Connection drops dead during session (OS 10.5.6 problem?)

I am chatting without trouble for quite a long time now, till now. During sessions the connection drops dead after a minute or 3. Buddy freezes in the chatwindow and his/her little cam in the chatlist gets gray. Problem repeats itself with several buddy's. Typing a message to the buddy results in an AOL server time-out message. Restarting I-Chat brings the buddy to life again, connection is made swiftly and after a miute or 2-3 the line drops dead again. The only thing recently changed on my system is the software update to 10.5.6. Could it be a bug in this update? Any other experiences regarding 10.5.6 and I-Chat?
Kind regards, Julius

Only if you have Perian (1.1.3)
Downdgrading Perian only fixes Perian.
Defcom says Use Quicktime at 1.5Mbps. I would concur.
He also says try the port at 443. (I would go as far as saying try it with and Without th SSL Login as well
I would also consider deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restarting iChat.
I would also consider Rebooting the Modem to clear any odd ports being held onto.

Data Connection drops during a Phone call on iPhone 5

Does anyone have a weird issue of data dropping completely during the call? When I place a call the 3g icon disappears completely and nothing that requires data works until I hung up. Once I hang up the 3g service is restored pretty much instantly.

What carrier are you using?
Some carriers don't support Internt Data while on calls.

Internet Connection drops when incoming telephone ...

On 14th December 2011 during a period of very high winds and heavy rain an incoming telephone call caused the internet connection to drop and it eventually restored itself after about 2 hours. When I answer a call the internet connection drops after about 30 seconds and then reconnects after about a further 40 seconds. All incoming local calls cause the internet connection to drop. As far as I can tell incoming calls from other exchanges seem to be OK. Incoming calls from mobile phones sometimes cause the internet connection to drop. The line is unaffected by outgoing telephone calls. I have a BT HomeHub 2B plugged into an upstairs telephone socket and connected by ethernet to my PC. I have another telephone socket downstairs, each socket is fitted with a filter. I have have tried every combination of my two standard telephones and 4 filters in each socket and every local call causes the internet connection to drop and reconnect. I think it very unlikely that both phones and 4 filters have become faulty at the exactly the same time. I have connected the Home Hub and telephone with a filter to the test socket and asked a friend on the local exchange to call me and the internet connection dropped and reconnected as before. Since moving to this house 2 years ago I have had four previous interruptions to the broadband service all of which were caused by problems probably at the exchange. The last one took 8 days to correct after countless calls to the "Help Line". Their fall back position is always to assume that there is no problem with the BT line. So I am not even going to try to explain this over the telephone. This is the information on the BT Home Hub Event Log, it is typical for every occurrence of the problem.

not sure I read your post correctly but are you saying if someone from another exchange phones then the broadband is ok and it only drops if someone from your own exchange phones?

Connection drops - MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming

Hello there.
I've tried to search for a similar issue on the forums, and the interwebs in general, without any luck.
So recently I upgraded almost all the parts in my old computer, including the motherboard which is now a MSI z77A-GD65 gaming motherboard.
So, after my new setup, I'm having troubles with internet connection losses during gameplay.
The connection losses only lasts for around 5-10 seconds before I'm connected to the internet again, and it happens from every half an hour, to not at all, but it is an annoyance when playing games, as you can imagine.
I've been in contact with my internet provider every couple of days for the past week to see if it was a problem at their end. Although I got a new router, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection in general. They couldn't see anything on their end at least. And if I plug my laptop to the router via cable, I don't get the dropouts either.
So.. I'm faaairly certain it has something to do with the new hardware, more specifically, the motherboard. But I am not sure.
What I have done, is to check the connection, obviously.
I have also updated all drivers, using the LiveUpdate 5 tool that came with the motherboard (which was pretty intense since it updated the BIOS as well, and after that I couldn't boot until I reset the pins).
Anyways, drivers updated, couldn't find more recent ones.
I've checked if there has been a problem with the servers at the game company of the game I am playing, not the issue either.
Also, the yellow "warning triangle" at the connection icon in the taskbar is also showing for the brief moment of 5-10 seconds (not enough to do a troubleshoot)
I didn't have any problems with connection drops with my old computer, even at 8-9 hour gaming sessions.
Note that there doesn't seem to be any pattern in when the connection drops, as it can be from every half hour, to not at all during an evening of gaming. And there is no connection between what I am currently doing in the games I play, when the connection drops.
I hope you can help me out, because I have no clue at this point.
/thanks

Internet Connection Drop Outs when remote administ...

