ADSL Socket V1.0 and Filters

I've been experiencing speed issues/ cutting out for a few weeks. This was temporarily fixed after a "line fault" was diagnosed. After a week or so, I'm now getting an intermittent service again and was told by the online help that I needed to fit a filter.
When my ADSL main socket was fitted some years ago, the engineer hardwired the only telephone extension in the house to the back of the socket with the Home Hub plugged into the left socket on the faceplate. I've read in the forums, if a filter is fitted, I risk "double filtering" and messing up my 'phone operation. Who's correct, Engineer or online assistant?
(A friend of mine in the village is also experiencing similar issues; could be coincidence).

I'm still experiencing intermittent problems. Gave up with online chat and spoke to Tech Help who went through the same old spiel about getting +1 mb so they're fulfilling their contract and line test shows no issues over last 14 days.
What is actually happening is that my Sonos cuts out and won't even play radio. Web pages slow to download. So, I unplugged any ancilliaries from the hub (and the phone, just in case), hard wire the laptop and repeatedly run the BT Wholesale test which gives me a download speed of between 2.36 and 3.38 after 11 tries. U/L was 0.0 to 0.14 but mostly 0.0 something. Ping consistently 0.0. I Ran iplayer speed checker which gave me a download of 0.73mb and streaming speeds varying from 0 to  0.68mb. The BT.com tester wouldn't even run suggesting line too slow or web page issues. I did this using Google Chrome as the BT guy suggested that it was something to do with my browser but made no comment that my Sonos, desktop, smart TV, laptop and ipod must share the same issue. I normally use IE.
Today is all fine and dandy. Just ran tests:
BT Wholesale D/L 3.39, U/L 0.38, however Ping latency 47.13 (is this a clue?)
iplayer D/L 3.3, streaming consistently 3.3
"BT Help" D/L 3.33, U/L .36
I've a feeeling that I especially experience issues if it's raining and or windy but this could just be coincidental.
Sorry for the length of this post but I'm getting so frustrated that BT keep fobbing me of and I'd really like to know if it is actually me not them!

  • ADSL socket fitted - now extensions don't work

    Hopefully someone can help - BT don't seem to be able to!
    Problems with very slow Broadband speed solved by engineer replacing main socket with ADSL V1.0 (improved speed slightly).  Wasn't tilll after he left I realised none of my extensions worked.
    After many emails & hours on the phone to BT I was told to put old socket back on!  Have done this and extensions now work but broadband speed back to original - very slow.
    Why doesn't ADSL socket work with extensions?  The same wires are involved in same terminals.  Is there anytihing I can do to make extensions work?  Extensions are, I think this is right term, star wired.
    Thanks in advance for any replies
    Solved!

    You can hardwire extensions from the BACK of an NTE5 faceplate,
    for good advice about wiring try here

    If you want to hardwire a dedicated ADSL extension, then for maximum quality use either cat5e or cat6 ethernet quality cable. (as explained in the last link above). Treat it gently, and do not use staples but use slightly oversized cable clips, don't hit the cable with the hammer, and don't take the cable round sharp bends at a right angle, use radial curves - it is fragile. It will give you very good results. I am a customer of the above firm, and they supply good kit. I have no financial interest in recommending them.

  • Using transforms and filters without device drivers

    Hello,
    I came across NIMS as a possible solution for some transforms and filtering, possibly even generating test signal data, for a seismic application. I'm in the process of evaluating NIMS for best possible fit for what we need/want to accomplish.
    Basically, we've got some seismic data, and we want to process that data through a series of transforms and filters to denoise and pick the data for seismic analysis. No sense reinventing the wheel if we can adopt and then adapt a third-party library like NIMS into our app.
    We do not necessarily need any device drivers, although I noticed installing NIMS requires them. Hopefully we can opt in or out depending on what's actually required. Can someone help clarify the nature of the driver dependency?
    Anyhow, like I said I am evaluating it for best possible fit in our application, but in the meantime if someone can shed some light on the above concerns, questions, etc, would begreat.
    Thank you...
    Best regards.

  • Problem with sorting and filtering of table

    Hello,
    using VC 7.1 SP5 I have created [this|http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/2460/screenshotsr0.png] model. The webservice returns a collection of structured elements. The table is meant to display values of top-level attributes. This works as expected.
    However, the table cannot be sorted or filtered. What is the reason for this? How can I fix that?
    I tried to store the result of the web service in a data bridge. That did not succeed.
    Best regards
    Alexander

    Hi Natty,
    How are you trying to sort it?
    I want to be able to sort the table by clicking on the table column headers. Furthermore, I want be able to filter the table by using the built-in table feature. However, table sorting and filtering seem to be disabled for this particular table, whereas other tables in my model provide the desired features.
    Best regards

  • Socket for broadcast and receive?

    Hi all,
    sorry for cross post but I need an answer soon.
    The server need to broadcast an inviting message continuosly. and at the same time the socket is able to receive any messages from the client.
    I use 2 threads. One iniiated with Socket for listening and the other multicast socket with datagram.
    However, I don't think I did it the right way?????
    one thread: skt = new ServerSocket(4446);
    broadcast thread:
    MulticastSocket socket = new MulticastSocket(4446);
    InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("230.0.0.1");
    socket.joinGroup(address);
    DatagramPacket packet;
    any suggestions?
    Any souce code for server and client?
    any documents, url?
    thanks
    andrew

    ServerSockets go with MulticastSockets like baloney and whip cream.
    ServerSockets are for connection-based sockets.
    MulticastSockets are for connection-less datagram sockets
    Pick one type based on your requirements and stick with it.
    Either ServerSockets and Sockets
    or MulticastSocket with MulticastSocket.

