BT Broadband contract question! (Upgrade the accou...
Hi all!
Not getting anywhere with BT support/sales online..they just totally ignored my question.
If I move to BT Broadband ADSL2+ account (From another ISP), but FTTC Infinity gets upgraded at my exchange
several months later (mid contract).. can I upgrade to this ok? In theory its an upgrade, so
I hope I don't have to pay off the contract before upgrading?
I am tempted to switch now from Plusnet, ready for BT Sport and have access to BT Fon wifi out
and about as only get 500MB data on my phone.
Many thanks for any help!
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for that!
I didnt want to pay off a contract or wait until it ends, yet FTTC is sitting there lol!
Apparently FTTC install is starting next month, but could take a few months to complete if started then and i'd
like to switch to at least BT ADSL2+ for now to get BTFon + pre register for BT Sports for free!
I've clicked the star for you.. cheers

End of contract questions (Data plan and upgrade eligibility)
Hi All,
I found another thread also titled "End of contract questions" and it was very helpful but I want to make sure I'm not mistaken in any way. Here's my scenario:
2 Line Plan
ME (primary): 2-year contract, unlimited Data (10/15/10 - 10/15/12)
WIFE: 1-year contract, unlimited data (10/15/10 - 10/15/11)
I signed her up for a 1-year contract on the advice of the Verizon rep that was helping us. It ended up netting an additional cost of $70-100 (I forget exactly) but it was worth it in my opinion because I knew that one of us would be able to get a new phone in 1 year as opposed to 2.
So here are the specific questions:
1. Verizon has done away with 1-year contracts. This means that whenever my wife goes in to renew her contract (and get a new device), she will need to sign a 2 year contract, correct? All further questions will be posed based on a "yes" answer to this one.
2. Assuming she has to sign a 2-year contract, will she still be able to retain her unlimited data plan?
3. Assuming she signs up for a 2-year contract, will she still be able to get "loyalty" pricing or whatever they're calling it now (used to be "new every 2")? Is she even eligible for anything since she's not the primary on the line?
4. In the other thread titled "End of contract questions..." it was mentioned that "The loyalty discount expires 6 months after it becomes available -- so 2 months after your contract ends". Is this correct?
5. Currently, if I go to MyVerizon and hover over the "?" next to my number and "Eligible for a discount" it says: "You are eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing. If you upgrade on or after 6/15/12 you are eligible to receive an additional loyalty discount. " I intend to wait for my line as it still has a year on the contract however when I do the same for my wife's line it says: You are eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing." Does it not mention the Loyalty discount because it's not applicable to a secondary line? Or perhaps because it's implied since she's technically out of her contract period?
I'm trying to make heads or tails of this. At the time, it sounded like a great idea (her on a 1-year, me/primary on a 2-year). I'm hoping it will work out for us so that every year, one of us will be eligible for a new line. I'm only concerned with the unlimited data aspect being that she's going to be going from a 1-year to a 2-year and also the actual loyalty/discount aspect.

2. Assuming she has to sign a 2-year contract, will she still be able to retain her unlimited data plan? Yes, if she upgrades from smartphone to smartphone.
3. Assuming she signs up for a 2-year contract, will she still be able to get "loyalty" pricing or whatever they're calling it now (used to be "new every 2")? Is she even eligible for anything since she's not the primary on the line? Not eligible because she is 1)not the primary line and 2)1yr contracts weren't eligible in the first place.

