Advice re the 'three day wait' for speed re-set pl...

I've had on-going issues with ADSL and phone line for months. Eight engineer visits now - various parts of the internal and external wiring replaced - now completely new socket, drop-line, BT filter, the works.
B/band is plugged directly into main socket, and we have no extensions connected.
Latest engineer visit was yesterday, and a fault tracked to 513 metres away - engineer and a mate fixed a 'fault in a joint', and got a note through the door (I'd left by then) from the BT openreach team saying 'hopefully fault has cleared'.
Got an automated text form BT asking me to please wait up to three days for broadband speed to get up to normal.
Noisy phone line has certainly now gone, and we're not getting b/band 'drop-outs' as before, but VERY slow. 0.2BMs or thereabouts. Now I like a bit of nostalgia as much as the next guy, but I don't really want to return to the days of dial-up!
So the question, please, is can we really expect things to improve over the next couple of days if it's as slow as this? On the good days, we used to get 12MBs regularly. I miss it... I'm just concerned that if it's as slow as this there is still a fault somewhere, and I might need to crack on and go the the laborious process of convincing the people on the phone that I need another engineer visit.
Thanks.

it is possible that your line is now recovering from all the drops in connection including the work done by the engineer so
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
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

  • How can I remove the 90 day wait until I can use a new Apple ID on iTunes?

    I recently bought a like new MacBook Pro Retina that only had 16 battery cycles. It was sold to the person I bought it from in March 2013. he sent me the original receipt from the Apple store also.I contacted Apple and they helped me set up a new Apple Admin. account under my name and password. I purchased the extended Applecare under my name for this computer. All is ok there. It is running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 OS and it allowed me to do iPhoto update today.
    I authorized the computer under iTunes and next to it said 83 days before I could use my Apple ID? I unauthorized the computers on my iTunes account for the three under them to clear them off. I reauthorized the MacBook Pro and it seems ok on the MacBook Pro. I went on my Windows laptop and the MacBook Pro was there with the 83 days wait again. So I took it off. Do I have to wait 83 days to use my Apple ID on this computer? I backed up my two iPads on iTunes today and that was fine as it showed them under devices. I am confused.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each was associated to your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days are remaining before your associated devices or computers can be associated to a different Apple ID.
    Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
    To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
    Open iTunes.
    Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
    Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
    From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
    Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.

  • Always need Disconnect power, press the power button wait for 10 seconds...

    I bought a HP computer for a couple of years ( Pavilion a6695it  ) It always works well. But in recent days, I can not start up it. I tried pressed power button on the front of the computer, nothing happend. Then I searched in hp site. finnally, I find this article http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00241069&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=it&dlc=it&lc...
    In english version the article is here: 
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph06788&cc=us&destPage=document&lc=en&product=3...
    Power supply light is on or flashes
    Perform the following steps, in order, until power is restored or it is determined that there is a hardware failure:
    CAUTION:This product contains components that are easily damaged by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a non-carpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface (like a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to a grounded surface, like the metal frame of a PC.
    Disconnect everything from the computer, including the power cord.
    With the power cord disconnected , press the power button on the front of the computer and wait for ten seconds.
    This is work for me. But now, my computer always need this methond that it can be started up.
    Disconnect power -> press the power button and wait for ten seconds -> then the system will  start up
    So my question: where is the problem? Which part is broken and i should replace? Thanks.

  • Process Chains Always Hangs at the second step waiting for an event

    Gents;
    all BI process chains created in Production system are always hanging in the second step waiting for an event RSPROCESS with a certain parameter. This issue is happening for all process chains in Production system and it is not happening for the same in other systems in the landscape (development, Copy of porudction, quality and so on). I tried to trigger the event manually using SM62 but the job is always stick to status " released". the same thing was replicated in other systems and the job status has changed and the process was completed.
    Any idea what might cause this issue??
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You said that this thing is happening only in production system.Try doing the following checks :
    1.Check SM21to see if there are any red entries.It can be possible that there is some data base RFC connection failure.While checking SM21, make sure you give proper selection condition.If there are any red entries, you may take the help of basis guys to understand the type of failure.May be file system has got some problems.
    2.Check St22 and try to analyse if any short dumps.
    3.Try to check Connection with the source system ( Goto RSA1->source system tab->right click on the source system and select check option to find if any errors in the connection.
    4.If possible, try to load manually in some other info provider.
    Thanks,

  • Why the 2 year wait for chase sapphire?

