I'm having issues downloading files from Apple and Microsoft specifically. Instead of downloading at full speed, they download at about 80 KBps. Other sites run fine, speedtests show my connection at a full 12 Mbps. This started the other night when I got a new computer and had to download Microsoft Office and various Apple programs again. While the speeds started out fine, they came to a standstill and have been this way on all computers since. Sites that work fine include Wolfram and Smart Technologies.
Now here's the kicker. If I connect through my university's VPN to download Apple/Microsoft things, the speeds are immediately up to a full 12Mbps. I talked to AT&T support yesterday out of frustration, and when I told them that the speedtests ran at full speed, he said my connection was fine and that was that. The issue is still there.
Am I being throttled, or is there a possible issue with AT&T's connection to these servers right now?
