4 MONTHS AND NOTHING BUT TROUBLE- NO SOLUTIONS ANY...

Joined BT in March 2011 -great almost 3mb (rural area) - stable at 2.4mb 1 week later .
Gradually got worse and erratic the last 6 weeks -dropped connection very slow -down to 855 -less than 1mb.
Over a week of constant call -all replied to by Indian call centre - they decided to tell me "there were lots of errors on my line " !?
Eventually today a BT engineer came out -checked everything -no errors !!!
Replaced the one socket i had with one with built in filters , changed connectors outside in 3 boxes on estate.
Told me i should be back up to almost 3mb as thats what it was round here .
Told to wait 4 hours for improvement .
7 hours later -NO IMPROVEMENT !
In fact its back to just over 1mb -SLOWER THAN BEFORE !
At my wits end and sick of being fobbed off and the Indian call centre -who are totally ignorant .
I rang them tonight -again said there were errors on my line and they would "FIX THEM !" AND RING ME BACK .
GUESS WHAT -THEY DIDNT !
4 MONTHS AND HAD ENOUGH - EVEN WORSE THAN TISCALI !!!!!-  I was with them 8 years and had loads of problems -BUT didnt expect them with BT in 4 months !
I have no idea how to post these stat things -been doing BB checker tests at regular times and tried different tests .
All showing just over 1MB .
I got 1.5 with Tiscali !
Ready to leave already !!!!!!

in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • WRT610N, Xbox Live, Moderen Warfare 2 and nothing but trouble !!

    I have been having problems over the last few months with constant drop outs on Xbox live and now specifically MW2. I have tried every option I can think of in the settings (Xbox and Linksys WRT610N) but no luck. I thought I would share my story in hope that either I might be able to help someone with what I have learned so far or get lucky that someone might offer up a solution that I have not been able to work out yet.
    Let the story begin ......
    Issue: Can connect to Xbox Live but will drop me out of the middle of games (Halo, Live Arcade, etc), and especially MW2 only to bring me back into the same game with my score set back to 0 each time. This happens on every game and every mode. If I am the host of a game then it will boot everyone else out half way through the game, bring up a message that enimies are about to forfeit and then finally rejoin everyone with their scores all set back to 0.
    Back Story:
    Have tried 3 different routers (this one being the latest) the other was a top of the line Belkin and older Linksys model
    Have power cycled and reset and restored factory defaults on all many times.
    Have changed out the actual ethanet cables as well.....No luck
    Have 2 Xbox's in the House and both produce the same results.
    My Current Settings:10N
    Product = WRT610N
    ISP = Bellsouth
    Xbox360 = Hardwired
    NAT = Open
    PPPoE
    IP and DNS are both Manual........
    Entered in matching DNS1 & DNS2 into Xbox settings
    IP = Manual and sits with DMZ enabled and assigned the Xbox a manual IP address outside Router IP range at .200
    Port Forwarding on for 88 & 53 Both (Tried UDP Only) ....53 & 3074 Both
    MTU = 1452
    Even added in specific Xbox Mac address into the Router page...no luck
    Upnp: = Disabled......Tried it enabled as well
    Went into QoS in the Application and Gaming section of the Router to try and priortize all the Xbox Live and MW2 advanced ports above and below.
    Read on a forum post to try unchecking Filter Anonymous Internet Requests in the Security tab settings....no luck
    Called Xbox Live support..............Went to 2nd level tech twice.
    They said IW/Activision had given them specific port settings for MW2 that I could try. My intial thought was Houston we might have lift off:....Tried opening additional Ports based of 2nd Level Support:
    3658 = UDP
    3478 = UDP
    3075 = UDP
    443 = TCP
    5223 =TCP
    Unfortunately no luck !
    Next I tried reading another million posts and forums to no avail.
    Help please, please please

    I finally got it to work 10 min ago !!!!!!!
    Here is the issue so if others incounter the same problem you will have some potential options to explore.
    Having 2 Xboxes going through the Linksys Router to Xbox live is the issue. This is what you need to do in your settings.
    Make both Xbox IP's Automatic
    DO NOT USE Port Forwarding.............You must enter these in Port Range Triggering:
    Xbox Live port settings 80, 88, 53 & 3074
    Same for Modern Warfare 2 ports = 3658, 3478, 3075 & 443
    On the setup page enable Keep Alive: Redial Period  = 180
    MTU = 1364
    Disable Home Network Defender
    Enable Upnp
    Disable DMZ
    QoS = Enable Internet Access Priority and Add in the ports above and set to High
    Add in the Mac addresses of the two Xboxes (you can find these in the advance network settings of you Xbox)
    Hope this helps as I have been researching this fix for 2 months and spent 20+hours playing with settings to finally get this to work

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

  • K9A2 Platinum - Nothing but Trouble!!!

