Slow AppleTV or bad internet service provider???

Hi! Since April I'm having issues with the quality and speed of my internet service at home, it's not a big deal with my iPhone, iPad or even my Mac, but when it comes to using my 3rd generation AppleTV it is when I really notice it. Every time I stream something it is very choppy, pausing for a few seconds every now and then. I'm supposed to get up to 50Mbps, but the most I get when I do a speed test is about 16Mbps, that would be more than enough, but it seems to be a very unstable connection.
I have called many times to my provider to complain and they always give excuses and say that it is going to be fixed.  This Saturday I called again, we did several tests using ethernet on my Mac, some tests like with Speak Easy gave us 6.5 Mbps download and .08 Mbps upload, but then some other sites that he told me to test, gave us 49.1 Mbps and 48.7 Mbps uploads. After being with technical support for 1 hour and 52 minutes he concluded that the problem is Apple, according to him, Apple devices, specially AppleTV have no good wi-fi and tend to have compatibility issues with their service! I went completely mad with his response, so he offered to send my complaint to his supervisor. Yesterday I got a CAT5e ethernet cable and connected my AppleTV, but got no visible changes to the choppy stream.
Can it really be my AppleTV? It is really strange that on my Mac I do get 49.1 Mbps on a wired connection and the stream on my AppleTV with a wired connection is slow and choppy. Thanks.

Speedtest.net seems to be the most reliable source, did you use that to check your speed?
Did you check for interference on the network? If not istumbler.net will verify that for you.
Another common issue is DNS, it should be set to use your ISPs (Settings - network - configure DNS - should be set to automatic)
I would continue to complain to your ISP as you seem to be not getting what you're paying for and they could be throttling the connection further for ATV traffic.

  • Virtual server can't attach internet service provider in physical computer

    Hai all,
    i'm new in here, i'm sory if my english is bad.
    i have some question about virtual machine in hyper-v.
    i have one machine installed windows server 2012 with 2 NIC. When i going to connect internet service provider to ether 1 in physical network it's success, but when i'm going to virtual server and want to attach internet service provider in physical network
    to virtual network it's fail..
    please help me, 
    Regards

    Hi Endra,
    I am assuming that you want the VM can access internet after hyper-v server connects to ISP .
    Please try to follow these setps below :
    1. create an internal virtual switch and connect the VM to it
    2. open network and sharing center  configure an IP for the new internal Vswitch
    3. configure VM's IP (it should be in same subnet with the IP of new Vswitch )
    4. configure the VM's gateway same as the IP of new internal Vswitch (after this the vm can ping the gateway , if it can not please try to check if the integration service was installed)
    5. find the internet connection of hyper-v server , share it with the new Vswitch.
    Accessing internet again from the VM.
    Hope this helps
    Best Regards

  • I cannot receive email properly now. When I open mail, it says that is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, it gives me my newest ones. But this takes a long time. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right setting

    I cannot receive email properly on either my IPad or my IPhone. I have had them for over a year and they have always worked fine. Until three days ago, when they both started acting up. On the IPad, when I open mail, it says it is downloading about 1,700 emails. At the very end, which takes quite a while to get to, I finally get the most recent ones. The IPad is sending emails just fine.
    On my IPhone, when I open mail, it says it is downloading 100 emails, but it doesn't do that. And it gives me no new emails at all. The IPhone is sending email just fine.
    I have already deleted the email accounts on both devices and reinstalled them. I've contacted the Internet service provider and verified all the right settings. The Outlook email on my desktop is working perfectly.

    WMV is a heavily-compressed format/CODEC, and the processing time will depend on several factors:
    Your CPU, which is not that powerful in your case
    Your I/O sub-system, which is likely a single HDD on your laptop
    The source footage. What is your source footage?
    Any Effects added to that footage. Do you have any Effects?
    Each of those will have an impact on the time required.
    The trial has only one main limitation - the watermark. Now, there are some components, that have to be activated, but are not with the trial, but they would be evident with Import of your source footage, if it's an issue.
    Good luck,

  • How do I get rid of an internet service provider (Cisco) that I never wanted but Cisco keeps me from getting online with my own internet service provider?

