hougtimo Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Well I've had OS X 10.4.8 running pretty well for a couple of days now. I have one problem though...my internet and download speeds are rubbish, making browsing the internet not fun. I have a wireless lan card (intellinet) which uses the atheros chipset. I got it working by using the modified IO80211family.kext which seemed to work pretty good. But everytime I do a download i never get speeds more than 20Kilobytes per second. I should be getting <93. In windows I get my full download speed just fine, but I don't in osx. I have asked several people, and they claim im making it all up coz osx is brilliant etc.... i do like osx, and im not trying to bash it. I just want a resolution to this problem. thanks\ HougTimo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50585-really-slow-internet-download-speeds-in-os-x/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
