Activation date come and gone

My activation date has come and gone, with no broadband. No one contacted me to let me know what was happening. 
I received an email and voice message today saying that my broadband is now activated but it is not. I have an orange light with flashing red broadband light and no connection. 
Fed up trying to sort this out! How do I find out when my broadband will be up and running?

I have it on the only main phone line that comes into the house. I have it plugged into a micro filter then plugged into the socket.
I ordered broadband option 1 not infinity but the plug on the socket has infinity written on it.
That will not work, as the phone socket does not carry broadband.
Remove the microfilter, and plug it directly into the small socket at the top of the infinity socket.
The Infinity socket works for both Infinity and normal broadband.

  • Activation Date Been And Gone

    Hi.
    I'm very disappointed My Broadband Activation Date was Monday 3rd December.
    Could one of the Moderators please look into this for me.
    Why give me this date if you can't keep your promise.

  • DB link problem between active Data Guard and report application database

    My database version in 11.2.0.2.0 and OS is Oracle Solaris 10 9/10.
    I am facing a problem in my Active data guard Database for reporting purpose. Active Data guard information is as below.
    SQL> select name, database_role, open_mode from v$database;
    NAME DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE
    ORCL PHYSICAL STANDBY READ ONLY WITH APPLY
    Problem detail is below
    I have created a db link (Name: DATADB_LINK) between active data guard and report application database for reporting purpose.
    SQL> create database link DATADB_LINK connect to HR identified by hr using 'DRFUNPD';
    Database link created.
    But when I run a query using db link from my report application database I got this below error.
    ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 10 with name "_SYSSMU10_4261549777$" too small
    ORA-02063: preceding line from DATADB_LINK
    Then I check Active Data Guard database alart log file and get below error
    ORA-01555 caused by SQL statement below (SQL ID: 11yj3pucjguc8, Query Duration=1 sec, SCN: 0x0000.07c708c3):SELECT "A2"."BUSINESS_TRANSACTION_REFERENCE","A2"."BUSINESS_TRANSACTION_CODE",MAX(CASE "A1"."TRANS_DATA_KEY" WHEN 'feature' THEN "A1"."TRANS_DATA_VALUE" END ),MAX(CASE "A1"."TRANS_DATA_KEY" WHEN 'otherFeature' THEN "A1"."TRANS_DATA_VALUE" END )
    But the interesting point if I run the report query directly in Active Data Guard database, I never got error.
    So is it a problem of DB link between active Data Guard and other database?

  • Activation date passed and still no BB!!!!

    I left my previous ISP due to poor service.....I somehow thought BT would be better but so far they have been utter rubbish, I am actually regretting my move from Tiscali/talk talk!! that says a lot as they have got to be the worst ISP's out! My latest problem now that my eagerly awaitied activation date has now passed 22.08.11 and I have no BB connection. I waited up till after midnight last night to check that the activation works and what do you know it didn't! (why don't you activate after midnight the night before your equipment is delivered so that your customers don't get there equipment and then still have to wait till after midnight for any BB) anyways I tried again this morning before work and still no connection...done all the tests i could prior to work and still nothing. This is really frustrating as you were late in delivering the equipment in the first place!! I NEED this sorted asap!! Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the quickest solution please???

  • BT activation date confirmed and changed 4 times! ...

    Back in November last year I had placed an order to move my services (phone and BT infinity 2 at the time) to my new home (new build) and asked for an activation date of 22 December. At the time I paid for line rental for onw year in advance, which I now regret.
    Shortly thereafter I started receiving messages and calls from BT stating that my services activation would be delayed and a date of Jan 26 2015 was eventually confirmed. As this date approached, I then got a message that the activation date had actually moved to May 22! Convinced it was an error of some sort (it also appeared on my account information online), I called BT and was assured that it would be much earlier than that but that they could not confirm when at the time. I called again later and it was eventually revealed to me that my current order was not progressing and they would open another.So, I had another order created with a potential activation date of Jan 30, but I was assured that they would try to fast track it. This was around Jan 15.
    Time went by and I eventually received calls/messages/emails stating that a Jan 26 date was indeed confirmed for an engineer visit. The 26th came and nobody showed up. I called the next day, and the staff were apologetic about the situation and explained that it was an Openreach issue and that some work was still ongoing to get my services activated. I replied as I had before that many people in my street already had phone and broadband so surely the area was covered (the online coverage checker states that I can get BT infinity 2...). In the end a date of Jan 29 was again confirmed and I asked specifically if they were sure they could make it this time - I was assured that it would be the last slippage.
    Sadly, it was not to be. Just yesterday I received a call saying that my service was again delayed and as such I would have to choose another activation date - the earliest offered being Feb 5. The reasons were again to do with Openreach not fulfilling their end of the bargain, and the fact that I was in a "bronze" zone. I replied that I was loosing count of how many times my activation date had been moved and re-confirmed, but was again assured that this would be the last time...
    So now, I wait for Feb 5. I am considering cancelling my services with BT altogether but unsure of whether I would get my line rental saver payment back if I do so.
    If a mod checks this and is willing to help, I would very appreciative. Thank you.

