Can VDSL2 can be made to work at 2km in the real ...

I placed an order for BT Infinity as soon as it was available, since we currently sync at around 1.7 - 1.8 Mbps with ASDL on a good day (and with an SNR tweak ), hence an improvement in speed would be very welcome.
BT sales were confident that I could get 15-22 Mbps with Infinity, which I thought a little optimistic, though from the various graphs in circulation, 15 shoud theoretically be just about achievable with our line length of 2.1km to the cabinet. However, the engineer said that in his experience, getting any kind of connection at all with Infinity at more than about a mile was difficult or impossible.   Sure enough, when he tried, the sync speed was less than 1Mbps, so he switched it back to ADSL.  What is the experience of others on the board?   Are we really doomed to sub-2Mbps connection forever, or has anyone managed to get a stable VDSL2 connection at >2km?  I am not worried about super-speed;  anything over 2Mbps would be very welcome, and I would be ecstatic if we could reach 5.   It's a shame that ADSL from a from a fibre-connected cabinet is not possible; with a halving of line distance to the exchange, we might even be able to break the 2Mbps barrier!
If VDSL2 can be made to work at >2km in the real world (as opposed the the dreams of marketeers), then theoretically a solution would be ugrading the copper line.  One other thing that the engineer mentioned was that there appears to be a "battery fault" on the line, and on a previous occasion I recall another BT engineer comment that the whole line is in a very poor state.  Unfortunately(!), the phone works OK (though maybe little faint and crackly), so what chance do I have of getting the line fixed or replaced as a a result of failure to get Infinity (despite the promises of the sales department).  I suspect I know the answer....
Incidentally, these are the results of the BT Broadband Availability Checker.  Are the quoted FTTC speeds usually wildly optimistic?

Yes, I have seen that graph, and this one:
and this one:
They all indicate that it is THEORETICALLY possible to get VDSL2 at my distance from the cabinet.  However the BT Openreach engineer wielding the IDC tool said that in his experience it is not possible.  Is he right and the graphs wrong, or vice versa?  I was really after some real-world experience of success/failure at this kind of distance, and if it is normally possible to get some kind of connection in reality not just on a graph, then is there anything I can do or anyone I can talk to to get any aluminium parts / dodgy connections / water ingress / wiretaps / etc. fixed ?
It is a little early to ask neighbours;  the cabinet was only enabled a couple of weeks ago! I do know their experience with ADSL is similar to mine, or worse.

  • Time Machine Can Be Made to work with a Network Share

    FYI I am just posting this here for the benefit of the community. The source of this info is: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=375047
    As I write this, I am doing a Time Machine backup to a ReadyNAS NV+ afp mounted share. Here is a summary of what the thread above says you need to do. It worked for me.
    Take any supported USB standalone drive and plug it in to an available USB port.
    Use Disk Utility to format the drive (or partition on the drive) and name that partition to whatever you want your network share to be called. In my case, I called it "office-tm".
    After you do this, open the Time Machine preference panel and select that new drive (in my case "office-tm") to be the Time Machine backup drive.
    After Time Machine sets up the drive, it will start counting down before the next backup. Press the little X on the right side to cancel the backup.
    Now open a terminal session and change directories to /Volumes/<drive> where in my case <drive> was office-tm (cd /Volumes/office-tm).
    When you do a ls -a -l, you will see two important files. One starts with a period (.) and contains numbers after it. The other one is called .com.apple.timemachine.supported.
    What you need to do is copy these two files to your network share. The trick is that you want your network share to have the same name as this drive you just prepared (again, in my case it was called office-tm). I first created a new share on my ReadyNAS+ called office-tm and set the quotas properly.
    Then you need to copy the files. There are several ways to do this but the way I did it was that I temporarily mounted the network share at a different mount point in terminal just to get the files over. So for example, I did:
    sudo mount -t afp afp://<ip.addr.of.share>/office-tm /Volumes/office-tm2
    Then I copied the two files over (substitute your appropriate volume names):
    cp /Volumes/office-tm/.00whateveryourfilenameis /Volumes/office-tm2/.
    cp /Volumes/office-tm/.com.apple.timemachine.supported /Volumes/office-tm2/.
    Turn off Time Machine so you can unmount.
    Now you can unmount both the USB drive and the network share and then you remount the network share as the proper name. The same one that the USB drive was named so as far as Time Machine is concerned, the volume is still there. The two files are on the network share so all is fine and Time Machine can find the volume it expects.
    Wait for Time Machine to start it's hourly backup and away you go.
    PLEASE NOTE THIS DISCLAIMER - There is probably a good reason why Apple disabled this feature so you might want to think carefully before you rely on this hack published in the MacRumors forum to back up your Mac. I am using this for testing purposes only and I am still using traditional backup techniques for my "real" backup of my office machine. If you don't get good Time Machine backups and you have relied upon them for critical data, don't blame anyone but yourself.

