Apple TV and slow internet speeds?

I live in Ireland and unlike the US, we have quite slow internet with a national max of about 7mb (which is what I have)
How would the streaming work with this kind of network?

Are those speeds, related to the stated internet speeds, or the download speeds? The usual download speed is around 600kbs for me, hit 1.3mps once but haven't got close since then.
I have a fixed 1Mbps connection in UK, and I strongly suspect that for rentals, the new device will do what the old one did - in other words it will not let you play until enough has downloaded to theoretically allow you to watch the movie completely as the tail end of the film downloads in the background.
I hope that the new device will save the rental stream to the device's internal solid state memory (8GB) to allow you to pause/rewind/restart/rewatch etc during the playback period WITHOUT having to redownload.
If on the other hand it stores nothing, buffers a small amount, and relies on a fairly nippy internet connection to stream live, you, I and many others without high speed connections will be stuffed for rentals.
Anything in your iTunes library however that's compatible will be limited for playback by your home network speeds not the internet.

  • Can Apple Remote Desktop Slow Internet Speed?

    After I used ARD to open a program on 36 stations in our computer lab these workstations have been really slow on the internet.  We are using Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and ARD 3.4.  We are using Ethernet connections, and have Airport turned off.

    TeenTitan,
    Thanks for the post. I was loading a learning software called KeySills from Sunburst. It is a huge program that loads into workstation memory from our server. All Internet is sluggish since we tried to open this app on 36 network stations at once...but more noticeable on more demanding websites that load interactive graphics or video etc. We used to be able to load the program on all 36 workstations, but now if we load it on more than a couple, it is unbearably slow to load. Once loaded it's fine.  Other workstations load the program in 20 secs whereas the 36 take 50+ seconds to load it (and even longer as more load at once). I've repaired permissions and reset cache to no avail. I'm considering creating a snow leopard station from scratch, then if it loads in 20 secs, I'll reimage the 36 stations.
    It's not the network cuz I plugged one of my 20 sec loaders into port where slow ones were and it still loads in 20 secs. Also, slow ones moved to spot where 20 second loaders were and still takes 59+ seconds.
    It'd really be nice if I didn't have to reimage 36 stations ;)
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

  • Slow internet speeds and dropping connection

    hello, I am making this post on behalf of my dad, for a good few months (5-6 maybe even longer) we have been experiencing slow internet speeds and a dropping connection when ever the phone is picked up. when an incoming call is answered some or all devices connected to the internet drop out for a second then come back online, the connection does not completly disapear but causes any voice chat, streaming or gaming to disconect. We have BT wireless phones (not sure what exact type) which we have had for a few years. they are connected through an ADSL filter which as far i can remember has been there for years. We have a netgear DG834GT router which has also been there for a few years. I went onto its settings and got this information, not sure if its usefull or not.

  • Slow Internet speed using ethernet cable.

    Hi
    I have a an old imac, still working and running on 10.5.8 !!
    I still use it for music and simple word processing.
    I have linked it up to the internet with a ethernet cable and the internet speed is vastly differnet to by ipad / iphone using wifi.
    I syspect that its the imac and not the router?
    Any idea what has gone wrong and why ethernet connect is not faster than wireless
    Thanks

    DOH!
    It occurs to me --finally-- why you may be seeing this slowness on a wried connection. That latest G4 iMacs retained the 10/100BASE ethernet port Apple used to put on all consumer and educational Macs. The PowerMacs and PowerBook were considered "pro" models and had 10/100/1000BASE ethernet ports--much faster.
    You may see improvement by going wireless if your iMac has USB 2.0 ports:
    NewerTech MAXPower 802.11n/g/b High-Performance Wireles USB Adapter w/bonus ext cradle. For Mac & PC
    It will give wireless "n" speeds if used in a USB 2.0 port--that's the protocol your other devices are probably using.
    To see if you have USB 2.0 ports, hold OPTION and, while hlding it, click the Apple menu. In 10.5, the first entry should change to "System Profiler." Launch it.
    In the opening screen:
    find the code in the second line that I've indicated with the red arrow; for a G4 iMac the line will be "PowerMacx,x"--please post your code and your screen size (15, 17, or 20). From that we can find out if you have USB 2, making the wireless option viable.

