both using the same setup firefox latest version and dta set to download on max segments which is how i always use it.

the mac goes straight to 5.4 mb/s and stays there solid

the sony goes to 600kb stays there, slowly creeps up to 3.37mb/s by half way through the 1gb file and thats the best it got

so there is a difference

thanks
For accuracy, let's get the bps and BPS right.

Assuming they were running at the same time:

MAC = 5.4 MB/s
PC = 0.6 MB/s rising to 3.4 MB/s

I take it that the 3.4 MB/s occurred when the Mac had finished its download.

The 5.4 + 0.6 is exactl;y what a fully performing downstream would deliver.

So, do we need to look at the PC and it's wireless settings?
