Need Help: Internet slow on my macbook

Seillig · Jul 17th, 2009, 12:11 AM

I'm running 2 Macs, both access the internet through an AirPort Extreme. One is a new mac mini using 10.5.7 and the other is a macbook running 10.4.11. For some reason, the macbook's internet has been loading a lot slower over the last few weeks.

I've run the utilities, updated safari, downloaded firefox, and changed my DNS servers and nothing has improved my situation.

I also ran speed tests on both machines and the download speeds were pretty much the same (2.95 & 2.96 mb/s), the ping was comparable, (17 & 43 ms) but the upload speed has a large gap. (.26 & .08 mbs)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve my page loading problem.

Thanks

These are appallingly poor download (and upload) speeds. Is that what you're paying for? If not, call the provider.
