Find out more about satellite internet

Yes. Satellite Internet is considered to be more secure than any other means of connectivity. This is because intercepting the beam between the dish and the satellite is far more difficult than intercepting the signal in a physical cable.

When using satellite imagine a giant beam being sent when you click send on an email up to the satellite. The email is broken down into digital pieces that only our satellite can piece back together – keeping your confidential data more secure than terrestrial Internet!

MorClick is dedicated to ensuring fair Internet access for all our satellite broadband subscribers. To ensure this, we vigilantly maintain a special Fair Use Policy to safeguard equitable balance Internet access for all subscribers.

As per your Contractual Terms & Conditions, our Fair Usage Policy covers the following:

5.14.1. The Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is our super simple way of protecting the integrity of MorClick. As with all acceptable usage policies, if you use more than a certain, predetermined “fair” amount of data (your FUP threshold) in a given timeframe, you stand to be restricted to slower speeds during peak times, in order to allow other users to access the network fairly.

5.14.2. Each line speed has its own FUP threshold.

5.14.3. The FUP is subject to change from time to time.

5.14.4. Uncapped generally mean there are no limits but you could see a reduced speed once a threshold is reached. You will find the reduced speeds that would be imposed on the Application Form

5.14.5. The uncapped price plans do not have out-of-bundle rates.

5.14.6. We reserve the right to terminate the contractual relationship with customers who regularly breach the fair usage policy for Service price plans by more than 100% on no less than 30 days prior written notice.

5.14.7. A customer cannot load a top-up bundle to restore the speed on an uncapped price plan.

All MorClick products include unlimited data, with the following thresholds to ensure Fair Use Policy (FUP):

Yes, you can! There are two options available to you to check how much data is being used on your package:

1. 1. Add the MorClick WhatsApp number to your smart device –  021-137-7638, and type ‘Hi’. Or,
   2. Log into our YahClick-powered network on https://selfcare.yahclick.com/YAHS_PRT_CC_Login

Make sure that you have your Service Number (SAN) and your Equipment Serial (ESN) ready, as you will require them to log in. When inputting your ESN password, only use the numerical part of the number. For example, if your modem serial number is “BY001312345A6”, your ESN password will be “1312345”.

To ensure fair access, soft throttling speed management is implemented on disproportionate data usage on all of our unlimited data packages:

Yes, you can! MorClick Satellite Internet Solutions has a package, MorEntertainment, that puts entertainment at your fingertips.

While this package is also suitable for traditional online services like web browsing, email and social networking, we have optimised it to allow for multiple streaming capabilities, which means that your family can stream from multiple devices within your home! In other words, this product will provide multiple streaming sessions (Netflix, YouTube, Prime Amazon etc.).

Yes. MorClick is sufficiently fast, robust and reliable to support students to fully and successfully participate in online learning experiences; including access to online learning tools, web-based rich content (such as video), interactive digital textbooks, e-books, online assessments and student & teacher conferencing.

The majority of real-time, multi-player games played on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation will not work over any satellite Internet service, due to transmission latency.

“Turn-based” games, such as casino games, and strategy games, like chess, will work fine, as will popular Facebook games like Candy Crush.

You will be able to download games and game updates and use the streaming video and music services offered through your gaming system. 

There is a half second delay with satellite Internet service caused by distance that data needs to travel up to the satellite and back again. Therefore, time-sensitive applications that require fractions-of-a-second user inputs (such as multi-player “twitch” games or real-time equities trading) are not supported by MorClick’s Internet Satellite Solutions.

MorClick partners with the communities where we install, making support and service a part of the community revenue stream. This means that should you ever encounter problems – the appointed service provider is in your community and available to answer questions and provide solutions.

We are affordable. MorClick invests in our customers by providing free standard equipment infrastructure and installation*. MorClick offers different package options to suit your needs.

In a nutshell, MorClick’s Satellite Internet Solutions simply works as follows:

Your smart device sends a signal request through your modem to your MorClick satellite dish and then up to our orbiting satellite, which sends a signal to us. Then, we transmit the signal back to the satellite, then to your dish, your modem, and finally, your smart device. All of this happens in less than half of a second!

MorClick partners with local businesses to help you subscribe in three easy steps:

1. Process the order
2. Install the standard equipment terminal, including the satellite dish and modem
3. Activate the service

It can be mounted on a roof, wall or via a pole mount on the ground. We cover up to a distance of 60kms!

Yes, the traffic classification and priority queues are the same for all MorClick Plans.

 Our services deliver the following ‘up to’ best-effort headline speeds per package:

The aim here is to ensure that our subscribers do not notice the effect of the weather on the signal. The service is designed to cope with most weather conditions, including wind speeds of up to 100mph. During periods of extremely heavy rain or snow, the radio signals may become attenuated (reduced). There are sophisticated, automatic measures to effectively increase the power of your system to compensate for any attenuation by using Adaptive Coding & Modulation (ACM). ACM enables the system to automatically react to the effects of rain fade.

Yes, all of our packages support standard VOIP applications like Skype, IMO etc. Latency times associated with satellite broadband may cause a short delay (~1 second) between your speaking and the other person’s hearing.

No, the MorClick Satellite Solutions do not require a telephone line. It is a bi-directional satellite system, independent of telephone lines.

When the number of people using the network simultaneously increases, the Internet speed may reduce. Think of broadband as a tunnel with traffic moving through it. The more traffic in the tunnel, the slower traffic moves. In other words, you may find that during peak periods, your download speeds are slightly less than usual. This is a universal phenomenon that is commonly referred to as congestion on the network.