I did not want to trouble anyone here if I thought it unnecessary but now I feel that I do need some assistance so this warrants opening a new thread.
BT Infinity Option 2 customer with BT HH 4 and its separate modem - not hacked so cannot read any useful information or login to see what is going on and both BT and the manufacturer long ago removed the open source code of the modem.
I am quite confident now that these disconnections happen when a remote server/attacker attempts to gain access to my network. These can be from China, Iran and other places too. Sometimes Ministry of Defence? I don't know why I get these connection attempts and most of the time I see BT HH 4 does block these so why I get disconnected I have no idea?
I made a post in an old thread before opening this thread and said it was due to firmware upgrade but I misread the date! It was not updated since the 8th of May I think. These disconnections have been happening only this past 4-7 days with the most 4 days with intensity greater than the 3 before. I am not 100% certain it is caused by the remote administration that is blocked.
What happens when this takes place is the BT servers are then unreachable sometimes and I cannot regain a connection for up to 3 hours at a time, usually it is 5-10 mins max though. Without looking at my event log, any ideas?
I want to get different gear now and never wanted to use BT equipment anyway because I want greater control and options to configure. I would like to go with DD-WRT or OpenWRT Router with Integrated VDSL v2 modem. Anyone here that may suggest one that supports either of these open firmwares? Not so much the concern to prevent any security holes or backdoors but just as much if not more for versatility and configuration and just having control over my network. being able to do upgrades when I want and not when my ISP decides needs doing. And before you say BT do not have backdoors then why would they admit they can remote login to devices and storage contents with their pwerline adapters even. I remember reading a news article quoting BT as admiting this. Anyway, that is not my main concern here, as much as privacy and security is not a crime it is rather rare online. First I need to get to the root cause of this.
BT HH 4 is not reporting any DDOS attacks and even if it were I would not expect to experience any disconnection. I used to get tons of floods from DDOS attacks years ago when using Netgear routers and never exeprienced any downtime, but that was with another ISP. I don't detect any malware or anything like that and rarely download anything on this machine, I know web browsing can infect a system but I don't think that is it.
I want to go back to how I used to do things. Any help with this is appreciated. I will need to get my router login details because I was never given those when I singed up with BT Infinity Option 2. I don't even know what my BT email is but do believe there is a way to recover that under my account. **In the past we have had intermittent connection drops and loss of sync but this is not the same right now.
Edit:
** Just to clarify that was before we upgraded to BT Infinity Opt 2. This is the first time any probs with this service since upgrade and that must be about 6 months or more now.

When running BT HH diagnostic it printed out that the username for login had changed and needed resetting or for me to enter my own in that I was NOT given! Anyway, when going to select manual reset it had not changed from default at all so I think this is just some default BT diagnostic that is false. I realise that other BT customers are affected by this with the BT HH5 but mine is HH4...my posting probably isn't as clear right now as I have not slept as much past few nights trying to figure this out. This is happening at different times of the day but more often during early hours.
So I am getting these WGET TLS error(s)
How do I enter in log excerpt from BT HH? Forums says my post exceeds 20K chars...

BT Infinity Connection Dropping but BT refuse to a...

