    Yes, the list of my issues keeps on growing...

    Although Speedtest.net gives me around 700Kb/s, I'm not getting this speed elsewhere. From every other source, such as Apple trailers, gametrailers.com, random sites, I'm getting b/w 3-15KB/s.

    Other notebooks in the house work fine and have decent (100KB/s) speeds.

    So what's wrong now?

    EDIT: Just tried pinging google.com and got pings of around 500ms. And I'm getting on average 20% packet loss. This is terrible.

    this might be better placed in the networking and wireless section.

    Open Activity Monitor and select the Network tab. What are the speeds listed in the graph?
