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)

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 ;-)

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

Hello Martin,
Your question:
""network""icon 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.
Likely to be an issue with your Network setup, or your Modem/
Router, or your ISP server might 'be down' (not available) at the
time.
Check your Network Configuration settings in System Preferences >
Network - that you have all the correct settings in & your ISP's
DNS numbers.
Restart your Modem/Router.
How are you connecting to the internet,wire or wireless
connection? I imagine wireless.
What Modem/Router?
Cheers,
Ronni

Unfortunately it didn't make a difference .Activity window told

One other thing ,,, don't know if it makes a difference:since a

Apple cleaned the cache and resetted safari....we can't do

NAB cleaned cache and told me they can't do more
BBsat (broadbandnet) made a speedtest 47KB/sec and said this
is normal...hmmm
I only know I have almost no ideas left:I experienced the
same problems with the e-mac from the workshop and with my i-
mac 10.4.11......2GHz
and the activitywwindow told me.... timed out
Does this mean that my downloadspeed is too slow?
Can this be improved with another router??
If another router makes the difference... what is the
difference between the 2? Maybe comparing a $500 bomb with a
$10000 car
I'm happy to hear from anyone
Thanks Martin

Just an idea
In your system preferences Click on Network
In the TCP/IP section look for Configure IPv6
Click on Configure IPv6 so a window appears ..
The window probably shows Configure IPv6
Automatically ! ?
If so click on the Automatically and drag down to the OFF
which will appear after clicking
This should make IPv6 off .
Click OK
Then click Apply Now located at the bottom of the Network
window
Now try your banking problem
