Hi, guys,

Not sure where to put my question as there is no MBP 13 non-TB topic here.

So i just bought my first Mac yesterday and it's a 2017 model with 13" non touch bar (256GB).

This morning, i was so excited to unbox it and go through all the initial setup with apple id, icloud setting and finally went into the desktop.
First thing i need to make sure the Filevault and Firewall are both turned on.


Next thing go to app store and check any update and HERE is the PROBLEM i faced.

I'm using both Unifi Advance with 50mbps plan (old home) and Streamyx 4mbps (new home) but the download speed from both resulting in ridiculously slow rate as per pic shown

The update is for the Mac OS Sierra latest version.

As this is my first MAC, so there are lots for me to learn now.

Anyone can please guide/help me on this problem?

Thanks in advance icon_rolleyes.gif

Will try to test it tonight, but loading youtube seems no problem on 1080p on unifi and 720p on streamyx
I can load smoothly

changing DNS settings doesn't change download speed, you're still downloading from the same host.

Don't worry about it, the download speed from the App Store fluctuates a lot especially when you are using Unifi. Just search through the forum here and you will find multiple threads on slow download speeds from the App Store.

It isn't anything wrong with your internet line or your hardware. Just the connection between where the App Store is hosted (I believe the closest is Singapore for us) and TM.

It works fine with other providers like TIME.
