Another slow speed question !

Hi all, trying to find out why such as slow speed.  I live about 1/4 mile from the exchange.  Have phoned BT 2 weeks ago who said an engineer will look in to it, but not heard anything  as yet.  So was trying to see if its a prob within the house.  We only have the 1 socket in the house.
Thanks for any help or ideas .

Surprise surprise, yep on a fixed line 512.  First guy i spoke to at sales said he hadn't heard of a half meg contract, then i said a FL 512 and he said "oh, i'll just have a look for you " came back and said he would transfer me to another sales dept who might be able to sort out a new contract.  Next guy, when i told him the situation and the FL512 he said " yeah, thats exactally what you've got ".  Sorted a new deal and hopefully  should be getting 7.5mb next week.  So i hope i wont be back here next week !
Thanks for your help

  • Yet another slow speed thread....

    Every so often I have issues with the speeds pertaining to my two BT Broadband lines into my house.
    So here we go again, I've problems with one of the lines which for my rural village location usually nets very good results...
    Normally I get this :-
    Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 3072 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 2332 kbps
    Presently I'm getting:-
    Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 1344 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 1000 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 878 kbps
    Why I ask does the speed keep changing, today BT India claims it's a line CHOKE problem, likely story.
    Net result wait another 48 hours for another phone call.
    I get these issues every 6 months or so, I suspect the grass wouldn't be any greener with other ISP.
    Can anybody offer any thoughts?

    No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
    Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

  • Another "slow" EBS question

    Hello experts.
    Yesterday I received a call from frustrated user that theEBS system was "slow". After asking the usual questions -
    when does the slowness become an issue (middle of day)
    does it affect everyone (yes) and all modules (yes)
    are there any specific screen errors (none)
    I decided it must be a problem with the database. I then made the following checks:
    processes on server
    errors in alert log
    files space and tablespace
    queried v$session_longops (nothing obvious) and v$session
    ran statspack: Top 5 Waits:
    free buffer waits
    db file sequential read
    db file scattered read
    buffer busy waits
    CPU time
    checked to see if any long running or errored cc requests - none
    reviewed Apache and JServ logs and nothing to report
    I spoke again to customer today who said that maybe there are users who, instead of querying the Reporting Database, are actually hitting the Production database directly with long running reporting queries.
    How can I identify long running queries (each time I hit the v$session_longops view I could see nothing obviously expensive in terms of time).
    How can I see which SQL statements are costing the database? (the end of this post is from the statspack, but Im not sure it can help - I need to know SID and SERIAL# of the query to find user, I think?)
    In essense, I need to go to the client and say "this SQL is costing you" - but I am struggling how to do it.
    Please help, if you can.
    Thank,

  • Apologies, another slow speed issue...

    Hi guys, had a few issues recently, used the call centre, and had a engineer visit, when he left i was getting around 3MBps, i thought my issues had been rectified, but there seems to be a constant de-tuning of my speed (option 1 -up2 20mb) I realise that im quite far from the exchange (3km + 15 000 users) but a usable speed just to view web pages and the occasional vid would be nice, the below results are at peak times so...........
    Any answers apreciated (in simple terms)

  • I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try slower speed, try another make of disc"  Still doesn't work

    I can no longer burn CDs  - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try a slower speed, try another make of disc"  Tried that, still doesn't work.

    Try a free burning utility which allows you to turn off the laser for test burning (so you don't waste media).  Try burning a test CD outside of iTunes.  If it works it's iTunes. If it doesn't work it could be computer software or hardware but then we know how to proceed.

  • Another one with slow speeds - sorry!

    We have been BT BB customers for years and have been fine most of the time. We are supplied by an ADSL max exchange and we are about 1.5 miles away. In the last few days my download speeds are VERY variable sometimes taking minutes to load a page if at all, sometimes fine. 
    We have a Home Hub 3 with a master socket fitted with an i-plate, microfilters to all sockets were replaced last year.
    I'm a bit clueless (better since I've been stalking on this board for the last few days)
    Quiet test is - well quiet. No crackles, hisses or anything added.
    I.m not aware of any connection drops, I do admit to one reset press. and there have been a couple of episodes of disconnection to attach to the test socket. 
    I have a fault reported with BT who say the problem is with my internal equipment and private engineer booked to fit me a ADSL service specific faceplate and trace my fault but TBH the price quoted might be more than I can afford so if you guys can help me I'd be very, very pleased. 
    Thank you in advance

