FiOS Phone and Internet down for 2 weeks

Inbound calls: system answers with loud crackling noise, phones ring once. Sometimes the calls get sent directly to voicemail
Outbound calls: fast busy on off-hook, sometimes you can't break dialtone
Internet service: slows down significantly
The ONT has been replaced at least 5 or 6 times, the router 3 times, and the office equipment once. The problem still recurs even if all the phones in the house have been disconnected.
I believe the problems are  consistent with a high data error rate. This would also explain why Internet is currently working while the phone is offline.Voice traffic is less tolerant of high data error rates, while Internet traffic can tolarate a few dropped packets.This high error rate could be caused by problems with the fibre drop: too small bending radus, contamination, etc.
We thought that there may be a problem with rain getting into some of the fibre splices but the last tech checked and found that all connections were dry.
There have been at least 10 different techs here and they've all come to the same conclusion: that there is a problem with the fibre drop to the house.
Any ideas (before we switch to Comcast)?

I would have to agree the problem lies in the fiber connection.  Since various VZ folks agree do they plan to replace the fiber connection from the pole to the house?  Seems like the next logical step.

    Too many people are flooding Apple's servers, everyone is having this issue, try every so often, or wait until tomorrow.

  • Iphoto froze in the middle of an import. Had to unplug my phone and walk away for a minute while it was still frozen. Now it says it's importing photos even though nothing is plugged in. Now when I plug in my phone it won't import new photos.

    Iphoto froze in the middle of an import. Had to unplug my phone and walk away for a minute while it was still frozen. Now it says it's importing photos even though nothing is plugged in. Now when I plug in my phone it won't import new photos. Also refuses to quit iPhoto, preventing me from shutting down/restarting my laptop and I'm starting to get worried. What do I do???

    i have os : Red Hat lunix as 3 , woth oracle DB 10g 10.0.1
    need to make an automatic startup and shut down for the instance when i start and shutdown the OS
    i tried Use dbstart and dbshut scripts then created file dbora at dbora as a script
    then i did
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
    # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora

    Hi,
    The /etc/oratab should have an entry for this database with 'Y' in the last field as:
    Oracle_sid: Oracle_Home:Y, so when dbstart command issued it will check the oratab and starts the database.
    I advise you to keep the dbstart and dbshut in different scripts and save them directly in the runlevel directories, instead of creating links.
    thanks

  • Could I bring my old phone and top up for a new one?

    Could I bring my old phone and top up for a new one?

    You'll also want to make sure you have fulfilled any commitment on your current iPhone. If you purchased it on contract then you'll need to make sure you have completed the terms of the contract. Some carriers won't allow you to upgrade to another phone until you have either met your commitment or paid off the existing contract. Check with your carrier before selling your existing device. You don't want to be standing at the counter with a new device only being told that you're not eligible to upgrade yet.

  • Internet down for three weeks and counting

    My Internet service down for three weeks plus. Its cost me hundreds of dollars, we have an internet related business. So disappointed in ATT, poor communication. In this day and age is there really any good reason for service to be down this long.

  • Help with LTE and Internet Sharing for BUIlD Lumia...

    Nokia,
    I received the Lumia 920 when I was at BUILD 2 weeks ago. I followed the instructions and the phone mostly works on AT&T. I had a 900 so I assumed my LTE and Internet Sharing plan would easily transfer. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. I called AT&T gave them my IMEI number but it's not in their system and is not recognized as a Lumia 920. Because this is not an "AT&T phone" they wouldn't do much more to help. My data connection only ever shows 4G, never LTE as my 900 does and I cannot enable Internet Sharing even though it's on my data plan. I believe this is all controlled by the IMEI number.
    Is there anything Nokia can do to help us? I can't imagine I'm the only one having this problem! I'm going to try again to see if I can get the issue escalated and maybe they can force the IMEI number to be recognized as a 920.
    Thanks!

    Sorry I never came back to update. The fix, as has been noted already, is to make sure AT&T has your IMEI as another 920 or your old 900 so that you get LTE (which appears as "4G"). Then, in the Nokia Access Point config setting (under System Config), make sure LTE2 is selected, then install an additional keyboard (I tried both Spanish and Chinese). This will force an OTA update that seems to enable Internet Sharing. I had to redo it a second time when I updated my Nokia Access Point app last week, but I just re-installed a NEW keyboard and got Internet Sharing back. It hasn't gone away since, contrary to what others have experienced. For more info (and where I found the fix) see this XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971997

  • Media player and internet radio for IPod Touch 2g

    I’ve just bought second hand IPod 2g and very disappoint. I expected will be able to download old application and enjoy maybe not new features but at least use the device. Unfortunately all which I found are not working (linke UPnPPeek) or need iOS 4.3 or higher. I’m not looking for anything new and flashy, just three things:
    Simple and free UPnP/DLNA client which will play music from my NAS
    Internet radio player with many stations
    Something to copy files from my NAS over WiFi.
    Could you help me please? I’m really frustrated on this stage after spending whole day looking for solution.

