[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 1006199, member: 95559"] Hello, We are provided with free WiFi at work (for personal use, not work use). I've never had a problem with it until recently - about two weeks ago - when my Macbook started to run very very slowly online. I thought it might be a Mac issue as my colleagues with PCs had no online problems - but another colleague with a Macbook (lower spec than mine!) has no issues. We sat them side by side and his loaded pages and sites instantly, whereas mine took up to a minute per page? I'm still pretty new to Macs, so I don't know where to look, what to check etc. I thought I'd send in this post to ask advice, what could have happened, where should I look etc? Couple of bits of info: Macbook wireless fast and easy when at home, just at work is slow. Performs slightly better on Safari than Firefox (latest 3.6) - but still slow. I think that this happened shortly after latest OS X update? Employer is a large organisation, I have no access to info re their wireless set-up. Macbook working perfectly apart from this issue. Thanks in advance for any pointers. Cheers, CB Macbook black/core2duo 2.4 Ghz/4GB RAM/500GB-7200rpm HDD [/QUOTE]
