Adding broadband to an existing package – is it po...

A phone call from BT prompted me to look into adding broadband to my home phone line.
The helpful sales person insists that the only way to do this is to take out a long contract, 12 or 18 months, and to accept a "free" router.
The reason for the request is that my main broadband line is rubbish late at night, when I want to use the BBC iPlayer.
I do not want another router. (I have plenty of network gear lying around.) I do not want a long contract.
As the regulator is clamping down on over long contracts, you would think that BT might be happy just to charge me a monthly fee on top of my phone bill.
Is this possible? Or do I have to look at alternative broadband suppliers?

There are not many providers that offer a 30 day broadband contract
Most will provide a contract for 12 or 18 months and what is the harm in getting a free router, you don't need to use it, but keep it in case of problems and to help in diagnostics.
I don't use the HH3, but a D-Link Dir 825, but the HH3 is sat next to the D-Link but powered off, ready to take over if ever have problems and need to do further diagnostics

    Please do not jump to conclusions and make assumptions here like 'when will people finally get it??'.  I never said it was a benchmark.  I have also seen many examples of where it's results do not go with conventional performance.  I have a Radeon 9000 that goes faster on glxgears than a Geforce FX 5600 running Nouveau.  Which is the faster card?  The FX by miles.  It is not a benchmark as it can not be compared between configurations.  What I know is that on this individual system, from prior experience over many years when 3D acceleration is working glxgears gets between 300 and 400 fps.  When it is not working it gets less than 10.  That is a fact but does not mean it is benchmarkable.  Yes, a Quake 3 timedemo (I have these numbers too and they very much correlate to glxgears performance for this system given just how slow it is) would be a benchmark but when it runs less than 0.1fps and even the 2D rendering means that navigating the menu is impossible, there just isn't the time to find out.  Hence if playing around with drivers on this system I would use glxgears to check that 3D acceleration is working but not to benchmark.  Glxinfo does not give you all this evidence.
    But to clarify, I wouldn't use glxgears as a benchmark, benchmarking is different and I do a lot of that too.

  • Adding one function to a existing package

    i want to add one function to an existing packgage .
    How can i do this?

    Hi,
            Its Simple , Take Your Existing Package Spec And Body from Your Database,It Will Like Below Shown Code,
    Package Spec:
    Create or Replace Package my_existingpack
      is
      Procedure myproce_1 (lv_variable in varchar2
                                        lv_variablex out varchar2);
      procedure myproce_2(lv_variable in varchar2

  • Package javax.servlet does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not

    Dear All,
    I am a newbie to JAVA.
    I installed JDK1.6.0_04, then NetBeans IDE 6.0
    I tried compiling an example servlet, but got this error message:
    package javax.servlet does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not exist
    I tried locating these packages, but in vain. I also tried setting the CLASSPATH to many values, still it did not work.
    Can anyone, please, help me with this.
    Should I be able to see/locate these packages, do I have to download them?
    Thank you very much.

    What servlet/JSP engine do you plan to deploy to? Tomcat, perhaps?I think it's Tomcat (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14). Are there other engines that come with NetBeans IDE 6.0 (when I downloaded NetBeans, I chose ALL)

    If so, you'll need to put the servlet JAR in your CLASSPATH. (servlet-api.jar for Tomcat 5.5 and earlier, servlet.jar for 6.0 >and later.)
    I tried locating these packages, but in vain.
    You won't find them until you realize that you have to deploy that servlet someplace.How to deploy?
    I also tried setting the CLASSPATH to many values, still it did not work.
    See above. What were you planning to set CLASSPATH to?First I set to:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\lib (because I found jar named servlet-api.jar in this folder)
    Later I added this:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\lib (out of trial-and-fail)
    Finally I added some paths that lead to a library such as
    C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2\lib
    C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2\lib\ant\lib
    Can anyone, please, help me with this.
    Should I be able to see/locate these packages, do I have to download them?

  • SCCM 2007 R3 New DP , how to add to all existing packages

    Hi
    Is there a script which allows an SCCM 2007 R3 DP to be automatically added as a DP for all existing packages? I know this is easily done in 2012 with Powershell support or DP Groups, but was wondering how to automatically add a DP to all existing packages
    in SCCM 2007 R3
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    This is easily done in 2007 also without any scripting by using the Copy Packages Wizard: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693746.aspx

  • Screen freezed as adding new applet to a package.

    Chuck,
    You have the full production version.
    I have seen something similar, but it is a matter of finding the window beneath other windows.
    Let me understand what you are doing:
    1. You have a project ( File | New Empty Project)
    2. You select File | New... to launch the wizard gallery
    Point A : Maybe you don't see wizard3. You select the Applet icon and press OK
    Point B : Maybe you don't see wizardIs this what is happening - Are you at point A or point B or Other (explain).
    In some cases, the dialogs appear in back of other windows - you can try this trick:
    Right click on an empty part of the task bar and select menu 'Minimize All Windows' - This will force modal dialogs to the front.
    I hope this helps,

  • Adding portal to an existing domain

    Hi I have a JSP/Servlet web applicatin and
    I want to make it a portal application.
    I was following Weblogic Portal Development
    Guide 7.0. I found the section
    "Adding portal to an existing domain" is very incomplete
    or confusing and I cannot do it. Is there any better document
    for this?

    Judging from the dates between these two entrries and no answers, I'd
    guess that there isn't anyone from BEA monitoring this group? I am in a
    similar situation. What I want to understand is how one can "portalize" an
    existing web app. I understand there are implications to some of the
    presentation, but specifically, I want to deploy a Servlet based app that
    uses EJBs and deploy this as an EAR in the same domain as the portal
    (perhaps under the /applications directory). I can make everything work
    except the webflow where I reference the Servlet.
    Specifically, I have a presentation page that is defined to be my servlet.
    When I try to build a webflow URL referencing this event, I get errors from
    the portal because it presumes it may be located somewhere else or in a
    different namespace. It leads me to believe that I can't reference a
    servlet unless it is under the /framework or /portal directories under the
    portal web-app directory. I'm convinced there must be a way to reference
    other web components that aren't specifically part of the portal web app,
    but can't figure out how to propagate the webflow element to the actual
    servlet I want.
    Any ideas from the community at large? This must be something other
    people have wrestled with since I can't imagine that only new apps will be
    put into portals.
    Thanks,
