Fiber and phone company technology
hiOur present network is voip and mpls run with 9 T1s managed by a phone company. Internal network works well most of the time. However the majority of our business is done between us and our data server which is in Arkansas. We have complained for 3 years in regards to the slowness and made it clear that this was of the utmost importance to us.It is now time to make a decision. I would like to separate the voip from the data and manage our network internally to ensure QoS is where we need it to be. This phone company would like to install fiber but I question whether their installation of fiber will improve the quality of our connection to Arkansas. There are at least 20 hops between our office (we are in New Hampshire) and Arkansas. The phone company has blamed our internet problems on a number of these hops and say that they have no...

I work in FiOS, but I can give you a NJ copper number that I have used for repair that usually picks up right away. 732-269-7481. Try that and let me know how it goes.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"
I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

I have just recently brought the blackberry curve 8310 and i am not able to access the internet, MSN etc.
I rang my phone company(Crazy Johns) and they saif i cannot use the internet on this phone because they don't sell it anymore and i need a setting for it to work.
Can you please help me with this?
Thanks Matthew.Hello,
The services you listed in your post will require a data plan which is provisioned by your wireless provider. You may want to contact your wireless provider to see if you have the correct plan.

My iPhone4 is broken and my phone company won't cover the damage. I am a student and I can't afford a new one..Will apple send me a new one?
No, you don't get a new iPhone simply because you cannot afford to replace it.
What do you mean it's "broken"? Is it physically broken? If so, warranty does not cover user damage. -
iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks
We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

I've only had the Time Capsule since the end of Dec. I frequently lose my wifi and phone, I've called
My service provider and they always say everything on their end is working and that it may be my wireless router. I don't know how to fix this. I have had some error messages show up on my MacBook Pro saying a backup wasn't done and that I need to reconnect my Time Capsule. Once I hit ok and re enter my password everything backs up again. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Please help.Is your main modem cable?? We need to know more to help.
Tell us the whole setup of your home network.. modem make and model?? Who is the ISP?
Is the main modem also a router? How is the TC configured?
The new TC (AC version) has been buggy with some cable modems.. particularly SB6121, 6141.
The ISP is more than likely correct.. your TC is simply unreliable.. if it is faulty you can return it and apple will replace it.. but it can also just be setup wrongly or the bugs have got you due to the particular combo of equipment. -
Only way now I can get internet to work is to use wireless modem provide by phone company. For some reason plugging the DSL ethernet cable into my Mac won't work. My Extreme had been working fine. Tried powering off/rset. Had phone company check their hard ware. Even tried with PC.
It's a mystery.Do a full factory reset..
Set the AE to bridge mode, in full isolation from the network.. set it to create a wireless network.
Then plug it into the dsl modem again.. which you now have in router mode. -
Phone company without phone service
This may not be the place to vent but I'm upset. I spent over an hour trying to call and talk to someone at verizon because I had a question that I could not find an answer to. All I ever got was electronic voices telling me how to make a change. I needed to know if i made that change if I could change it back. After trying all that time, I decided to call the local number which I did land lo and behold I got the same automated message. I had to drive to the store to get my question answered.
Shouldn't a phone company have a means of talking to someone in the company on a phone?
I think when my contract is out, I'll find another provider.
I will say when I used to be able to talk to someone, they were always very helpful.This is good to know but the phone company needs to make that information available on their web site. That would be part of customer service who I was wanting to reach.