  • Active Data Guard and Undo and ora-01555

    Hi
    We have an 11.1.0.7 two-node RAC primary with a single instance Active Data Guard physical standby. When running a datapump export from the standby, we get an ORA-01555 although the undo_retention is set way beyond the run time for the export.
    I'm looking to better understand undo within the context of Active Data Guard. Is there any dependency for undo between the primary(s) and standby? Are the undo settings (undo_retention, undo tablespace size..) on the primary and standby independent of each other?
    Thanks.

    The standby is a Physical Standby. An exact copy of the Primary. The undo at the standby is controlled by the redo coming from the Primary. When the undo gets overwritten at the Primary it gets overwritten at the standby regardless of what is running there. You can't have undo kept around longer at the standby, it is an EXACT copy of the Primary.
    Increasing the undo tablespace and the undo_retention at the Primary will allow more undo to be kept at both the Primary and the Standby but the standby is still controlled by the Primary's management of the undo. Of course you should change the parameter at the standby too so that everything behaves the same when you make the standby a Primary database.
    Hope this helps.

  • After my Apple update this morning, I am having trouble with the keyboard not popping up when I try to type on websites. I do not have the Bluetooth activated. This has come and gone twice today so far.Help.

    After updating my iPad this morning, my keyboard keeps going from active to inactive on websites.

    As long as you are sure that you have Bluetooth turned off .....
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    See if that helps.

  • Activation date passed and still no broadband

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently switched from Orange to BT as I was having an issue with my broadband that Orange were far from helpful about. 
    My equipment (HH4) and activation email arrived on 16th September to say everything was ready to go.
    I followed the steps that came with the equipment, but the Hub light never returned to blue. It is stuck on orange and the broadband light is flashing red. I've been in contact with the BT support team for the last 3 days, but have just grown more frustrated. They advised me to wait until today to see if it would connect, so I did, but still no connection. They said they would book an engineer but when I rang back they wanted to do some extra tests, which are scheduled for this Friday.
    If any moderators could help, anything would be appreciated. It's now been a month with no Broadband, and the support team are slowly driving me insane.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Activation date passed and NO phoneline or broadba...

    I recently switched from Sky to BT as I was having an issue with my broadband and phoneline that Sky were far from helpful about. Sky took 5 weeks to fix a fault on the phoneline after many promises and many times an engineer didnt turn up when promised.Ive checked the test socket and done all the test.Now im being messed about by BT and im now wondering is this a very normal thing all company's do now.First sky and now BT,who next if I decide to change again??
    My equipment (HH4) and activation email arrived on 18th September to say everything was ready to go.
    I followed the steps that came with the equipment, but the Hub light never returned to blue. It is stuck on orange and the broadband light is flashing red. Also the phoneline is completely dead and still and its getting towards 2am now.Thing is know all the connections and the phone cable works because Sky finaly fixed the phoneline 2 weeks ago after 5 weeks waiting to get it fixed and its been perfect since and the engineer sent 2 weeks ago put a new cable from the mast to the flat and fitted a new phone socket so BT cant give me the **bleep** my line or equipment is faulty because that would be bull **bleep**! The sky phoneline and broadband went off yesterday morning then a few hours later got texts from bt to say the phoneline and broadband is now active and is ready to use.I even changed the filters over BT sent with the new home hub.I plugged the phone directly in to the test socket and nothing,its completely dead! I switched to BT because I thought I would get better service than sky but I was so very wrong! Been reading and doing research and it seems quite a few people have the or have had the same problem as my self or a similar problem!!

    Ultimately, you need to report it as a fault (0800 800 151, or check in the phone book for a number you can use on a mobile).  It looks like BT haven't actually switched on your service yet.

  • Activation date passed and passed and passed again...