    We should probably start a new topic in networking on this. I am seeing some strangeness with afp shares as well.
    I have most shares set up to allow access by both CIFS/SMB and AFP. If I use Sidebar and try to access the shares by AFP, it says it can't connect to the server. But the same shares via CIFS works fine. (I can click on the "Windows" server icon and connect.) But for any of these shares, I can manually connect with the normal Go > Connect to Server... method, specifying afp://<ip address> and that works fine.
    In the case of the Time Machine share that is the subject of this post, I disabled CIFS and am only using AFP because I wanted to make sure I connected to the share only via AFP for Time Machine purposes.
    BTW, I do not use USER or DOMAIN security mode in my case and my shares are set up as SHARE security mode.

  • I've about had it! Can anyone please tell me where they hid the "real" Flash Player this time?

    Sorry folks - don't mean to take my frustrations out on the innocent but I am sick of always having to run in circles trying to get what my creative cloud membership pays for. I finally got a new laptop and I'm stoked because it's the first one I've owned that will be able to run Adobe stuff without batting an eye (okay within reason - it's still a laptop! lol!). Anyways, the problem is Windows and some other programs along with Adobe. I've had to reinstall everything like four times now. But if I can get Windows to behave and stay stable - I can work on some delayed projects.
    So I got to reinstall CC and after 4 times this searching and hunting for apps is really getting on my nerves. First, why can't Adobe put the real Flash Player in with the regular download on the CC login? I know we got the plug in with IE but I can't use it with Acrobat Pro. I'm embedding vids and stuff in PDF's and the only thing that's worked so far is that actual player.  Flash Builder along with Flash Professional don't help either. About a week ago, I tracked the real "Flash Player" down but this time - I can't find it to save my life. Every time I get to click on the DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER link - it sends me back to a CC login page or back to the IE instructions. I've only logged into my account ...uh...about 25 times now if I counted all the open tabs right.
    Okay so I get tired of searching all over for the Flash Player I need and decide to jump over to Adobe Story. I've got some other aps downloading and those will probably finish in about six to eight hours. But Story Plus isn't a download and it's included in the CC membership to. Now that program I liked. I had a bunch of projects saved and it has taken me a bit to get back over there to check it out but guess what.
    I log in and it says I'm on the free version and my projects are gone. The more I search, the more Adobe insists I get the Story CC Plus with my membership - but that's not what I've got on my screen when I log in. *sigh*
    I checked my membership status just in case - yes, I'm coming up for my renewal next month but there's no problems with my status and my bill shows current. So now I'm getting really frustrated. I see a nice little link that says get Premium support with your CC membership. Oh yeah? Click! They lied again. No matter how hard I look, the links only send me in circles (I"m bookmarking this page otherwise it will vanish into the nether too! )
    So now I get to go pull my backups for my script that is no longer on Story Plus. Wonderful. I'm not going to go look at membership again. I'm really close to cancelling as it is - so I'm gonna go chill out and wait for stuff to download.

    Flash Player is free, and you might ask for help in Flash Player
    This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs... and as far as I know, Flash Player is a different, free, download

  • My Idvd is made and works just fine on the computer, but when I try it on my TV it only plays the intro theme, it never starts the actual video. How can I correct this?

    I have made my DVD and it plays fine on the computer. When I try to play it on a TV, the intro theme shows, but I cannot get it to play the movie...any suggestions?

    Hi
    First ideas I got are
    • Use of Cheap DVD brand - I only use Verbatim (due to more organic dye in these)
    • Burn speed not reduced to x4 - I do
    • Use of DVD+R - old DVD-players don't work OK with these
    • Free space on Start-Up hard disk to low - My minimum is 25Gb free space on this one (others of no interest)

  • Iphone will not charge via usb-to-computer nor via brick; I've tested with two different cables. Just before this problem arose, I got messages similar to "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."

