Getting BT Infinity for my block of flats?
Hi,
I have read a lot of post about people confused about why they can't get BT Infinity when their neighbours can. My question is similar but maybe a bit more specific.
So I live in Crystal Palace, London. My flat is part of a 1920's development (approximately 64 flats within 4 blocks) located away from the street.
All the other properties on my street and the next which it turns into can get 'BT Infinity' (this includes all the regular houses, a 1960's block and even the Church and local community hall opposite.
I have checked the 'Openreach' site as well as the 'FTTC checker' where you can find your nearest exchange and they all use the same as my address but we are the only ones that don't receive 'Fiber to the Cabinet'.
Is this a specific issue with my block of flat rather than the exchange and is it possible for my management company find out if there are any problems with the building like old wiring that needs to be updated etc?
I've exhaust the internet and this forum, so if anyone can add anything that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Tom
send an email to this address [email protected]
openreach will email you back but may take a weekor so and give you information on your line and if infinity will be available and estimated date
giving your phone number and cabinet number

Bt infinity in a block of flats
Okay so I finally moved out from my parents house and bought a flat with my girl friend, however We are a bit broadband crippled here, I'm currently with Sky Broadband ( Naughty I know being with another provider and posting in a BT forum)
Becasue we live in a flat would that be a problem for BT infinty, I have just watched the "How to install BT infinty video" on the BT.com website and it says that a BT engineer would come into the property and install a fibre optic phone socket then connect the fibre optic line directly into the socket its self. I assume the block of flat's them selfs will have loads of internal copper wiring going to various other flats and what not.
BT infinity is due to be rolled out on the 30th of june and I wondered if I'd be okay to get it.
The fastest I can get here is 5mb Download and0.5mb upload with ADSL
Help would be great on this subject
thanksAhhh I see, I,ve never seen one of the "big green cabinets" near me . I guess I'm not in the roll out area yet, The road where I live on atm, all the houses, even the road was built in 2008 Do you think they will have already put fibre optic's inside the internal structure of the buildings to enable it for the switch over. We dont even have telephone poles here with the lines going accross the street. I think all the wiring is underground
Just a quick edit, Ive found this in the next street

How do I get the Label for a Front Panel Control to appear in the Block Diagram but not on the Front Panel? On the Front Panel I am making a complex control that consists of a Slider and a Numerical Input box. Both Controls display the same information and either can be used for Input. When one changs, the other is made to display the same value.
But I only want the Slider to display the Label on the Front Panel, to avoid confusion. On the Block Diagram however, I want both controls to display their Labels so that I know what they are. How do I display the Label for a Control on the Block diagram, but not display its Label on the Front Panel?No. The Label Visible property is separate for the front panel control label and the block diagram terminal label.
How did you start out with the block diagram's label not being visible? Whenever I drop a control or indicator, the label is always visible on both the FP and BD by default. Maybe there is a LabVIEW option that causes new controls/indicators not to have their labels visible by default, but I have yet to find it. I don't think an item should ever be dropped without the label visible, good LabVIEW coding practice demands that the labels for control terminals on the block diagram be visible so that you know what control or indicator a wire is going to.
That being said, I have seen a lot of VI's posted where the label for the terminal on the BD is not shown (against good programming practice.) I've gone to the BD and right clicked to show the label. Sometimes, the people have an empty label (which will turn off the visibility for both the FP and BD) and I'm forced to add some text of my own into the label so I can figure out what their code is doing. When I add some text to the label, at that time, I find both the BD and FP labels become visible.
Are you dealing with controls that have empty labels to start?
Good programming practices:
1. Always have a name for all of your controls, never use and empty label by deleting the text in the label.
2. Make the labels unique. For example, don't have two controls both called Stop. How do you know quickly know which terminal relates to which control?
3. Always show the labels on the block diagram, so you know the function of a control's terminal. If you want to hide the label on the FP, that's okay.
4. If you want a different label to appear on the FP than whatever you actually called the control, then use the caption. You can hide the label and show the caption. This is useful if you need to programmatically change what the "label" is on the front panel such if you are making an application that needs to change its user interface such as for a foreign language. -
Since downloading the update recommended by Java yesterday, whenever I try and get into the crossword where I used it, I get the message 'plug-in blocked'. How can I 'unblock' it?

