Free Speed Upgrade - NOT FREE!

I signed up for the My Rewards to get the free speed upgrade advertised, and in my bill, there is a promo in there:
Specials and Promotions
7/25 8/24FiOS Quantum 1 Mo. Credit
-10.00
Does this mean we will be seeing a $10 price hike next month? If so, this is blatant FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

It sounds like you signed up for FiOS Quantum in addition to the free speed update.
Quantum is a TV product/service and has nothing to do with Internet speed. I signed up for Rewards+ to get the free speed upgrade and I do not have that $10 credit, nor any mention of Quantum, on my current bill.

One Year Free Speed Upgrade Confusion

Just received a letter from Verizon offering to double my download speed from 3.0 to 7.3M. Tried to do it on-line but the website listed in the letter wouldn't take my username and password info. Called the number in the letter to look into the upgrade. First agent I spoke to was all set to upgrade me then told me my 327 wireless router/modem could not handle the upgrade and I had to buy a new unit for $39.99. Didn't sound right to me so I told Verizon to forget it.
As things go with these call centers, I decided to try again with a different agent. This one told me my cost would actually increase because I didn't have bundled service. Wrong again - I do have bundled service - phone, broadband and wireless. Strike two!
Tried again and the third agent was clueless.
My past experience with Verizon has been good but this makes me wonder.

Ahh, I see what you're asking now. Basically, you're wondering if, when Windows 10 comes out, will you get a retail license of Windows 10 to replace your 8.1 license, or an OEM license that's based on the machine that you upgraded.
Based on the statements from Microsoft, I'm guessing the upgrade will be an OEM license. Gabe Aul, through his tweets, has been very clear to point out that upgrading a system to Windows 10 will get free updates
for the life of the system. This, to me, sounds very much like an OEM license - the license, and free updates, offer dies when the system dies.
Now, Microsoft could change this offer so it upgrades your retail key as well - always allows you to activate as many Windows 10 machines as your retail key allows. But based on the statements coming from Microsoft, I don't think
is likely.
I was reading about the licenses the other day but it wasn't specific for Windows 10. But what it said basically when you buy a PC with OEM windows (Say a Dell). Your licensing is Dell basically licensing Windows to you. Technically Dell could refuse
to do warranty work if you upgrade an OEM Home version with a retail Pro version. I did actually have that happen to me once with Gateway. Once I told them I didn't buy Windows from them they said i needed to call MS even though it was a hardware issue.
The way MS used to do when a new OS was coming out they had OEM sell computers with the old OS and and agreement to get the new OS for free when it came out. You signed up and you actually got the upgrade for the OEM. People would get upset as some OEM's
were faster the others. So they may do this the same way and if you have the retail you get it through MS. That's just a guess.

BT Infinity free speed upgrade?

Hi,
So in late 2011/ 2012 when Infinity gets boosted to 80Mbps, any news on whether current customers, Option 1 or 2, will be getting the upgrade to the faster speeds for free?
Any ideas when BT might announce this?
Cheers.

It's definitely happening the question is will there be an extra charge for the speed increase.
Or will BT treat it like the ADSL to ADSL2+ exchange upgrades where people benefited from faster speeds for no increase in charges and not even having to start a new contract...

Do you know the old saying !!!!!
Hi Toekneem
Well I reckon Bt may have shot themselves in the foot..... If they are thinking of charging????
The reason I say that is because people in these "hard times" may feel happy on their 37Mbps and not fork out extra.
I have a dicky wireless n USB adapter where most times on turn on it only works at wireless g speeds around 21mbps and I often forget to switch it up to the n speed of 37Mbps.
Now you would think I'd notice this drop in speed but to be honest most times I don't.
So I wonder if I would really notice around 74mbps?
Now don't get me wrong if it was offered to me for say starting 18month contract again then I would probably take it just to impress my friend who are currently plodding along on 3Mbps with O2 and 4Mbps with TT.
It would really serve me right if it was only offered FREE to Infinity option 2 customers... me being on the economical opt 1

Free CS6 upgrade for student master collection at $599?

