[QUOTE="rolanddes, post: 1327271, member: 209365"] You're right. 1- I checked countless times from my ethernet connected windows 7 pc. Appr. 7 Mbps (down) to 1 Mbps (up) with 15-20 ms of latency 2- I checked from my sister's 54 Mbit windows xp laptop countless times and it was the same: Appr. 7 Mbps (down) to 1 Mbps (up) with 15-20 ms of latency 3- Also no problem with 2 iPhones and an iPad. 4- Tries downloading files from http ed2k and torrent p2p networks. All the results were the same. So it was not Apple's server problem but my Macbook Pro's problem somehow. So I had been meddling with it for a day and somehow I got it fixed by one of these: (I do not know which) - Deleting the password for the wireless network - Changing the WEP password to a more secure WPA 2 Personel version - Deleting the whole keychain - Doing the CMD OPT P R thing (until you hear to startup sounds) to reset all cached settings. - Moving laptop very close to the router. - Resetting router for a dozen times - Resetting Airport for a dozen times. Hope helps someone in the future if they have the same problems. Thanks everyone.. [/QUOTE]
