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.

Why is my internet speed so slow?

Why is my internet speed so slow. Ohter computers connected to my network are not having this problem.

Hi,
If you feel that your Internet connection is slow then
1)Try to find If your computer is affected with malicious software or scripts,try to remove them and use a powerful anti virus to scan your system.
2)Clear all the cache files and history of the browsers,this may help in increasing the browsing speed.
3)Avoid using browsers which requires flash and Java scripts.And use the browsers like FireFox and Chrome.By using this browser you can increase the downloading speed ,because this browsers don't use and flash and Java script.After doing this check your internet speed in the site ScanmySpeed.com which may provides you the exact speed of your connection without using any java or any flash scripts.

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.

Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased?

Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased? Seems only fair.

logical. fair. I can understand the confusion in policy as another fine cloud service - DropBox - has a different model for increases in free storage amounts for one account = evangelism. As many policies as there are services probably.

Why is the write speed so slow to my NAS

Hi, I am trying to improve the write speed from my MBP to the NAS. I am using the Thunderbolt ethernet adapter connected to an Airport Extreme 7.6.1 using a wired connection. I have a Synology DS213 with a wired connection to the Airport Extreme as well. I am using CAT6 cables.
In testing my performance, I noticed writing files from my MBP to the NAS was very slow; whereas my read performance was much better. Please see the tests below to explain this further.
Using the Blackmagicdesign Disk Speed Test Utility using a 5Gb test file written to the NAS, I see the following:
Write speed is 7 to 8MB/s This write speed is what concerns me.
Read speed is between 60 MB/s and 75 MB/s
Using 2 finder windows (drag a file from one window(MBP) to the other(NAS)) and watch the disk activity on the Activity Monitor with a 1Gb file
When writing a file to the NAS from the MBP:
Write speed will burst to 19 to 23 MB/s but it will drop to below 10 MB/s at times.
When writing a file to the MBP from the NAS
Write speed is: 46 to 60 MB/s
Why would the write speed from my MBP to the NAS be so slow ; whereas, the write speed from the NAS to the MBP is very fast.
Synology has 2 WB 'green' disks configured as raid 1. I understand that part of the influence of writing from the NAS to the MBP is utilzing the advantage of writing to a SSD ; whereas, writing to the NAS it is writing to a slower drive.
Is 19 to 23 MB/s burst with dips below 10 MB/s during a copy typical? The other thing is I dont understand why the Disk Speed Utility never records write speeds to the NAS over 10 MB/s whereas the Activity Monitor will show the bursts at times of 19 to 23 MB/s
If 7 to 8 MB/s write speeds is too slow, what can I look at to improve this? Since writing the file in the other direction is pretty fast considering, how could the issue be a network one?

I was transferring my iPhoto library from an older MBP to a new retina and having the same issue - transfers almost immediately slowing to less than 100k/sec over my beautiful Time Warner-provided WiFi router using regular OSX folder sharing. I couldn't find any software updates as some other similar threads suggested.
I put my iPhoto library in a .tar.gz archive and that immediately transfered at about 7mb/sec, much much faster! So, without having diagnosed the issue, perhaps I've uncovered evidence that one or both of my machines doesn't like transferring big file trees. I bet a zip or any other archive would do the trick.

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.

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 the internet speeds so slow with mountain lion?

I have noticed an significant reduction in Internet speeds since I purchased my new Mac Mini. Same internet connection, more memory (8GB), nice new 27" Thunderbolt display but my Dell laptop handles streaming video (YouTube) much better. Even my iTunes do not run well. Significant pauses on many songs from iCloud.
I have not chnaged the default settings and I have tried Safari and Chrome browers with no noticiable differences. Any suggestions?
Dick Agin

That worked. Thanks.

Why is FF 7.01 so slow...Peacekeeper benchmarked at 2814 vs 3607 for 6.0.2 and 3693 for 4.01?

This is on a 2 year old Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OSX 10.7 Lion.
Firefox is getting slower with age, not faster, as the other browsers are doing. While FF 7 benchmarked 2814 Google Chrome did very close to 7000...more than twice as fast. Opera was 4624, Safari 4239. Firefox used to be the fastest, now it is the slowest mainstream browser. This is a bad trend. When Chrome gets a good mouse gestures add-on (like Firegestures) and an easy to use text highligher (like Wired-Marker) I'm leaving FF forever.

Upload Speed Shockingly Slow - Answer: Annex M?

Hello BT.
Fibre is not an option at my exchange at the moment. My internet connection works, is 100% stable, and this question is purely about increasing my upload speed.
My download speed is a nice 8Mbps, but my upload speed is 0.19Mbps. This is completely unusable, posting a large photo to facebook is almost imposible, and posting a video to youtube is practically impossible. It's shockingly slow.
I'm on the top residential BT Broadband package unlimited which I believe is ADSL 2+. I've read about a product called Annex M that I know BT offer as an option. This allows you to trade some download speed for upload speed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU_G.992.5_Annex_M
Could I please have Annex M enabled on my account, as I would prefer to loose some download speed and get some faster download speed?
If so, what do I ask for when I call BT sales?
If not, why not?
And if not, what *can* I do to add an extra product / pay extra to increase my obismal upload speed?

