Very slow wifi downloads from app store

Try rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 15 seconds.

Its because you're on CenturyLink. Apple is not the problem in this case. It's CenturyLink internet service, and they refuse to acknowledge and fix the problem. I suggest you go to their facebook page and voice your displeasure until they fix it. I can't download anything from the itunes store, app store, or any updates through my CenturyLink Wifi router. Any other ISP or when I'm on data connection from my cell phone service, it works. But not on WIFI with CenturyLink.

I have the same problem, all of my apple devices are slow to download, but my lenovo laptop downloads are fast.

I've been experiencing this as well. My wife downloads apps just fine via our home WiFi using her Samsung Galaxy S6. I use an Asus Router w/ Tomato firmware -- ISP is Oceanic Cable.

I Am having the same issues. I have had no trouble in the past, but since the update it is almost impossible to download anything.

HELP

It's not CenturyLink, I have never heard of them until now. I have AT&T Uverse and, in my case downloads from the app store are slow on wifi and cellular. My cellular provider is Verizon.

I am having the same problem. It's true for the iOS and OSX app stores across all my devices on work network, home network, and Verizon. I hope they get this resolved soon because it's pretty frustrating.

I Am having the same problem. I did not do the update, and am still at 8.4.0 on my iPad 4. The problem did begin around the time the update began to be offered, so I was thinking that it was because I did not do the update ~ but I guess not, since some of you who updated are experiencing the same issue. I have tried powering off and also the power/ home reboot. It isn't my connection speed, because I am able to stream videos with no problem. I am stumped.

I'm having the same issue on ATT Uverse. I've cycled my modem and my router. Seeing this tells me Apple has done something they didn't account for. I almost bought another router to address this. Thank goodness I found this post. @apple please address!

I'm in the same situation. Download speeds are terrible on my iPhone 5s and iPad 3 using WiFi, but no issues at all using cellular service. I have updated to 8.4.1, but was experiencing the slow downloads before updating as well; I have CableOne internet with 50mb download speeds. Anyone found a solution to the issue yet?

I found a solution that works for me, I changed the DNS server addresses on my home network to Open DNS, 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Everything is working perfectly now.

Thanks for the suggestion! I changed my DNS settings to your recommendation and my apps are downloading/updating like normal!!!

I'm having the same problem on both my iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro in the App store. My provider is Oceanic but it doesn't seem to be related to them.
