    How slow is slow? You got some hard figures for the speed?

    Also, need more details about your setup, his setup, what you're doing, etc.

    Like while im downloading while surfing the web my download speeds goes down. Like lets say im downloading a 200mb file, it usually should take me about 10-15 mins but my wait time is about 1-2 hours. But compared to my friends macbook pro it takes 10-15 min.
