In the Boonies internet

No DSL and satellite. seems to have a lot of problems, so we're on Alltel internet, a tethered Razr used to dial in.
Alltel (I mean...now Verison, so the store looks now) re-installed my softwear on the Razr and I have EV back (PRL is 300xx). Speeds are not great, still slow and I have 5 bars. Today:

I drove to the tower and tried testing also..the ping was 230ms, Down-230Mb/s, up: .05Mb/s. Sooooo, that is not good either.
I get frequent disconnects also (maybe because it's a Sunday mid day?)
I'd try the USB modem on my mac if it ended up being faster, but don't know if they work on an imac/ macbook and how to set up the internet settings.
If anyone has set this up on a mac and changed from a phone, I'd like to know if it worked well.

The USB modem should work as well with a MacBook as any other Mac. You would need a dial up account with a dial up internet service provider such as Earthlink or such (Google dial up internet). They usually have a local number or an 800 number to link to their network. Dial up will never be faster than 56Kbps.
They usually provide easy to follow directions for configuring your computer and the modem to use their service.

  • How do I only use the wifi internet because I don't want to use my mobile data because I don't have Internet on my price plan?

    How do I only use the wifi internet because I don't want to use my mobile data because I don't have Internet on my price plan and its costing me money?

    Well, if you are running iOS 6.0 or later.
    The option supposed to be in Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Data---Off & Enable 3G---Off
    I think you'd better check the settings in Privacy>Location Services.
    Some items in it need Cellular data like"setting time zone" and "Find my iPhone'.

  • My mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    my mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    192 is local address within your network.
    Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
    You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
    Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.

  • When creating PDF I get message "This file was saved to the Temporary Internet  Files Folder"

    about 80% of the time when I am creating a PDF Document using the Print to Adobe function I get the following message:
    "For your computers security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder"
    "Do you want to open this folder?"
    It doesn't matter if I say yes I want to open the folder or not I can never locate the file.
    I am using Vista Ultimate 32. for an operating system.
    I have the following programs installed too:
    Office 2007 Enterprise
    Office 2007 Project Professional
    Office Visio Professional 2007
    As a antivirus I am using Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008
    Diskeeper 2008 Pro
    Nero 8
    Quicken Home and Business 2008
    WinRar
    I am using Microsoft Internet explorer V 7.0.6001.18000
    Thank you for your help. I have looked everywhere and I'm lost.

    You can get the same results (as turning protected mode off) by:
    (presuming you have an icon for Internet Explorer on your desktop or taskbar) -- right click the icon and pick "Run as administrator"
    I've got the same problem printing to pdf (Acrobat v8; problem's only in IE7) on a Dell Optiplex/Vista Business desktop machine (though not my T61/Vista Ultimate Thinkpad laptop) and the above resolves the issue for my desktop machine. Certainly not a fix but perhaps a clue to Adobe developers, on the [slim?] chance they read these posts.

  • What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)

    What is the FASTEST Internet Browser for OSX? (2014 Edition)
    I'm a tech junkie, I love everything about technology.. especially FAST and EFFICIENT technology..
    I am currently using Google Chrome, and have nothing bad so say about it.. I like that I can "sign in" to Google Chrome pretty much anywhere (including my iPhone 5s), and instantly have access to all of my Bookmarks and Bookmark folders..
    I have seen a bunch of benchmark tests testing a bunch of available internet browsers on OSX.. however, the results seem a bit inconclusive and varying, and some that even support the notion that Safari is now FASTER than Google Chrome.. I'm not sure whether or not to believe it, and I don't really have the time/energy to conduct a series of tests on my own..
    What do you guys think? Is Google Chrome still considered the "fastest" when it comes to browsing/downloading?

    Has anyone used or have any opinions about Lightning?  I found some positive reviews around, and granted they all mention it's unrefined, they all seem to think it is the fastest.  Great as that may be, before I fork out the $2 I would like to get some more info regarding privacy and security.

  • Why is data being retained in the Firefox Internet cache when I always use Private Browsing ?

    OS Windows 7, using Firefox 33.1.1. I have set "Never remember history" so always use Private Browsing mode. I use CCleaner to delete unwanted files from my PC on each reboot, and notice that despite using private browsing mode CCleaner is deleting files every reboot from Firefox's Internet Cache. This morning, for example, there were 203 files with 2805 KB of data deleted by CC Cleaner from the Firefox Internet cache. What data is Firefox storing there from private browsing sessions?

    If you are in private browsing mode then the location for disk cache should be empty and show the same as the memory cache.
    Are you sure that this is the disk cache as there is more stored at the location where the disk cache is located?
    *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    Note that plugins may always store data on disk in their own cache.

  • Resolving the Underground Internet

    Alright, so I am currently trying to figure out how this idea may come to frution. I may update this post when I figure out how. Of course I would appreciate hints as I am quite new to name servers and web servers.
    I want to have a name server that resolves ICANN names by querying name servers that are fast for that job, and resolves OpenNIC names by querying servers that resolve OpenNIC names. 
    I also want the name server to resolve .i2p sites to a single web server that function as a web proxy to eepsites – serving eepsites based on what is given in the Host HTTP header. That way, people who use the name server should not have to change their proxy settings to access eepsites. 
    I was thinking of using the BIND name server and the nginx web server for the job, but if these are too crippled for these jobs – please spare me some time pointing it out.
    I want to be able to do this because Slashdot and others have really gotten into me about how the Internet may come to be controlled by some sort of police state – and even if it isn't, it is exciting to easiliy be able to share access to an "underground Internet."

    stqn wrote:While I think that having to mess with proxy settings in order to use I2P is a big problem for its "mass market" acceptance, isn't there a security risk in allowing transparent access to both I2P and the "normal" Internet? An eepsite could contain links that point to the normal Internet and thus give up the user's IP address...
    An eepsite could probably have for instance an iframe to a "normal Internet" web page that identifies the visitor's IP address, yes. I'm not very educated about the nature of I2P, but I understand that it is "pseudonymous," so if the pseudonym of the visitor was associated with an IP address, then the activities associated with that pseudonym could also be associated with that IP address. This should probably not be much of a concern if few activities were associated with the pseudonym.
    I haven't got very far in this quest. It could seem as if I would have to maintain my DNS server as a root name server though if I was to use BIND, because it doesn't seem to be as flexible otherwise.

  • Where the BP internet role's SU01 data stored in CRM

    Hi Guys,
                 We are creating BUSINESS PARTNERS using a abap upload program . We are using CRM 4.0 620 release.
    I have created roles for all the Business partners(All the roles are stored in but100).. one of the assigned roles is <b>INTERNET USER ROLES</b>.
    <b>When i select this role for a Business partner in using BP transaction i could see the SU01 roles assigned to the particular business partner under internet user tab screen of the BP transaction.</b>
    can some one tell me when i select the <b>INTERNET USER ROLES</b> for a BP <b>where the related SU01 data is picked from and  which is the CRM table storing this data</b> .
    Will appreaciate an early reply..
    Regards,
    Sundar<b></b>

    Hi Sundar,
    This is the integration between the BP and SU01.
    The SU01 data is not stored in any BP related tables. Only the role is stored in the table BUT000. Entire data is picked from the user tables.
    The module 'SUSR_USER_READ' is used to read the user information from the user tables. Details about this can be found in the central person module BUCP_BUPA_EVENT_ISDAT. Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Sudheer.
