BT Openzone / BT FON - terrible connection / loadi...

Hi guys,
We have just joined BT Internet, mainly for the hotspots that BT are advertising all over the TV and Internet. Having started using the service, I have found it near impossible to use. It take an inordinate amount of time for the Internet to load the most basic website, trying to watch videos on youtube that  are between 3 - 10 minutes takes hours of buffering if not buffering completely. The connection signal I have is 2 bars, and most of the time 3 bars so am I missing something?
Any help to speed up connection would be much appreciated
Thanks

This is a shame 
Just when we thought BTOZ/Fon had been sorted, it looks like all sorts of connectivity/sign in problems are cropping up again.
With or without the Fon app., looks like its gone pear shaped again for many.
I hope that the issue is not sign in credentials issue per se with BT via the Yahoo servers, which I suspect it might be, an accross the board sign in fundamental issue.
I'm going to flag this with the BT mothership.
AQ.

  • Cannot access Openzone or Fon sign-on page

    I have BT Infinity Option 2 and am opted-in to the BT Fon community (I have checked this) and I want to use Openzone/Fon on an upcoming trip so tried testing it here at home.
    I can see both Openzone and Fon on my list of available networks, and can connect to both with a strong signal (probably from my own HH3!).  However, neither option gives me Internet access so I am unable to load the Openzone login page to enter my BTInternet username and password.  I'm guessing it's lack of these that is causing the lack of Internet access, but that's a chicken & egg situation!
    I'm sure my hub's internet connection is not maxed out because the only other computer using it in the house is the one I'm typing this on, and I'm not downloading anything.
    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Using Win 7 32-bit, IE9 on a laptop (which works fine with my normal BT Infinity connection)
    Hubby has also tried on a Linux netbook, with the same problem.

    Nah, I doubt it's BTNP blocking as other forum users have other AV installed and they still can't connect.
    If I'm honest, I'd have to say that the bug on the HH2 has now made it into the HH3
    [BT to insert a comment at this point?]
    If you really want to, a factory reset of your HH3 would prove this, though you lose any user changes to the hubs set up.

  • BT Home Hub 2-287C and BT Openzone/BT Fon

    This is my first  posting.
    My home hub has recently been intermittently "taken over" by BT Openzone.
    I have followed  instructions from the Openzone homepage, later from BT Broadband Desktop Help, and later BT Broadband telephone help line. They all help temporarily, then I get "taken over" again.
    Can anyone help me get rid of this nuisance? I use an Acer Aspire 5920 laptop running Vista Home Premium. 

    You say that opt out can take a while - that gives me some hope, albeit I never opted in in the first place!
    I get the feeling I am connecting to a neighbour's Fon because sometimes there is a "battle" where it seems it could go either way.
    I have repeatedly given my hub priority in wireless settings and/or removed Openzone and Fon, but sometimes they reappear before I've even left that window.
    When I do land on Fon, it is only when I go to IE from the ikons. It never happens while I am online via my usual homepage (BT Yahoo).
    Any further thoughts would be welcome.  

  • Openzone and fon

    I was getting openzone and fon perfectly whenever I logged on about a month ago. A few weeks ago I changed to BT infinitywhich came with a new hub.
          When I tried openzone and fon recently, I noticed what I think was an exclamation mark (black line on yellow shape) was permanently on the icon you click to get connected in the wireless network box. I clicked on the icon and it said connected - excellent, still with the exclamation mark. At the top of that box it said connected to bt openzone 3- no internet access. I then went to my browser and entered the full address for btopenzone. It could not connect and I cannot get a login page. I have tried many times throughout the day but it never works. I have opted out of fon and re-registered.
     I have managed to get connected on my phone but when I try to access an internet page with i,t the web page is always unavailable. Can anyone help please?

    Have you tried restarting the home hub 3?
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

    I had an online chat with a BT Broadband help person, who said she wasn't trained on Openzone and gave me a number to call, where I got a recorded message saying that the BT wi-fi network had "issues". A few hours later the problems disappeared and today everything's fine. So who knows. 
    Regarding Ts and Cs, if Openzone is bundled with your Total Broadband package there's no volume or time limit, you just have to log in every 30 mins if you go over 10,000 minutes in any given month.  Large files are positively encouraged: "Is there a download limit? No. Wireless broadband is perfect for uploading or downloading large files at high speed. Usage is based on time rather than data transfer amount." From https://www.btopenzone.com/help/common-questions/index.jsp#using_8  I'm downloading 50GB+ files via P2P. But perhaps the BT network sees them as lots of small files, as P2P works by chopping them into little bits. 
    The Openzone Fair Use policy only applies if you buy an Openzone subscription separately. In which case P2P, large files and a 3GB+ monthly volume are "inappropriate". http://www.btopenzone.com/terms-and-conditions/fair-usage-policy.jsp
    DS, what did you mean by clearing the connection history? Sounds interesting. Do you mean removing the profile from the Manage Wireless Networks screen?

