From Homehub to Homehub 2.0 : A backward step?

Due to the death of my old Homehub, I have had to "upgrade" to Homehub 2.
Over the last couple of years with my old hub, I have reliably had 6.5Mb connection speeds. With my new hub I now have 5Mb connection speed..... and I periodically loose my broadband, which is only restored by pressing the Restart button on the hub.
The only thing that has changed is the hub, everything else is the same. I have tried my old filter and cables, but no difference.
Any ideas guys??
Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
I have changed my hub again and now have a stable connection.
I have let everything settle down for a while and have tested my speed...... its 5mB. BT and Speedtest.net both give the same figure. I have had 6.5Mb for years, which was backed up by BT originally saying i could acheive this.
BT ARE RESTRICTING MY SPEED TO 5Mb AND ARE NOW SAYING THAT I CAN ONLY ACHIEVE 5Mb. I believe that with a limited amount of bandwidth available in my area, more BT customers, and more people using BT Vision, they have downgraded my speed to give to others. A 20% decrease in my download speed is unacceptable for the money i am paying and the amount of time i have been with them. If the cost had gone down 20% then maybe it wouldnt be quite so hard to swallow.
Come on BT deny it all and call me a liar!!!
When renewal time comes around i will have some thinking to do.
I'm not BT, and I'm not calling you a liar...however, I find it extremely unlikely that BT would have any knowledge of your change of Hub, and that they took that as a cue to somehow restrict your line is even more unlikely.
What is possible is that the different chipsets in the two devices interact differently with the equipment at the exchange end. It's quite common for eg certain routers to perform better than others on long lines. I have a very short line here that syncs at 8096Kbps with a V1 Homehub. I previously used a Netgear router which never got above ~7500Kbps.
Are you referring to ADSL sync speed, or the results of some or other speedtest site ?
Can you post your ADSL stats, and the results from speedtester.bt.com ?

Is iPhoto 11 a backward step from iPhotos 8 and 9?

After a couple of years of dithering, I was about to splash the cash on iLife 11 a few minutes ago when I read a number of user reviews saying that several good features from earlier versions had been dropped or made more awkward to use.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B003XKRZES/ref=pdcp_sw_h__0_cm_cr_acrimg?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
I am currently using iPhoto 08 and would appreciate any info on the pros and cons of the new version from people who have used all three.
Incidentally, I am not really interested in gimmicks such as having Apple turn my photos into books (for a tidy sum!) or face recognition . . . . . . though I am prepared to have my attitude changed.

I note two common themes in those comments:
Yes, Full Screen is different, and you can see what it's like on this page:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/
Note the image top right: that's full screen with the Info Pane open. Further down the page ("FaceBook Enhancements") you'll see it in Viewing mode (albeit with the Share pop up). Note the Menu bars top and bottom.
I'll put it mildy and say these changes have drawn adverse comment.
The other area mentioned in those posts is emailing, and that is different. Emails are made in HTML and sent from within iPhoto. There is no other mail client involved. If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
or
2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2627690&tstart=0
As a general comment:
There are no core enhancements to how iPhoto imports, edits, organises your photos in iPhoto 11. What changes there are relate to sharing (by email, FaceBook etc, and Printed materials) and display. I don't know that I'd regard it as a "backward" step, but if you like your current Fill Screen View, if you don't want to change how you email from iPhoto etc, then you might want to consider the purchase a little longer.

Can anyone explain the backwards step from 2.93 to 2.8?

I have a 17" 2.93 macbook pro now i see the clock speeds reach 3.06 is this just an overclocked 2.93? why did they stop making the 2.93 it seems they took a backward step back down to the 2.8? is there a reason for this...what is the difference between the new 3.06 and my 2.93 is it just clock speed and hd space? or am i missing something..... would i even notice a difference in using a 2.93 and a 3.06 when rendering video? according to apples past history i would think they would offer 2.93 as the bottom end and the 3.06 as the upgrade like they did with the 2.4 and 2.6 and 2.2 and 2.4. was the 2.93 chip just not that great i have had trouble with 2 other 2.93 mbp that i had to have replaced.
thanks

Processor speed by Mhz doesn't really indicate how fast a machine in. The Mhz myth is as true as it ever was. What really makes a difference in the speed of the machine is software, and the speed of your hard drive, and the amount of time the machine spends processing on the hard drive versus the physical RAM. If there is parallel processing across cores in the processor, that helps for those tasks that take advantage of it. http://www.everymac.com/ is good about telling you the exact processor model used on each Mac. You can then look at Intel's specs about those processors to determine how many cores, bus speed, the machine uses. The website:
http://www.barefeats.com/
is a good benchmark website, but note that benchmarks may vary according to configuration, quality of RAM, access times on the hard drive, access to optical drive, energy saver power settings, etc...

