Something has happened to my mac internet download speed.  It's become reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal sloooooooooooooooooow.

Like, when I am watching a you tube video..it plays for about 5 seconds, then it freezes, and that little buffering circle goes around in the middle, then it resumes playing for another 5 seconds or so, then it freezes and buffers again, and so on.  Any ideas?  Thanks

May not be a mac thing - have you tried re-booting your modem / router / switch ? Tried a different computer on the same cable? In your macs utility folder is a network utility, and it can give you some stats about what is going on as well -

Tad....rebooted modem/router....works fine now.  Thanks a million

You're very welcome - glad it was that easy -

If you ever get stuck again and just can't figure a way to fix it, PM me, my husband used to do Mac IT support.

Look, I am a computer engineering. And i know if the speed of the downloading freezes, you must restart your router. it is not a problem with the operating system, otherwise from the company of the net.