Our school sells the Master Collection for $599 (currently CS5.5). I would like to buy it and the school staff assures me that I'd get the free upgrade to CS6 if I bought it now. However, that price (which they've had for awhile now, and is not listed as a special or sale price for them) seems to be less than the normal educational price for the Master Collection. They say the price will go up when they have CS6 to sell.
The adobe upgrade policy says that the following are invalid: "Receipts showing a product price that is discounted more than 25% off the Adobe retail or educational price (some product exceptions apply)"
What is the regular educational price for the CS5.5 Master Collection and does a purchase now at my school qualify for the free upgrade to CS6 Master Collection when it is released? The price listed on the adobe site for CS6 Master Collection is $799, which would make our school's price 25.03% off that.
I want to buy now but want to be sure to qualify for the discount.
2nd question: if this is eligible for the upgrade, can I buy the Mac version and then switch to the PC version later? Our school is out of stock on the PC collection and won't get any in until May 4th. (which is cutting it very close to cutoff date for eligibility on upgrades).

I'm also in the same situation, kind of. I already got my cs5.5 master collection through my school on the 26th. But every other post I've read about the upgrade only says Creative Suite cs5.5 will get upgrade. So I'm trying to find out if people who got the master collection (which comes with the Creative Suites) are eligible for upgrades complimentary? Any help answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unless changes were made to the 6100 series that spares dealers don't know about then the processor is not soldered direct to the board, a locking zif socket is used.
Sorry Rachel, now we're into unknown territory. I looked at http://www.impactcomputers.com/p000363550.html as an example and then using the CPU ID sl6j5 to http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sspec=sl6j5 which indeed is an M processor. Extra parts to consider possibly; the heatsink & fan assembly. As stated before, the current one may only be rated to match the processor originally fitted, on the other hand it may be ok. I suspect nothing else would need changing - I have no idea if Tosh would have limited the BIOS to recognise only one or two CPU types per model (unlikely).
The warnings given by Quad and Andrej re disassembly are extremely important so where possible obtain a service manual prior to doing anything. I have a 6000 copy which may be the same layout, be meticulous in your work. Screws have identifying letter/number combinations meaning differnt types and lengths and must be returned to the correct locations. Some are also supposed to be discarded and new ones put in as they have a vibration proof seal to prevent coming loose, as you will not be doing this, tighten well (not over) and double check your work. The insides are full of delicate cable and wires attaching various parts do not force or pull sharply on anything, lift gently look and trace connections - remember to note the locations and orientation. Plastics are held by regular and often mirrored pips, these are prone to break if not carefully eased apart. If the case is not giving, check for hidden screws under labels or inside compartments like battery/RAM/CD/DVD. The CPU must always be refitted with fresh thermal compound and as everything is tightly packed keep it clean and use sparingly but sufficient to coat the surface thinly. Take care when unlocking/locking the processor that you do not slip - disaster if you hit the SMD components they will break. Once assembled a gentle shake will determine if anything has been forgotten or fallen out and watch out for the left over screw at the end!! The whole process can be very daunting so approach only if you have the utmost confidence and can live with repercussions - nothing is guaranteed.
And don't forget - anti-static precautions at all times!

After I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free app upgrades for the apps I have on my iPad/iPhone/iMac which i had previously purchased. Itunes tells me I "don't own the major versions".

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Bruce

Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

Verizon down half a day, then suddenly free speed upgrade?

