This might go under the mac area.... but it has to do with networking i think?


My moms comp is a Mac OS X, its a fast computer... but the connection speed is horrible. we have optimum online so it should be fast. I dont really know my way around a mac and was wonderin if someone could steer me in the right direction to fixing the slow internet.
i did a speed test and this is what i got
Download Speed: 13615 kbps (1701.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1778 kbps (222.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Its really high... so why does it take so long to load a page?