    Computers are different, so you can't meaningfully compare the two types of devices. I'd suggest you research how far back the current versions of Windows Phone and Android support before you conclude that Apple is treating you unfairly. I think you'll find that Apple actually supports their hardware of this class longer than almost any other player/phone manufacturer. Your iPod was given two major operating system upgrades (with a number of new features in each) and a number of minor ones, all at no charge to you, which for a device like that seems quite reasonable to me. In addition, it's completely the developers' decision to drop support for older iPods and versions of iOS; Apple did not force them to do so.
    Up to you, of course. If you feel some other device will better suit your future needs, by all means buy that device. Just do your homework before you decide so that you're not even more disappointed down the road.
    Regards.
    P.S. Oh, and in just five seconds of searching I found at least a couple of streaming apps that will still work on iOS 4.2.1, at least according to the app system requirements:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id294952511?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id443081543?mt=8
    Surely you can find something that will work for you, even if it's not ideal.

  • Transfer VOIP Calls Between Cisco Desk Phone and Cisco Jabber For IPhone 9.5

    Does anyone know how to transfer an active voip call from a Cisco IP Desk Phone to Cisco Jabber for IPhone?  I can transfer a call from Cisco Jabber for IPhone to my Cisco IP Desk Phone no problem.  I put the call on hold and then click "Resume" on my Cisco IP Desk Phone.  However I cannot do the same but the other way around.  If I put the call on hold on my Cisco IP Desk Phone, I see "no active call" on my Jabber client.  The only information I could find slighlty relevant was using the Mobility Key/Remote Destination Profile feature however this defeats the object as this will forward to an external number, e.g. mobile and I just want to transfer the call within the VOIP environment between the two devices that are using the same directory number.
    I am using Cisco Call Manager 9.1(2), Cisco Presence 9.1 and Cisco Jabber for IPhone 9.5.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Paul Parker.

    Did you ever find an answer to this ?
    I am seeing the same behavior and trying so see if I can put calls on hold and pick them up both ways also.
    The only answer I seem to have found is to use park instead
    That would/should work but I would just prefer to hold/unhold
    Just not sure why we would not be able to hold/unhold on what is essentially a "shared" line
    Does anyone have this working for them ?

  • 3G or E not showing up on phone and internet not working

    I have a 3G phone and saw it said no service the other day so I rebooted and it had ATT with the bars but no 3G or E. Therefore I have no internet service unless on WIFI, am 9 days out of warrenty, and my husband's 3G is working fine on his iphone 4. I have tried the following and have an appt with apple Saturday if I can't get this resolved.
    reboot of phone
    take sim in and out then reboot
    restore
    network settings reset
    checked to make sure 3G and cellular settings were enabled

    Issues with phone numbers not displaying properly can be caused by the Skype extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

    Downloaded apps or built-in Apple apps?
    For downloaded apps:
    Try downloading any new free or paid app from the App Store. See if your other apps work.
    For built-in Apple apps:
    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Switching from a 4g to 3g phone and then back ..weekly.. sim card?

    If this has been asked already I apologize...I've seen different answers and I just want to get it straight.
    If I have a 4g phone ( sim card) and want to go back to a 3g phone (I'd like to do this several times a week). How can I do this without requiring a new sim card? Before, between 3g phones, all I had to do was call *228 and that was that...can anyone explain the easy way to do this?

    So I got a Samsung s4 when it was free upgrade and then I switched back to my basic cell phone so I could give the S4 away., I've done this switching from smartphone to basic phone multiple times in the past and each time they removed the data plan after I switched back to a basic phone.
    This is exactly why they changed the policy. They were losing money on the smartphone you would by, but then only pay access charge for voice and no data. The data profit was built into their business model to pay for the higher price of the smartphone.

  • Phone and Internet not working after switch to Fibre

    Hello
    I got a text saying my switch from regular to Fibre was complete today at 4pm but it's not 11pm and my phone is not working nor my internet
    Is this normal ? I understand the connection will be temporarily stopped for the Internet but the phone too ? Sorry if the answers are on the forum but I'm just a tad confused at the minute

    It can officially take until midnight for the switchover to happen, so there is a chance you may still get the services tonight.
    However, there is also the chance that Openreach have messed it up. Essentially, if you've still got nothing in the morning, contact Sky and report it.