Makes me wonder if I picked the right phone company
I have been a dedicated Verizon Wireless customer for about 3 years now. Couple months ago I renewed my contract for another 2 years. I was really excited about getting a new device which would give me more options of doing things online and being able to enjoy the convenience of the 4G speed. Screen protection, double cover for the phone, hands-free - I got it all! Everything was great until a few days ago my phone simply shut down on me. Of course the first thing I decided to do was to call customer care. A representative was trying to help me fix the problem but nothing would work. So I went to a Verizon store and asked them to trouble shoot the device. It turned out that my almost brand new phone was not in a condition to ever work again. So I was told by a customer representative at the store that they were going to order a replacement device for me and I was supposed to get it over night. We are all very busy people and those of us who are lucky enough to have devices that help us bank online from our phones, check emails and set up tasks and meetings on everyday basis would understand the frustration of not being able to perform everyday tasks because the phone you relied on is broken. Since there`s no such thing as a loaner phone any more, I was sent on my way without being able to communicate. I travel a lot between two states - working in one, living in the other. The thought of being on the road and simply not being able to even make a phone call in case of an emergency is pretty terrifying (don`t you think?). I placed quite a few phone calls to customer service to see when my phone was going to be delivered to the house. Unfortunately the lady on the other end of the line told me she couldn`t locate my tracking number and probably it has not been processed yet. She asked me to call back first thing next morning. My simple question was: From what phone do you want me to call you back? Pretty reasonable question actually! It felt like we were just running in circles. That night I managed to find one of my old devices which happened to work, so in the morning I could activate it and be able to place phone calls and check my emails. As I made it back to the Verizon store the next morning and asked a gentleman who was helping me about the tracking number and delivery time, I was shocked to hear that my phone was not going to make it to place of my residency that day. Matter of fact he told me it was going to take 3-5 business days and the phone has not even been shipped yet! I was speechless. One person tells me overnight, another one tells me 3 to 5 business days.. I understand there`s certain policies and procedures but they could have at least stuck to the same story! I asked to change the delivery address so it would have been easier for me to get the package (like I said I run between two states all the time). The answer I received was No, we cannot do that. I asked them to just activate my old phone and headed out for an appointment. I was not thrilled with the way it all has been handled but I decided to let it go. Little did I know, that was not the end of that problem. I called the Verizon customer care once again with the same questions: what is my tracking number and when is the device going to be delivered. Still could not get an answer for any of those questions. The lady on the phone told me that I would get a call back when they finally get the information I`m acquiring. Well let`s put it this way, I would have still been waiting for that phone call, if I did not call them back two days later. Finally I got that "magic" box with my replaced Motorola Razor. Feeling relief and excitement I went back to the store to get my phone set up again. Sales clerk asked me if I had a Sims card for it. I told him that there`s one in my old phone. He explained to me that it was not going to be working. Can you imagine the expression on my face as he was telling me all that?! All I could think about was how they could not have ordered another Sims card if they knew the old one was not good any longer. The sales clerk offered to order one for me with an overnight shipment. I said: just like my phone being shipped over night and it took like 4 days??!! So he said that they had cards in the store that I could buy. And I did simply because I needed my phone back ASAP. I never knew that the warranty covers only the phone, but not its parts! It`s like buying a brand new vehicle off the lot with no gas in it!! Ridiculous was the word of that moment. So now I`m wondering if I made the right choice when I picked Verizon as my cell phone company. After all I can take my $100/month bill somewhere else. If that`s how clients are appreciated by the company, I don`t feel like I need to keep my service with Verizon or for that matter refer any of my friends, family members and customers to Verizon.

What happened to your old SIM card? You should have been able to move that card to the new replacement device.

Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time. Then the readers of this community can follow the progression of the events better. -
I have upgrade my phone to iOS7 and my company recently upgraded to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can only see my Sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.
You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5
text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?
i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need. -
Why is tethering provided by the phone company?
I am curious about why tethering is something that my service provider must allow (and charge for)? Surely if I pay for a data package the phone company doesn't care whether that data stays in the iPhone or if I route it to my PC?
Same as my ISP cannot decide whether I use a router or not?Not even close.
Your phone company wants you to spend as much money as possible. They want you to buy a wireless data plan for your PC/Laptop. If you don't, and choose to tether for that, they are going to charge you to tether. They are completely not interested in your (mine/ours) convenience and "ability" to use this feature. It's about charging as much as they can wherever they can.
It's always been like that with tethering, at least here in the US with ATT on all smartphone -- and by extention Rogers in Canada which is owned by ATT.