Hi,
So in September we got BT Infinity. It was a hassle and handled terribly by BT customer service but we eventually got it. It's been working fine for around five months but within the last few weeks we have been having connection issues.
Over Easter I have spent over 10 hours on the phone to BT via my landline and mobile trying to get a solution, but all I have got is a repeated denial of my problems.
On the 27th March I called BT to report that our connection had been repeatedly dropping over the past few weeks and a fault was opened. I was told I would be updated but no-one called back despite promises they would do.
I called BT on the 28th March to follow up my issues but was met with an advisor who lacked knowledge in the issue and simply told me to continue monitoring my connection.
I called BT on the 3rd April as there had been no improvement in my connection, which is dropping multiple times per day, and on this day 7 times. After going through the same repetitive questioning session about how I connect to the internet, a deep line test was run, and it was decisively concluded that there was a fault with the line within BT's retail servers. I was told this would be followed up and promised a call back on the 4th April.
After I had not received a call back on the 4th April within the time allocated to me, I called BT where I was met with an awfully rude woman who had no interest in helping me and went on to suggest what I was saying was an outright lie and she categorically stated there had been no call back booked despite me having the text in front of me which confirmed it.
After being told to 'continue monitoring my line', a slightly repetitive phrase favoured by BT Customer Service, I called back as instructed on the 8th April. Again, I went through a repetitive process before finally making some sort of progress and being sent a new home hub.
My new home hub arrived on the 11th April and made no difference to my problem. I therefore called BT and spoke to an advisor who told me he could only assume the Home Hub was sent in error, as he was absolutely adamant it would make absolutely no difference to my situation. I was told to 'continue monitoring my connection' over the next few days but before he ended the call I asked him a number of questions, none of which were adequately answered.
Why is our connection dropping? Rather than giving me an explanation as to why it is dropping, he told me that we are lucky it only drops a few times a day! He said 'everyone in the world suffers from a connection which drops multiple times per day' and that 'there is absolutely nothing we can do because there is no problem'. He told me about rate-adaptive lines, which according to him 'are used by every household in the world' and that these lines 'inevitably drop out up to five times a day, which is normal and acceptable'.
So how many times can it drop before it's considered a fault? The basic answer I received is that there is no limit! It doesn't matter how many times it drops, it absolutely normal! Only if it drops '20-30+ times per day' is it considered a problem worth solving to BT.
Why do you never call back (in particular, why did no-one call back on the 4th April, and why did an advisor accuse me of lying about the call back)? They said that when the issue is escalated from Level 1 to Level 2, it is impossible to see any contact between the customer and Level 1, so when the call back wasn't arranged as it should've been, there was no way BT could've known. He apologised for this and the way I was treated by his colleague.
Why was a fault reported on the 3rd April? Why have I not been updated since? Simple answer from BT. There probably was no fault, that was probably also incorrectly opened. Note the key word probably. The advisor I talked to said he had no idea what happened in any of my previous calls and that there was no way he could find out why the fault was opened, or listen to the call (despite all calls being recorded). He said it was impossible for Level 2 to hear the content of any calls made with Level 1 and that it was 'impossible for an advisor to take notes for a call lasting more than half an hour'.
I recieved a call back today on my mobile where I was told just to continue monitoring the fault. However I was also told, again, quite categorically, that there is nothing wrong and that he would happily send an engineer in three days but that 'he would be able to do absolutely nothing. It would be a waste of time'. The advisor also refused to give any details on how much this would cost and was desperate to end the call saying 'goodbye' despite me being mid sentence multiple times.
I have now been told to 'continue monitoring my connection' and await another call back on Friday, by which point I will have wasted many more hours on the phone to BT.
Your customer service is disgusting. Your lack of compassion and understanding is disgusting. The way you totally mislead customers is disgusting.
And now for my top BT Operator quotes (or near quotes, as obviously no-one has any idea what was said in these calls, not even BT!):
"If your temperature raised to 100 degrees celcius but then went back to normal, there would be no problem, it's the same with broadband"
"Everyone in the world has a rate-adaptive line and everyone in the world should expect their line to drop"
"If your line only drops 5 or 6 times a day there is no problem, you obviously should've known this before you signed up for Infinity"
"There definitely is a fault.... there definitely isn't a fault" - the trademark conclusiveness of BT
"We can limit the speed on the phone line, but it would have to be to 1mb" - this is despite absolutely contradictory help published by BT
But despite these humorous moments, I have wasted a huge amount of time on the phone to BT.
I have one simple demand. Stop the broadband from dropping multiple times per day. If you cannot do this, let us leave, as you are not meeting your contractual obligations and therefore we shouldn't have to either.
And please... don't apologise for your colleague not calling back in the first minute of the phone call and then not call back.

