3 week later back to slowness sub half a Mbs from ...

To cut a long story short I managed to get a decent speed (2.7Mbs) which due to where I live I expected that, after of course  a long protracted agument with BT in the 1st place. Now 3 weeks later I am yet again sub 0.5Mbs for 3 day running due to errors and packet dropping on the line. My ISP has fone the line check.
I won't go into the ins and out but suffice to say 0.5Mbs is not good enough. When I know full well that the line should have speeds circa 3Mbs. Again and again I have told them that the line between the exchange and the houses are of such porr quality that they are not providing a permanent solution just bodge fixes. What redress shall I go through to get this done. I have been thinking C.A.B and or Ofcom.
Why won't BT listen to it's rural customers is this because they know they are the only rural PSTN/POTS provider?  Thus fleece us with high prices knowing full we we cannot move away from them? I am venting my spleen a bit here because I am getting more and more frustrated at the lack of help from BT with what is in essence a speed that will allow me contiue to work from home and to actually surf the web.

Eclipse ISP
BT phone line as there no other pstn/pots in my part of Devon. The distance from my exchange is 4.5km as the wire goes not as the crow fllies. approx 20 houses use the same pole to pole with all the same problems as me. so at 4.5km I know I am at the edge of your achane infrastructure with no real way out else I'd have taken it. Bodge after bodge. BT cherry picker after BT cherry picker. Is there any wonder at the amount of vemon in mine and other peoples post on here. 
Yet the goverment where trying to get minimum speeds to 2Mbs I bet you've claused rural out that bill if it ever comes into force? You have changed the lower limit for 400kbs to 600kbs wow whoopty do.

    It seems that even if they were going to stop offering the collection, that they could have offered people who have bought the first half the option to buy the second half before discontinuing it. I understand that they they are under no obligation, but it just seems really lame. I based the decision to buy the first half on how much it was going to cost to ultimately buy the whole series. Had I known that the price was going to become so much more with no warning, I likely would not have bought the first half. Pretty lame. Bait and switch. Not feeling warm and fuzzy whatsoever. I think Apple should either re-offer vol. 2 to people who bought vol. 1, or buy vol. 1 back from us.

    I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

    I tried the Aperature trial and liked it, but did not purchase it when the trial ended. A few weeks later, i purchased snow lepord and purchased aperture via the app store. I have had not been able to use it since. Each time i open it , afer a few seconds i get the spinning wheel of death and Aperture is frozen. I have to force quit Aperture to shot down mycomputer. I have re-installed Aperture 3 times with th e same result. I have iphoto on my computer as well is this causing the problem? I want my money back!!! Can anyone help?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

  • Updated to iOS6, a week later, photos disappeared and photostream/iPhoto stopped syncing.

    I updated my 4s to iOS 6, and my photos were fine.  A week later, and my photos have disappeared, though the album names are there.  (I don't have access to a PC, so I can't use the iExplorer trick to find the photo files.)
    All of my photos exist on my photostream on my iPad, but the photostream is not syncing on my iPhone.  (Yes, the photostream is turned on on both devices.)
    In addition, many of the photos were backed up with iPhoto, and iTunes says 44 of them shoudl be synced with my phone--but they are not syncing either.
    My OS is not up to date on my Mac (I know, I know, but I deleted the app store and am too lazy to update) so I can't access my photostream on my computer.
    I created a "shared" photostream with every photo from my photostream, and only 40 of 1000 photos (the one taken by my iPad rather than my iPhone)  have appeared on my iphone in this shared photostream.
    Questions:
    1.  How do I access the photo files on my iphone, given I don't have a PC? Or is a shared photostream the best option?
    2.  How do I get my photostream to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my phone and iPad settings say it should already be syncing? 
    3.  How do I get iPhoto to sync with my iPhone, despite the fact that my computer setttings say it should already be syncing?

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Everytime I go abroad I have problems with my iphone in that contacts text me and I dont receive the message or the message land in my email about three weeks later. Some contacts I cant send or receive messages from even though I could before Any Ideas?

    Hi,
    Everytime I go abroad I have problems with my contacts, some people send me messages and I dont receive them. I sent them messages and they are not received either. Their phones and mine show them as sent, but they are never received. Sometimes the text messages sent to arrive in my email about three weeks later. Any ideas how I can resolve this and get back to messaging my friends as normal?
    Thanks T

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • After firefox 30 was installed this week the browser is slow but will not allow navigation away until finished

    After firefox 30 was installed this week the browser is slow on sites with a large amount of information, data to set up,or many pictures or videos but will not allow navigation away until completely finished. Stop and back does not help it just continues the original site. Prior to release of 30 although slow it did allow navigation away or back.

    Hello dexrek
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.

  • HT201412 i updated my i pad 4th gen with ios 8 when the upload finished it kept turning itself off a few weeks later i did a update and now wont turn on i have tried to restore and recover but freezes any suggestions thanks Rick

    Hi i have a ipad 4th gen i updated to ios 8.0 after it installed it kept turning itself off. A few weeks later i installed a update for ios it turned itself off and wont turn back on. I have tried  plugging it into itunes to restore it recognizes the ipad when i press recover it just freezes and wont restore or recover its just a blank screen there is no power light or anything just blank please help with any suggestions, Thanks Rick.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

    When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
    No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.