FROM DVD DIRECTLY TO MPEG-4 IN ONE STEP?
is there like a program that could rip and convert dvds to moeg4 with like ONE program??

Maybe I have been lucky but all the DVD's I have converted have remained in sync... however I do tend to batch run mine overnight so don't pause the software or have it interuptions by other processor operations... ok it should work well whether you do this or not but as I don't have a monster PC with the latest processor and bags of RAM I find it more practical to use the software as I'm doing...

How to take reports from miro t-code please explain in a step by step manner?

How to take reports from miro t-code please explain in a step by step manner?

I just did as you said (I think), but it's still having the same behaviour as before (same data for all EVS in the table).
Here´s what I did:
I
In node "Detail" (cardinality 0...n, singleton set to true), which is binded to the table, I created a child node named "Column1Values" wth cardinality 1...1 and singleton set to false.
"Column1Values" node has an attribute called "column1", of type String.
I did the binding between attribute "column1" and the column1 inputfield celleditor in the table.
I created an event called Column2Changed and binded it to the column2 celleditor of the table. I added a parameter called nodeElement of type IPrivateCompView.IDetailElement to this event, and mapped it to the column2 editor in the table so that I can dynamically get the nodeElement that is being affected.
I added the following code to the onActionColumn2Changed(wdEvent, nodeElement) method that gets created in the view:
IWDAttributeInfo attrInfo = nodeElement.nodeColumn1Values().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("column1");
ISimpleTypeModifiable siType = attrInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet<String> value = siType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
if(this.initRFC_Input(nodeElement.getColumn2())){
     for(int i =0; i < wdContext.nodeRFCresults().size(); i++){
          value.put(wdContext.nodeRFCresults().getRFCresultsElementAt(i).getId(),
                              wdContext.nodeRFCresults().getRFCresultsElementAt(i).getDesc());
And with this, I still get the original problem... When the EVS of one row is updated, ALL other EVS of the table get also updated with the same values.
What am I missing? Sorry Govardan, I bet I'm not seeing something really obvious... hopefully you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Upgrade from Homehub 2 to Homehub 3

Just wanted to rant and blow off some steam.
Ive had two Homehub 2's so far as one completley shutdown and the 2nd just keeps dropping wireless signal and lagging.
Usually pressing the reset button resolves this for a day or so.
The blue indicator lights are solid, and even tho ive replaced the wires and microfilters etc.
Nothing near the router to affect it either.
Ive put up with this for a while and now that the homehub 3 is now available I thought how hard would it be to ask Bt to assist a customer !
After my 1st e mail I got a call from an oversea's call centre who passed me to a uk help centre.
As soon as the woman realised im under contract until Dec 11 she said all i Can do is pass you onto the techy dept.
If you were out of contract then I could help you, she said before transferring me.
After a while I was cut off.
No problem I thought they have my details and will call me back.................... well no they didnt.
I e mailed again and got a call from the techy dept from a guy who I confirmed what was happening to my broadband connection.
He told me that he had the homehub 3 and it was not as good as the tv adverts made it out to be and would just have to put up with the drop outs. He could only sell me a homehub 3 for just under £50.
I asked for a replacement homehub2 and he said that would not make a difference.
I did say well I may have to look at other ISP providers and he told me the date when I was out of contract and that bt would provide me with a mac code if required. And ended the call.
To top it all off I got an e mail from a Bt customer service follow up asking for my feedback !
Well feedback is what they got !
Ive been with bt for many many years and would expect a lot more customer service than the feeling I got which was we have you in a contract , so there !
Rant over................

Hi.
It's only a few months till the end of your contract. if so there is the possibilty to renew on terms that are more advantageous to you.
Lower monthly payment/Free months, Maybe a new hub.
When your contract is due for renewal, you hold the upper hand, be firm but polite and use a bit of negotiating skill to get some of what you want.
Wireless can be terrible, I have a toughened glass door a few feet away from my router and if the door is open /ajar the glass deflects the wireless signal, so now have wired it up.

I have a wifi blackspot 4metres from homehub 3.0, ...