Which consistent get for which block
Hello Experts,
I have conducted an experiment at SQL*PLUS. I created a small table with 100 rows and then create an ununique index on the id column.
SQL> alter system flush shared_pool;
Sistem dei■tirildi.
SQL> create table small as
2 select rownum id, 'BOWIE' name from dual connect by level <= 100;
SQL> create index small_id_i on small(id);
SQL> alter session set tracefile_identifier = '100114_deneme2';
Oturum dei■tirildi.
SQL> exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(waits => true);
PL/SQL yordam² ba■ar²yla tamamland².
SQL> select * from small where id = 44;

SQL> exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_disable;
PL/SQL yordam² ba■ar²yla tamamland².
After executed the above, I looked the trace file. The following excerpt was taken from end of the trace file.

My question is; Although this is very small table, I created an index. As you can see there are 3 consistent gets arise (cr=3). There is no doubt that the first consistent get happen on leaf block and the other on the table block. However, Does the third consistent get happen on which block?
In my opinion, The last consistent get should be on table block. Becacuse, according to the following thread (https://community.oracle.com/message/10711767). As far as I know from Solomon, there is fetch and there is prefetch. SQL*PLUS is written in OCI and in OCI prefetch defaults to 1. So, if you issue a query on SQL*PLUS and if this query returns one or more rows the first fetch and the second fetch should be on the same table block.
Also, can't we say that the last cr happen on table block by looking explain plan? Because, as it can be seen, cr was icreamented when table access by index rowid small line.
STAT #5 id=1 cnt=1 pid=0 pos=1 obj=76014 op='TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID SMALL (cr=3 pr=0 pw=0 time=0 us cost=2 size=20 card=1)'
STAT #5 id=2 cnt=1 pid=1 pos=1 obj=76015 op='INDEX RANGE SCAN SMALL_ID_I (cr=2 pr=0 pw=0 time=0 us cost=1 size=0 card=1)'
My second question, What can we do in order to understand which consistent get happen on which block (file# block# etc.)? Can't we understand by looking the trace file?
My third question is, before issue the select query on table. I flushed the shared pool. Does it make the parse 52 cr (Because of recursive calls)???

I also trace 10200 event, if you want I also can show 10200 trace file. I didn't show it because I don't know how to read 10200 trace event.
Thanks in advance.For example following 10200 trace event arised by select * from small where id = 42;

Questions on getting BT Infinity in apartment
Hello,
I am considering moving into a new build apartment in Manchester, and have some questions regarding the possibility of getting fibre optic broadband there.
Using the online checker, the post code brings up a positive result for the availability of Infinity, with other properties in the area able to get it (the property I am interested in isn't listed yet).
As I understand it, this indicates the road-side cabinet will be connected to the exchange by fiber-optic cable. Given that the "up to 76 mbps" service is an FTTC product, and not FTTP, am I right in saying that there is no need for any fiber-optic or special coaxial cable connection from the cabinet to the apartment itself to get BT Infinity? Would it be sufficient to simply have an ordinary copper phone line between the cabinet and the apartment if I'm happy to settle for an FTTC product (the developer states the apartments in the block are all fitted with standard BT phone lines)?
If so, would the modem simply plug into the standard BT phone socket just as an ordinary ADSL modem would?
I'm assuming that if there is no need for fibre-optic cable between the cabinet and the apartment with an FTTC product, then there would be no need for any modifications to the wiring of the property or any additional installations.
Finally, in case I decide in the future to go with an FTTP product like BT's "up to 300 mbps" service, does anyone have any experience at all with getting the appropriate cabling fitted to apartments? My main concern is that the apartment is on the top (third) floor of the block.
Thanks!
Odai.yes it is the normal cooper pair from the cabinet to your home with FTTC
the only change to your internal wiring would be the master phone socket would be changed for a new filtered fibre one then the Openreach modem is connected to that and your home hub is then connected to the modem a full fibre ho home service is somewhat different and you would need to consult BT over that one

Living In A Block Of Flats Slowing My Speed?
Hi all,
I recently lived in a Infinity property with no problems at all. I have just moved in to a new flat in a block of flats and the speed is at best 2mbps. While this is slow, it feels even slower than that sometimes.
I was wondering, would the fact I am in a block of flats effect my speed? Would we all be running off of one line in/out of the building? If so, is it possible to have a dedicated line fitted?
Hopefully not silly questions, thanks.every customer has their own individual line living in a block of flats will not affect your speed
have you tried connecting to the test socket to eliminate any internal extension wiring

