Broad Band /Speeds and contacts??
Hi Newby poster here first time. I appear to have spoken to every nationallity and country in the the universe over the last month with regards to me chasing up a speed fault with my deal with BT, I think I have finally got in touch with "their Expert's" in Exeter and english spoken they appear to be a service to BT only looking at speeds, and know nothing about any exchange problems that may exist, when I asked why Open reach were at the exchange in force ( 3 vans) they had no Idea, I came across this youtube vid still denighed any fault, we have had an artical two weeks running in the local rag and an report on BBC scotland national news last week, but still no fault?? speed tests vary from 1.4 Mbps to 7.89 Mbps now settled down to some 6.1 Mbps and still checking but denigh any fault???

These are the speeds at present prior to this they were as low as 0.5o Mbps and next test 7.1 Mbpson second hub now 03 model, speed problem was on three 3 diffrent PC's in the house so was not a PC fault, spoke to a diffrent person every time contact waas made relating to this fault sent the wrong hub this sent back that helped the fault as it got better when the 3 van's all left the exchange ( I can look out the window and see the small exchange ) again look out the window to see some 25-30 people being filmed ( see youtube vid ) , all I would like to know is how does a customer convince BT that they have a fault? I know they have a fault, the engineers know they have a fault, all the people in the exchange area know that they have a fault, surely you do not have to have a complete detailed summery of all the comunications between BT and myself with regards to this fault, I am not asking for the fault to be repaired with luck this has been done with the work that has been carried out at the said exchange, all I asked was HOW DOES A CUSTOMER CONVINCE BT THERE IS A FAULT??? if this is too difficult then I must be at the wrong Fourm,

I have been with Bt for many years and I asked for a free up grade I am on Unltd b/band package and have had the router hub 3 for the last 4 years + and not sure why the will not upgrade me for free
I have stared to look round for asimmlar pacage and will need to look as money is not easy comming these days and with all the showing of Jan sales ?If there is nothing wrong with your present homehub and it is doing everything you want it to do without problems I would be wary of upgrading. Have a look through the forums for problems with the homehub 4 & 5.
The only real "advantage" with the HH4 and 5 is they use AC technology and are dualband.
There is no point in going for a HH5 if you do not have Infinity. The HH4 does the same job but does not have the built in VDSL modem which the HH5 has for Infinity use.
If you re-contract you will probably be offered a HH4 for the cost of postage but if you don't re-contract they will only sell you one and in my opinion you could probably get a better third party router cheaper. -

Re the previous comment my problem is that I am getting 4mb at the socket (the latest one) as confirmed by the 3 engineers who turned up, but am getting less than 1mb through the router
I could accept this if the exchange was only feeding 1mb to the socket but its not. Up until June this year I received the higher rate (circa 4mb) and nothing else has changed so why am I being restricted to less than 1mb now?
If you think that less than 1mb is acceptable try downloading complex legal documents and drawings .Someting is wrong with the perception of this service if that is acceptable. It is clear that this is an universal problem judging by the no of posts on this site -
When installed about 7 months ago i was getting speed around 15mb/s in the last 2 weeks it has dropped to 7mb/s when i do a speed check and upload of 1.4mb/s
Any reason this has happened?Keith_Beddoe wrote:

When I saw your slow speed, I assumed it was an ADSL connection. I will move this thread to the Infinity board, where the Infinity experts reside.
Wish I had a slow upload speed of 1.4Mbps on ADSL
Anyway on to helping
We need to see your IP Profile, follow these steps to get it.
1. Go to www.speedtester.bt.com
2. Click on ADSL & FTTC (Fibre to the cabinet) diagnostics)
3. Enter your telephone number, leave service ID blank (not required)
4. Click submit, confirm your telephone number when prompted
5. Let it test your broadband connection
6. Copy the download and upload results including the IP Profiles for both

Novatel u720 sprint broad band card
Hi I bought a u720 broad band card by sprint . I tried but cant get it to work with my mac book pro.I need help to get to broad band.
The EVDO forums is quite helpful in this area. The company that supports these forums sells the cards (including the Novatel u720 sprint broad band card) and supports them for Mac. They will sell you the card and Sprint service ($60/month), activate the card and send it to yo with mac drivers ready to go.
Seems like a much better deal than no support from Sprint.

G4 400 & PB G4 400 Mac OS X (10.3.9) -
I have a very strange problem after BT provided me with a new Home Hub 3.0 as a solution to my complaint that the Broad Band connection kept disappearing. First of all they told me that there was a line problem between the exchange and my home and then they provide a new hub as a solution......how does that work. Now the Home Hub identified speed (see below) is very good but the ? error seconds ? appear to be very high. When (and if) I can do a Speed Test and/or Ping test it randomly varies between 8-10 Mbits per sec and an A rating and not having enough web throughput to be able to do the test. What is happening here.......good throughputs but very bad line or line destabilization because the up to 8 Mbits (I used to get 5-6 Mbits) has now jumped to up to 20 Mbits (my homehub says I am getting around 10 Mbits but I still have very slow web browsing and page loading).

Notes:
The Download
Speed is the average rate that was achieved during this
test.
Notes:Your line is configured to the maximum rate that it can support or at your
chosen fixed rate, this is known as the line rate and would be viewed through
your CPE software or in your router configuration.
Your IP profile is always less than the line rate and is normal on any
network.
The Upstream Test rate figure quoted will always be smaller than the assured
rate profile. This is because in order for the throughput to reach its
destination, it requires an overhead which explains the difference between the
two.
Notes:
If your download
speed lies in this range then your connection seems to be working
fine.

