Hey all

Typically have BB of ~10/12Mbps and 30msec ping. Turn my Mac on and goes to 2/3Mbps and 300msec ping. Can't see anything running in background, have done reboots, deleted a few gaming apps the kids had downloaded. Only thing I could remember different is that had started uploading photos to iCloud recently but this is switched off.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

Check your ipv4 and 6 settings in Networking. I vaguely remember some issue with Macs about this...