  • Slow Internet Speed C50-30

    I recently purchased a Lenovo C50-30 Desktop and my internet speed is very slow. I have my old computer next to it and it runs just fine on the internet (Using wireless connection). Any ideas on how to increase the internet speed for the Lenovo? Thanks

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
    Are you connected to Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi? If so, disconnect the Ethernet cable or adapter and test.
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Slow internet speed -upgraded it to highest speed

    I have had FiOS internet for about four years and never questioned the speed 10/2, but I had it plugged into the router.  On 3/4, I upgraded to TV FiOS/internet and phone bundle.  I do not have my computer where the router is located now (downstairs) and I had asked them to move it upstairs, but left before they had done it.  When I checked the speed (I guess the wireless speed since it is not plugged in to the router), it was 15.66/10 mbps.  I ordered the 35/35 mbps speed bundle.  I called Verizon and asked them about it and she checked the speed and said that it was "pretty good" considering it is wireless.  What?  I am not getting what I am paying for.  Do I need a DSL filter on all the phone lines?  Do I need a new router (I still have the old one)?  I have read on the community here that everyone has called several times to get an answer to the slow internet speed problem. Does anyone have the 35/35 mbps speed plan and have it work at this speed? I might as well go down to the 15 or 25 plan if that speed is all I am every going to get......But maybe if I go down to 25 plan, I'll get 10 or 15...... I will continue to try and work with Verizon to get this solved.   .Thanks for any help.

  • Slow internet speed - terrible service

    For the last 5 weeks I have been plagued with very slow internet speed. I have spent at least 4 hours on the phone with verizon techs. They always say that they will call back and never do. This is absolutely the worst service imaginable.

    Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up.  It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace)  might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
    For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
    news.giganews.com
        traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

    Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
    #3 If you don't know how to get that info:

  • Slow internet speed, being used by unknown websites

    Hello all,
    For about a month i have been experiencing slower internet speeds than usual. Contacted the isp and went through all the processes and there was not a problem at their end. I was advised to go to network utility and check how many processes there were, found out that there was too many to count.
    It seems i have internet processes coming from my macbook ip address from uknown sources such as ookla.com etc. Now i have downloaded spyware programs for mac which have failed to find any viruses or spyware at all.
    Now i know the problem is coming from my macbook as the unwanted guests our appearing under the macbook ip address, my router is receiving the right speed so it can't be the isp?
    Right now i am just wondering what to do to stop these processes using up my internet connection and potentially turning my router into a server.
    Any help would be grateful.
    Mark Lees

    Yeah i have little snitch but it appears to not spot these websites, i can send you a screenie of the netstat screen
    Then that would imply the only connections going out from your mac are from legitimate applications.
    lots of things will engage outbound connections.
    safari
    firefox
    itunes
    spotify
    and sites that you visit that have embedded video often host the video on other servers. So you would be suprised at how many socket connections you have at anyone time.
    If you have little snitch look at the monitor window and it will show all the recent connections.
    You could reset little snitch to default rules and then you will be prompted to allow or deny each new connection.

  • Can the MacBook Pro use 10GBASE-T ethernet cables and achieve internet speeds of up to 10 gigabytes a second?

    I was wondering if I could use a Cat6 cable with my macBook pro and achieve internet speeds up to 10 gigabytes a second without using a Thunderbolt to 10GBASE-T ethernet adapter.

    The 10GBASE-T standard allows for max 10Gbit/s. Gigabits, not gigabytes.

  • Absurdly slow internet speeds and often unable to ...

    I'm used to getting around 13 Mbps Internet speeds from BT.
    In the last few days, although the speed tests show similar results (assuming I can actually get online to test them), Internet browsing has become painfully slow, with many pages simply not loading at all.
    I've called BT, and been through some tests with them, and they assure me that everything is fine, and that my Internet speeds are as high as ever.
    I've also done some hunting around on google, and tried using open DNS settings, but to no avail. It's especially hard to upload data, and it's almost impossible to send email.
    Occasionally, if I turn on my Mac after a longish break, I can get online easily, and send e-mail for a few minutes, then the problem returns.
    BT insist that there's nothing wrong with the line, but the fact that the problem affects both my Mac and my iPad suggests that the problem is not with my computer.
    Indeed, I'm now in the local pub, and everything is working just fine.
    I've been through all the usual things - checking location of Homehub (even though it was absolutely fine for 18 months in its current location), changed the ADSL micro-filter, changed the wireless channel, etc, and to no avail.
    What else can anyone suggest?
    Thank you.