Old wiring in a block of flats, who's responsible?
Can't seem to get any clear guidance on this. Now if it's in my flat, fair do's I guess, but outside my flat?
So far I've been told that it's anywhere from the green box in the street that's my responsibility, or from the junction box in the box of flats to my flat by BT staff. What does a junction box look like. As far as I can make out in our flats, the wire runs along one wall in the corridor, going through lots of small boxes on the way and the individual flats connect off of the boxes, but when the wire comes up my side of the corridor there are no small boxes visible/
The phone line is dead, internet is fine, have checked the phone itself elsewhere, it's fine, have plugged it into the old style box on the wall, same problem, no dial tone.
Really any feedback on this appreciated, I'm on a very low income so £140 would be tough, and from conversations I've had with BT it could be a lot more than £140 if there are bigger problems, and seeing the state of everything outside my flat that wouldn't surprize me if that was the source of the problems.
I've thought about getting a new line, with new wiring, master socket etc for £130 which I assume is a fixed price, but I'm assuming that would just link into the building line in in my corridor of my floor, not be fresh wiring from outside.hamzen wrote:
Yeah, the bottom one.
If that's the case why did I get told by two people that was either from the junction box in the building where my line splits off to me, or that the junction box was the green box outside the flats, now I'm really confused. From what I've been able to read up that was definitely the case for the new sockets re BT being responsible up to that connecting box, but for the old ones there was no clear demarcation line for responsibility when it came to a block of flats?
Well I am not sure about older installations. I would have thought that when Openreach took over the external network, it would have included any of the existing wiring. There is nobody else who can work on this section any more.
I would be inclined to report the fault and let the Openreach field technician visit, they are usually very good at sorting this type of problem out, it is probably a wire come disconnected.
When you report it via this page Fault report
It will do an automatic line test which should give an approximate location of the fault.
As the master socket is in your flat, then you should not be charged.

What organizer app has a really good WEEK VIEW like my Palm Pilot - it's a grid with days across the top. Below each day- the day
is divided into hourly grids. When events are schdeuled across week - you get a mosaic of time blocks. Analogue view is great way
to comprehend the time obligations as a molar pattern.
thx,
FritzI use Week Cal on the iPod. I think it was only $1.99. It is a lot better and does a lot more than the one that came with the Palm Pilot.
As you know, unlike the Palm Pilot, the iPod does not come with a desktop application that you can sync your iPod calendar to. Since I don't use Outlook, I have to use a Cloud based calendar to sync with my PC. I use Hotmail's calendar for that. (If your computer is a MAC, you can use iCal) -

Even when set for Sales Document typpe credit check as 'D' and credit group as ;03; ie at Goods Issue still order is not getting confirmed.I am not sure, why you want schedule line to be confirmed for credit blocked sales orders. Re-confirm with the client.
There are controls when defining delivery blocks.
Goto IMG - Log.Execution-Shipping - Deliveries- Define delivery blocks( check menu path in system, may not be same as shown here).
Select 01- credit block " untick" from "Confirmation" Column.
Now test with & see how ti works.