    If my speeds are fine using the master socket - do I assume that the BT fault finder was right and my internal wiring/kit is at fault in that speeds are slow when using the normal front plate socket.
    Dumb question - can I not just stay plugged into the test socket as that works well, (apart from not being able to use the landline phone) 
    Dumb question 2 do you need to know what the ADSL stats when im experiencing slow speeds - this was a snapshott this afternoon using a different speedchecker

  • Slow Speeds, Poor Service (Yes.. this is a rant)

    As per the title: 
    I've had about enough of Verizon, and it's trash line quality and equally as terrible technical support.
    9 months ago, my wife and I ordered a dry-loop DSL installation. We spent roughly 2-3 weeks awaiting a technician, to make the installation (which included a home installation for a splitter on a walljack), and throughout those 2-3 weeks, the technician insisted he was at our home, and no one was here. Thing is, we have 3 dogs, who go nuts when anyone approaches our driveway, let alone comes to our front door. The technician who was dispatched, was full of it; simple as that.
    We ended up canceling our order, and per the recommendation of a customer support rep (via phone), we placed a NEW order, for home phone + DSL installation (according to the rep, dry loop was "difficult".. lol.. really!?), and the rep "promised" we'd have a different technician dispatched and the previous one would be "reported" to a supervisor.
    Much to our surprise, the new technician actually arrived a week later, on time, and completed the installation in a timely manner (and was as polite as could be). During the installation, he informed my wife and I, that the rep who claimed the dry loop installation was "difficult", was being dishonest; which we already knew, but it showed that the guy had some integrity, and was at the least, honest.
    About 2 months later, we couldn't tolerate the slow speeds any longer. Our package guranteed at LEAST a 1Mb connection, with speeds up to 3Mb (which is the package we ordered), but we consistently received less than 500Kbps, often times less than 200, or even 100. Once again, we had to request a technician, but this time, for a "home run" installation (which eliminates all wiring between our modem/router and the telephone pole). Thankfully, we received the same technician who performed the installation 2 months prior, and during the installation, I asked what HIS opinion was of the issue. He claimed it was just the lines, and that the "hub" at the end of our street, needed an upgrade to support our connection. 
    It has been SEVEN months, and Verizon has yet to address the obvious TRASH line quality, that I've invested $80+ into a month, and never received anything over 1Mb. Which brings me to:
    Verizon's Copy/Paste Speciailists (aka "Technical Support")
    My last conversation with a tech support agent, has thoroughly convinced me that Verzion is incapable of caring about their customers. The blind stupidity of this agent was befuddling! I mean, the guy actually told me to reboot my router while I was chatting with him ONLINE! 
    Quite frankly, if Verzion would stop using third-world call centers who hire people with a lack of comprehension in the English language, maybe customers would receive better support. I've had my fill of speaking to insensate, uneducated dimwits who Copy > Paste all of their pregenerated responses, that never result in a resolution. 
    Simply put, Verizon is by far, thee worst ISP in central Pennsylvania, and they'd do well by the decent, average, hard-working citizen to simply pull out of the area and allow more legitimate companies to get a foothold here. It's pathetic, that I've gotten to the point that I literally go out of my way, to encourage friends and family to avoid Verizon's services, at any cost. I've actually footed an installation fee for a friend who had to pay a fee to have service extended to his area, by another ISP. 
    The general synopsis of this wall of text, is that for 9 months, I've endured outrageous prices, for speeds worse than dial-up, all the while tolerating foreign technical support that left me in a blind rage after each encounter. If it weren't for the several obligations I have, that require me to maintain internet service, I'd have canceled my account with Verizon MONTHS ago, and purchased service elsewhere. But unfortunately, the money-grubbing company that is Verizon, has a monopoly in my county, and a belligerent chokehold on their customers. I absolutely despise Verizon, and wouldn't mind seeing them file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Ever wonder where the money in our economy has gone? Check Verizon's finances - they rob their customers blind.