Our satellite system can connect to any smart device; PC, MAC, or laptop provided that there is a network card installed.

While a wireless router can be connected to a satellite modem, connecting multiple devices to the router may cause degradation of the internet service.

Personal routers are often not compatible with the satellite modem and this also causes degradation of speed and quality, and makes technical support challenging.

For example, third party routers are often preloaded with the third party network firmware which creates integration problems.

A ping is not a reliable test for connectivity or speed. The reason for this is that a Satellite is based in a geostationary orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator. Due to the distance it has to cover, it will normally take approximately 600ms.

Added to this, a ping is classified as low priority command by networks. This means that all other applications will be processed before the ping command!

As there is no acceleration applied to the ping command, this can sometimes cause increased ping times or even a ‘time out’ – making it an undependable speed test.

MorClick cannot guarantee DSTV Now streaming quality due to DSTV’s caching setup. This means that you could experience buffering when streaming DSTV, based on the content you are viewing and the level of network congestion at the time of viewing.

Running a VPN (virtual private network) over a satellite network is not an ideal configuration. The reason is that VPNs are encrypted requiring a high-bandwidth, low-latency network to function efficiently. Satellite networks have latency constraints due to the long distance satellite signals must travel.

For VPN services over satellite to work, your VPN provider needs to implement their own acceleration system. Should you wish to use VPN, please check with your VPN provider whether TCP acceleration is available before ordering our satellite service.

MorClick has introduced capped satellite packages to our product set for customers that prefer to carefully manage their usage and spend, by subscribing to a set quantity of gigs in bandwidth each month. Once you have used up your data, either your connection will stop until you get your allocation for your new data cycle or, you can “top-up” by buying tokens for additional bandwidth to stay connected.

Capped services enable you to monitor your usage against your budget as you can actively manage the number of gigs you want to use. The amount of used data on the connection is reset to zero at the beginning of each calendar month.

Both your downloaded and uploaded bytes count towards your volume usage.

All our Capped Packages deliver headline speeds as follows:

•  20 Mbps downlink (maximum best effort as per plan)
• 3 Mbps uplink (maximum best effort as per plan)

The speed achieved on all packages is dependent on many factors, such as:

• The general state of network loading across the Internet
• Speed of the servers that the websites you are visiting
• The number of concurrent active users and their activity levels on the network

All our packages are ‘best effort’ and, every measure is in place to ensure that no users take a disproportionate share of the capacity. MorClick guarantees sufficient bandwidth to deliver the monthly Gigabyte quota.

Free Zone is from midnight to 6 am. During this time, you have free access to data – according to the plan you are on. In other words, if you are on our Capped package 50GB plan – you will receive an additional 200GB FREE during our Free Zone – the ideal time to perform high volume work such as downloading larger files and performing those necessary data hungry updates, etc.

We offer plans from 50GB to more than 200GB per month.

All you need to do is purchase a data token to top up your service! Tokens are each valued at 10% of the data value of your package. So, if you are on the 100GB package, you can buy top-up tokens to the value of 10GBs each when required:

Purchase your token by adding our WhatsApp number,  021-137-7638, and typing ‘Hi’.

Our contact centre hours are:

Monday to Friday: 08:00 to 17:30

Saturdays: 08:00 to 14:00

Sundays and Public Holidays: Closed

Once we have received your EFT, we will top you up – and your top-up will be loaded within 24 hours! So, if you think that you are about to run low, make sure you top up in time so you don’t experience any downtime. Your token is activated as soon as your package hits zero data. If you regularly exceed your quota, you may want to consider upgrading your package selection.

Yes, you can! Just be mindful that streaming can use a lot of data – so we encourage you to monitor your usage and consider our MorEntertainment Package.

Yes. Once you become a customer, you will get customer portal access with a username and password, enabling access to your data charts to show you how much data you have used. There are two options available to you to check how much data is being used on your package:

1. Add our WhatsApp Number 021-137-7638, and type ‘Hi’. Or,
2. Log into our YahClick-powered network at https://selfcare.yahclick.com/YAHS_PRT_CC_Login

Please note that while our 5Mbps Unlimited Package has been discontinued, we continue to support all 5Mbps Unlimited packages already signed up.

FAIR USE POLICY

VOIP is a service that operates with a special type of phone called an IP Phone. This phone is programmed and plugged into your modem connected to your MorClick satellite service via a standard ethernet cable.

Yes, the voice channel prioritizes the call on the network to provide a clear quality call.

Select one of the VOIP phones that MorClick provides,  send your POP to the call centre, and we will provide you a pre-programmed phone and send it out to you, ready to be plugged in. Alternatively, you can buy your own VOIP phone that you will need to programme yourself.

MorClick has special VOIP-enabled products designed in a way that does not interfere with your voice channel(s). Your current MorClick data package has a VOIP enabled option that your dealer can assist with.

The quality of streaming entertainment services are determined by several factors:

• The entertainment service provider’s settings e.g. DSTV settings are based on different principles to other streaming services and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
• The entertainment service provider’s location
• The technical capability of the devices you are using to stream
• The demand of concurrent users using the internet
• And lastly, the internet and satellite channels being used to stream

It is important to remember that:

• Some streaming entertainment services such as Ultra High DefinitionVideo require a minimum of 25Mbps download speed which is outside of the 20Mbps MorClick service capability.
• Entertainment streaming boxes often require HD – on satellite, SD or lower settings are required for a satisfactory user experience.
