BT keeps cutting out, when working extremely slow ...

BT has been playing up for ages now, with on average <1mbps download speed, and <0.3mbps upload speed
I can't use the official BT tester, but speedtest.net and speedof.me both give me around this. Apparently, I don't have flash installed - completely untrue, but whatever, it's BT...I wasn't expecting it to work;

Install flash on my computer
Anyways, it works incredibly slowly like this for most of the time (my mobile data is faster), and often cuts out - around 5 mins every hour.
I use the TD-W8980, which is more stable than my BTHomeHub 2. I have tried with the BTHomeHub, yet it is the same, except lower Wi-Fi strength. The results above (<1mbps download, <0.3mbps upload) are connected via UTP cat6 cable, to a gigabit ethernet port on the router. The router is connected via ASDL to an outlet right next to the main box. The outlet was installed by a BT engineer. I have tried the quiet line test, no noise except a very quiet deep hum, probably just the cheap Argos corded phone.

I am currently sending this on mobile data, as pages take too long to load, (eg. The homepage of Amazon takes 12.6 seconds to load). I only just managed to do the speedtest without waiting a few millenia...

  • Iphone 5 keeps cutting out when still got charge init

    CCan somebody help me my iPhone 5 keeps cutting out when still got charge left in it it is two years old also lose signal a lot help please

    Depending on the age of the phone and its usage, this could be battery issue and your battery might have to be replaced. If the phone is still charging with your fathers USB cable, make sure it is charged for at least 15min, then try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If this does not work, you'll have to get it checked out by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple directly: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

    when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

    Hey Ciara,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:

  • Bose sound link keeps cutting out when streaming

    this is applying for all my devises every time i want to streame to my bose sound link system it keeps cutting out could this be a rooter problem?

    The Bose Sound Link uses bluetooth technology to communicate with your devices, therefore the router has nothing to do with your problem. Try moving the devices closer to the Sound Link and see if that helps.
    Also, human bodies can block the bluetooth signal so make sure your iDevice and the Sound Link are out of the way from where people can walk between them.

  • Airplay mirroring keeps cutting out when watching apple tv from a macbook pro

    Recently I have had difficulties watching any itunes movies or downloaded shows on my tv using apple tv. While watching the movie or show on my tv,  airplay mirroring will shut off without warning and the movie continues playing on my macbook but in order to start watching on my tv again, I have to reconnect to airplay mirroring (which sometimes works only to shut off again several minutes later, or I get an error for airplay). I have an OS X version 10.8.5. and my apple tv devise is less than a year old. I never had this problem before with my apple tv. Any ideas about what might be wrong, or what I can do to fix this?

    Try changing your energy saver settings.   Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never.  When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off.  I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music.  I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone.  I've seen them as low as $30.  Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free).  These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs. 
    If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features.  Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house.  You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere!

  • Music keeps cutting out on my ipod nano 7th gen when using bluetooth

    I just recently got an Ipod Nano 7th Gen and the music keeps cutting out when I use bluetooth headphones. It seems like it needs to have a line of sight or else the music will cut out. If I hold the ipod in my hands while running or keep it in my pocket, I am listening to more pauses than actual music. I practically have to hold the Ipod up to my head while running to not have it cut out on me (and that is obviously not comfortable). Is this how it should be or do I have a faulty Ipod? Is there some way that I can fix it or do I need to take it to the Apple store?

    thankfully I was just able to find the answer in another member's post. You can double click the side button to advance the songs. I credit member little goomba for sharing the answer on another post. Now I am back to loving my new Nano!

  • TS3899 Since I updated to iOS 8.0.2 my iPad has not been working properly. It freezes in the middle of things. It cuts out when I'm browsing. It's slow when I. Typing and more how do I sort it

    Hello Jm23ur,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing performance issues with your device. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

    One weird thing: the drive never mounts on the desktop, the only way I can see it is to click on the TC in 'shared devices' in finder sidebar.
    That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
    He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
    Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

  • I keep notes on about 300 topics on iPad Notes.  Occasionally, when I go into an existing note to add details, the note cuts out when I begin to add text.  This is now happening every day. How do I fix this?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