    Most of my concern is in the subject line. I probably should've saved some content to include here. Allow me to elaborate:
    While traveling with the tiny brick, I got a message on my 3GS phone that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone”; however, the charger was working fine with another phone and with an iPad.
    I tested alternatives by removing and re-inserting the cable (obviously, as I tested other devices), changing wall receptacles, shutting the phone off (all the way), all to no avail.
    When I got home, I plugged a different cable--one that was connected to my iMac rather than the brick--into the my 3GS; it still didn't charge.
    So, I'm hypothesizing that perhaps some debris (from a pocket?) got into the charging receptacle of the 3GS and is disrupting the connection. Perhaps there are other hypotheses.
    I am reluctant to do a reset, as (a) the problem doesn't appear to be a software issue (the phone and software are all working, though the charge is declining) and (b) I don't want to lose the contents before I can sync it (now that I'm home, again).
    I'd welcome suggestions. Meanwhile, I suppose I shall e-mail photos and notes from the phone to myself before I lose the remaining charge.

    Try to clean the 30-pin receiver slot either by blowing air into it or using a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, based on what you've already said, I'd say the problem is most likely hardware, and would need to be replaced or repaired. I hope your iPhone is still under the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, or if applicaable extended warranty. You can check by calling AppleCare National iPhone Technical Support at 1 (800) 694-7466.

    Prior to the beginning of Oct 2004 there was a Jaguar version of iChat AV on sale at the Apple Store as a download.

    It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
    There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
    It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

    In Leopard the criteria is also for a mac of a certain spec before you even start, This is a G4/867Mghz processor. If you have problems then see this Apple Doc There is also some evidence that this helps other macs with the same message even if not this spec machine.

If you are at 10.2.5 - 10.2.8 and downloaded the $29.95 Version 2.0 of iChat for Jaguar, in preperation of using iChat, before this date, you may find some of this information useful.
    If you did not buy it, your only option is to upgrade to Panther.
    For Panther (10.3.x) and Jaguar (10.2.5 -10.2.8)
    IF you fall below the G3/600 mark then you will need this utility from Ecamm.com This will enable iSight to work at lower spec machines. The current reported lower limit is around the G3/350Mhz mark.
    It is also will enable USB cameras for use with iChatAV, but there is little in the way of substantive information about Sub G3/600 computers achieving this.
    There have been about a dozen posts to say that it will use a USB cam on a G3 as low as 400Mgz
    It should be noted that computers of this age tend to lack Multi-Tasking and will find that iChat will take up most of their processor time.

    This former List of Firewire cameras contains a plain text mention of http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.htmlhttp://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.html that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS. The download is not required. *See note below
    This former List of DV camcorders that work with the drivers already in the Mac OS and now list just links to the manufactures.. *See note below. With the proviso of the note below this is a list to point out what cameras will work with iChat with the current OS (and some of the preceeding ones). The purpose of linking it here is for those comtemplating purchasing a camera.
    Essentially any Firewire camera will work with the OS. Some MiniDV formats can not be seen by iChat though
    *Note: Both these last two list were updated Jan 2004 or before. The purpose of pointing this out to highlight the fact that new cameras have come on the market since. They may work with these drivers or have their own Mac Firewire drivers on their accompanying install CDs.
    The Current list for Firewire Webcams is now here as linked above.
    10.4.9 now adds a driver for USB Video Class (UCV) web cams that will work with the OS and iChat. Not all USB video cams are of this type and iChatUSBCam is still needed.
    Mulit-Video Chatting
    As can be seen from the Specs linked earlier you need a Mac over a certain Spec (G4/1Ghz Dual) to be able to Host Video chats. (plus Internet Speed).

  • HT4993 Can the new iphone 4S be made to work with Boost mobile?

    I have Boost Mobile and it's part of the Sprint network but they don't offer any iphones.  I was wondering if somehow the iphone 4S could be made to work with my Boost phone number and service. Boost offers pretty lame phones.
    Thanks,

    However, when I tried to use the analog (white/red) audio outputs, connected Apple TV to my 30 year old Kenwood integrated amp, the sound was extremely distorted and LOUD.
    What input type/level are you using. Many old amps/pre-amps have specific device load/level inputs. It may be possible to use special level/load matching cables or an impedance/level matching box between the TV output and amp/preamp inputs.
    Is there any adjustment that can be made to the analog output from apple TV? or do I now have an excuse to go out and buy new audio equipment?
    Some very, very old (usually "tube" based) amps/preams may have input level adjustments. I personally would probably use it as an excuse to shop for a new digital AV amp/receiver.

  • Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.
