Internet slow on all circumstances
Hello,
My internet is barely working, to the point of being unusable (1Mb taking over an hour to download). It all started when I decided to do a fresh install on my windows 7.
I have the original windows 7 home sp1 disc and latest bootcamp drivers for my machine, which is a mid-2011 iMac. Before installing I wiped and then recreated the windows partition to make sure I’d get a clean install. I haven’t installed anything so far other than bootcamp drivers from a usb stick, so there’s no software nor spyware eating by bandwidth.
I’ve tried to go wired and wireless, as well as wireless through a WiFi usb dongle (I disabled both internal cards before doing that), and even via my phone’s Bluetooth. I also tried ditching the router and connecting directly to the cable modem. Nothing worked, same results: internet does “work”, but speeds are just ridicule.
I have 2 other computers at home running windows and they work just fine. Mine was working fine before the reinstall and it still works perfectly under MacOS. My phone and iPad also work fine on my network.
My ping times are awesome, at 13ms to nearby domains, it’s just the download speed that’s terrible.
I even tried to run windows in safe mode with networking but that didn’t work either. I also tried to update .NET through a usb stick drive, but that didn’t solve the issue. I’ve reinstalled windows 3 times after that. I’m clueless.
Would anybody please shine a light?
Thank you
Best
Eduardo
