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.
Cheers,
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)

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