In this topic I'm not interested in security or data remanence (for such things we can turn to e.g. Wilders Security Forums).
I'm interested solely in best practice approaches to dealing with bad blocks on hard disks.
I read potentially conflicting information. Examples:
… 7-way write (not just zero all, it does NOT do a reliable safe job mapping out bad blocks) …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/8191915#8191915 (2008-09-29)
… In theory zero all might find weak or bad blocks but there are better tools …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/11199777#11199777 (2010-03-09)
… substitution will happen on the first re-write with Zeroes. More passes just takes longer.
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/12414270#12414270 (2010-10-12)
For bad block purposes alone I can't imagine seven overwrites being any more effective than a single pass of zeros.
Please, can anyone elaborate?
Anecdotally, I did find that a Disk Utility single pass of zeros seemed to make good (good enough for a particular purpose) a disk that was previously unreliable (a disk drive that had been dropped).@MrHoffman
As well pointed your answers are, you are not answering the original question, and regarding consumer device hard drives your answers are missleading.
Consumer device hard drives ONLY remap a bad sector on write. That means regardless how many spare capacity the drive has, it will NEVER remap the sector. That means you ALWAYS have a bad file containing a bad sector.
In other words YOU would throw away an otherwise fully functional drive. That might be reasonable in a big enterprise where it is cheaper to replace the drive and let the RAID system take care of it.
However on an iMac or MacBook (Pro) an ordinary user can not replace the drive himself, so on top of the drive costs he has to pay the repair bill (for a drive that likely STILL is in perfect shape, except for the one 'not yet' remaped bad block)
You simply miss the point that the drive can have still one million good reserve blocks, but will never remap the affected block in a particular email or particular song or particular calendar. So as soon as the file affected is READ the machine hangs, all other processes more or less hang at the same moment they try to perform I/O because the process trying to read the bad block is blocking in the kernal. This happens regardless how many free reserve blocks you have, as the bad block never gets reallocated, unless it is written to it. And your email program wont rewrite an email that is 4 years old for you ... because it is not programmed to realize a certain file needs to be rewritten to get rid of a bad block.
@Graham Perrin
You are similar stubborn in not realizing that your original question is awnsered.
A bad block gets remapped on write.
So obviously it happens at the first write.
How do you come to the strange idea that writing several times makes a difference? How do you come to the strange idea that the bytes you write make a difference? Suppose block 1234 is bad. And the blocks 100,000,000 to 100,000,999 are reserve blocks. When you write '********' to block 1234 the hard drive (firmware) will remap it to e.g. 100,000,101. All subsequent writes will go to the same NEW block. So why do you ask if doing it several times will 'improve' this? After all the awnsers here you should have realized: your question makes no sense as soon as you have understood how remapping works (is supposed to work). And no: it does not matter if you write a sequence od zeros, of '0's or of '1's or of 1s or of your social security number or just 'help me I'm hold prisoner in a software forum'.
I would try to find a software that finds which file is affected, then try to read the bad block until you in fact have read it (that works surprisngly often but may take any time from a few mins to hours) ... in other words you need a software that tries to read the file and copies it completely, so even the bad block is read (hopefully) successful. Then write the whole data to a new file and delete the old one (deleting will free the bad block and ar some later time something will be written there and cause a remap).
Writing zeros into the bad block basically only helps if you don't care that the affected file is corrupted afterwards. E.g. in case of a movie the player might crash after trying to display the affected area. E.g. if you know the affected file is a text file, it would make more sense to write a bunch of '-' signs, as they are readable while zero bytes are not (a text file is not supposed to contain zero bytes)
Hope that helped ;) -
Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint. -
Regarding Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block For Payment in MIRO
Hi all,
In customizing, I have defined Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block for Payment. I have defined all tolerance keys for my company code ...... with Absolute as well as Percentage Limits. But whenever I am doing MIRO & testing for my Block Codes effectiveness, i am finding that everytime my Invoice gets Blocked by Tolerance Key PP(Price Variance) or by date......but not by any other like BD, BW, KW etc. Can anyone help me as how I should check for this. I even tried to study the documentation part available in customizing, but was unable to understand the term like Order Price Quantity units.......Can anyone help me in understanding this thing ........
Regards.....Hi Ganesh,
below is the user exit where you can check the tolarance and put the Block according to the your requirment.
User Exit name - MM08R002 -User exit for tolerance checks
in the above user exit you have to use the below Function exit.
1) EXIT_SAPLMRMC_001
2) EXIT_SAPLMRMP_001
we implemented the above user exit to put the payment block based on the checks.
You can find the documentation of the above exit in the system.
Thanks

Get Open Items for GL Reconciliation account for Customers
Hi All
We have a difference on our AR to GL reconciliation, we are unable to view all postings to the GL account using Tcodes FBL3N or FS10N ? - the function is not available on that GL account.
how do we compare the open items on customer accounts to the postings in the GL reconciliation account if we can not get a line item report ?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
DylanHi,
Generally for recon accounts, the indicator Lina item display will set to off. So you will not get line items for your recon account in FBL3N report. But still you can get the GL balances in FS10N for that recon accounts.
If you want to see the line items also for that recon account, then go to master data of that GL and select Line item display option and block the account in company code for postings temporarly.
Now run report RFSEPA01 in SE38 for you recon GL account.
Again go to GL master and unblock the blocking indicator.
Now check the line items in FBL3N for that recon account.
Thanks,

Regarding work flow for credit block release in sales order
Dear Experts,
Kindly help me with work flow-
my scenario is if customers credit limit of 5000$ exceeds in sales order it should be blocked and notification should go to authorize person through simple mail to release this block.
for this i have done settings in out control i have used output type krml and determined partner as employee responsible to release block in customer master but mail is not triggered to authorized person for credit block and how i can create work flow for this so that authorized person should get notify for credit block as well he releases block also.
Regards
SupriyaDear supriyaparimal,
Please find the below points to fix your issue.
1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".
5. If the information has to be sent to relevant person you recipient name in the recipient column.
Save the documnet.
If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
Please let me know if you have any clarifications
Thanks&Regards
