Brian 972 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 I had wireless internet, bought a new router (Apple Airport Extreme) then wired my connection to my computer. It worked great, amazing response times, no buffering to the point I could play 4K videos on YouTube without it stopping. Now suddenly, within the last week, my internet has slowed. Pictures take longer to load, and sometimes watching 1080p videos on YouTube it'll stop to buffer, I never had this issue before. I was averaging 18mpbs up 5mpbs down with 11 ping or so, now I just tested it and it's at 8.34mpbs up and 0.96mpbs down with ping at 47. Last week it went as low as 4mpbs down with ping well above 70. Pls help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 it is probably your ISP reducing your data speeds, because you've used more data than they would like. Comcast is famous for that. if its not that, I'd consider a new modem. also, those airport extreme routers suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portugal might be ass fuck town in many ways, but at least back home basic service is a guaranteed 30mb download. I want my 120mb connection back ffs.

Brian 972 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 I think the wire in the back of my modem leading to the router was a little loose, pushed it in all the way and it instantly got better. Fuckkkkkk $170. I hope you're getting premium porn tv channels for that sort of money. Nah they even charge for the game show channel now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trathen 15 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 has managed to improve considerably over the past few years. not sure by how much so I might have to reference the old topic. I shall go and research on igta and come and edit this later Edit: it appears that it hasnt improved by much since 2010 but it was much worse prior to that Ahh how everything changes, sufficient wifi speeds, hits 38mb/s on the wired connection downstairs.
