Good Connection Low IP again, Very depressing

Hi Guys,
Very quick summary, we're at the fringes of acceptable adsl  so getting 2mb connects is pretty good to be honest, and without some breakthrough we're stuck with that.
The problem is windy / rain causes dropped connections and short periods of noise which generally clear quickly, but leave us with an awful IP profile that lingers for days on end.
Please understand I know why the system does this, i know what its intending to achieve and i know the party line is always 'leave it a few days it will rise if your lines stable
 But is there really nothing else that BT can do for those of us who have old lines long distances and are the exception to the IP profiling aim,  moments of no service i have to accept but days of enforced poor service ? is this really fair.
Very down hearted about this again, here my bt speedtest info thingy , But  i have a Game patching and thats achieving about .4 Mb a min, i'm pretty much on dialup again.
Thanks
Gary

Hiya imjolly,
nope theres been nothing here since adslmax
the exchange is
http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/NSCLN
and our place is pretty much end of the line or so the engineers tell me, mostly i get the 'wow really' when they see the 2. odd Mb connection. so thats Nice its the fact its an old flakey line a mix of overhead and underground, it went down again earlier today , i heard the rain start to hit the windows and seconds later the dsl dropped then resynched. now its rock steady again its just this cursed IP profiling that kills us , i mean we still get disconnected every now and then so i cant see it actuall helps us much at all.

  • Good connection but low speed with time capsule

    Currently I am having a very good wireless connection, but the speed of the internet is only high when the time capsule is placed close to my i-Mac.
    How to increse the speed of my connection?
    Having the time capsule close by, let's say around 5 meters, the connection speed is 45 Mbts but placing the time capsule in another room, let's say 10 meters the connection is good but the speed is very low, 5 Mbts.
    Is there any antenna which I could use?

    I understand the issue with noise on the g & b, but why would my hard wire Ethernet feed be effected by the radio mode?
    Everything is on the same "connection" to the Internet. So, if you have a wireless problem, it can and most certainly will affect an ethernet connection to the Internet since everything passes through the WAN port on the Time Capsule.

    My internet is very slow but yet i have a good connection please help

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
    What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • 10.3 OS Upgrade error. An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later

    HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • When I try to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I try to verify the email I want people to call me with, and it says verified, but soon an message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."

    So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
    *Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

  • Facetime error "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again

    When I try to log in to Facetime on my iMac, it gives me the an error. "Could not sign in. please check your network connectivity and try again" I have already tried fixing the time and I dont have any firewall installed

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
    Step 3
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 4
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 5
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 7
    Select from the menu bar
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
              Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 8
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
    Step 9
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 10
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 11
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 12
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 13
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    Step 14
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 15
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.

  • Please check your internet connection or try again...

    To whom it may concern:
    I tried to redeem a Nokia music voucher, and it said that the pin is invalid.
    I emailed Nokia support and they suggested I uninstall the OVI player, delete a few files and install it again.
    After I have done it, when I click on the Music store tab in the player, it gives me the following error message:
    We are sorry but the Music Store is cannot be accessed at this time. Please check your internet connection or try again later.
    So at the moment I hace two problems: Firstly, I cannot access the music store. Secondly I do not know if I would be able to redeem my voucher.
    If anyone can advise me on that.
    Thank you very much.

    The only other thing that I can think of to try is to restart everything. Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
    Here is an article about troubleshooting iPad updating issues. It could be some other security settings that you have that are blocking the update from proceeding. There are a number of things that are discussed in this support article. Check it out and see if there is anything in it that you can try.

  • Nothing seems to solve my MacBook Pro problem 'Could not sign in.Please Check your network connection and try again'

    On old MacBook Pro Version 10.6.8 downloaded Facetime from the Mac Store as instructed but error loging in says 'Could not sign in.Please Check your network connection and try again'.
    I have follwed all these discussion fixes with DNS settings 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and refreshing everything but nothing works.
    Help!
    I have also logged out of my other laptop and closed my phones Facetime.

    Hi KateD14!
    I have an article here that addresses this sign in issue with FaceTime and may have some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve this issue:
    FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3970
    Resolution
    Try the following:
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
    Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website. Other things you should confirm while logged into appleid.apple.com:
    Confirm that the email addresse(s) for your Apple ID has been verified.
    Check for miss-types of the email address
    Check the spelling of the email address
    Check that all letters are lower case
    Make sure that special characters are correct, e.g. no commas (,) where there is supposed to be full stops (.), etc.
    Note You may experience issues if your email address is associated with more than one Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs, log in to appleid.apple.com with each Apple ID and confirm that each email address you wish to use for FaceTime or Messages is associated with only a single Apple ID.
    Make sure the date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Data & Time preferences, in System Preferences. Tip: Enable "Set date and time automatically" in Date & Time preferences to automatically keep this information accurate.
    If third-party firewall or port filtering software is installed, it needs to be configured to allow connections to apple.com, verisign.com and verisign.net. A list of ports required for using FaceTime and Messages is in Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall. Please consult this article for further help configuring firewalls and Internet security software.
    If your /private/etc/hosts file has been modified, make sure that it is not interfering with communications to apple.com, verisign.com or verisign.net servers. Note: Some third-party software installers may modify the /private/etc/hosts file without alerting you. Instructions about how to check and resolve issues with a /private/etc/hosts file are in the "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows)" section of iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    Braden

  • "Your Apple ID couldn't be verified. Please check your network connection and try again."

    I have successfully used iWork with Pages on my iPad 2 for several months. Just recently, it asks me to sign in with my Apple ID. I do so, and get the error message, "Your Apple ID couldn't be verified. Please check your network connection and try again."
    Obviously I checked my network connection. No problems. I upload documents from Pages on my iMac, no problem. I can log into iCloud.com, and all my recent documents are there. I am just unable to upload directly to iWork from my iPad 2.

    I have this problem as well and it's driving me crazy. Since I do not have an airprint printer, I have to upload everything to iwork to be able to then send it to another program to print. So until Apple fixes this, I cannot print from my iPad.
    VERY frustrating. This has been happening off and on for a couple of weeks.

  • HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

    Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

    Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
    When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
    I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

  • TS4185 When trying to activate FaceTime I got code,"Could not sign in.Please check network connections and try again".wi fi connection is wall to wall and I can access everything else.Just can't activate facetime.Any ideas?

    When trying to activate FaceTime, get code " Could not sign in.Please check network connections and try again".Wi fi is strong and can access everything else.Any advice?

    Hello
    Try this... I had the same problem and this worked for me.
    Go to your system preferences → network → make sure WI-FI selected → advanced → DNS tab. Add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers. Go back to FaceTime and try to verify your account again.
    Good luck!

    Any other thoughts, mario49?
    I've no trouble connecting to or using iMessage on my iPhone or my iPad; and no trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, the (iOS) App Store from my iOS devices, the (OS X) App Store from my MBP.  So, my Apple ID is still functioning just fine, thank you very much and my network connection is not an issue.
    My hosts file has not been tampered with, and I'm not blocked by any firewalls--the failures occur where ever I am.
    This issue has been happening only for the last 2 days, but I'm completely locked out of Messages from my MBP.
    So, what's the deal?