You will have to activate the phone through them. -
FAQ Broken: How do I upgrade the firmware on a WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router?
I tried to view the above question in the FAQ, but it goes to the answer for a different question.
I then tried "How do I upgrade the firmware on my router?" a little further down,
but it acts like I'm not authenticated, and won't accept my Linksys Forums e-mail address
and password. When I try the password recovery, it says my e-mail address is invalid.
Can someone please point me to instructions for upgrading the firmware on my WRT54G?
Specifically, someone told me that the router needs to be listening on the default 192.168.1.1
IP address, but mine is listening on 10.1.1.2. Do I need to change this just to flash new
firmware, because that will be a little painful.
Thanks,Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - "Default Gateway of Your Router"...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
**To Check the Default Gateway of the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
**To all the above setting using the wired computer. -
My Mac Mini (2.5GHz Core i5) came with 4GB RAM, and I now wish to upgrade the RAM to either 8GB or 16GB in total (Crucial). Clearly, there is a price difference separating the two, but would this be justified by the extent of the improvement in performance, if I went for the more expensive option of 16GB RAM?
Secondly, if I am allowed to pose two questions: what seems to be the most compliant, reliable and cost effective external hard drive for this or Mac Mini's more generally? I was thinking of purchasing a 3TB HD for storing my rather large collection of photographs and Logic Pro 9 musical endeavours.
Your experience and advice would be appreciated, my having only recently made the switch from a Windows system to Mac.I 150% agree with dwb and woodmeister50 about WD hard drives. They are NOWHERE near the quality they should be. When you can get a Seagate for just a few dollars more, and they last years longer, NO ONE should buy a WD. I lost $25,000 worth of music and audiobooks on a six-week-old WD in 2007 and that was the last I'd ever buy from them. They REFUSED to warranty it with the ORIGINAL sales receipt from Bestbuy.
I have 16Gb of Crucial RAM in my Mini and here's what I've discovered.
You WON'T see "lightning fast" performance increases, becasue the Mini is pretty darned fast to begin with. What you WILL see is that when you're running RAM intensive apps like Photoshop or Parallels, other apps won't "bog down".
Quite frequently I find myself with less than half a gig of free RAM out of that 16. When it was only 8 I was at 100% nearly ALL THE TIME. When I only had the 4 it came with, it was always maxed out. -
Some question about the renegotiation function in SRM Contract (GOA)
Hi All Expert,
We are on SRM 5/4.6, there is a question about the renegotiation function in SRM GOA.
Can we renegotiate the price for some parts in the GOA items with this function ( e.g. Only renegotiate one item in the contract) ?
Will the item price updated automatically after the renegotiation?
Many thanks in advance!!!
WendrinHi Sanjeev,
Many thanks for your help.
One more question, if I add a new item when we renegotiation, will it be transfered to contract and create a new item after that?
Thanks and best regards

I upgraded the OS on my iMac to Lion from the App store; and after installation, it restarted and now the operating system won't start up.... it keeps displaying the apple/folder with a question mark and a circle with a line through it! Please help!
Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

Hello! Not a problem, because you will get a Ipod Nano 1st generation as a replacement, not a new / latest generation.

Graphics card upgrade question on the Satellite P10-802
Hoping someone out there may be able to offer some advice.
I'm now finding I probably need to upgrade this system a little. Adding memory looks straight forward but was also interested in upgrading the graphics card. Does anyone know if this is possible? Currently it has the ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 with 64MB of memory. If it is not possible to change the card is it possible instead to increase the memory on the card itself?
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice to offer!
Cheers
Message was edited by: liamflanNo, something like that is definitely not possible.
Please do not mix the notebook technology with the simple desktop PC.
You cannot upgrade the notebook graphic card and you cannot increase this graphic card memory.
Nothing to do :( -
Upgrading the iMac G4 + Other questions
I am very very fond of these type of iMacs so I am looking to buy one from ebay!
I was wondering if it is at all possible to:
A. Upgrade the video memory to 256mb
B. Upgrade the processor to a Intel Core 2 Duo (If so, how?)
C. Upgrade the Bus Speed
Will the Airport card that supports 802.11n work with this iMac?
Also, I am a little uncertain about this so I will ask... Do these have 256mb of RAM already built in? So you can add addition RAM too? What is the most RAM it can support?Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I absolutely agree. It's a real shame that they stopped producing this design. Still I've got my spares ready to keep my 20" going and it's easily fast enough for Office/Internet use.
kind regards

