BT demanding I take out a new 12 month contract to...

Hi there
As per title, my exchange has recently been upgraded as part of 21CN and I want to go from ADSL to ADSL2+ immediately. I am on their top unlimited package, paying £24 a month and I am absolutely amazed that they want me to take out a new contract before I get ADSL2+.
I want to make sure that the speed is better with ADSL2+ before I commit to BT for 12 months. I had a nightmare with them last year and it took 4 months for them to fix it so they really don't deserve any faith from me.
Surely, as I am paying the most anyone can pay to BT for Broadband that I deserve the fastest speed possible?
Am I being unreasonable?
Thanks
Dezza

If you want an idea of new speed possible on adsl2 then enter your current attenuation + 2db (increase due to adsl2) and this will show possible speed
check speed
I would suggest you do a forum search for 'upgrade problems' just so you are aware the upgrade can cause problems
as Ectophileexplained you will get upgraded without any new contract but you need to wait until BT upgrade all customers. if you want to jump queue then new contract is required - you also get the chance to negotiate a reduced monthly package cost

Can I cancel my contract and take out a new one, o...

We have two landlines in our house, but we only need one and we'd like to stop wasting money. The first line, which is only used for phone calls, has the number which all our personal and professional contacts know – so we really don’t want to get rid of that. The second line is only used for BT Broadband Option 3 – so we want to surrender that line altogether and move the broadband service over to our first line (which, according to the BT website, will also give us much better broadband speeds). Sounds simple …. but somehow I’m concerned that the broadband transfer/line cancellation process could get screwed up. Especially since we would also want to downgrade the broadband service to (today’s equivalent of) Option 2 and add BT Vision to the mix.
So I’d be grateful for any advice on how best to proceed. Since our BT Broadband contract expired long ago, could I just cancel that and – at the same time – take out a totally new broadband contract (at a better price, and/or a new hub, with luck) on the phone line which we want to keep? Or will BT not let me do that, since both phone lines are registered to the same address/account? Or, if I really want to avoid things going wrong, should I think about leaving BT altogether and taking a competitor’s broadband/tv combination product? I’ve actually had no major problems - over many years - with the BT broadband service, so I’m certainly prepared to stick with the devil I know if I can be (reasonably...) sure that things aren’t going to go wrong and that the cost savings are going to make it all worthwhile.

Hi mrwoo.
You look as if you have some difficult descisions to make and I would normally suggest just ringing sales and asking them.
This looks a little to complicated.
Why not ask the forum mods what is the best way to go about this, they might even be able to arrange it for you.
If you fill in this form: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 with a link back to your post for ref, the mods will get back to you. It can take up to 3 days ( sometimes longer in busy periods), and they will contact you direct via phone or email.
Please let us know how you get on.

How can I change my Pay As You Go number to my new Pay Monthly contract, please?

Hello, Just yesterday I activated my new EE Pay Monthly contract/plan. I got a new number with it.I would like to keep my old number, which I got with my EE Pay As You Go plan. How can I change the number, please? Thanks and kind regards,Andy

You have three options available.
Speak to the upgrades and retentions department.
Go into a EE store.
Go through a third party, like Carphone Warehouse for example.
If you know which PAYM SIM you would like, going into store would be the easiest option. You will be given a new PAYM SIM and your number will be moved from PAYG to PAYM within 24 hours. However, the only downside to this is; you can not cancel if you change your mind.
However, you can cancel within 14 days if you change your mind and you have upgraded over the phone. You will have to wait for the SIM to be delivered through the post.

Can i take out the motherboard and CPU and replace it with a newer one?

I was wondering if i could take out the CPU and Motherboard of an early 2011 13" macbook pro with a 2.3GHz dual core i5, and replace it with a 2012 2.9GHz 13" dual core i7? I don't care about the costs but i just want to know if it's possible? I've upgraded my computer to the max so far, but i need some more processing power and i think the new ivy bridge processors will do me some good. Thanks for any replies

NOPE.
I'm about 99.9% sure it won't fit.
Plus the rest of the stuff won't plug or won't be compatible.

If you have iPhone4 and can you take out the sim card from iPhone4 and transfer it in to new iPhone4s?

if you have iPhone4 and can you take out the sim card from iPhone4 and transfer it in to new iPhone4s?

Under the circumstances this will probably considered a dumb question.
I currently have a jailbroken unlocked 3GS with a GoPhone plan. Works great. I am considering upgrading to a new factory unlocked 4S. Will I be able to swap in my current SIM card and go?

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery?

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery? I mean the underlines for "Back to Album", "Previous" and "Next". I understand they are functional but I just don't think they look great with the whole composition. Thank you!