Thanks, but I want to maximise the one connection I have. Getting two connections is not really viable for me. I just want to increase my upload speed. If that means loosing a bit of download speed, then so be it.
I only suggested it as you did say you were prepared to pay to get an increase in upload speed.
Unfortunately you cannot trade download speed for upload speed.
Until such time as FTTC is available to you bonding is the only real way.

My Internet speed is slower than it should be.

My family has had verizon high speed internet for years but for some reason I decided to question the speed that we were getting. I went to the verzion website to look at the plans and we should be getting 1 Mbps download and 384 Kbps, but when I went to Speedtest.net to check out what speeds we were getting. I ran the speed test about 10 times and the results are about the same:
DOWNLOAD - 0.09 Megabytes per second
UPLOAD - 16.4 Kilobytes per second
What I want to know is why are the speeds not higher? Im thinking that verizon forgot to update our speed since the time when we first got it, about 4 or 5 years ago!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A Verizon Tech support employee helped solve the issue. Apparrently we still had the same plan when we started and were only getting 768 kbps download and were paying like $21 dollar for it. So we are going to upgrade and get the starter plan and pay $20 a month and get 1 MB download. I might even get the 3 MB download plan.

AEBS, speeds suddenly slow on my Mac only

The past few days, my internet at the house has been quite slow, where everything has previously gone fine.
I've tried a restart, to no avail, and ran a quick test with my iPhone on the same network, using iNetworkTest.com.
iPhone speed - 718kbs
Mac speed - 80kps
My phone was next to the Mac running the test, and as I said, previously have never had any problem. I've restarted the AEBS, Restarted the Mac, and have seen only minor improvement.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

same here except Im getting 30kbps
I think I'll try disconnecting the aebs from power, waiting, then reconnecting - before I go ape with my ISP.

Broadband speed SO SLOW!

So my download speed has been slow for about 3 months now, but at this point its starting to really get annoying. Download speed on steam is 30KB/s and no matter what device i test, my desktop connected via ethernet or a iPhone connected via wireless the ping is high and the speeds are slow.
Anyone able to help. Here is what the Hub says. If you need anymore information just let me know.

Speeds have been slow and are not getting better. Everyone on the forum has said just wait and it will configure itself. Well guess what, its been weeks and weeks without improvment. Every four days the hub would reset and change speeds, but this would sometimes be by less then 0.02Mbps. This is the reason the up time is just around 4 hours. Instead of speeds getting faster the upload speed was is decreased.
Can anyone help me get some of the speeds i am predicted by BT?

Download speed will slow to nothing. Must continually manually pause and resume to force the connection to the download to complete. How to fix?

Have recently tried to download multiple files from multiple locations. These files will show up as downloading in the download manager. After 5-10 seconds, the download will slow to a crawl. In the window for the download manager, it will state that the download still has a download speed. When reviewing the time and progress, as well as monitoring my actual inbound/outbound internet traffic, I can conclude the download does not have any actual download speed remaining (that is, 0 kilobytes/sec).
To complete the download, I must manually click on the file being downloaded, force it to pause and then force it to resume. This will cause the download to actually download again for about 5-10 seconds before the download manager states that the download speed is slowing down (when in fact it goes back to 0 kilobytes/sec). This process must be repeated until the file is fully downloaded.
Also observed is that there will suddenly be more of a connection, downloading just a bit of the file, before going back to 0 kbps. This will happen every so often and is much slower than manually pausing/resuming. If left to its own devices for long, it also has a chance that it will decide that the file is complete and report that it has the full file size of the download. Review of the actual downloaded file shows that the file is incomplete for the supposed size of the download.
This should not be an issue with internet usage. There is no inbound/outbound traffic for my connection when the download speeds hit 0kbps. Loading webpages during this time load fine, only the download is unstable.

Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great!

Why is my iPod Touch so slow on Verizon midi 4620L?

I just got a Verizon mifi 4620L Jetpack hotspot thingy.
I connect my MacBook Pro to it and get 17mbps or so download speeds, 3mbps or so going up.
I connect my 3rd gen iPad to it and get about the same.
But when I connect my 5th gen iPod Touch to it I rarely get download speed peaks higher than 2mbps and most of the time the avg comes out to be less than 1mbps according to the Speedtest.net app on the iOS devices.
So, the iPad and MacBook Pro both work properly on the Verizon mifi hotspot and the iPod Touch doesn't. On all other networks I've tried the iPod Touch can support download speeds up to about 25mbps maybe even more. All these devices currently perform the same at home on the Comcast fed wifi network: very fast download speeds on them all with modest upload speeds. So I know there's nothing wrong with the iPod's wifi radios. There's just something quirky going on in how the iPod Touch and the Verizon mifi thing talk to one another because another thing that's strange: the iPod will download around 1mbps but then go up at about 10-12mbps. The exact opposite of what I would like except for those rare times I would actally like to send out a lot of photos quickly.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Also, when I look at the connected devices as an admin the iPad's device name is recognized and listed but the iPod Touch remains named Unknown. Does this matter?
I'm frustrated because the iPod Touch is what I would most like to use with the mifi!
Any body come across this situation?

Does the iPod connect to other networks OK?
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.
- Power off and then back on the jetpack
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
