Satellite Internet providers

Depending on how much bandwidth they use, dropping the internet and adding more data to their cellular plan and using that might be better. I have a friend that does that. They live just outside of city limits, satellite internet was costly and slow and would sometimes go out. All they do is mostly browse the web and email, and sometimes Pandora when company is over, streaming it to a wireless speaker in their home. So they do the hotspot with their provider (AT&T) which at the time doubled their data at no extra cost through some promotion and they get roll over data. So what used to be a 10 GB plan turned into a 20 GB plan and they get data roll over on top of that. They do not do any heavy data intensive stuff, but for what they were paying through satellite internet, they took some of that and applied it to their cellular data plan...

We were just discussing this in another recent post - although there question was a bit different as it included a VoIP element:http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1081083-would-you-consider-satellite-internet-for-business-int...
At the end of the day Satellite is pretty much a last resortas you literally are sending traffic to space and back to get out to the internet (think 750ms+ latency)and there usually is something better out there. You'll always be able tofind some enterprise class, SLA'd options available (Enterprise LTE, T1/DDM, maybe Fiber), it's the cheap DSL and COAX that is usually tough to get once you get out there a ways - although it does sounds like you have a cable option now so that raises some questions.We are a telecom master agency partnered with hundreds of ISP's all over the world. We do a lot in rural areas...

Satellite internet broadband with my powermac g4 Ti

Does anyone know anything about connecting to the internet with wireless satellite broadband? I don't even know if I'm using the right terms. Any suggestions for satellite service providers for Mac? I would like it to be a wireless hookup so I can use my laptop anywhere I choose.

Claire, There are several different Internet Service Providers out there and they vary from the old Dial Up it uses your built in modem in your machine.
Next, there is DSL this also uses your phone line that plugs into a DSL Modem which in turn connects to your machine, via an ethernet cable. Next we have Cable, most of these are actually Satelite Services, Like Roadrunner, Comcast, and Direct TV.
All of these sevices furnish you with a Modem that comes from there cable, and in turn you run an ethernet cable from that modem to your machine for service.
Some of these providers offer what is called a Wireless Modem Router (At additional cost to you), this will enable you to have a wireless connection, if your paricular computer has a wireless or Airport, or Airport Extreme Card installed.
Almost all of the services available will furnish there Modem with there service and from there any other hardware and the type of sevice you want will be additional cost to you in the way of Routers. You can buy this equipment from any computer store. from $30.00 up to $ 2 or 3 hundred.
All also give you step by step instructions.

Airport with satellite internet

I have satellite internet and am trying to set up an airport extreme. My modem is OK via eithernet. My Airport seems to be creating a wireless network but with no internet access. Any ideas?

Many satellite providers use private IP addresses.. 10.x.x.x
If you have the airport setup to default also using 10.0.1.x for LAN it simply will not work.
You will need to move the IP of the AE to a different range..
The AE should be in router mode, ie DHCP and NAT.
Then go to network options and change its IP to 192.168.

I changed internet providers and email accounts. I have managed to set up a new Apple ID but my I-phone is not recognizing it.

I recently changed internet providers and thus had to set up a new email account. I managed to change my Apple ID but my I-phone 4S is not recognizing it. It still brings up the old user ID. I am also unable to retrieve Windows Mail (also wants old info) I synced my phone. What else can I do?

If I change internet providers, how do I save mail and change settings?

I am going to have a representative from a different broadband service come over tomorrow and see if my house is within the area served by her company (Clearwire). If it is I plan to drop my satellite service and go with this, assuming it is faster. In case I do this, I realize there are a few things I need to know first that I hope someone here can help me with.
1. If I go with the new service provider, my email address will change. Does this mean that what is in my current mailbox (I have several folders with emails I have saved) will no longer be accessible? How do I backup what is in all the folders now in a way that I will be able to get into it with a different provider? (I have an external hard drive, but it is usb so cloning is not a possibility.)
2. If the new service works, I think I will have to make changes like DNS numbers and such. Hate to admit this, but I do not remember where to find and change these things.
3. What else might I be forgetting to think of that I need to know?
Thanks very much in advance for all advice and suggestions.

Do not change the settings for the existing account.
You should create a new account in Mail for the email account provided by Clearwire.
Before deleting the email account in Mail provided by your Satellite internet provider, create an "On My Mac" location mailbox - one for the account's Inbox mailbox and one for the account's Sent mailbox. Transfer messages from the Satellite account's Inbox and Sent mailbox to the user created "On My Mac" mailboxes. When completed, delete the Satellite provider's email account.
You shouldn't have to change anything with the new provider. I assume Clearwire provides an Ethernet modem and sends an installer to set up the equipment, etc.?

Satellite internet users cannot connect to Flash based online multiplayer games

Hello,
I have found that Satellite internet users are unable to
connect to the game Club Penguin because of the recent security
fixes that have been added to the flash player over the last 6
months or so. Club Penguin used to require at least Flash Player 7
to run, at this time satellite users could connect.
They recently upgraded their system to require Flash player 9
or higher, since this update no satellite users can connect if they
have the newest versions of Flash. If they revert back to the Flash
Player 9r47 they can then connect to the game. Of coarse this opens
the computer up to the exploits that have been fixed.
Anyone have any idea of how to notify Adobe of this issue? Or
possibly another way to make it work with the newest versions of
Flash Player?

