Real Internet performance? -Internet speeds are slower than expected when streaming videos or loading pages

With my "N" external WIFI adapter connected, signal quality indication is that v. GOOD to EXCELLENT (4-5 green bars) and at up to 54 Mbps speed most of the time.  But when I ran a test on a Web site, the result was 0.6 Mbps.  I am able to surf the Internet for 2-3 seconds from site to site, or Google... Results of most Web sites.  Please explain why these disparities in quality and speed, and why loading movies from 70-90-minutes oldie (black & white) on You Tube or Retrovision.TV, etc., can take up to 20 minutes.  Everything what should I download from the Internet in order to speed up the load time?

Here is more information: laptop is about 18 months - used about 500 hours - Windows (the other laptop with Windows 7 which is used about 20 hours is no different) with the same featuresVISTA, Acer Intel Pentium Processor and SU2700 1.3 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, Intel GMA 4500MHD up to 1244 MB, 3 GB DDR3, 320 HARD drive (more than space is FREE).
Thank you very much.

Hello
54 Mbps is not internet download speed. It is the rate of transfer between computers that are connected to your network. 54 Mbps is the maximum speed at which you can copy files from one computer (connected to your wireless network) to another (which is connected to your network wireless or wired). Obviously, wired connections can go faster (100 Mbit/s is the speed of the standard cable). The speed at which you can download files from the internet is determined by the bandwidth that your internet provider gives you.  But the fact is, you can't download anything beyond 5 Mbit/s unless you download from a computer that is on your network.

    Thank you very much right now.

    Hi mate

    > Configuration of xp, it is hourssss
    This means that you have tested the laptop under Win XP?

    How did you install the Win XP? Have you installed using AHCI mode (in BIOS) or you switch to compatible mode?

    By using the compatibility mode that HARD drive could run slower and this could affect the performance of the operating system.

    Solution: You must install the Win XP in AHCI mode. I think the laptop supports the AMD chipset and the required drivers are therefore part of the ATI graphics chip.
    Download the graphics driver, choose the drivers SATA and include it in the Win XP disc using nLite application. nLite is free and all details can be found in the internet.

  • Broadband (download) speed in Win7 x 64 installation slower than expected

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7 Pro installed on the same desk (separate hard disks), and I noticed that in my 64 bit version, the DSL speed was lower most of the time.

    My Verizon DSL subscription guarantees 1 megabit per second (128 kilobytes per second), or so should be.  I ran a test of speed to cFosSpeed.de on my OS and my laptop Win8.1.  My Win7 64 bit registered 542 kilobits/s (67.8 K / s), and my Win7 32-bit recorded 943 kilobits/s (117.9 K / s).  I tested my laptop, and I get 939 Kb/s (117.3 K / s),

    There is nothing in my task manager that indicates that something in my machine, or any software, is cannibalizing my speed broadband in Win7 x 64 and I have Kaspersky running, and he has not picked up what could be the cause.  So, how did my broadband is running at full speed in my Win7 32-bit configuration, but only 57.5% of the speed in my Win7 64-bit installation?  And everyone knows about such a large difference between their installation to 64-bit and 32-bit installation?

    I simply started clean my machine, and I get the normal broadband speed in my Win7 x 64 environment.

    I allowed each of my services to software one by one, and it wasn't long to find the service software interfering with my broadband speed.  It belongs to my cFosSpeed Service system, software that came with my card mother ASRock Z77 Extreme6.  The software is XFast LAN, v6.61.1880.

    I suspect it was because of a bad installation of the driver of the motherboard, my DVD software.  I deleted the software, then reinstalled, and so far, I get a normal speed for my x 64 environment.

  • Size of the PDF forms are higher than expected

    Hi, I seem to have a problem with the file size of my PDF Forms.

    I have created on Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 9.0.0.2.20120627 xfa forms and they are all at least 1 big MB which is large enough for an xfa form.

    When I initially create an xfa form, it is around 11-12 Kb, when I add a few items in the shape that it is not too large, 30-90 Kb around, but when I have almost completed my forms it always ends with 1 MB of data.

    I thought that maybe it's because I'm pasting some already created objects from another on a new, but this is not the case.

    Before that, I checked the XML source to see if there is anything suspicious about the forms and I created if I could find something the size of my PDF files.

    I have seen my biggest form who have 15 k lines of XML coding and 1,386 Mb and another with only 5 k lines of XML coding and 1,303 Mb.

    So here, the ratio is 10 k XML encoding is equal to 83 KB. A blank form is about 136 coding XML and is equal to 10 KB.

    When I see other forms that I didn't create, other sources, they are around 300-600 Kb...

    Now I wonder what could be the reason why my forms are so much bigger.

    Would it because I'm not on the side Server encoding?

    Is it because of my Script objects?

    Or because I'm missing something on xfa forms?

    Or, maybe because I don't use Action Builder?