    I have tried to get rid of an internet service provider named "Cisco" that keeps blocking me from getting on the internet. I have no idea how "Cisco" is doing this. I have only one internet service provider that is Not "Cisco" . "Cisco" keeps coming up on the screen to sign in with a password which of course I do not know and do not want. I went into Safari preference to change the settings and found 2 that I do not want.  I thought I had gotten rid of this "link sys" but keeps returning  and shows that it is locked. How do I get rid of these in my Safari preferences without a password to them. I only want the one internet service provider that I have to be there and not the other two. Thank you so much.

    That is the login into the router itself. Most routers, in order to set them up the first time or after a reset or power fail, have this login procedure. You connect to the router login and configure the settings for your use.
    Is this a new router or has it been recently reset in some way? As was written above if the router was provided by your isp then contact them for the setup procedures.
    If the router is yours (or someone else's in your household) you need to look at the manual that came with it or go to manufactures website for instructions on how to set it up.

  • E-Recruitment Third Party Internet Service provider

    Hi Experts
    I am implementing e-Recruitment 3.0 at one of client site. Here we are looking out for integration with the third party internet service provider i.e. job sites. Wherein we will able to surf and search external job  site for the suitable resume based on the requirement. These requiremnts are defined in e-Recruitment thru Requisition.
    Based on the requisition, we will be search the resume and upload the same into e-Recruitment.
    In normal e-Recruitment their is no node for integration with the external service provider.
    I am not getting the proper trigger to reach the integration part.
    Has anybody done this...?? If yes how did you do it..??
    Regards,
    Anand

    hello anand,
    let us take this step by steb ok :
    1. in e-rec 3 there is no functionality for integration with 3rd party service provider.
    2. there is a new role for teh above in ERP2005/ecc6...but I think this role is more for a headhunter to supply resumes of candidates online to your organisation
    3. coming to your requirement, if you have enterprise portal I suggest that :
    a. get the external service provider's link on to ure portal content (an MOU kinda doc needs to be signed between the 2 parties)
    b. then the requestor can search cv's based on the requirement (this still does not solve the issue of integration between your requirements-in-requisition and the content of the service provider)here u have to remember that trex is solely for your e-rec instance only and and cannot be used to ''search'' a service providers content unless the content is already in your e-rec system, which can be achieved by point-c below.
    c.in e-rec 3, the alternative I have found was modifying the external candidate bsp page to remove all links except the part where ther profile is uploaded, and creating a unique identifier for all such headhunters to identify the resumes from each of them respectively, and allow access to the custom page thru internet. This worked fine for me,... but a lot still depends on ure client's requirements.
    hope the above works for you,.. in any case let me know how u solved the situation
    ciao

  • HT204053 I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. I have created a new Apple I.D. and password but when I try to access or open my iPad 2 I am asked for the password for my previous email address.

    I have iPad 2 and recently changed my Internet Service Provider and email address. When I switch on the iPad I am asked for my password for
    my previous providerwhich when entered is not acceptable. I am told to create a new passord but this only changes the password for my current
    address. I am now unable to access iPad and I need to know how to circumvent this.

    Roger, thank you.  I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address.  Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
    So now what do I do?  Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
    And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for.

    Dear AnneS,
    I don't need to go to any other "private" forum to request what is my right to challenge my outrageous bill.
    I had asked Verizon to remove their equipment from my home because I am closing this account.
    Fortunately I am now working with consumer protection support to challenge the incredibly high bill Verizon is still attempting to collect from me.

