Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
Hi ronni I can go everywhere on the internet and have connection,I'm connected with a Linkstar S2 modem to a satellite dish with broadbandnet. Is the downloadspeed of 46 KB/sec normal slow or very slow? thanks Martin On 01/10/2008, at 1:58 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hello Martin, Your question: networkicon coming up with this server is not available...what does this mean It means you are not 'finding' your ISP's Server therefore not connecting to the Internet.

Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
Hi Martin, Well, Broadbandnet say their Satellite always on' Broadband Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The basic connection speed is 512 kbps download 64 Kbs upload. As there are 8Kb (kilobits) in every KB (kilobyte) ... and you are saying you are downloading at 46KBps (kilobytes), my calculation by multiplying your 46KB (kilobyte) by 8 = 368 Kbps transfer rate. Which seems to indicate it is slower than what Broadbandnet are saying it should be? If my calculations are wrong, I stand corrected ;-) Cheers, Ronni On 01/10/2008, at 5:01 PM, Martin Sulkowski wrote: Hi ronni I can go everywhere on the internet and have connection,I'm connected with a Linkstar S2 modem to a satellite dish with broadbandnet.

Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
sorry your calculation has a small mistake, in serial connection (which broadband is) there are a start bit - 8 data bits - a stop bit which are 10 bits per data byte, thus thus kbp/s divided by 10 gives KBp/s, additionally if there are server delays and many other things (noise) sitting on the line, then the data rate can drop significantly..(especially in wireless) cheers James On 01/10/2008, at 19:00, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Martin, Well, Broadbandnet say their Satellite always on' Broadband Internet access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Re: banking problems answer to Ronni
Thanks for this James, As I said in my previous email, If my calculations are wrong, I stand corrected ;-) I do understand the additional things that can slow the data rate down significantly, I notice changes in my data rate on my Wireless Network.

Is the downloadspeed of 46 KB/sec normal slow or very slow? thanks Martin Martin I get best download speed of around 156KB/sec on a 1.5Mhz ADSL. My ADSl speed tests at 1.5 Mhz . Using that as a reference your 46KB would be equivalent to an ADSL circuit of around 300 Khz . I do not know what your ISP is supposed to be supplying you , but some people I know have around that speed as normal . It certainly is a speed that should cause you no problems with mail or browsing .