    I have a BT business line (BT Business Total Broadband Option 2) and so have an @btconnect.com email address...
    Can I use the BT Openzone / BT FON Free Wireless App to get access on my iPhone?
    Thanks!
    James
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the number - i spoke to them and sorted it out.  To clarify for others who may be having the problem...
    Business customers can use BT Openzone/BT FON if you speak to them on the number above and receive your voucher for it. 
    However, the iPhone app will not work for you (it will only accept an @btinternet.com login) - you must log in to OZ using the credentials they send you.  (although the guy I spoke did say an OZ app was in the works which would take all OZ logins).
    Thanks for the help!

  • I cannot make a simple purchase of a $.99 of Beethoven's 9 symphony 4th Movement. When I click on the orchestra, a pop-up states "connecting - loading" and nothing happens. When I click on "View iTunes" for this selection, nothing happens.

    AlexCarey, I've been having issues purchasing recently and place a number of calls to the support team. On Oct. 5th, and on my own decision, I went into my itunes profile and re-entered my credit card expiration date and security code. (Notice, it is not displayed for safety measures.) Today, I received an email from Apple support verifying if I made changes made to my account. For the heck of it, I logged back into itunes; click "Buy". It's working again after three days of failure. However, diagnosis still displays "Secure link to itunes store failed". Very confusing state of affairs, lately. See my post on "Itunes dilemma"

  • Connection Load Balancing question

    Hi All,
    this is from oracle net8 Administrator's Guide (between double quotes):
    "Connection load balancing improves connection performance by balancing the number of active connections among multiple dispatchers. In an Oracle Parallel Server environment, connection load balancing also has the capability to balance the number of active connections among multiple instances. "
    My question is, from that statement above, does it mean that the connection load balancing can only be useful on a OPS with MTS instances?
    and second is , does it make sense (or can it be done) to implement it on single instance of MTS?
    TIA,
    Andi

    Hi Andi,
    CLB is only used in cluster configuration! In single node instance there is no advantage for ovbious reason of putting one more layer.
    you are right...use only with OPS and preferably with MTS.
    Best,
    G

  • Run-time connection load balancing

    Hello!
    I'm using jdbc thin client (10g) and I'm trying to improve connection pool management. I would like to enable run-time connection load balancing. Is this option
    available with Fast Connection failover?
    Basically when a a client requests a connection from the connection cache by calling the getConnection method on the DataSource object, I want that the connection selected
    is the connection that belongs to the best instance from the connection cache. The client receives the connection that would process the work request with the
    best response time.
    With run-time connection load balancing ebabled what's happen when new connection is requested? The same algorithm?
    Other question:
    Is it possible create a manually process to distribute new connections? Having the following connection string:
    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@
    (DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(protocol=tcp)(host=192.168.12.17)(port=1521))
    (ADDRESS=(protocol=tcp)(host=192.168.12.18)(port=1521))
    (load_balance=on)
    (connect_data=(service_name=EHR)))"
    In a specific moment I want that new connections only will be created in a specific instance... How can I do this? P.e.
    Connection POOL has 10 connections (5 in each instance). All sessions are active and a new session needs to be created. At this moment I want to decide wich instance
    is the best to attend the request...
    Thanks a lot
    Best Regards

    Hi, there are several questions here. So, let me try to answer some, and I could address more if you have further questions. I am also presuming you are using JDBC driver's
    colocated Implicit connection cache.
    1) Yes, you need to enable FCF on the pool to leverage RCLB. Note, there are
    no specific knobs for RCLB on the client side, only the RAC / DB side which requires
    LBA to be enabled (this is documented in the RAC clusterware admin guide)
    2) When LBA is enabled on RAC/DB, RAC starts posting FaN events to the pool.
    This enables the pool to pick the best connection to an instance with the best
    service response time or throughput -- depending on how LBA was enabled.
    3) When new connections are created, the pool relies on the DB listener to place/create
    the connections on the appropriate RAC instance -- this depends on the LBA goal you
    set, and is required to be set to "short"
    4) The pool currently does not have the ability to create a conn to a named instance.
    What's the requirement or use case for this? If we understand this better, perhaps
    we could address this. How do "you" decide which is the best instance to connect?

