I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with OS X software. Last night I started having really slow wifi connectivity. I am not having this problem on my iPhone or AppleTV. As a matter of fact I am having to type this out on my iPhone right now. I am trying to run a speed test but that page had been trying to load for five minutes. I read a few other posts and tried switching DNS server but it didn't help. I really know nothing about this stuff. PLEASE HELP ME!

Try disconnecting from your Wi-Fi, and try a different hotspot.

Thank you n0cus. I took it up to my office today and tried it on the wifi there. Same issues. I did notice today that it is a little faster after switching the DNS. But it is still really slow.

Give Ethernet a try, and see if it has the same issue. I am trying to isolate what could be the matter.
