Just recently in the last couple weeks when ever i try to Download anything like updates or try to load a youtube vidoe it takes hours for me to get them to stream or download. I reset my internet and loading pages is super fast. I just have problems with trying to stream youtube videos or downloading updates. Its getting really frustrating when i cant even watch a video. Thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
When you download other things like apps or music, do you experience the same slow speed?
Maybe you have a slow internet connection. Maybe there's a problem at your ISP. Have you run Speed test?
http://www.speedtest.net
This was my first instinct as well. However, it can also be a software issue. all SpeedTest.net is, is a user-run script which downloads a large package and then measures the length it took to download. This doesn't tell you what the problem IS, only that there is a problem somewhere between your GUI, and the far-end server. Several hundred variables are laying between the two end-points.
Just did the speed test. ping 250ms download speed .25Mbps upload speed .11mbps.
I know thats slow. Its only on my downloads and watching youtube videos. I noticed when i try to download apps its also very slow. I did restart my interent and all that did was incress the load up times of pages but did noting for my Downloads.
hmm... 31kb/s is certainly not, but not exactly low enough to indicate a slow internet speed. Do other devices or laptops in the area experience the same slow-down? Or just that machine?
Im not sure. My parents probably wouldnt notice and my brother that knows about this hasnt been home for a bit. Its actually 0.25 download speed. Not 25. I restarted the moden the other day like my brother said and all it did was speed up my pages loading.
250kilobits/second as shown by SpeedTest.net actually translates to about 31kilobytes/second download speed. Most webpages are very small and are only around 5k - 150kb, therefore they dont take much to stream. Try running SpeedTest.net on one of the other machines in the house and see if you get the same lowsy result. If you do, then you need to call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and tell them you have lost partial-service with your internet. If you get a normal speed, then a different problem has taken place with the machine itself.
Just did the speed test on my moms computer. Download speed is ping is 18 5.12mbps download and upload is .62
What does the ISP claim you are supposed to be getting? It is unusual to have such a low upspeed next to such a fast downspeed. I would recommend making a call to your ISP just to make sure their system is working properly... If the result is unconclusive, then it HAS to be your computer.
Why does it take so long for me to dl anything