  • Howto - connection load balancing

    Hello
    I have a 11.1.0.7 clustered oracle db with two nodes. Using the oci access through the ojdbc14.jar for oracle 9.2.0.1 I programmed a datasource like this:
    public class DataSource_9i_oci
    extends OracleOCIConnectionPool
    public DataSource_9i_oci() throws SQLException
    super();
    setUser(RACBehaviourTest.UNAME);
    setPassword(RACBehaviourTest.PSWD);
    setURL("jdbc:oracle:oci:@tnsname");
    Properties poolConfig = new java.util.Properties( );
    poolConfig.put (OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_MIN_LIMIT, "1");
    poolConfig.put (OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_MAX_LIMIT, "100");
    poolConfig.put (OracleOCIConnectionPool.CONNPOOL_INCREMENT, "2");
    setPoolConfig(poolConfig);
    My TNSNAMES.ORA contains the name
    tnsname=
    (description=
    (load_balance=on)
    (failover=on)
    (address_list=
    (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=xxx.xx.xx.xxx)(port=1521))
    (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=xxx.xx.xx.xxx)(port=1521)))
    (connect_data=
    (service_name=service.name)
    (failover_mode =
    (type = select)
    (method = basic))))
    Then I spawned a group of threads each issuing a select statement and holding after that, until a central thread collects session statisticss from gv$session about the opened sessions in each instance for my user, and unblocks the working threads only after that.
    This test is aimed at evaluating the load balancing capabilities of the oci vs thin drivers in different versions. The code above is the data source being used with the 9.2.0.1 oci driver.
    Then I have another DataSource to be used in the same test and the ojdbc6.jar thin driver for 11.1.0.7. It is programmed like this:
    public class DataSource_11g_thin
    extends OracleDataSource
    public DataSource_11g_thin(boolean enableFCF) throws SQLException
    super();
    String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=on) " +
    "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx.xx.xx.xxx) (PORT=1521)) " +
    "(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx.xx.xx.xxx) (PORT=1521)) " +
    "(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=service.name)))";
    setURL(url);
    setUser(RACBehaviourTest.UNAME);
    setPassword(RACBehaviourTest.PSWD);
    setImplicitCachingEnabled(true);
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.setProperty("InitialLimit", "500");
    props.setProperty("MaxLimit", "500");
    props.setProperty("ValidateConnection", "true");
    setConnectionCacheProperties(props);
    This test is using connection load balancing without leveraging the FAN infrastructure.
    So, with this setup and creating 100 threads, what my tests show is that there's no load balancing in the 9i oci driver, all the 100 sessions are being opened in the same instance. The 11g thin driver however, distributes the opened sessions between the two nodes, even if in an unbalanced way (70-30).
    Is there any way to activate load balancing in the oci driver ? Am I missing something ?
    Thank you in advance.

  • WRT310N gives my wireless Xbox 360 terrible connection when PC is wired

    When my wired PC is linked to my WRT310N, my wireless Xbox 360 has a terrible connection and is repeatedly disconnected. When my PC is not hooked up, my Xbox 360 gets a perfect connection, just like it's wired. I've had this router for around a year and just ran into this problem 4 days ago. Discovered the problem an hour ago.

    If the above settings didn't made much difference to the connection on your XBOX, then i think you need to upgrade the firmware of your Router.
    Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search 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 - 192.168.1.1...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...

  • HTC Desire Hd wont connect to openzone or FON

    My HTC desire HD shows the WiFi symbol, shows that I'm connected to fon or openzone, but does not work. Happens all the time. Anyone got any suggestions or similar problems.

    I have the BTFon app installed, but use another app to freeze it when it's not needed. For me freezing the BTFon app stops the random connections to fon/Openzone when I want to use my own WiFi point. The only issue some users have with using a freezing app is that it needs a phone that's been rooted for it to work.
    You could try another browser in the phone - I found some wouldn't allow me to browse the WWW
    (my default browser does allow this)
    The other major issue at the moment is that the hub2 has been caching all WiFi traffic, even those not trying to use BTFon/Openzone. This causes the hub to lock up, preventing connections. BT are sending out a firmware update to stop this. Also for some unknown reason, random hotspots that have worked perfectly suddenly stop, for them to work again. But 100% agree, very frustrating

  • DB Connect Load - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table"

    Hi Experts,
    We have our BI7 system connected to Oracle DB based third party tool. The loads are performing quite well in DEV environment.
    I would like to know, how we transport DB Connect datasources to Quality systems? Any different process to be followed for DB Connect datasources?
    At present the connections between BI Quality and the third party quality systems are established. We transported the DataSource from BI DEV system to BI quality system, but on trigerring an infopackage we are not able to perform loads. It prompts - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table".
    Also on comparing the DataSources in DEV system and Quality system there are no fields in "Proposal" tab of datasource in Quality system. Also I cannot change or activate Datasource in Quality system as we dont have change access in quality.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Abhijit

    Hi,
    Sorry for bumping an old thread ....
    Did this issue get ever get resolved?
    I am facing the same one. The loads work successfully in Dev. The transport for DBConnect DS also moved in successfully.
    One strange this is that DB User for dev did not automatically change to db user from quality when I transported the DBConnect datasource. DBCon DS still shows me the DB User from Dev in Quality system
    I get "Unknown Error" whenever I trigger the data package.