Over the last few weeks I have had massive problems with noise issues on the phone at the same time my broadband keeps timing out.
I phoned BT who asked me to speak up over the phone because of the noise, they then checked the line and told me nothing wrong it must be your phone. So I bought a brand new phone and then tried again same again you have a hissing noise and I can hear faint noise of people speaking, then a loud click and the phone line goes dead.
At the same time as this my broadband keep taking ages to connect to anything it just goes on and on and on before telling me it's timed out, this is a long going issue, a few weeks ago it was suggested I try a cheaper method of broadband because it may be better, I agreed so long as it worked better, I lost all contact and could not get on to any site.
I contacted BT who told me today a line check it always came back OK.
Then I was told to take the front of the box off at the phone connection to look if the wires were connected I refused so they said you must have a bad phone so I bought another one, second one, still same problem.
I phoned BT 150 to get through to India who complained they could not hear me through the noise twice then I get cut off. After I phoned again they came up with another great idea I buy another phone.
I now started to lose my temper and asked to be put through so I could close my account while speaking to this nice lady who tried to help my phones line goes dead, phone up again get through to somebody else who says he will look into this, bang the line goes dead. I get a phone call saying they have looked at the line nothing wrong with it and he says he cannot hear any issues with the line. At the same time my Broad band starts to work.
So I get told they will phone me back to see if my line is fixed after three weeks of a nightmare with my phone and my broad band I'm tired to say the least, worse I do not like being made to look like a fool.
If there is issues with the line I expect people to say OK we will look at it fix it, not you may have to pay £99 to have an engineer look at it.
Being disabled my phone is my life line so is my broadband.hi checking the phone in the test socket will eliminate any internal wiring problems and if the noise is still there then you would not be charged for the call out also closing your account would not solve the noise problem as it will follow you to any other provider

I tried to drag the program i wanted to uninstal to the trash but each time i try a window pops up and tells me i cant as the application is open and i know it,s not??? the program i want to uninstal is a pre paid mobile broad band, thank you Marie
I have tried going to the program it self but no where can i find how to uninstal it . I,m getting very frustrated with this C.P as at least with windows you went straight to the control panel and went to ADD/Remove, and clicked onto the program you wanted gone and clicked on it and it uninstaled . GRRRI assume that the app didn't come with an uninstaller application/script?
If you definitely want to trash it have a look in Activity Monitor and your Login items, as there may be something running in the background that is preventing it being trashed.
System Preferences>Users & Groups (or Accounts depending on OS), Login items tab and delete anything that pertains to the app you want gone.
Next, Utilities Folder>Activity Monitor, have a look to see if there is anything running with the name of the awkward app. Select it and click on the the big red 'quit process' button. Now try and trash it.
If you are still having trouble you could try downloading the free AppCleaner:

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
HOW DOES ONE HAVE B.T. BROAD BAND & TELEPHONE !!
My argument starts with b.t. Broadband and phone, question how does one have broad band and phone if you have never ordered it in the first place, No modem means No broadband,No engineer,No Activation codes , No one has visited my home so No installation is this true !!. Yes I think so, can some one put my brain to rest.
Right I will start from the beginning back in November 2010 I called b.t. Sales and made an enquiry about getting broadband and a telephone package installed,so then this guy in sales said i would have to set a D/D up and he would have to do a credit check on me,but i told him their was a problem ,as i did not have enough money in my bank account to set another D/D up,he then informed me he would keep the enquiry active for seven days,after this time the enquiry would be scrapped,so i never thought anymore about it,then 2 months later b.t. have started billing me, the first bill was for £130.44 the next bill was for £223.31 & to cap all that they have now instructed a debt collection company to collect £365.98 within 7 days or else,i also asked b.t. what date did & time the instalation engineer had called to my home,and the date the package with the modem was delivered ,because you have to sign for this item i was told by the royal mail.
Then this Saturday 25/6/2011 a woman from b.t.residential telephoned me to apologise and the matter was now closed,and they were sorry for setting this account up in the first place, next thing the same woman rang me back one hour later and said b.t. would be pursuing this matter and i should contact the debt collection ageny, i refused to pay and told her to take me to court,she also said that their were notes attached to the file and a recording made of my conversation with b.t.and me ,i asked for a copy but she asked for £10. 99 plus vat to which i refused and that stated that i had placed and order for b.t. broadband,i then said i will be seeking advice from a solicitor and would see them in court.
Regards Jim please comment on this matter and if anybody can advise me on this matter.WOW what a disater Jim,
This is totally not your fault at all, what i would recommend is for you to contact one of the mods on this forum which you can do here http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951
The next thing for you to do is collate all your evidence and contact ofcom. You called BT to enqire and not take up the order so therefore ask BT to provide you with a list of account of when you called them, you have a legal right under the data protection act etc to access your data however you may have to pay a fee of £2 to £10 for your records. Also ask for a copy of the voice recordings and or transcripts too because all calls are recorded and monitored for training purposes right!
In any complaint, make sure you can remember the dates and times of call and also names, who did you speak to today??
i hope this helps, the mods will help too!

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .
Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
