Q: Very slow internet
I have been having issues with slow internet for the last few weeks, but this only seems to happen on a night. Normal speed is 8.0mbps but on an evening i get about 0.5mbps. The problem is not with my line or router because my iphone, ps3 and ipad work at full speed. The problem started on my 2006 intel imac. I thought the problem was with the airport card on the imac because when i use an ethernet cable the speed is back to normal.
I bought a 13" mbp this week and set it up with a time machine backup from the imac and i have the same problem on an evening with slow internet. I dont know much about these things can anybody offer advice what might be causing the problem and how to put it right.
Imac is 2.16ghz core2duo running os x 10.5.8
mbp is june 2012 2.5ghz i5 duocore running 10.8.3
i just ran a test on speedtest.net and the results were:
mbp ping-54ms / download 0.66mbps / upload 0.19
iphone4 ping-184ms / download 8.64mbps / upload 0.91mbps