    So, the first time I did this speed-test was on my return home, when everything was working fine again.

  • Slow internet speed because of RWIN and MTU

    I've got a problem with cable modem "DHCP" speed the default internet settings for arch are very slow for me on a 2mb connection, I get 1700kbps max where as on other distros and windows i'm getting 1960+kbps the issue is RWIN size and MTU size.
    With the default settings my RWIN is "128960" when it should be set to "51100" for my speed, also MTU is 576 which is very low (dialup MTU speed I think) for a cable modem which should be "1500".
    I've tried setting my RWIN size in /etc/sysctl.conf like this in arch:
    # Tweaks for faster broadband...
    net.core.rmem_default = 51100
    net.core.rmem_max = 51100
    net.core.wmem_default = 51100
    net.core.wmem_max = 51100
    net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 51100 51100 51100
    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 51100 51100 51100
    net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 51100 51100 51100
    net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
    net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
    net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
    net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
    net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
    net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
    net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0
    net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
    With extra tweaks for window scaling 0, timestamps 0 etc.. and done "sudo sysctrl -p" to set it.
    But after retesting my settings at dslreports.com I get a very low RWIN like "9654" for some reason, does anyone know how to permanently set it to "51100" ?
    I also have a problem with settings MTU I done "sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500" that works fine but gets reset on reboot, I've looked though this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82093 and it needs to be set in "/etc/network/interfaces" but I have no such directory.
    So anyone know how to Permanently RWIN MTU for a DHCP network in arch?
    EDIT: I've managed to set MTU to 1500 on boot now speeds are up to 1958kbps, now just wondering about RWIN

    You probably want tcp_window_scaling = 1, not 0.
    Window scaling is used to let you have a bigger window size. The only reason to turn it off is if you are behind a router that distorts your TCP packets and causes connection issues. There is such a router between my school and the internet, and so I have my network script shut off tcp_window_scaling when connecting to the wireless at school. But I keep it on elsewhere.
    Try turning it on and giving it a go.

  • Slow internet speeds and constant disconnections

    Since getting BT broadband my router has been constantly loosing connection and at points restarting itself. I could live with that due to the nice speed i was getting. If anyone could please help me i would appreciate it very much.

    There are noticeable speed issues however you noise margin is high at 22.4 normal default is 6db when reduced to that level your connection speed would increase and like wise your download speed you could contact the forum mods and ask them to reset your noise margin this is a link to them

  • Slow Internet Speed after Leopard

    I'm having a funny problem since the installation of Leopard and that is very slow internet browsing speed. But its not as simple as it sounds. I have another Windows PC on the same network; when its on mac internet speed is slow, when Windows PC is off the Mac internet speed if fast and normal.
    I'm not alone in this problem. I read similar problems on Apple Gazette after installing Leopard. Any suggestions?

    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6039643#6039643
    Had to search for it. I'm having the same problem as you see by my post in this forum. I hope this works for me. I also happen to be in South Carolina. Small world.

  • Slow internet speed with OSX Yosemite

    I updated to OSX Yosemite & now my internet speed is painfully slow on my Mac book Pro 15 Retina.  It work fine (Great), prior to the update.  Is there a known problem and fix for this?

    Yosemite created two problems for me and the problems happened immediately, I never had any internet connection problems with Mavericks OSX.
    Problem 1) My internet speed went from 85MPS to 35MPS. This happened on both of my MacBook Pro Laptops with Yosemite. Using the same router with a non-Yosemite computer yields 85MPS or greater speeds.
    Problem 2) WiFI connection looks normal but internet connections don't work. Pinging APPLE.com though the terminal yields the same result, No Response. I used the ping command to rule out a Safari problem. Normally one of my laptops will not go online at all.    *** To work around problem 2,  I am using Two Routers. If one doesn't connect or drops, I simply use the other one. Both Yosemite MacBooks drop my internet connections constantly, regardless of which router I use, but I have notice that the faster Comcast router drops more frequently. Sometimes when I connect to the COMCAST router I cannot get any internet data (Safari or Ping). This is very repeatable and is intermittent.
    Apple please advise me what to do!!!!    I use VPN's and work through the internet. This is affecting my job performance.
    Thanks