Hi Bryan,
Like yourself and many, many other people who come to these forums - I have been experiencing the same problems. Constant disconnections, and recently, speed dropping to 4Mb in the Evenings (I'm supposed to be getting 74Mb).
It's ridiculous with how many people are experiencing these problems and BT are blatently ignoring it. To add insult to injury, this was posted in February. A statement from BT basically saying "Well you're all gonna be having problems, but it's on you."
Don't fret though, the moderators, and other people from the community can be fantastic help.
Purchasing an Openreach modem, suggested by ray_dorset, I'll still be awaiting for the Huawei 612, V3b modem to arrive and hoping this will fix the drops in speed. I currently have an ECI modem fitted in, which has stopped the disconnects, but have not stopped the speed drops.
For anyone reading this who is unfamiliar with modems as I was:
As far as I know, there's currently two types of Openreach Modems. Every exchange is built with a certain "chipset" which will work best with these modems (explaining in simplistic terms and I could be very wrong, so I am happy to be corrected.)
The Two Openreach Modems:
Huawei 614
ECI
From the advice I have been given by the moderators, if you're new to BT Infinity, then your exchange may have only recently been built, which is then most likely to have a chipset which will work better with Huawei modems. I'm about to find out this by next week.
If, in some horrible scenario it doesn't work and the speed is still constantly dropping, then you may need to fork out and purchase a new router (BUT KEEP THE MODEM). Many people have said their internet has been fixed by doing this.
One of the things I did find pretty hillarious however, is that I did call up BT the other night due to having terrible connections. He told me to take out my modem and just use the home hub 5. He then kept telling me to change a few settings on the HH5 and run a speedtest. Every, single, time we changed something - the speed would get lower and lower, followed by an "Uhhh, monitor your speed over the course of this week and then we'll call you back."
I'm sorry, but BT customer service have no idea how to fix this, so don't waste your time ringing them. I genuinely feel bad for them too, they have to put up with our **bleep** while the engineers at BT who work on the firmware for the HH5 can't be arsed to try and fix it any further.
Seriously, mate - just try the steps above, come to the forums if you need help because you're more than likely to get a better answer. I know it sucks not being able to call up BT because they're just going to give you a bunch of BS, but if everyone who had a complaint on this forum worked for BT tech support, maybe there'd be more satisfied customers.

Mac OS X lion 10.7.3 Wi-Fi connection Drop Issue

Hi All,
I've iMAC OS X Lion 10.7.3 latest version desktop. For couple of months, I'm dealing with dropping wi-fi connection during working. I've look at all the forums and discussions and tried many things to solve the issuse, however, issue still exist.
   Every a few minutes, even during surfing though internet pages, wi-fi connection drops. When you look at the signal level etc.. everything is seems to be fine, but it is not possible to connect internet after close-open wi-fi.
   For a while, connection drop happens again.
   I do not understand why Apple does not give a fix for this while most the customer having such an issue.
Any one having any idea how to solve this ?
Regards
Gokcer

I have a similar problem. My Macbook Pro won't keep a constant wi-fi connection, becuase it continues to seek alternative networks even after locking onto a strong signal. I've reset preferences and started from scratch with all the settings and let the Mac set them by itself, but still it does the seeking. At home I used to have a direct LAN into my Airport Extreme, but now I use wi-fi on 4G/LTE and I've tried the computer with and without the Airport Extreme, with and without a Cradlepoint, and with various channels and security levels.
As has been document probably hundreds of times in these forums, Macbook Pros (my model) and some other Macs have had this issue from either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 (I've got 10.7.4 right now). I'm glad you found a solution to your problem, but for the hundreds or thousands of us who've had this problem since last August with no solution from Apple, it's quite frustrating. I know it's not politically correct to blame the computer when it's been given a defective upgrade with Lion, but let's call it what it is. I'll side with the numbers. Either a sudden batch of defective routers showed up from Taiwan, and a group of late 2008 and 2009 Macbook Pros bought them all en masse, or it's the software.
So if you still have problems after you get a clear signal, start sending messages to Apple to get it fixed for all of us. I bring this up for you as an alternative, as I noticed you were running 10.7.3, and the problems started somewhere around 10.7.2 or 10.7.3. Something to keep an eye on.

Stumped about constant connection drops

I just upgraded from 18 mbs to 45 and have had nothing but continuous connection drops. Seems like every 15 to 20 minutes, often after a period of inactivity, the wired connection just disconnects.

I just upgraded from 18 mbs to 45 and have had nothing but continuous connection drops. Seems like every 15 to 20 minutes, often after a period of inactivity, the wired connection just disconnects. I am as frustrated as I could possibly be. We ditched the Uverse TV because of an abundance of issues and now I'm ready to kick this NVG 589 gateway down the street, too. My info is below.