    OK, Well I purchased this board today, and from the off, I had constant blue screens, I fixed that by going into SafeMode (with networking enabled) and deleting 2 copys of the file 'AMDLLD64.SYS' from the system files after reading that this was causing the same issues for other people
    and after that I have gotton into my OS fine, but on the odd occation I just get sudden freezes/crashes (the whole OS just pauses on my screen) and sometimes just goes to a black screen and restarts
    and the extra software/utillities that come on the disc dont work properly!
    I had previously owned an MSI board and even then I had nothing but trouble, but after the reviews I deceided to buy another MSI product, But after this, I believe that MSI pays off the reviewers to get a good review :(
    If any of you know a good place to find a guide to loads of workarounds for this board then I will be more than greatful!
    My setup is:
    Windows Vista Ultimate x64
    AMD phenom 9600 Black edition
    Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870
    4GB DDR2 800MHz OCZ Platinum
    MSI Platinum (K9A2)
    Corsair TX750W PSU
    ASUS Xonar D2 (PCI)

    Quote from: Bas on 06-September-08, 00:37:27
    Put XP 32bit on it.
    Vista (and special Vista 64bit) is the most unstable and crappy OS M$ has ever produced.
    I have tried it on several machines, and never got it stable where XP runs like a charm with no bluescreens or lockups ever.
    Vista did BSOD several times a day.
    I've been using Vista x64 with my K9A2 P for months now--no blue screens, no problems whatsoever. Stable as a rock--wouldn't consider using anything else at the moment.
    The fact that this file, AMDLLD64.SYS, was on his system indicates that he, like me, was running a dual-core Athlon prior to installing a Phenom quad core.  I think this file is installed by the AMD dual-core optimizer software that you should *not* be running with a Phenom.  He should uninstall the dual-core optimizer program.  Better yet, he should do a fresh install of Vista x64 and start from scratch.  That's what I did, and my problems went from a few to none at all as a result. 
    We get lazy sometimes when we update our hardware and we really don't want to do a fresh install and start from scratch.  But sometimes it's not only desirable to do so, it's a necessity if you want a stable environment.  Too many settings inside the OS are wrong for the new hardware and that causes the newer hardware problems.  Best advice: do a fresh install of Vista x64--and *don't overclock anything*--at least until you get your system 100% stable, first.
    That way, if overclocking is a problem you'll know exactly what causes it.

  • I downloaded firefox update had nothing but troubles since comp crashing how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system

    i downloaded firefox update, had nothing but troubles since, computer crashing when i try to open, or cursor lag for a long time ie. i try to move to do something it has to think about for 30 seconds to having to pushing reset to get anthing hapening
    but still freezes up i put my comp into a very good repair store cost me $119 to only to find no problem with computer, they had it running ,burning , doing everything properly, but they were using ie, as soon as i stoped that and went to firefox, back to lag etc. com bluescreen then crashing when i got home twice so far tried using previous version in system same problem, how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system, so i can completely uninstall then reistall a fresh earlier version

    I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
    Why do people do this shit.
    Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

  • PC Suite 6.83--Nothing But Trouble

    I was sent 6.83 over the Internet and anxiously installed the program on Win XP Home SP2 computer. Instead, I have had nothing but trouble. Nokia told me it was a MS problem. MS said it was my computer's manufacuturer's problem (Dell). Dell said that I had to reformat my hard drive (and you know how long that takes!).
    I've done all that and have been reloading programs, but PC Suite still doesn't work:
    -sometimes the icon keep spinning endlessly and only stops when I restart the computer.
    -sometimes it connects once, then not again.
    -I have reinstalled it at least twice and now I can't get the program to uninstall.
    Please help!

    Thank you for the tip of using the last five digits of the message number.
    However, this has not helped. I tried reloading an older version of PC Suite from the CD that I purchased with the cable as told byNokia tech support.
    Again, I got the cable driver unloaded but not PC Suite.
    Of interest is that when I click to uninstall PC Suite from the Add and Remove Programs site, the program which pops up is the new 6.83 version Installation program--not the uninstall program.
    I am about ready to throw in the towel and go to my Pocket PC as my PIM and use the phone only on the 6682 until I can get a Windows Mobile Phone.
    This has left a bad taste for me to Nokia and Symbian OS.

  • I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my appliatins will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my applications will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    Before you revert anything try this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

  • SSRS Export to text and NOTHING BUT TEXT!

    Is it possible to export a report to text only format? When I export my report to csv and then use the old DOS command to "type" the exported csv file there is a horrible little character at the beginning of the file. 
    I need to export just as text and nothing but text to drop the exported report into a 3rd party service which processes it. This squiggly little character is tripping the 3rd party system. I cant believe something so simple is not supported natively by SSRS?
    I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.

    Hi Hale,
    Please try to add the following text in the rsreportserver.config to work around the issue.
    <Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">

    </Extension>
    By default, the  rsreportserver.config is locate in:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
    There is a document about Export Tab Delimited text file in SSRS 2008 R2, you can refer to it.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