I must say how unimpressed I am with the service I received today.
I am quite TECH savvy, but still I followed all of requests made by tech help, I was even forwarded to BT TECH in Newcastle, and a very helpful tech man confirmed my thoughts. I have a blackspot, the only real solution that we both came up with was Home Networking Plugs, but shockingly expensive, especially for the amount I pay BT already (only because they are less likely to throttle that any other ISP)
I spent more than enough time trying to sort this out , Does anyone else have a solution to possibly help? (even though Techman says Homeplug the only real solution)
Ethernet not possible as I would have to drill through 2 walls (not going to happen)
Complaints chat was like banging my head against a brick wall... unimpressed, I thought i would get some help there, just got a rather BLUNT "we ARE NOT making you buy the home networking plugs"
Well the truth is they ARE if I want to use anything that uses WIFi in a room that is only 4 metres away from the homehub.
Any solutions would be appreciated , or maybe a alternative way to contact about complaints .
Many thanks either way

homeplugs would solve problem and special deal on amazon right now

Slow broadband after upgrading from Homehub 2 to 4

Upgraded from our old, dependable Homehub 2 a couple of moths ago. Was offered Homehub 4. Since then, with nothing else changing, we found the speed to be a lot slower, both on wired (Ethernet) connections and with wireless. We have quite a few devices connected (3 PC's, 1 AppleTV box on Ethernet and a couple of IPad 2's, Wii and couple of phones on WiFi) but didn't have a problem before. I am seriously thinking about putting my Homehub 2 back. Can anyone throw any light or give any suggestions as to why we have these speed and connection issues? TIA<script charset="UTF-8" type="application/javascript" src="chrome://hdv/content/hdv.js"></script>

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Slowed download connection from HomeHub v1

Hi all,
I've just recently upgraded from the "up to 8Mb" service to the "up to 20Mb" package.
All seems pretty good at the moment as I've only been connected 3 days. My upload speeds have improved nicely from ~0.25Mbps to around and sometimes over 1Mbps and my downloads have improved from around 6.5Mbps to over 10Mbps. But those figures are from my wireless PC upstairs in my office.
(My HomeHub is in the living room downstairs, as it has to have a wired connection to the Vision+ box. (Huh!....why can't that be wireless??)
When I try my laptop wirelessly, I get similar performance too, but when I connect my laptop to the HomeHub with a wired connection, I consistently get a 16Mbps download (+60% over the wireless connection). Does that sound right? I've moved the HomeHub so it is about 30cm from the wall: it isn't too close to radiators, the microvave or the fridge in the next room behind said wall.
So it seems that the best way to go is WIRED! Right? Luckily, I have a spur from my incoming telephone line that splits to go downstairs to the living room and one which goes upstairs to the bedroom's phone socket. the wire passes around my office's door to get to the bedroom, so could a junction box be installed here to enable a wired connection into my office?
Here are my Stats after 3 days of the "up to 20Mb" service:-
Test1 comprises of two tests 1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed 7254 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed 21000 Kbps
Download speedachieved during the test was - 7254 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 4000-21000 Kbps.
Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :18938 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 1275 Kbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 16000 Kbps The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 16.68:26.06:57.27 (SBE:NBEBE) These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic. The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes.
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information. Upload Speed 964 Kbps Max Achievable Speed 1275 Kbps >Upload speed achieved during the test was - 964 Kbps Additional Information: Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 1275 Kbps

Strange Clicking Noise Coming from HomeHub 2

Hi All
Ive got a 8 month old BT Home Hub 2 (Black) Type "A" I think it is.. Recently, I have noticed it starts to emit a strange frequent Clicking sound like someone tapping a metal needle on a desktop frequently or like a relay going on and off.. It doesnt reboot or anything and works quite normally.. We dont use the Hub Phone function on it at all, just use it for Vision and Broadband. it also seems to get rather hot sometimes.
Is this normal? I am slightly worried its going to blow up on me or something, esp as we leave it switched on all the time when we are not in the house.
Any ideas?

Hi john
Having owned several type A's, all bar one of mine would only click once when booting up. I don't recall hearing any further clicks until they were rebooted (either automatically or manually). The BBTalk side of things will always be active, regardless to not being active....
The one I owned that did multiple clicks only did this as the software failed on a reset - continually rebooting with all lights flashing on and off.
As your hub is only 8 months old, it should still be under gurantee and BT should replace it foc under warranty.
You can if you so wish, call the BT help line 08001114567 and state it keeps clicking and you are concerned.
If you're not happy to leave it on, turn it off at night*, until a replacemnet is sent.
*If it is starting to fail, it may never switch back on...

PS3 Ethernet not detected from homehub 3

Hi all, new to BT Infinity and are having an issue setting up my PS3 using an ethernet connection. It connects wirelessly with no problems, but when I try to make a wired connection, the PS3 says no ethernet connection is detected. I have been through my hubs settings but can find nothing on switching ports on and off.
It does not seem to matter which port I am plugged into either. Any help is much appreciated.

The home hub uses a different IP subnet than many other routers. You will have to reset the network settings on the PS3 so that it gets a new IP address, and DNS servers.
Better still, assign it a static IP address as described below.
Using static IP addresses on your home network
Pay special attention to the bit about the PS3 at the end.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