Ipod Classic 160GB dropped dead

My 1,5 year old Ipod classic 160GB just dropped dead yesterday. Nothing happened to it, I was listening music just before going to theater, I left it on my desk, I came back, it didn't boot up. I've tried to reset it 500 times, nothing works.
The only way to get the screen to do anything more than just being blank is to connect it to my laptop or pc, with the connector cable. It doesn't function as a seperate harddisk anymore, it can't be reached or found, the only thing it does is showing an apple logo on the screen (like the one in reset) for less then a second, then turning of the screen again, and then showing it again, repeating this process forever.
I doubt it any of you guys know how to fix this, but has anyone had experience with anything like this before?
And does anyone know how apple deals with this? Yes I'm a couple of months over my gaurantee, but it can't be possible that a premium brand multimedia player like an Ipod (and an expensive one with that)just drops dead out of nowhere, after 1,5 year of very carefull use? I've never dropped it even once, it has always had a protection sleeve.

I've had a friend of mine take a look at it today. He runs on a Mac but connecting the Ipod doesn't do anymore then on my windows machine.
However, when we tried it with a firewire connection cable (instead of the normal type cable via usb 2.0) my Ipod was able to reset and even boot. I could listen to music, browse my stuff and the like, however as soon as I unplug, my Ipod is dead as can be. I've tried to make it charge for several hours with no effect.
So it seems my accu is dead, but the rest of my Ipod is ok. I'm gonna check what a replacement accu will cost me and if Apple will fund this or if I'm gonna have to pay for the failing hardware at my local Apple retail point.
*So trying firewire connection cable didn't do much for me apart from knowing that my accu is done for, but it might help others out here.*

Connection drops on a daily basis / Varying (low) ...

People probably know the drill by now, everything is fine then suddenly they go through a period where they receive barely a 10th of their paid connection speed, with their connection dropping completely at least once per day.
This all started happening when BT somehow increased our connection speed from 8Mbps to 21Mbps and also increased our upload from about 250kbps to 1Mbps which happened a couple months ago now. This was great! Everything was working fine, no drops in the connection or speed and it seemed like they had given us a nice boost for free.
That is, until things started going wrong about a month later when our connection would frequently drop, the connection speed would often fall to below 1Mbps and this is still happening.
With regards to solving this problem myself, I don't see how anything could be interfering with the setup I currently have, as nothing has changed within the house itself. Before I ring up an Indian/ Chinese/ Scottish/ Martian call center, I'd like to try and get some feedback from the users on this forum.
I'm going to buy some new ADSL filters just to see if the ones I'm currently using are packing up (they're cheap so that is no problem if nothing changes).
I have run quite a few speedtests using the recommended btspeedtester and have had varying results, all of which barely, if at all, meeting the acceptable range of speed for my line. Here is my most recent test:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 4563 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4000-21000 Kbps.

Thanks again for the reply.
I connected to the test socket and saw a difference straight away when my internet reconnected. I ran another btspeedtest and here are the results:

I don't suppose it's possible to simply leave things as they are connected to the test socket?

My iphone 5 became dead during working. I have tried all the possibilities but with no success

My iphone 5 became dead during working. I have tried all the possibilities but with no success. Nothing appears when we connect it with itunes. I have even tried pressing home and switch button together. Kindly help me.

Are you sure that it has a charge? Try leaving it connected to it's wall charger for a while and then see if it will start up.
Best of luck.

Very slow speeds, bb connection dropping

I had bt BB installed a few weeks ago.
For the first 10 days, I was getting 2mbit down/0.5mbit up.
After 10 days, it slowed down to 0.3mbit down/0.5mbit up.
Around the same time, my BB connection dropped out every 2-5 minutes. At this time I was getting 0.7mbit down/0.4mbit up.
It continued dropping out every 2-5 mins up to every half an hour until 2 days ago. Since then the connection has stabilised (no disconnects) at a speed of 0.5mbit up/0.1mbit down.
My stats are as follows:
Noise margin (Down/Up)
15.3 dB / 7.0 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up)
18.0 dB / 4.0 dB
Output power (Down/Up)
14.1 dBm / 6.6 dBm

Download speedachieved during the test was - 382 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 100-500 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1024 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 128 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 500 Kbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 83 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 128 Kbps
I know something is very wrong, and I should contact BT to have it rectified. From the stats can any one make any educated guesses as to the problem - a SNR issue?
Much appreciated guys.

I sent an email to the mods but am yet to receive a response. How long do they usually take?
The line is now worse than ever - it does not stay connected for any longer than 20 minutes before losing sync, usually within 5 minutes. My stats now are:
