That download speed is sick! What is your upload speed? We don't have fiber here in the sticks. I have cable broadband, my download speed is around 650.

That’s cable broadband on Spectrum in Tampa area. My upload is around 40 Mbps.

I’m on my second iPhone 17 pro. Latest software and still not working. Have to reset network every few hours. Can’t believe Apple don’t seem to accept there is a problem. Going to give them until end of November and then downgrade to an older model if no improvement.

The next expected update to iOS 26 is not until mide December or early January. So, if you want to troubleshoot the issue, now is the time. Otherwise, don’t wait until end of November because nothing will change between now and then unless you implement the changes or swap it out.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I bought my iPhone 17 two days ago. I’ve tried resetting my wifi, forgetting the network, turning my phone on and off. I tested my internet speed on my desktop and I get 276 Mbps on my phone I got 21 Mbps

Yes, privacy and security measures put in place by both consumers and providers can definitely slow down the service.

Same issue. And the antenna range for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is ridiculous — about one-third of the range compared to the iPhone 12 Pro.

I’m having the same issue. I should’ve kept the 13 ProMax 🤬

having the same exact issue with my iphone 17 pro right now (purchased last Nove 11). have you found a solution yet?

My 3rd iPhone 17pro arrives Monday. I really think this is a hardware problem so this is my last attempt before I reject the phone. I’m running on latest software updated this week, have no VPN and have reset countless times. Speed immediately speeds up to acceptable levels circa 300mb in my case and within a few hours is down to 10-12 mb. I’m disappointed Apple won’t admit they have a major issue as this is wasting a lot of time. It’s a business phone and I’m constantly being cut off when WiFi calling.

Please post the data in the blocks from the following shortcut:

This data:

Also, do you have a Mac or PC available to scan the Wi-Fi?

Is this network Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, or something else?

Is the Wi-Fi router firmware current?

And have you tested with other (and preferably similar Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, or Wi-Fi 7) Wi-Fi networks?
