The last month or so the internet speeds at my work when using Lion have been really slow. It just happened one day when I came in. Nothing had changed, that I know of, from the day before. I don't have access to the routers, but it happens both over wifi and ethernet. I've tried using Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.
When I run a speedtest from www.speedtest.net in any of those browsers, I get around 1.5 MB/s. So the actual internet speed isn't slow, just page loads using Lion. To further frustrate, when I run Parallels and browse from it, the pages load just as they should.
I've searched, and tried changing settings in my Network Preferences, but can't get this working quickly. When I use the internet at home, connected to a Time Capsule, it works just fine. So there's something specific to the Mac browsers and the network here at work that just don't like each other. Without having access to the network/router settings, is there anything I can do to try and get my browsing speed back to what it used to be? I'd really prefer to not use Parallels every time I need to browse the internet.
