Having problems with my Broadband and BT will not ...

Hi
For the last TWO years I have had problems with my broadband.
The problem is that my hub keeps re-synic it self. Yes I know that this supposed to happen but surly not up to 10 times a day, (some times 6 times in one hour) Every Day.
I have no extension  sockets just a Phone & broadband hub connected to the master socket
I know the problem is neither with my BT Hub or my phone as I have replaced with another of each and the problem still persists.
I have checked my wiring, BT have checked the exchange all appears to be OK. BT sent a engineer to check my master socket and because they could not find a fault I got charged £80 and I still got the problem.
I explained to the engineer that I think the problem is the Length of cable between the point were the line comes in and my master socket (it over 9 meters long) which goes all round my flat (maybe picking up electrical interference) , but they have refused to move my master socket to make it shorter.
What else can I do ? It BT responsibility for the wiring between the point the line accesses my property and the master socket but they wont do any think to correct matters. All I am told they could send a engineer but it will cost if they can't find the fault.
As I said this problem is been going on for over two years , I can not use my laptop, Internet radio without losing connection after a hour or so. I am getting very frustrated and thinking of cancelling my BT contract, and going to some where else.

Hi thanks for reply
The problem is not with my computer. Its only about 2 feet away from the hub
It my Broadband hub that problem is with. The Blue broadband light on the Hub goes out, after a couple of seconds comes back on flashing orange, then after about 30 seconds it stops flashing and remains a steady orange, then returns to blue again. 
I know the hub is supposed to this occasionally to re-synic for difference in line speed etc, but surly not every day and some times about ten times in a day. I have sat here and watch it do it even up to six times in a hour. It not a faulty hub as I have replaced that and still the problem persists
I can hear intermittent broadband type noise on my phone but again I have replaced the filter many times (and the telephone) but the fault is still there.
I think it must be electrical pick up.
I have no extension socket (just the hub and phone connected to the Master socket)
I have asked BT to come and shorten the cable between were the line Enters my Flat and Master socket, (The cable is over 9 Meters long and goes all round my flat before getting to the MASTER socket.
But  even though cable before the master socket is BT's responsibility they refuse without me paying a call out charge of about £80 to come out to shorn it.
So for the last Two years I have the problem but I am getting very frustrated now, so am thinking that when my contract runs out in a couple of months I will go to another suppler that will move my master socket for Free. Why Should I pay £20 pounds a month for rubbish service>

  • I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting.  Anyone having problems?

    I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket.  When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash.  Anyone having problems? Help.

    Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
    This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

    Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Hi
    I've got a similar problem.  iTunes v10.2 worked fine, but when I tried to update it to 10.5 I got a 'Bonjour' error.  I eventually solved that but I still couldn't upgrade to 10.5, so I deleted every single Apple, Quicktime, iTunes, etc file on my PC using Revo Unistaller (because the normal Windows Add/Delete programs wouldn't work) but now, when I install the latest iTunes version from scratch (on XP SP3), it says: "the installer encountered errors before it could be configured.... your system has not been modified" 
    Any ideas?

  • Having problems with front row (and the opticle drive)

    I bought my macbook three days ago, and I'm already having problems. First off, I transfered music from my user profile on my old iMac G5 to the macbook via data DVD. My music collection had some purchaces from the itunes store, so I had to go through the authorization thing, and I can now play them just fine in the iTunes library, but the problem is, if I try to use the front row program to play my purchaced music, I get the message saying that I have to authorize it first. What the ****? Does anybody else have this problem? Also, like many other macbook users, I'm having problems with the opticle drive, such as getting cds to be recognized and other things of that nature.

    I noticed that this problem started after I tried to use a software to unlock my drive's region...
    I believe this is the problem. The VLC Media Player will usually play DVDs from other regions without changing the settings on your optical drive. You may need to reset your optical drive's firmware back to the original setting, make sure you have the region set for the one you'd prefer to use the most and then use VLC to play the other DVDs.
    -Doug
    P.S. After two years in the Front Row forum, I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone playing HDDVD_TS folders with Front Row. I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm not sure it's really supported either. I do have DVD Studio Pro myself, but I'll have friends or family staying with me for nearly the next month, so my evenings and weekends will be a bit full to try making one up for testing...

