Download speeds

[ckpeck]

My Comcast internet is running at 10-13 mbs, yet when I download a movie from iTunes the download takes many hours.

I can run a speed test on my Mac and it will say 12 mbs, but run the speed test on my iPhone and it says 1 mbs or less.

Do I have some setting goofed up? Any ideas why it would be doing this?

Depending on which SpeedTest app you're using (I assume you're using one of these on the iPhone), I would try a different server in the settings. I've had widely diverse results depending on the server being used.

It's probably down to the iPhone's slow WiFi. Could also be a security thing - turning WEP off on my router and using MAC filtering sped things up for me.

I set my phone to DMZ and it sped it up a lot.

Reset your modem and router, try putting router in single channel mode and not mixed; either 'g' or 'n' only. Then reset your iPhone and try again. I also have Comcast and get the same 15Mbps on my computers and iPhone.

Dumb question, but is your WIFI on on your phone? Just had to ask sorry. I too have 15mbps ISP and get that on computers and iPhone.

What kind of router do you have. My experience is that the Belkins do not play nice with Mac products. I had a Belkin and all the PCs could connect and surf. My Macs kept disconnecting after a few seconds. I haven't had a problem since I got rid of the Belkin.
