Internet really slow after upgrading to Lion from Leopard!

Thre is a problem for sure but it actually works itself out, if I remember correctly the exact sme thing happened with leopard upgrade, but I'm not arsed to look throu the posts.

Personally I just restarted my modem a few times, it didn't work straight away but as I said with a few network diagnostics and assit me's in the preferences. Yes it's annoying when it happens and no I don't know the reason, but at least be comforted that it won't last longer then a few days.

That's all I can say.

You know I am having similar problems, I upgraded my macbook pro first and noticed the problem among others (a very poor battery life and a loud constantly running fan), but thought nothing of it. A few months later I upgraded my iMac and am still experiencing the slow internet problem. My wife finds the issue extremely annoying, so it is now an issue for me. Luckily and I am sad to say it I have solved this problem. Thanks to Bootcamp I can run windows7 and the internet runs perfectly. My wife is just as distressed as I am about the fix. years ago we switched to mac for the simplicity and the fact that the OS seemed to run flawlessly everytime, sadly those days seem to be over 😟

I've been having this problem too since the last update. Took some of the suggestions to sign out of iCloud in preferences and connection sped up from 0.2Mbps to 5.0Mbps instantly.

This solution ***** though because I want to keep my calendar and bookmarks synced. Might try turning iCloud back on when 10.7.4 appears.

Note: really? '*****' is a naughty word? Vacuum cleaners suck you know. Babies suck their pacifiers.

I wouldn't be surprised if you went as far as to censor '*****' too, as innocuous of a word as it is.

Scratch that. Less than ten minutes later and my internet has become slower than ever — 0.07Mbps. I might as well be using dialup.

Do you feel better now that you proved a point?

If someone quoted Tim Cook in an article and put asterisks over an innocuous word, I think a number of people might presume he'd been swearing in his statement. I'm sure he wouldn't want that sort of unfair label attributed to him, and nor would I. I've noticed your posts, you're an intelligent person on these forums, you can understand my point right?

After trying all versions of OS X on my Macbook Pro I determined that for the best use of resources, and security while connected to the internet, the highest version of OS X that would be acceptable was 10.7.5. While 10.10.x (the freebee) was a total joke, it sends so much info to remote servers about my files, in the background without notification to me as to what it was sending or why it quickly became a security issue (I am in the music industry and produce my own and edit others work on my Mac, so sending any info to someones server without my authorisation is unacceptable.). Not to mention that while having 8G of ram on this Mac I only had about 3G usable for me to do my work while using 10.10.xx . I progressively downgraded doing a "clean reformat and install" of each version of OS X until I settled on 10.7.5. But this version of OS X is sending stuff to Apple and trying to simulate a DoS attack back to Apple servers who in kind return port scans. It is not my internet provider, not my router, not my cable modem, not my firewall it is infact Apple Inc trying to scan my system for something they can use to benefit them, for future sales or whatever BS reason they give. Even with that they are much more acceptable than MicroScam... oops MicroSoft. here is the log file from my firewall, doing a whois on all ip addresses the OS is contacting Apple who inturn sends back a port scan to access this unit (it's yelling 'Here I am!' so Apple can scan this unit without authorisation, notification or confirmation from the owner Me)

You can say, "It's not Apple" all day and we both know you would be lying. Looking at the evidence this is Apple sending a signal beacon to the mother ship and awaiting further instructions, otherwise the owner would be involved giving authorisation or confirmation for this function or at least a notification. I have ALL auto update, keep updated and check for update options turned off. Had it not been for my firewall catching and logging all traffic, this transfer would go unnoticed except for a slow down of internet speeds... hum, it must be the service provider.... nope, just Apple, its in the TOS you accepted when you installed, or booted your system the first time.
