Do you know how fast your line could go?

OK we all know that 80Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up is the best we can get with BT on a FTTC and VDSL2 connection. And that is better than their mainstream competition. 
I'm not complaining. But yesterday I had some repairs done by an Openreach Engineer. I had alot of FEC errors on my line caused by a faulty installation last year because I had two master sockets in service for the same line.
Intially the Engineer got an output of 54Mb/s on his test metre. After the repair the FEC errors and crosstalk were eliminated. He then got readings of 126Mb/s.
The route of my line along the ducting and internal wiring is about 50 metres from the two cabinets. They are 3 metres apart. 
Anyway BT used to provide DSL Max and ADSL2 on a best effort basis (assuming the DLM software was happy with the stability). There are already a couple of small ISPs with a best effort VDSL2 product. I then read this:
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2012/10/successful-vdsl2-g-vector-tests-pave-way-for-uk-100mbps...
And BT VDSL2 might just be stepping stone for a Huawei developed technology called Giga-DSL.

Huawei has been the key supplier of all MSAN and transmission equipment to BT since Marconi were binned in 2005. Having said that I really believe that FTTP is just a pipe dream (pun intended) for us unless we move to a new housing estate or South Korea.

BT Infinity (FTTC) is available to 50% of the 26 million households in the UK and that number will rise to nearly 70% by Q3 2014. 
The numbers last saw for FTTP were 175,000 households:

Anyway all of us on Infinity are pioneers and should pat each on the back. I remember just 10 years ago (winter 2002) connecting with a 56K modem. What a joke that was!

    You are what you accused Brendan Eich of being. You are bigots. Full blown cowards. I hope your company experiences a huge loss because of your actions.

    If Mozilla board did not support Brendan for who he is then he would not have perhaps been promoted from CTO to CEO right?. Brendan decided to step down as his way of helping Mozilla and community.

But when I started the installation an error ocurred saying that some folders did not exist. This is not logig to me, because I am installing and therefore no folder should exist. Do I need to install something before in solve that problem???

    I found the best way to handle using the program between networked computers is to use extension arguments.
    Simply.
    Install the program as administrator BUT do not let it start when installed.
    Then edit the properties of the desktop icon so that it has properties so that you run firefox with command line arguments (www.kb.mozillazine.org/command_line_arguments)
    Thus if your desktop icon on each Pc is firefox.exe -profile "h:\firefox\profile"
    Firefox when started with this desktop icon will always use the profile on the server drive H
    Once this is completed you can run the program and it will create the profile in the selected drive location.
    if you delete the profile it will create another in the same location.
    This also works for Mozilla Thunderbird.
    Hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as me.

  • Do you know how to keep from getting missing pixels?

    Dear fellow Photoshop Beginners,
    I am having an issue making a texture for a school project. Everytime I duplicate a layer and then "ctrl + T" to align the texture, I end up getting missing pixels along the edges of the duplicates even after I merge the layers. The original image is on the left and the duplicates are snapped to the right to create an elongated texture. I am using CS6. Do you know how to duplicate a layer without missing pixels on the edge?

    Hmm, I tried it myself and at 25% view I did see a line between the original and the duplicate:
    However, zooming in to 100% there was no border between the images, and looking at the individual pixels (600%) showed that there were no missing pixels.
    I'm wondering, what is the final purpose for this pattern, and what is the final file format? What happens when you view your image at 100%?

  • Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Hello guys! Do you know how to make a video smaller on imovie? Not by size or trim, i mean simply show the video as small as possible in the middle of the screen! Please text back.

    Go to the Map, Background & Animatic Browser (last button in the centre tool bar alongside the Transition button). Drag the Black background (or any background) to your project. From an Event, drag the video selection directly onto the Black clip in the project. As you drop the video clip, a pop-up menu will appear. Select Picture in Picture.
    Your video will appear as a small picture within the black clip. Click on it and reposition it to the centre of the viewer, using the yellow guide lines to get the exact centre position. Resize the Picture in Picture if desired by dragging the corner handles.
    NOTE: You may need to extend the duration of the Black clip to match the duration of the video clip. Double-click on the Black clip to open the Inspector, then adjust the duration there.

  • HT203254 and in case my computer is out of 4 years period?? (for just a month) do you know how much it would be cost to replace the board?

    and in case my computer is out of 4 years period?? (for just a month) do you know how much it would be cost to replace the board?

    If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within four years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.
    That's what it says, mine did too and was out of date. when Lion killed it.
    Don't bother fixing it, it's a 4 year old machine and at it's end of life anyway, something else will just die on it, like the keyboard, the superdrive, the hard drive etc etc.
    Wth all the money you'll spend fixing it, you could have a new machine.
    Mac' laptops only last aobut 4 years with daily use now.

  • TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

    Depends on why it's ineligible.  If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version.  (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".)  Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match.  Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
    If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

  • You Are Rad If You Know How To Do This...

    Hello My Fellow Flashophiles
    So, I will bow down to you if you know how to help me with
    this one.
    I have a MovieClip in my Flash file which emulates a
    signature being drawn by animating a mask that covers over a bit
    more of the underlying bitmap (of the actual, static signature)
    frame by frame. I'm interested in allowing the color of the static
    signature in the bitmap to be set dynamically. Here's the
    pseudocode I've come up with so far:
    - Access the bitmap in the MovieClip
    - Replace (somehow) every black pixel in the bitmap (the
    signature is black, the background white) with a pixel that is the
    chosen color
    - addChild the MovieClip to the main timeline
    I am also considering separating the bitmap from the
    MovieClip and just setting the MovieClip as its mask
    dynamically....
    Any ideas on any part of this? You're rad!
    Thanks,
    Graham

    Oh! Cbeech is the winner once again... I'm really starting to
    owe you, friend. Thanks once again for your invaluable help...
    So, yes, I decided it would be best to strip the bitmap out
    of the mc. Instead, I load it programmatically, apply the threshold
    method (I
    knew there had to be such a function! -- thanks, Beech!),
    then set the animation as the mask programmatically. Note to
    Cbeech: the colors for both the bground and the signature are
    selected via the sampling method you helped me with before.
    Here's the outcome:
    http://www.catherinemix.com/cmix8.html
    A lot of work for modest results, but I suppose that's the
    name of the game. I'm not complaining, tho. My understanding grows
    geometrically, and it's fun!
    Be Well,
    Graham