This might work:
Create a dummy hyperlink on that page and set the color, rollover color and underline options that you want on those links. Click a couple of times on the *Use for New Links on Page* button. Delete the dummy hyperlink and republish. That should change the links you mentioned.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Take out multiple values from a db and handle them in an applet.

I have a db with tables. I want to take out several values from them and make them visible in a JFrame (or applet).
I dont know how to do. I have an app that connects to the db and selects the values and puts the Strings in a Vector. But now then?
I have looked at examples that retrieve Strings but not vectors, isn't that possible?

Hi,
On initialization of your frame you can loop over your vector and display them.
Now the problem is in what type of component do you want to put your data.
I can give you an example.
What you can do is create a String which will contain all the data from
your vector and set that string to the component.
Example:
Vector data;
String result;
for(int i=0; i < data.size(); i++) {
result += (String)data.elementAt(i) + "\n";
Now you need to put the string into a component which is easy done.
Let take a textarea component.
JTextArea txaTest = new JTextArea();
txtTest.setText(result);
Now all the data will be shown in the textarea component on your frame.

Open an on demand sub report in a new window

Hi There!
While reading the forum threads, there is an thread that have the same issue that i want to find out, but the thread is not yet answered. Could you guys help me. Thanks!
Thread by: Kylie Edwards
Hi I am wondering if it is possible to open an on demand sub report in a new window.
I have a report that has 6 level drill and I want to be able to close the information in the sub report to give the end user the ability to keep drilling.
I have tried inserting a text box with a hyper link back to the main report but hyper links do not seem to work the subreport. "
Thanks and Regards,
Joni

Hi all,
Sorry for the late reply, and thank you guys for the helped. I manage to solve the problem myself
To Falk:
Ya you are right, for what i know, Inforview is not possible to open a subreport from a RPT file in a new windows as well.
To Wallie Cheng :
When i posted the question for help, i just want to know if i could display a crystal report on a new window.
My situation is that i have a page that is size 3in x 3in ( Just a small static graph ) and i wanna attached a A4 report. In order to have a nicer view at inforview ( 3in x 3in border box ), i will need to reduced the size of the crystal report. The size of the main report is now properly change, but it affects the view for the sub report ( As subreport is A4 size, the system display the A4 size document in a serveral 3in x 3in page. -_-"' ).
To Abhishek:
I wanna try out your solution, but i can't find the hyperlink tab in perference option ( in inforview ).
I manage to solved my problem (suitation that i have explain to Wallie Cheng ). That is to created a hyperlink to the report. Rather than a subreport link.
Thanks and Regards,
Joni

My iTouch is being recognized as a digital camera and cant take out my music from it.

i have an iphone and an ITouch and also a Ipod nano and and i just got a brand new computer cause my old 1 died. i still have music in my ipod iTouch and iPhone. i want to fill my new laptop with music. but since my iTouch and iPhone are both being read as a digital camera i can only take out photos from both. witch right now i dont care about the photos. my iPod nano on the other hand is being read as a storage device meaning i can take out the music out of the nano. i want to make it so i can also take out my misic from my iTouch and iPhone. in need of assistance. tried a bunch of methods but im tired of it. im im going to need professional help.

- It is normal and expected for the iPod to be seen as a camera
- What do you mean " when I put it in hard disk mode"? iPod touches do not have a disk mode.
- Does the iPod show in iTunes? If not try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

But your device is too new, so why you want do it? iPhones has been designed to not can take out the battery. So if you have any query, you must contact directly an Apple store or send back to the factory (see Apple website for further information).

MacBook Pro Running Lion Takes Out Network

Hey everyone. I know that there has been an issue with wifi connectivity under Lion, but this seems to be different. I'm running a new MacBook Pro that shipped with Lion. All of the updates are installed, including 10.7.1 that was meant to correct the previous wifi issue. My problem is as follows. Every time that I connect my laptop to the network at work it takes out the internet connectivity through the network. The router is a Cisco WRVS4400N. It seemed implausible to me that my on laptop was the culprit, but the problem consistently arises when I connect to the network, and ONLY when I connect to the network. It does not, however, happen when I connect to any other network. Is there something to be done about this on my end? It's starting to get frustrating to not be able to get online at work.

For others that may be having this issue, it seems that it was tied to the IPv6 issue that has been discussed in other posts. I switched the setting to "Link-Local Only" and it appears to have fixed the problem. Not sure why . . . but it seems to work for now.
*Update* As I was posting this, the problem showed up again. I was running the Google Music Beta. Turned it off and the connection started working fine. IPv6 setting is back to Automatic and still working.

How do you find out about new VoD videos

Quick question for FiOS TV users - how do you (personally) find out about new on-demand videos?
Do you rely on the Spotlight email, or the trailers playing in the VoD store-front, or mail inserts etc? Keen to hear what everyone thinks works best!
Thanks,
Rich