  • Bad Customer Services provided by HP

    Compaq 610
    I purchased my laptop a years ago. I am finding the issues with my Laptops. Some times I found that my lap is overheated issues. I found that the my laps fan is not working. I called hp and asked them what to do? a week ago. And they provided the solution that they will send a person to the home or either I have to take Laptop to the service center.I found that they have to ask for the spare parts in hp. Later they have to fix the problems. But hp center are still not been able to get the quotation from the centers. I am always trying to remind them but they are still not been able to get the Quotation. I am wondering that what will happen if the things goes wrong. I will feel handicapped without my laptop.
    I found that services providing by the Service Centers are not only poor but they would take the customers as a granted. I am also having the past bad experiences by service centers like I had given my Laptop for removing the dust & for General servicing.In that process they have taken the long time of 2-3 days. Still when I get my lapy back & I opened the Disc-Reader I found that dust is still there. When I saw them they replied back with the best Answer that things are cleaned from over the parts not outside the parts . I am still in same situation where I am not getting services by the people over there.
    This question was solved.

  • Using multiple SMTP servers but a single Internet Service Provider(ISP)

    Hello Sir,
    I am working on an Enterprise Java Bean Application running on J2EE application server and use JavaMail API to send Emails throu' the application....
    In the J2EE Deploytool the SMTP server is set to "smtp.roltanet.com" provided by ISP....and by connecting to Roltanet we are able to send emails successfully...
    But the problem is.. if i set the SMTP server other than Roltanet,then i get the following error....
    "The exception is javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;
    nested exception is:
    javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses;nested exception is:
    javax.mail.SendFailedException: 553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed to
    be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)"
    But,I think there is a way in which,even though u are connected to say,Roltanet and use say, VSNL's SMTP server and also have an account on VSNL then, by supplying the VSNL's user id and password ...
    VSNL's SMTP will allow to send emails...even though it is connected to the internet throu Roltanet....
    Is there really a way through it can be done...throu Code or something....
    Can any body help me out with the issue...any suggestion or code samples will suffice....
    Thanks
    Sam

    Java Mail does not provide SMTP functionality. As a result you have to specify a STMP server to use to send emails.
    If you are insterested in obtaining a commercial licese for using an email software module we developed, please contact me. The highlights are:
    - Can send email without specifying a STMP server (SMTP)
    - automatic search for destination STMP server for a given name (for example, yahoo.com)
    - Can construct/read emails in Java object and XML format (POP3, XML)
    - email encoding algorithm is availalbe (for example, Base64, Quoted-Printable, etc.)
    - can talk to news groups and fetch news message (NNTP)

  • Gateway Status: Internet Service Provider always says CONNECTING

    I have a GT784WNV gateway. In the router settings under the status tab ISP always says CONNECTING and never switches to CONNECTED. Every so often it will switch to connected for about a half second then switch back. Broadband says connected. I can browse the internet but I believe it is causing issues with low latency services like online gaming. If there is a way to fix this please help.

  • How do I get Firefox to open when I dial up to connect to the internet, instead of internet explorer for the internet service provider?

    I have a dial up connection for the internet through Netzero.com, and when I click on it to dial up to the internet, it brings up the Netzero home page on Internet Explorer. I've changed my default home page from Internet Explorer, to Firefox, but when the internet is connected, Internet Explorer is the one that brings up the Netzero home page, not Firefox, so I have to click on the icon for Firefox, and then it opens, with Netzero home page on it, so I have to go through 2 different processes to get to use Firefox. I downloaded Firefox because it's suppose to be faster that Internet Explorer, especially since Internet Explorer keeps not responding when I'm in the middle of doing something. So I thought I'd try Firefox, but it doesn't seem to be faster than Internet Explorer, since the ISP that I have has a web accelerator, but it doesn't work on Firefox for some reason, I can see on a meter on my desktop when it's accelerating, and Firefox doesn't accelerate ever, if I change over to Internet Explorer, I can see the meter accelerating the web page. Hope you can help me with this problem, as I like Firefox. Thank you very much.

    Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