    We recently moved and transferred our BT phone number and broadband with no major problems. As our contract had expired I looked to agree a new one and BT Infinity seemed reasonable.......however
    November 25: called BT to upgrade to Infinity, would go live on December 3rd. Emails confirmed this.
    December 5: called BT saying no news and order tracking says we cancelled the order. No reason given, as I was moved between departments. Eventually 'we have put new order in, Infinity live on December 18'.
    December 19: called BT stating again no news. They said we had a call delaying it until December 23. My wife said she had a call she couldn't really understand, but seemed to say that delay until December 24.
    December 24: called BT at 4:30pm, fair play someone was still working. Said he would investigate and call back before 6pm. No call but then saw an email. 'new order in, Infinity live January 13'.
    And that's where we are. I could comment further, but I think the above speaks for itself.
    By the way the activation charge of £30 has been taken and is amongst 20 different items under 'line rental and other charges' on latest bill.
    The good news is that the phone and basic broadband (when I last checked) is working fine, though 'My BT' doesn't list a phone service anymore.
    Help!

  • Panorama feature come and gone!

    Hey all!,
    A true story.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad that I had connected to the same PC the day that the IOS6 came out. I run the IOS upgrade at the same time and both my iPhone and iPad got upgraded. Once the devices were all done, I checked the new features and I was pleasantly surprized at the new feature that BOTH of my devices had, the AMAZING panoramic feature.
    I didn't know any better I guess, and I thought that it was a standard feature for both devices (how little did I know).
    I took my iPad to my kid's games, and to social events where hordes of people seemd to think that I had some sort of a "special" connection with Apple. I was told repeatedly that they had never seen anything llike that because they did not have the "Panorama" feature.
    I used my iPad's COOL panoramic feature in parties, and in social events with amazing results. I could actually see the results of the panoramic view on a big screen (versus the tiny iPhone screen).
    Then I looked for the panorama under options and it was not there. I called Apple support and they told me that "the feature is not compatible, and although we believe that you had it at some point, we can't give it back to you".
    So the suggestion from the Apple support was "Write to Apple and request the feature to be added to the new release"
    Thank you Apple.

    According to the link below, panorama is only on some iPhones and the 5th generation iPod Touch.

  • Md5's time has come and gone.

    --MD5 Hashing Algorithm Flawed
    (28 January 2005)
    Security researchers are warning that the MD5 hashing algorithm, which
    is used by two of the three major content addressed storage system
    vendors, is flawed.  MD5 has reportedly been decertified for secure
    operations by NIST since at least 1998.
    http://www.computerworld.com/printthis/ … 31,00.html
    [Editor's Note (Tan): So far the MD5 collision is only on two 1024-bit
    messages (http://eprint.iacr.org/2004/199.pdf), but this is sufficient
    to prove that it is not 100% reliable. It will be good to start
    considering using a larger hash function. In fact, NIST plans to phase
    out SHA-1 in favor of SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 by 2010
    (http://csrc.nist.gov/hash_standards_comments.pdf).
    (Schneier): As the article says, the idea that there are flaws in MD5
    is nothing new.  It really is time and past for vendors to stop using
    it.]
    from: SANS NewsBites--Feb. 2, 2005--Vol. 7, Num. 5
    I realize that I am Mr. Security-Nutcase-stickler-uptight, but I think arch should move away from md5 towards SHA-256. md5 has been known to not be cryptographically secure for some time now. I think steps should be taken for migration...

    extra length does not necessarily ensure a better hash.
    Hashing algorithms are big voodoo, lots of "tricks" to try to chop down to the bits specified.
    Anyway, back to your statement. md5 outputs a 128 bit hash result. sha1 outputs a 160 bit result. md5 has been shown to have collisions. sha1 has so far not (the full 80 round version. A simplified 30 round version was shown to have some weakness).
    Sha1 can address...
    *counts on fingers*
    2^160..
    according to the "birthday" algorithm (heh..that is the only way I can remember it) you would only need approx 2^80 to find a collision (half the address space).
    sha-256 is of course, a 256 bit outputting hash.
    So with sha-256 (if it is "secure", and so far it appears to be so), you would need..
    2^128...aka a big damn number.
    That is, of course, if you are simply doing exhaustive searches for collisions. I believe there was some issue with md5, some trick if you will, that allowed them to theoretically reduce the address space further than 2^64.
    But, as I said, this is likely a non-issue for a couple more years. Still, it would be nice to be the first distro to move off of md5, because eventually, everyone will have to do so.
