Hi everyone.
Been having this problem with safari download speeds. Whenever I try speed tests (no flash) I can get a speed of between 200-250 mbps max downloads. I'm on a 1 gbps plan. When I use firefox, I get about 800-900 mbps.
I've tried this on my Macbook Pro, the wife's macbook pro, my mac pro all show the same issue with safari. Have disabled all extensions. Have even tried it with clean installs of the whole OS. Same issue. Stunted download speeds, although interestingly I can get my stated upload speeds (I have a rated 600 mbps upload speed and I can get about 450 mbps uploads.)
Initially I thought it had something to do with my IP service, but the IP tech guy came down and checked and everything was fine, he got the stated speeds. On his suggestion, I tried another browser (firefox) which I hadn't thought of testing and I got the rated speeds.
I've searched and found some helpful suggestions (disable extensions, use private browsing, disable iCloud, clear caches, etc) and I've even reinstalled the OS. Same issue.
I'm out of ideas. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Note, I'm running El Capitan 10.11.3 now, but I was having this issue with the previous version as well.
Thanks!!
