Hi,
I'm a little bit concerned as to why my broadband speed has decreased over the last couple of months, I've known it to be a lot faster and the Mac is only about 9 months old.
I decided to call Sky Broadband Customer Services to see if they could help at all. I'm currently getting about 2mb download speed (which I realise is quite acceptable to some people), but I'm paying for 20mb. I'm quite happy paying for that as I think I have quite a good deal (TV package, etc).
The guy at Sky advised me to check my 'Network Utility', then select 'Netstat', followed by selecting 'Display the state of all current socket connections'. This brought up a huge list, which Sky stated could be a factor, saying that my Mac "has too many connections to the internet" and that "there should only be about 10 connections".
Is there anyway to reduce this list at all?
Any help would be much appreciated.