     -snip-
    Send me a PM. I'd like to get to the bottom of this without going through the nonsense tech support puts you through. If you're supposed to be at 1Mbps, I'm going to get you to 1Mbps. I'm on a 1Mbps line and it's unacceptable for my line to fall below that. When it does, I've got contacts who fix it on the spot, no questions asked. I understand if 15Mbps is a problem to maintain on a legacy network, but not 1Mbps, a bread and butter tier on a bread and butter network.
    Oh, did I say I got Verizon to fix a congestion issue for a small town nearby me just recently? Had several people ask me about it. All coming off of common equipment, spoke to a few people, took 20 minutes, and those lines are behaving unusually well from what I've heard so far. Still some work to do but I've been working on making sure it gets fixed.

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

    If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
    PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

  • Slow speeds. Apparently I don't have a bt broadban...

    After using bt's own e-form to email them about my long running loss of speed over the year from 2.6mb for the last say 10 years, to 1.6mb (1.4mb at its lowest) download / 0.36 up. ping latency around 0.38 i think, apart from today where its 42.25!! what's that?!
    All I've got back so far is:
    "Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support centre. Below is a summary of your request and our response.
    If this issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may reopen it within the next 14 days.
    Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. " ....and....
    "This is in regards to the e-mail you have send on 20th August 2014. We are sorry to inform you that there is no sufficient information in the e-mail to pull up any active broadband account. We would request you to provide the details of your broadband account so that we can pull up the account and help you further."
    Just to be clear, their OWN e-form didn't have enough information for them to find my account??? It asks for my name, address, phone number my broadband is on, email address, my account number (assume its the BT account as that's all I have), plus the problem. What else can I type in if there's no other fields.
    So I submitted the form. A couple of days later I got an email back with the above included in it.
    1. Why automatically close the call? They hadn't resolved anything, so why close it? The only other thing they mentioned was going onto their Help pages (durr how did i manage to use their e-form in the first place?).
    2. No mention of what these missing "details" are. (On purpose?)
    So I replied and being a little annoyed at their poor response,  which just sounds like "yep dealt with that call within the response time target I got to make". 
    I've had BT broadband since its inception, even before, but they cannot find my account? Amazing they can bill me each quarter without any problems. So I sent my bt account number again even thought it was included in the e-form. Asked them clearly to tell me what "details" of my broadband account they need from me. More than happy to oblige. Oh, and no I'm not satisfied with their resolution and re-open the call!!
    So some more days have now passed and guess what. I get an email with the exact same text!!
    I replied. In CAPITAL LETTERS for the hard of hearing. What specific details do you want from me?
    I wait in baited breath.
    OMG I haven't even got onto the problem of the slow speed issue yet!
    I guess they want me to phone (premium 0800 number?), or do something myself. I don't want to phone them as I've experienced the same ol' routine before, life's too short. I've paid the top price for ever, so I would think they could do some of the leg work eh? I mean part of the cost is the support they provide, right? How do you lose a broadband account? 
    It niggles me is that I pay same price infinity customers do and I'm still stuck in the dial-up speed ages. And don't get me on about those tv ads. Like everyone can get infinity. Yeah I'm still waiting after 5 years that it was coming. Amazing the Isles of Scilly with about 10 people living on there manage to get it quicker than me living in a town in the middle of the UK. I digress...
    If I can do a speed test from both their bt.com site and btwholesale speed test and get a poor speed (approx 1.8 max) from exchange to router then I know by the time it gets to my pc its not going to be 2.6 is it.
    PS i don't have a master socket/test socket to try. its the old type. And why has the speed just dropped and kept down (like for so many others in this forum), where nothing has changed, at least at the customers end of the line.
    I don't expect someone in the forum to come up with the solution, but its more of a rant on my part at the poor response to my request, let alone some kind of investigation into the problem itself.
    I work in "IT" and part of it is dealing with calls from customers. If I had dealt with a call like BT had then I'd be getting a ear bashing from my manager.
    Solved!

  • Slow speeds, almost dead, can't figure out what's ...

    Hi all, I've had very slow speeds from my homehub for almost a week. I've tried a factory reset on the hub to no avail. I also spoke to technical support in India I think, but they were no help.
    When I perform a speed check the speed from the exchange to my house is fine, it's after that it dies a death.
    I've checked all cables and it is not cabling after the hub as this problem effects internet tv's that are connected via ethernet cable and others that are wireless and also tablets that work on wifi.
    In the last week I have had download speeds as low as 0.03 and for only a few hours last Monday has it been OK all of a sudden. I presumed a fix elsewhere but the problem came back an hour or two later.
    At the moment we can't use iplayer, youtube and every webpage takes ages to load. It's quite horrible. 
    Has anyone got any idea's what could be wrong and are there any diagnostic tests I can run on the hub to see if it's borked.