Well, this is not a complaint or support, but just curious. I hope its perminant and not temporary
Today 13-Oct-11 I found that the internet was gone for half the day. I got up to use the computer at 10am and notice no connection. Looked at the router and notice there was no dsl signal. Reset the router, even shut it off and still no signal.. Check the phone and there was a dial tone..
Thought to myself maybe its just a minor outage so will be back up later.. not urgent anyways. You would see the router DSL light turn a evil red color, and then go off, at one point the light stayed red for 30 sec before going out again. 2PM no internet still, I threw my hands up and said, well better stop slacking and get some errands done. Went out and came back about 5pm and the internet was up. I thought great its back..
Then sometime around 8 or 9 PM EST, the internet went down again.. and it had trouble connecting... so I thought to myself.. oh no not another outage.. about 5 min later the internet came back... but this time... I got faster speed then I normally get! I thought to myself AWSOME!!
How much faster did I get?
Normal 1784kbps down
384kbps up
Now I remember back then when they offered 3Mbps for the price I was paying, the person on the phone said that the 1.5Mbps was the best I can get for my line.. so I gave up and kept the default one, then after the outage I now got much better speed. I still don't get the 3Mbps.. but I think it was a fair trade... my new speeds are...
New Speed: 2112kbps down
832kbps up
I checked the router and notice that the signal noise is the same nothing has changed, just suddenly more speed. I got OVER 2x the upload speed!! and a 300+kbps speed increase! This came after that weird 5 min of downtime we had.. We have more upload speed then what was given to residentials on the website.. ( can't find it now) Residents suppose to get up to 448Kbps upload and business suppose to get up to 1mbps on there ultimate plan but 768Kbps on the plans below that.
I really hope verizon did not make a mistake and everything will revert back to the old values, otherwise I might have to bug and call verizon to give me higher speeds because I know I can take it..
I just wonder if I reached my router limitation.. The router I have is a Westell 327W that is sort of going bad, was going to bug verizon to see if they will give me a new one, but since I got these much better speeds I don't wanna switch it out now
Here are my router stats if anyone is curious:
Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream Path
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 2112 832
Margin (dB) 20.5 10.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 53.0 31.5
Transmit Power (dBm) 17.1 11.9
Since technically the 2112 is withing the 3Mb limit I hope I get to keep it, also I hope to keep the upload speed though I wonder if they set it to high since customers are suppose to be limited to 448Kbps? don't get me wrong I love the new upload. Websites and games seem much faster since we have had problem with people playing multiplayer while someone else is trying to load a video.
P.S The westell 327W Is the first or second gen it is only ADSL and not ADSL2 it is the A90 series.
P.P.S. I did a IP lookup and it looks like its about the same location though I don't know where the nearest co-location is so I assume its based about the area where the IP is?
Also anyone know if verizon has a new 2Mb tier setting? I think I read somewhere, they set you to 1.5Mbps tier or 3Mbps tier, but never heard of a 2Mb tier.
I do have old copper phone wires.. still hoping one day I get to at least 3Mbps.. but until then. I am acutally happy with these new speeds, (hope I don't see new charges and hope it don't revert back to the old 1.5mbps or nerf the upload speed. I kinda like having better upload for playing games with others online.)

Almost the exact same thing happened to me up in Woonsocket. Except DSL came back on at 7pm. First thing I did was check my stats on my Westell W327 A90-327W15-06 (had since 2005):
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec)     2112     864
Margin (dB)     16.0     10.0
Line Attenuation (dB)     49.0     31.5
Transmit Power (dBm)     16.7     11.9
The margin drops to 14 but the connection speed is still the same!! Was really thing of jumping to Cox (only other choice, if you call it that, in RI), for the past several weeks my speed would drop to below dialup speeds for a few hours a day. I know it's not on my end as they put a new drop from the pole to my house last year replacing the old wire that had been here since at least the '50s!! But if the speed stays I'll stick with Verzion as long as the price doesn't go up again. I noticed they jacked up my DSL portion of my bill $2 again to $33.99 and calling it Internet Extra.

Leopard to Snow Leopard free upgrade for MobileMe users?

Hi
I've recently acquired an iMac and wanted to upgrade to Lion, however I believe I need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard first - which could prove to end up costing a fortune!
I've read recently that Apple are offering the upgrade to Snow Leopard free of charge for MobileMe users, however when I've followed a link to fill in a request form, this just takes me to the Find My Phone feature on iCloud.
Does anyone know if this free upgrade is still available, and if so how can I go about getting it?
Thanks

OK, perhaps that was an exaggeration saying it will cost me a small fortune. Just seemed a bit silly spending money to upgrade and then upgrade again, if there is a more cost effective way to do it, but perhaps that's just me.
I've cut and paste the Mac info below; as I said, I'm really useless with techy stuff like this, so this really means very little to me.
I'm still getting used to going to the top left of the screen to close down a window rather than top right!

I bought the macbook pro few months ago can i get the lion upgrade for free as a part of my software support?

i bought the macbook pro few months ago can i get the lion upgrade for free as a part of my software support?

