Downloads speed wasn't much of note (I wasn't watching closely, though speed tests said it was fast), but downloads were constantly dying for me, e.g. "unexpected EOF" or they'd just stop without warning.This problem is more like I’m downloading a 10mb file in 5kb speeds on Ethernet
That was the problem
WiFi was working fine
Did you leave it in manual setting ?
I left it on manual, which is literally between 10-20x better, but still 4.6% loss is a lot. So I put it back to automatic and I was getting 0.6-0.9% packet loss for the better part of a day. Awesome, problem solved...until the next time I powered down and back up again. I was back to having 73.8% packet loss. Was able to reproduce that again with another power cycle. Unfortunately, that workaround isn't holding up on Automatic as well now as it did last time. It has to be on manual, and even then, still get some bad loss, just not in the double-digits.
I had a call with Apple senior support and sent them a packet trace and sys diagnose. They will follow-up in a few days. Hopefully we'll see if they can provide a more permanent fix.
Questions for all:
1) did this happen before updating to Ventura 13.2 or only after? I only noticed it after, and presumably the issue would have been so bad that downloading the update would have been impossible. Though, updating to 13.2 was the first thing I did, so it's hard to say if it was fine before the upgrade.
2) Does powering down for a few seconds and back up again make the issue come back for you too?