  • Clarification of Servlet Spec for forwarding and filters

    Hi everybody,
    I'm having a problem trying to use SiteMesh in WebLogic 9.1 vs Tomcat 5.5.17. The issue seems to come up because the two containers have different behavior when it comes to forwarding and filters.
    The scenario is this: A request comes in to a servlet, that servlet forwards to a JSP page using RequestDispatcher.forward(). The SiteMesh filter looks at request.getServletPath() after the chain has executed and determines whether or not to apply the decoration based on the path of the page. The filter's doFilter() method looks something like :
    chain.doFilter(request, response)
    if(request.getServletPath() = matchingPath)
        applyDecoration();
    }Now, in Tomcat, a call to request.getServletPath() before and after the call to chain.doFilter() returns the exact same thing, regardless of whether the target servlet executes a forward. But in WebLogic, the call to getServletPath() after chain.doFilter() returns the forwarded path, not the original path.
    Who is right? Or is this one of those gray areas?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Thanks for the info. You are correct, I was using 'forward'. I changed it to use 'sendRedirect' and this time the request goes via the filter. However, the request parameters that were in the original request have disappeared after the 'sendRedirect'. I could just add all the request parameters to the string I pass to sendredirect but was wondering if there was a better/simpler way.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    You may need to enable tcp/ip
    SQL Server Express listens on local named pipes and shared memory. With a default installation, you cannot remotely connect to SQL Server Express. You will need to enable TCP/IP and check if the firewall is enabled.
    To enable TCP/IP:
    From the Start menu, choose All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
    Optionally, you can open Computer Manager by right-clicking My Computer and choosing Manage. In Computer Management, expand Services and Applications, expand SQL Server Configuration Manager.
    Expand SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration, and then click Protocols for InstanceName.
    In the list of protocols, right-click the protocol you want to enable, and then click Enable.
    The icon for the protocol will change to show that the protocol is enabled.
    Cheers

  • How to define the order of GROUPBYs, JOINs and FILTERS in an interface?

    Hello,
    I would like to define an interface which implements the following logic:
    Give me a list of all customers with less then 2 orders in status = 'A'.
    SELECT C.Name, o.cnt
    FROM CUSTOMER C
    LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT cust_id, count(*) cnt FROM ORDERS WHERE status = 'A' GROUP BY cust_id) O
    ON C.cust_id = O.cust_id
    WHERE O.cnt < 2 OR O.cust_id IS NULL
    In this case, the right order of operations is essential:
    First apply filter, then group, then join, then apply the second filter.
    How can I define this in an ODI interface?
    Thanks in advance for any hints...
    Best regards,
    Karol

    Defining JOINs order :
    1 - Go in topology manager and verify that your technologie support the ISO ordered join ( left inner join ...)
    NB : by default Oracle data sources are configured with the old syntax ( ie : columns(+)=expr )
    - Open technology Oracle: Check SQL ISO
    - Go to the SQL tab
    - select "FROM" in the filter place
    - verify the join syntax
    2 - Define the alias order in the source table
    3 - Check the ordered join (ISO) and a num-order on the join operator
    Defining GROUPBYs and FILTERS orders seems to be impossible
    but you can create a mapping as a view and use this mapping as a source in an other one !

  • Re-linking Motion assets, templates and filters etc.

    Hi, can anyone help me with re-linking my Motion assets, templates and filters? They're currently stored on an external hard drive. I've now managed to upgrade my macbook pro HD and would like to have then on my internal HD. So which folders do I place them in and how do I link them to their new location so that Motion recognises them?
    Also I will have to do this for my whole Final Cut HD suite so will it be the same process for Soundtrack Pro, DVD studio pro and Livetype etc?
    Thank

    The locations are stored in the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.proapps.plist. If you don't have the developer tools installed, try something like PlistEdit Pro to open the file.

  • EasyDMS: New handling of layouts and filters

    Hi,
    in the past we deployed standard layouts and filters in EasyDMS via registry keys. Now there's a new option to store it in the backend (several tables e.g. EDMS_LAYOUT, EDMS_FILTER, etc.).
    However we've some troubles with these settings - example:
    We've defined default settings in EDMS_PREFS table. As soon as a user creates his own layout or filter the new values override the default - even if he just wants to create a new layout also the filter is gone.
    Does any body have some more details on this stuff? There are (almost) no OSS notes, there is no documentation, there's nothing mentioned in the release notes ...
    Thx

  • Is apple working on a fix so it plays nice with internet security and filtering programs?

    Question is in the title.

  • Why Adobe does not say that some plug-ins and filters on a 64-bit Apple computers do not work?

    I called assistance, and the only proposal that I have done was to make new installations, or create a new user.
    Then I found this article on the web!
    ..."Unfortunately, to accommodate the new programming code that allows for 64-bit processing, some plug-ins and filters—the built-in
    Variations and Lighting Effects, for example—only work in 32-bit mode, and that surely will disappoint some users. Moreover, most t
    hird-party plug-ins too will work only in 32-bit mode, until they are updated. Thankfully, it’s easy (though not especially convenie
    nt) to switch between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the program; just select the application icon, choose File->Get Info, turn o
    n the 32-bit option, and relaunch Photoshop."
    It is not a system so simple for a person working with photoshop files very large (Over 6/7 GB). You lose several minutes of time.
    The tests carried out then the difference in performance from 64 to 32 Bit is 40-50% faster in 64 bit mode. This is also why the 64-bit version you can assign more memory.
    Someone from Adobe can answer?
    Then, to conclude.
    But the icons of some new palette of photoshop could not make it more beautiful and not ugly and unpleasant?

    You not hearing it doesn’t mean Adobe didn’t say it.