Shopping for a T61 - questions about the OS and various h/w options
Hi,
I am considering buying a Thinkpad T61, but it's been a while since I have bought a computer, let alone a laptop, so I thought I'd ask a few questions here.
I have worked on several Thinkpads T-series at work before, and I liked them, but they were all provided to me by my employers.
I am browsing the different models on the Lenovo Canada web site; the US site looks just the same.
The use I would make of the computer is typical office work (Word, Excel, e-mail), synchronize data with a PDA, Internet browsing, some limited web (PHP) and image editing (Paint shop pro), and listening to digital music. On occasion, watch a movie on DVD.
I don't play 3D games.
I would use the computer with a docking station and an external keyboard, LCD monitor and mouse when I am at home.
I am looking at the T61 models with 15-inch widescreen, integrated graphics and no mobile broadband.
1.) Operating system: obviously, Vista is recommended by Lenovo, but I have heard so many negative comments on this OS that I wonder if I shouldn't stick to XP. Even on this forum, I see posts about problems with Vista. Any advice on that?
2.) I already have a license for XP on my previous machine. Assuming I buy the Vista with this one, then I would legally have the right to install either system on it, right?
I know the machine doesn't come with an install CD, but if I get one somewhere else, would I be able to install it, or does the OS come with some weird DRM system that will prevent me from installing another OS than the exact copy of the one that was shipped with it?
I ask this because I'm fairly certain that I will want to change the way the system partitions are set up.
(this might sound like a silly question, but the acronym DRM became so prominent in recent years that I want to make sure)
3.) The website says that some T61 machines come with an integrated camera. Later on in the detailed descriptions, I don't see it mentioned anywhere. Which do and which don't come with the embedded web cam?
4.) 15.4 WXGA TFT vs. 15.4 WSXGA+ TFT : what are the resolutions of each?
5.) Hard drive: I would go with a 7200 rpm model. Is there any benefit to getting the 1GB drive cache?
6.) DVD recordable option: how fast does it record CDs and DVDs ?
Thank you in advance.
Chris.-Hi Kevin
about the speakers I cannot advice.
Regarding the driver - if there is a driver update availabel from TOSHIBA (important!!) then use it! That means they have found some kind of bug in the original driver and released a fix for it. I do not recommend you to use the nVidia generic driver since it might make the PC behave bad. StandBy / Hibernation might stop working properly. Power consumption might go up....and so on.
Regarding the BIOS. The BIOS'es are a special chapter - when upgrading the BIOS the machine re-writes a very special part of the 'hardware' (actually it's a software installed in a chip that does not go away when you turn the computer off, it is sometimes also called firmware). That firmware is needed (among other things) to get the machine to start and load the operating system.
If the re-write process fails it could mean that the firmware is not able to start the machine anymore. And if the machine does not start at all, you will have no chance to retry writing the firmware. So that mean the machine will be dead and you will not be able to do anything about it except turning to an ASP and possibly pay for the service.
So, that said, it is very important that you have a realiable powersupply (which you normally have with the AC Adapter) and that you make 100% sure that you use the correct BIOS-file.
If you can accomplish those 2 small things there should be no problem upgrading the BIOS.

I have a Mac mentor who gave me an old iBook out of the kindness of her heart and I've enjoyed using it very much. I can't afford to buy a new laptop.
I just changed to Broadband so I can get faster reception and watch videos and listen to audios on the Net. I want to copy videos from Utube, but I don't get continuous reception, but only longer segments than before with a jerk in between. There is a notice in the upper right hand corner of the screen that asks me to upgrade plug ins, but I fear that my 10.4.11 operating system will not support the upgrade. Do I have to and can I upgrade my operating system on an old iBook that was conceived in the early stages of Mac laptops or can I just upgrade the plug ins that I have? I'm afraid to change what is there. Can someone help me do this myself without bothering my busy mentor with something that I ought to be able to do myself?''Merla wrote:''

You can update Flash Player to 10.1.102.64, which is the last version that works on your system. This should be sufficient for most sites.

If that's the computer you used to ask the question, then no. It has a PowerPC processor. To run the latest version of Firefox, you need at least Mac OS X 10.6, which in turn requires an Intel processor ([http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 see system requirements for Mac OS X 10.6]).
Note that your operating system, browser and plug-ins, all contain security vulnerabilities that put your computer at risk. You can switch your browser to TenFourFox, an up-to-date third-party build of Firefox that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 on PPC processors. However, it doesn't support plug-ins (like Flash Player).