    Why is Chase saying you have to wait 2 years before you can be approved or be able to apply for the Sapphire card? I realize for the part of too many applications biut that seems somewhat ridiculous. Any thoughts?

I app'd like mad person so I have a  load of inquiries. That is my situation. Read above it might not be 2 years for you.
    Ahh okay...well I guess I could understand how that would be with the 10 Chase cards...espeically in a short period of time. Seems like they would percieve that as a lot of exposure to one person I suppose...To add to this, a month or twoish ago, Chase started throwing down the hammer and handing out denials where multiple people were told the reason was because they had 5 tradelines from other lenders in the past 2 years.  I didn't follow it closely enough but it seemed like might be any 5 tradelines including Chase. Long debate on some threads on it, if you search think original author was Yes-Its-Me in the most discussed; however, while this hasn't held apparently for everyone, it's evident Chase has done a fairly significant overhaul on their underwriting on their primary non-co-brand cards.   Even limited spreers like myself will have to probably be a little more restrained, and I never have gone over 4 tradelines in a single spree before, though I may start soon as mortgage closes heh.  I don't fall afoul of their current UW no fly zone (miss it by 4 months) and I do have a decent relationship with Chase, but we'll see as I may be skirting the lines between some new tradelines in the past 2 years and a slew of inquiries from the mortgage process; hopefully they're smart enough to ignore that or I'm good enough to be able to recon that away if it happens. Given that the average number of cards held by the typical American consumer is less than 5, it's not a bad policy for a lender to institute though it kicks a number of us to the curb for a while... have to really want it and strategize it's acquisition now whereas before it just wasn't that challenging to acquire.

  • New To The Forum And Looking For Speed Help!

    Hello, After trying to find information about my problem on the Internet and then speaking to the BT Indian Call Centre, I stumbled upon this forum. I am hoping, having looked at so many helpful comments and contributions, that I might be able to shed some light upon my connection speed issue. I have had a very pleasing and stable Internect connection speed of nearly 8Mb. However, I recently moved my router to the Master socket in the house which was better positioned to give a good WiFi signal throughout my house. However, when I have plugged in the router and booted it up, I can only connect at just over 4Mb regardless of what I try. I know I am at risk of sounding a touch ungrateful here because there are many more people with bigger problems than I but I would be very grateful for some advice / assisitance as to why my problem might have occurred and how I might regain my previous speed. Thank you in advance for any help! Cheers.

  • 5 days waiting for technician who doesn't show on time

    I have had no dial tone for 5 days.  On day one I set up for a technician to come out which I couldn't get an appointment for 5 days later.  I set the time frame up for 8am to 12pm on a Saturday.  I wasn't too happy about having to get up early on a Satruday but if it meant my phone would get fixed I figured it was worth it.  So today, Saturday, the day the techinician was suppose to arrive between 8am and 12pm, didn't show.  When I checked with Verizon they said it would be between 1pm and 2pm.  2pm came and went, no technician.  Then was told by 3pm, that came and went; no techinican.  Now they 4pm.  Seriously, it is Saturday.  Do you think I have nother better to do all day then to sit around and wait when I could be running errands?  Why don't you just say we will get there whenever we feel like and you will just have to sit there and wait on us.

    File a complaint with the FCC.  That's what I am about to do.

    It would be best for you to open iTunes, sign in and view your account. If all the purchases were paid already instead of entering your new card information, it will give you an option for "NONE" as a payment method. Again this is not applicable of you have a pending charges with iTUnes

    We are having printing issues with Adobe Acrobat X or Xi Standard and or Professional on client PCs running Windows 7 32 Bit OS.
    If we open a PDF file and request a printed copy Adobe crashes. If we open the documnet and wait 10 seconds before printing the document it prints perfectly well and Adobe does not crash.
    What is causing this problem?  I haved tried to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Pro but this does not fix the problem.