They announced it; sorry, no free Lion:
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request."

No free upgrade for Logic 7 purchased 2 weeks ago (august 27)

I purchased Logic Express 7 on August 27 (16 days ago). I just contacted the apple store via online chat, and here is the transcript. I'm feeling seriously ripped off at the moment.
* You are chatting with Caissa, an Apple Expert
Hi, my name is Caissa. Welcome to Apple!
Caissa: Good evening
Caissa: How may I help you today?
You: Hi.
You: I purchased Logic Express 7 on August 27, and Logic Express 8 just came out.
You: It would be most distressing if I don't get a free upgrade.
You: How do I get my upgrade to logic express 8?
Caissa: At this time there is no free upgrade available.
Caissa: You would need to purchase the new suite.
You: That is terrible.
You: As a new apple user, I must register my deepest dissatisfaction.
Caissa: Sorry to hear that.
*

Today I summoned the zen patience to call Apple and complain, and they did help me. I explained that not only had I bought LE7 since 8/1, I had also bought my first mac since 8/1. Although I had to wait on hold for 15 minutes for Applecare, and then get transferred to "customer care" (another 7 minutes on hold), they agreed to send me the upgrade for free. I didn't get a refund of the price difference (perhaps I should have asked; that was not offered). I'm prepared to write off the "overpayment", since I'm not being charged for the upgrade.
FYI, one thing that they seem to have taken seriously, besides the above -- I was experiencing frequent system hangs (screeen grays out a bit and says to hold down the power button a few seconds to kill the system). Apparently the stability problems I was having with LE7 are known to Apple. This angle might work for customers who bought long before the new release...
Thanks for the friendly suggestions. I hope this may help somebody else avoid feeling ripped off. The "stop whining" crowd, though that position is not entirely without merit, can still bite me ;-p

I downloaded the free upgrade for OS X Mavericks can you delete a download before installation ? i don't want it after reading reviews.

i downloaded the free upgrade for OS X Mavericks, can i delete this download before installation ? i don't want it after reading reviews.

Yes, it's in your Applications folder and is called "Install OS X". Make sure to empty your trash afterwards to clear the space.

How to redeem a free upgrade for OS X Lion

I just buy a new macbook pro on 10 July, how can i redeem the free upgrade for OS X Lion?
As many people say, can redeem through Itunes, but when i click in the redeem at the Quick Link, it want me to enter my gift card or other iTunes Code.
What should i do with the code? Where can i get the code?

I just purchase MacBookPro 2011 Version (MC700). May I know how can I claim free upgrade for OS X Lion?
I note that you marked correct a response that seems to assume you just bought the machine and are interested in a free Mountain Lion update, but you state your machine is a 2011 model. I'm not sure whether that was a typo or there was a miscommunication, but it's important to understand that the Lion Up-to-Date program ended a while ago. If you are hoping to update to Lion for free, you've missed the boat on that one, and you definitely won't qualify for the Mountain Lion Up-to-Date program. If you want Lion, you'll need to buy it. If you wait a month, though, you can get Mountain Lion instead for $10 cheaper (Mountain Lion will only be $20, Lion is $30), and you can upgrade straight from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

Speed Upgrade Advertised For $5 More Per Month Can't Get Any Answers

On Verizon's website is a speed upgrade to 75/75 for just $5 per month more. When I click on the button to order it it comes up as $10 per month more.On Verizon's Facebook page I posted this 3 times and each time my post was answered quickly and I was told they would look into it and get back to me. No one ever got back to me. The offer is on Verizon's website when I am logged in,
http://www.verizon.com/home/MLP/quantum75.html?X1=FQU512&CMP=DMC-CVD_ZZ_FD_E_DM_N_X00015

I can speak from experience on this as I ran into the same situation a couple months ago. A rep. even tried to get me the $5 offer to no success. He could only get it to reflect $10 more. He said something goes on with the system that causes these pricing errors (yet Verizon never fixes them). I was told to wait a week and check the offer again once the system gets updated. I waited a week, checked again and was able to get the offer. My suggestion is to do the same. Wait a week and check again or keep checking daily.