Does this problem with your Internet satellite happen only with this game? You might want to contact your Internet provider as I'm sure they will be able to work with Adobe in fixing the problem.

Has anyone else a large amount of bandwidth being used when running the new iOS 7? I have satellite internet with a fixed gigabyte allowance a month.

I am seeing bandwidth spikes when using the new iOS 7. I have satellite internet so I have a monthly gigabyte allowance. When the ipad is in sleep mode or just doing casual browsing it is fine. But for example, last night I put the ipad in airplane mode and this morning when I took it out and it reconnected to my router it immediately sucked up ~300mbs of bandwidth. I know for the majority of people this no big deal but when you are on a fixed amount a month this becomes costly! Is there anyone else noticing this, and what appears to be happening? I never had this problem with ios6.
Thanks!

What happens when you try?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IChat & Direcway Satellite Internet?

Hey all.. My sister (unfortunately) has satellite internet by way of Direcway. We've had very limited success with video & audio connectivity. The system has pretty serious latency between request and result, and I'm wondering if perhaps this would cause the chat requests to fail (we both get the obligatory "did not respond" message). I've had her open up the ports as suggested in a number of posts here, we've knocked our bandwidth limits to their lowest settings as well but to no avail. I have no problem connecting with others from my machines, and I'm on a full T1.
Has anyone used, with success, iChat AV's audio & video features with satellite internet?
thanks in advance,

Hi Greg,
I would move in the Other direction.
Set the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed to match her max download.
Set iChat > Preferences > Video section Banwidth Limit to none.
Unfortunately Satelite for this is pants.
Things to try involve trying to beat the latency between starting a chat and full speed of the uplink.
Try a iTune Store sample as a download to fool the system into thinking it is going to run at full tilt.
Also try sending a file from her end first to you to get the uplink speed as high as it cn be before the chat starts.
Or updating her web pages if she has any.

Changing internet providers and need to change my address. Would like to use 3 apple addresses. How do I do this

I'm unfamiliear with the proper terms, but I need to change internet providers and don't want to use the new provider's address. I understand that I can use an Apple address for 3 addresses. Help!

Heard it in conversations. I'm tryinng to set up e-mail communications for my husband to his computer and 2 for myself (computer and phone) and also would like to use one that's set aside for e-mail ordering, etc. so if my address is sold I won't get so much junk on my regular e-mail.

Clean Access and satellite internet

We have NAC 4.1.6 enabled for our IPSec VPN client users, and have at least one user coming in from a HughesNet satellite Internet connection. When he connects via HughesNet, the VPN connection works fine but the NAC agent will not run and check his machine. However, when he uses any other type of Internet connection (including a Verizon aircard), NAC works properly.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a fix or workaround? He's running the 4.1.6 Windows agent. Thanks.

Try connecting the console directly to the router which is connected to the internet and check if it works. If it works then you will only have to change the MTU size on the ASA. Another option will be to have the console connect directly to the internet bypassing the CCA.

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices.

I have just changed internet providers from BT to Virgin, and now my iTunes doesn't show any of my airport express devices. I assume that I have to reconfigure them to the the new wireless but how do I do this frmo my PC? Thanks

I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on each of your AirPort Express base stations. Once completed, you can use the following Apple Support article to configure each base station for streaming.

ITunes and Satellite Internet daily limit don't mix!! Help....

I have satellite internet which has a daily download cap. I can download unlimited mbps from 2AM to 7AM. ITunes music/videos use up a lot of mbps when I buy music. I am looking for a program that I can use that will manage the itunes music downloads during 2am-7am only so that I can still buy music, but don't have to go over my limit. Does anyone know of such a program?? Or any other ideas I could try that would help me to stay within my limits?

Set your iTunes to not "automatically download" your purchases. Then you can engage the downloads during a time that costs less.
Ultimately, it may not be as straight forward, but if you do engage a download, and it's poor timing, you can pause it and resume when ready. This might be annoying if you purchase several items and EACH has to be paused, but it will accomplish what you wish.
Another alternative is this:
Use playlists and "Gift" yourself.
I have done this in the past to accomplish a single-click-buy for multiple random items I want to get in one step.
1) Create a playlist from iTunes store items: Just drag items to a created playlist.
2) GIFT the playlist to yourself.
3) Redeem the playlist of items when downloading is cheap.
I hope something here helps.

IChatAV3 and Satellite Internet

Since I live in the swamps and Bellsouth only has dialup, I have subscribe to WildBlue Satellite Internet. My downlink is 1Mbps and uplink is 200Kbps. The downlink works pretty good but my problem is with the uplink. Various testing indicators say I am really doing about 168 Kbps uplink. And that is about what I really should expect.
The problem is, iChat sees the uplink as less than 50Kbps and therefore you know what that means. I have been through the FAQs and tried to ensure the speeds, ports, firewalls, setups, etc. I have my streaming speed set to my downlink of 1Mbps. The WildBlue technicians tell me that satellite delays is what the problem could be. And also that it is an iChat software problem.
Help!!

Hi LA Sculler,
This is normally down to the latency of the modem.
They are often set so that the data rate is slower when the use is low and it speeds up as you put through or request more data.
iChat requires that the speed is there from the moment you start up iChat as it takes a reading from the Quicktime setting.
It is often difficult if not impossible to fool the modem (such as listening a sample of a iTunes store file) to get the modem to tell iChat that the connection speed is fast enough.
