Hi everyone,
Ive noticed something interesting, for the past few weeks apps have begun installing very slowly in the past few week over wifi. And I still haven't figured out why. My wifi conntection via speedtest.net was measured at a download rate of 18.85 Mbps. They used to install fairly quickly but I have noticed that they install very sluggishly as of recent.
any Ideas?
Thank-you,
Shawn
May not be your end of the connection, Shawn. I had some very, very slow donwloads over the past weekend, also. Could be coming from the other end of the line where the crunch is.
Try over a different wireless connection and see if that changes things. Did not make a difference for me whether at another house, in an airport, or at home...all were slow.
Im gonna use th app songza as an example, since it is under 50 Mb. Installed it via LTE in about 5 seconds from in basement. My LTE connection is about 40Mbps.
Tried installing the same app only a 35 mb app and the app is taking about 10 minutes to install which is crazy slow.
I have gone through my router settings to see if I could find anything out of the ordinary but I haven't
btw on my laptop webpages load instantly
I contacted d-link and went through a few changes and steps but we came to same result. Not sure if it is a wifi issue with iOS 6.1.3
Every Apple product in my house connected to wifi (Airport Extreme) is having painfully slow downloads from the iTunes store/App store. I've been searching the internet for days to find a solution, but all I see are plenty of people with the same problem described here. It must have been the last round of Apple updates that screwed up wifi access to the iTunes store. I have no problems when using cellular data.
Regular internet use over wifi is fast like normal. So that's a plus.
I am not convinced it is the WiFi access that is messed up, more likely the other end of the connection, the Apple servers. There isn't a reason, i.e., major release, that would be overloading the servers right now. Could just be system maintenance or changes being implemented. Those things always cause problems, and when nothing is said about what is being done users just get frustrated.
Last night downloaded a new update to the Weather Channel app on my iPhone and the whole thing took less than a minute; download/install. So that one data point might indicated this has been straightened out finally.
I have had this exact same problem for about the last 10 days. Very slow app installs on 4 ipads, 3 iPhones. Nothing has changed in my all Apple network of routers. Wired desktop Mac's showing no signs of slownes, nor the iDevices show any evidence of slowness on anything BUT the App Store.
I had the same exact issue. I thought it was my home internet but speedtest shows great DL/UL speeds.
Anyone get this fixed?
I had 6 of the same app updates on both my iPhone and iPad last night - the iPad finished all 6 while the iPhone was still loading the first one. So, it isn't my router/internet. Browsing and any other app internet activity seems to be fine. Apps download fast over LTE.
Last night I noticed App Store downloads on wifi returned to normal speed. The change happened on its own.
Nope still slower then a 200 year old turtle 😐
A 200 year old turtle is a young dude 😀
Where is everyone from? Maybe it's an ISP issue?
I've been getting the same issue. Other areas on wifi are fine, 3G is fine, home is not. I've confirmed with another person that they are also having issues.
I'm from Toronto, ON, CAN area.
Mine returned to normal on Friday, only to return to its glacially slow downloads again this morning. The iPad is running great though. Go figure.
What area are you from?
