Advice and or Clarification of Product

Good Afternoon
Firstly i am new here , so hello to all :-)
I am based in a small town in the north of Scotland called Dingwall
I am a current BT Broadband customer and i have the Option 3 package ( unlimited broadband use / free evening weekend calls etc ) and my line speed will only be maximum of 8MB this was what i was advised when i asked BB customer support.
I have been using the service for around 1 year now and although i have never questioned it i am seeing some very slow speeds duriing peak times , i use the internet for various things ( gaming / downloading / streaming / browsing etc ).
When i say very slow i am talking about 1MB or less during peak times, i am currently at work and have only just found this forum so dont have screen shots etc to hand but would still like some confirmation as to what i could expect from my package.
Also just to clarify out with peak times , i get upto 800Kbs download which seems a little more like BBand as opposed to what i get the rest of the time , i am classing peak times from 16.00 - 00.00 and out with 00.00 till around 10.00.
My thoughts on this are (i used to work for BTOpenworld when it first launched on the helpdesk based in Alness ) it could be contention ratio it was some time ago since i worked there around 8 - 9 years but i recall home lines being 50 - 1 and business 20 - 1 , thats my conclusion but i would very much like someone on here to jump in and put me right in terms of my assumptions. ( i am very aware there are many factors that could influence my connection speed ) 
I dont think 1MB is acceptable even during peak times , esp when my firend also based in Dingwall has recently moved from BT to TalkTalk and is getting 16MB during peak times.
I would say i am around 1 / 1.5 miles from major exhange in Dingwall but i have been told there are many sub-exchanges so perhaps i am being routed through them hence my problem.
anyways i'll stop going on now and wait for someone to repsond.
Kind Regards
Peter

  • What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

    HI Friends
    What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
    What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
    Regards

    Hi,
    SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
    Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
    The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
    These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
    To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle – from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

  • SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help

          
    SharePoint 2013 Snippets usage advice and help  
    I am new to SharePoint Site development.  I am creating a simple public website to look similar to their old one.
    I have created a masterpage that looks OK using the design manager, and also a page layout. I have got the website looking half OK.
    I seem to have difficulties all the time when it comes to snippets - and finding specific help on how to use each individual one.
    So the main question - where would you advise I go to get help?
    The current snippet issue is:
      > regarding to top navigation menu
      > I have inserted one into the masterpage - and got it working
      > However it will not let me do submenus when I go into Edit Links
      > But I then went to site settings and did the edit links from there
      > It let me there - but it's a different menu !! (I now have two)
      > I can't see this second menu from within the snippets - it defaults to one that does not allow sub menus
      > So how do I change the snippet to look at the menu I was able to edit
    But more generally - when I get this kind of issue, where to I look for the solution?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hi Mike,

    I am having a issue installing Adobe Acrobat XI.  I am running Windows 8.1. When  go to install it gets an error.  The error is with transform in registry and will not install product. I am looking at how I can fix this registry problem.
    I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014.  I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed. 

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

  • Family sharing if you don't want to constantly update your devices and make your apple products redundant

    Hi everyone,
    My kids have taken over our older Apple devices - i.e. iPhone and iPad - and have currently got our old stuff, apps, emails etc on their devices. I want to start these devices on a fresh start - although they've got a selected few apps that they say would be a disaster to start up again if we deleted everything.
    If I go for family sharing, I believe everything has to be IOS 8 or better (probably IOS 9 tomorrow and IOS 10 the day after tomorrow - argh...). But if I upgrade the older devices (if they can upgrade at all!), they will be awfully slow or not work at all...
    Apple shop recently suggested me an alternative: to buy vouchers for my kids and set-up a new apple-ID for them on each device as an alternative, although I don't have control over their purchases, but once the voucher has been used, there won't be any more purchases - only free stuff downloaded. So I don't need the kind of control that family sharing has.
    All I want them to have is face-time and an own apple-ID on their devices - and let i.e. my sons FIFA15 app continue as he's been building his team for months on "my" old iPad before he took it over himself.
    However, now I cannot set up a new apple-ID because there's no more me.com and I can't create an apple ID for them as they are too young...argh (again!) - (did I mention that argh is my favourite apple-expression the latest few years? Bring back the old times please....!).
    What to do?
    Yes, I know - go to the apple shop and give them more of my cash to get brand new devices that needs updating and replacement in a year and throw away the old devices and pollute the world further. I would get family sharing going yes, but I would also be a lot poorer and feel like a fool for buying more apple gear.
    Any other alternative - using what we've already got?
    Stop apple from constantly updating and requiring upgrades of products and inventing new stuff....? It drives me nuts - but probably I wouldn't get away with that suggestion either...
    Sorry for my alt-modisch view on all this or if any of my sarcastic apple comments are putting any of you off. Appreciate any feedback or ideas from you guys.

    No replies to this one?
    Come on guys - whoever still likes apple products - come to their defence and show that Apple isn't totally rubbish after all????
    Sarcasm aside, much appreciated if you have any tips for me...

    My new ipod touch is not recognised in itunes or Windows 7 on any of my computers/laptops.  I've followed the online advice and still no luck.  Help much appreciated!

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • How to use the selection profile and status profile for production order?

    Hi expert,
       I want to know how to use the selection profile and status profile for production order. what's the usage for these two selection profile and status profile ?
      Please help me.
      thanks in advance.
      george.shi

    Hi George,
    There are are two types of statuses.One is system status and second one is user status.These statuses will tell us current situation of an order.
    We can't change system statuses.But we can create our own statuses through status profile.With this profile we can control user statuses.
    In this status profile,
    1.We define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated,
    2.We define initial statuses
    3. Allow or prohibit certain business transactions.
    Selection profiles are used to select the objects (say production orders) with different status combinations.We assign status profiles to selection profiles in BS42 T-Code.
    Regards,
    Raja.

    Hello, it's been 5 days now since my imessage has not working..and i have chatted to the costumer for two times. I took thier advice and instructions just to enable to send and receive on it but unfortunately until now its still NOT working. Is there anybody who could help me please?

    Try this even if you have already.  Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
    Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.  If your not signed in then that will work as well.
    Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup.  Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
    After the iPad has been restarted:
    Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
    Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
    Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again.  Same instructions as above.
    When you restart you should be able to use messages again.  If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have.