    Or that's what I think, I use different functions, more it grows, perhaps as a result of using these functions, objects of reference?

    If anyone knows what is the main reason for a PDF size XFA form, I would like to know.

    Thank you

    Hello

    the reasons for the large files are generally images and embedded fonts.

    In forms with the default fonts like Arial or Myriad Pro, it is unwise to incorporate fonts in Reader/Acrobat already has the fonts and do not need to be incorporated.

    Only Arial needs about 450 KB in a form.

    If you use images don't embed them, because it means that they get stored as a string encoded in base64 in the XML source instead of a stream encoded flate in the PDF.

    Base64 is very clumsy and needs more space.

  • WRT110 wireless speed too slow

    Wired connection from the computer to my new WRT110 Acer laptop to dual-core with 2 MB of RAM is really very fast.  (G-band) wireless speed is slower than dial-up or slower.  I can't use it yet!  The signal is strong.  How can I improve speed?  My older work laptop Lenovo sitting right next to my Acer wireless connection is very fast.

    No, not the firewall problem.  I changed the MTU of 'auto' on 'manual' and changed default value of 1500 to 1300.  I don't know what an MTU, but it is an improvement of the DRAMATIC speed on wireless.

  • Download spead is slower than the high speed internet download speed

    Wireless laptop: this computer's Internet speed is about 18 MB, 3 MB of loading. runs great

    Computer PC: I had problems with downing video short loading like a YouTube. I tested the range cable to the modem and the router. For this computer, I have less than 1 MB then download 2.3 MB download. Defrag, cookies, drive, all is as it should be, ram 4 and Charter Security Suite up to date.

    Is it possible Mozilla is part of the problem with the slow download PC and higher load up?

    If you use a Flash based speed test, you will need to optimize first Flash until you get useful results during the test. Check out this thread: Firefox too slow to react.

    About video downloads, make sure that you are completely up to date with your software from RealNetworks.

  • The "N" wireless Internet speed is 30 to 50% slower than the wired connection

    Hi JTBisaha,

    Wi - Fi connection, the speed reduction could be due to several reasons. Few of them are listed below:

    1. There could be interference in the network you use.

    2. There may be a lot of users are using the same network at this moment

    3. the point of network access can be blocked by something at that time.

  • Why slow internet speeds of Windows 8?

    Do a search on any search engine, and you will see that Windows 8 is considerably slowing down internet connections and each each Web site (within a Web site velocities are not too bad), no matter how the settings and adjustments are made to the configuration of a computer. Microsoft seems determined to deny this reality - but we users many would prefer that she in fact invests the time and energy to a difficulty. I have a brand new HP Envy h8 - 1520t, inflated and loaded with all the bells and bells, including a "Premium" LAN card The new HP is sitting in the room of a machine from DELL (Windows Vista) absolute Core Duo for eight years that whips its tail on the internet high speed. Basically, Windows 8 stinks. If I had known it was this bad, I would have ordered a Windows 7 machine on clearance and saved a ton. I adjusted limit bandwidth, network, power saving mode settings, etc. and increased my internet cable feeds at 30 MB/s with the addition of power and a new modem/router - but Windows 8 it always chokes down so that the internet creeps into my new computer out of breath. Online gambling is, as are streaming videos (for example, ESPN, NASCAR, etc.) and other features "live." And I just dropped more $2 K if I could have anyone.

    How long until what Microsoft offers a patch?

    For me, I tried all the fixes I could find and nothing has worked. Turns, the brand new computer was worse than the old windows wireless adapter 7 that was fast. I ended up spending my extension wireless in the room with my laptop and then using an ethernet cable for the laptop the Wireless extender. Problem solved. I hope this helps others who hide their laptop and use another monitor, a keyboard and a wireless mouse.

  • Slow internet speed because of the Marvell Yukon LAN driver

    Hi all!

    I'm a newbie here so don't know if I'm supposed to ask this question here but anyway, hope, my problem is solved somehow.

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer, I received last week and everything works well except my internet speed, its too slow. I'm on a 10 Mbps plan but my speed is no where near that. I get speeds close to 200 kb/s at 300 KB/s max. After some googleing I got to know that the Marvell Yukon LAN driver is the problem here.

    According to some Internet sites, we are supposed to roll back the driver to a previous version, I did it, but speed still does not pass. I have tried almost all the things I can do, but nowhere so far. I called my ISP, they say that everything is rosy on the other hand, ran the scan of Norton Antivruis on this computer, the firewall disabled, and the list is long but nothing.

    It would be great if someone could help me out here.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    checked your connection with another computer, if the problem persists try with another machine?

    Would be really interesting... If not I suggest you to reclaim your machine to 'default '. Maybe it's solved something.
    Another idea would be to remove the service from the "Qos" (quality of service) of your network connection, which hardly slows down the connection for software reasons.

    Please give some feedback and please tell me what system you´re using (Vista, XP)
