Speedtest failing Seems that it happened quite a few times. I can't get Speedtest (standalone app) to run. It starts and finally displays: It started to behave this way under Catalina and is the same after I moved to Big Sur. Same using Ethernet or WiFi. Same using Firefox connected to speedtest.net However it works OK on my iPhone (connected to the same WiFi, router and provider). kronoso1979 had about the same issue and solved it by: kronoso1979 Nov 9, 2020 1:12 PM in response to VikingOSX So I finally solved the issue. The issue seemed to be in my privacy/content settings. I removed all privacy content restrictions. I have my restrictions set high only because I want to make sure nothing can infiltrate my Mac. Would anybody have an idea of where and what to tweak those privacy restrictions (that I did not alter intentionally) My quick config is: MacBook Pro 16" 2019 2.3 GHz Intel i9 8 core, connected via a Belkin USB 3 to the Ethernet Gigabit router port. Now running Big Sur 11.1 Thanks for any help.

Internet speed test slower then a windows based pc test Good day, I make some tests on my MabBook pro 2019 with several online internet speed tests and the results is that the spedd on mi MBP is very very slower then perform the same test with a Win PC. I have same speed difference using wifi or using ethernet cable. Of course the tests are done using same wifi router and same ethernet cable, just plug and unplug to the other pc and running the same online test. Running the test with ethernet cable the MBP download speed using ookla is about 12Mbps, running the same test on WinPc the speed is 90Mbps As you can see the difference is very very high. I repeat the condition of the tests are always the same on both the computers. Can anyone suggest how to solve this? thanks

Slow internet speed when upgraded to MacOS Monterey When I upgraded to Monterey my internet speed on my mac slowed down to an awful 2Mb/s based on https://www.speedtest.net/ readings. On any other devices the internet speed was fine except for my mac.

If you are running antivirus, VPN or Firewall apps, that could cause the problem.

I already check this. This is not the problem. Unfortunately. Thank you though!
