download very slow from App store

Hi,


I am facing a very slow download speed when download from AppStore using iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPad mini through WiFi. It takes 1 mins to download a software when using iPhone 3G network, but it takes more than 20 mins when switch to WiFi. I am using 100M fiber network, which can have a download speed of more than 5MB/S.

My iPhone 4 works fine before upgrade to iOS 6.1.3.

Anyone know what is the problem of this issue. And help me with this issue.



Thanks..

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2

Unfortunately this has been the case for me since forever 😟


It does not seem to matter what conection I am on. Even at my old apartment where I had a 1 Gbit/s connection it took for ages to download anything from the apstore.


At this current moment my iPad is downloading iOS 7 over WiFi and it says that the estimated time is 2 HOURS! I don't have time for this, and it feels that one needs to take an afternoon off just to get the latest iOS installed. The connection I have now is just a 50 Mbit/s connection but it still should only take at max. 4 minutes to get such a small file downloaded.


Same goes for updating apps when on 3G it is such a pain.


I really love my Apple devices but this is the only thing that really makes me go throught the roof and I wish that someone would finally take time to solve this issue.
