boot at all.
If the root issue is software related, in Console (the application) under Logs, there should be loggings around the time of sleep and logs that tell you what process went wild and froze the machine.
Network activity is also a common casue.

If hardware related, such as an external drive, other USB device (Wacom tablet) or USB PCI card, ejecting, disconnecting, removing, or in the case of the Wacom, updating drivers, are all potential remedies.

AirDrop works fine, but the name that comes up on both my mini ipad and iPhone 5 is Selena Gomez. Why? Idk... I checked my phone name in settings and it comes up as MY name. What's going on?

Well, then the only answer is that you are Selena Gomez

Why is my LTE speed so slow on my iPhone 6. I've tried multiple locations in Los Angeles and get ~7 meg. download. A friends iPhone 6 on AT

LTE download and upload speeds are slow on my iPhone 6. I also tried this on a co-workers iPhone 6 and got the same results, approximately 7 meg download. A friend with an iPhone 6 on AT&T is getting ~35 meg download. Is there something wrong with the network. I've tried this in 5 different areas in Los Angeles.

Are you on band 13 or band 4? 13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow.
To check band,
dial *3001#12345#*
select serving cell info
frequency band will say 13 or 4
FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

HT201471 Why can't I just type in my apple serial number and identify which ipad that I have?

Why can't I just type in an ipad serial number and find out what model it is? This used to be a function of the Apple Tech Specs. Why has it been removed? If it is in a different place, where is it?

Have you tried here? This will tell you which model of iPad you have when you enter the serial number.

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to insert current date and time in message that you are writing?

As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
"For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

Why is the cd read speed so slow?

Brand new iMac 27" 2.7GHz 16GB Ram running 10.7.3. CD read speeds are very slow...something like 5x. Importing audio CDs to iTunes is extremely slow. Error checking is turned OFF. Any ideas?

Slimline SuperDrives are always much slower than tray loading drives.

Why is my 4g Internet running so slow? My download speed is 22.0 mb/s and upload speed is 18.0 mb/s. I ran a test to find that out. Idk if that's slower than what it's supposed to read out at but it's taking forever to watch videos online. Help?

My Internet on my iPhone 4S w/ 4g started running slow a month or 2 ago and has t changed since. It takes several minutes just to buffer short online vids and way longer if its over 2-3 minutes. Pages are loading slow. Downloading aps is a nightmare too. Any thing I can do to improve speed on it? I've only had the phone for 6 months or so.

One thing I've noticed is that a shared tab pops up when I open the finder under "favorites" with a random connection. It's called hp68b... None of my friends that I live with have this and we all use the same internet. Two days ago when I would click it and click get info, it said it was a pc. When I checked it today it said it is a "sharepoint" and looks like a harddrive.
I took it too the store after i spilt water on it but when I got it back it ran perfectly fine. I don't know a lot about computer so if somebody could help me. It says I'm connected to it and I can't disconnect or delete it. I don't know if the guy at the computer store put something in my computer and is sharing all my files.

What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.