  • Slow speed/high SNR margin after upgrade to ADSL2+...

    I have an issue with slow speed that I am suspecting is caused by a high SNR margin (about 12dB) which has come about (I believe) due to the fact that my router was repeatedly reset during the first few days of the upgraded service. The exchange was upgraded to ADSL2+ on 3rd January.
    I have a US Robotics 9108 which has worked fine for nearly six years. I was getting around 8Mbps before the upgrade which isn't far off the theoretical maximum.
    There was a problem with my router and I only found it to be my router at fault over the last few days. Upgrading its firmware has cured the problem which was that requests weren't being fulfilled once connection had been established, (seemingly particularly when this was ADSL2+ or ADSL2 mode). Consequently, I reset my router in these instances and I believe that this will have been interpretted by the exchange as being due to line noise. In general, I disabled ADSL2 and 2+ modes on my router to force it back to G.DMT and it usually worked fine (albeit slow sync rate relative to that I had before 3rd January).
    During fault conditions, the connection synced OK. I recently borrowed a router and tried it and it immediately connected faster than mine had done previously and I could access the web without issue. This confirmed that my US Robotics was at fault, and after downloading its latest firmware, it fixed the problem.
    There is no bell wire as there are no hard wired extensions from the master socket. I use a single filter which plugs directly into the master socket (i.e. no extension lead to the filter).
    I was using a BT filter (MF50) I got in 2004 when I first got broadband. This came with a Voyager 100 modem and is a rebranded YCL one. I have since replaced this with a Z350-UK which I have borrowed. The US Robotics didn't come with any filters.
    With the BT filter, caller display does not work at all when the router is connected in ADSL2 mode. In G.DMT mode the problem with caller display was intermittent. The Z350-UK has rectified the problem with caller display not working when in ADSL2 mode. I have ordered a Pressac Interstitial VDSL Faceplate as a perminant solution.
    Do I need to contact the support helpline to get this fixed? Or will the SNR margin drop over time? As I say, I got around 8Mbps before the upgrade.
    I am presently connected in 2+ mode and stats are:
    SNR margin (dB):
    12.8 
    5.4 
    Attenuation (dB):
    34.0

  • Very slow speeds and ridiculous email and bill for...

    Hi 
    i have several issues. I have been a very satisfied customer for over 15 years until early summer of this year:
    1. My broadband speeds remain painfully slow despite 3 complaints and investigations. In fact my line is still connected to the test line as I was advised to do and I have never had a call back as promised.
    2. I have now received an email message to say I have used 90gb at a cost of £50. This is almost all uploads. i upload nothing and this figure is impossible. Until June my usage was quite small and I came nowhere near my limit on option 2. Nothing has changed with my usage since then. I do not download or stream films and do not upload large quantities. I probably would stream films, but the slow speed does not allow it.
    3. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to sort this out today, but was not helped by a succession of people who barely understood the situation and had even less understanding of customer service. I have now emailed, but have had a message saying it might be 72 hours before a reply.
    Any advice would be really helpful as I am at my wits end
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok....since the original post the problem has continued. I have spent literally hours on the phone to people who say all the same things and never come up with a solution.
    The test results are below. I do not experience speeds as reported. And if I use another tester it correctly comes out as about 1 4 - 1.9. or even lower. The upload usage is still showing as high....but it is just not possible. I have now reset the hub wireless key, but I have not shared this with anyone in range. Apple TV is now disconnected after it was going to take 20 hours to download a film!
    I am at my wits end with this and really do not want the hassle of changing provider but even after 20 years BT broadband I am so very close to that.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Julie

  • Another Yosemite speed issue

    This is yet another Yosemite speed issue. I've done some reading around and read the FileVault can cause an issues, I took a look and I've always have FileVault disabled.  I installed EtreCheck and the results came up with a lot of RED and "FAILED". Unfortunately, I have no clue how to being to read this and was hoping someone could shed some light onto this for me.
    Here are my results: (Just trying to right-click and paste this took almost a minute)
    Problem description:
    Installed OS X Yosemite and now Macbook runs extremely slow. I have had FileVault disabled the entire time.
    EtreCheck version: 2.0.11 (98)

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