  • Anyone NOT having problems with ITunes 8 and latest firmware update???

    I have really been put off updating to ITunes 8. The firmware update appears to be doing well. Is there anyone that uses a MacBook like myself who have had absolutely NO problems with new Itunes and firmware update? Answers on the back of a £50 note....

    Not having issues now that I have updated all i(hardware) firmware to version 2.1, two phones and an iPod Touch, all work fine (So Far) (knocking on wood). As far as iTunes goes I have mixed feelings. It's a bit faster and more stable, however they removed the "Burn CD" ability from the software. That blows a bit as I would make CD's from some of my play lists to play in the car. Yes I can dock my devices in the car, but as a matter of convenience it's easier to fire up the CD when your in a rush.

  • Problems with Sky Broadband and Talk services in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | 05 August 2015

    If you live in Alfreton, Clay Cross North Carlton, Tickhill, Whitwell or Worksop we know you're having problems getting online and with making calls this evening.
    The problem has been caused by a break in fibre cables near to Chesterfield town centre.
    We're working with the local authorities to gain access to the site of the fault.
    The latest news we have is that repair work is likely to start late this evening once access has been granted and it could carry on overnight tonight. We'll provide our next this update if we receive any news this evening.
    Calls to emergency services are unaffected.
    We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    I want to cancel my broadband and Talk services only, keeping my Sky TV. First of all, is this possible?
    Second of all, how do I go about this? I don't have a phone and I'm not calling on my mobile with those extortionate charges to be on hold for hours and for Sky to try and "resell" their services etc.
    You can cancel your broadband and talk services and keep Sky TV but if you do this and don't have another provider lined up then you will be without both.
    Calls to Sky are charged at local rate so if you have free minutes on your mobile with your network operator then calls to Sky are free as they would use these free minutes. Sky will only accept a cancellation by speaking the the account holder.

  • Having problems with OPA 10 and office 2007 templates

    Hi,
    I have a OPA 10 and office 2007 set up which is having some issues with the macros. Seems to me that the visual basic code is not kicking off really well sometimes. I am trying to map the sequence which leads to the errors and I believe that the issue is around opening an old word doc which has a old template version (.dot). This may be the cause for OPA getting lost when working with word 2007.
    For example, I ask to open a rules doc and the visual basic tells me that OPA couldn't open the doc but word is opening the doc anyway. However none of the toolbar commands work as well as I can 't save the doc etc.
    Have you experienced any issue with OPA 10 and Office 2007? Any special word configuration? Should i go back to office 2003?
    BTW, I have both dotm and dot templates loaded as add-ins in word. The dotm toolbar looks good but the dot toolbar is a bit strange in 2007.
    Cheers,
    Paulo

    Hi Paulo,
    Have a look at the following tips from Davin Fifield about troubleshooting the toolbar.
    Sometimes when using Oracle Policy Modeling, Microsoft Word documents that are part of a Policy Modeling project may appear without the OPA toolbar (in Office 2003) or OPA options on the Add-Ins ribbon (in Office 2007) when opened in Microsoft Word.
    This problem can be caused by various factors.
    Here are the top three troubleshooting steps to try to recover from this situation.
    1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
    2. Try changing the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options, from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Selet General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
    3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
    Does this resolve your issue?

  • Why is my Mozilla Version 6.0.1 having problems with Bookmark Export and Import (html) ?

    I have used this feature numerous times with no problems. Starting yesterday, when I export html bookmark file, I get a delay - and then the html file is extraordinarily large (16,400 KB versus 782 KB normal file size).
    Also, when I attempt to import a saved html file, the new file will not save. Again, when I hit the "Export" or "Import"button, there is a prolonged delay.
    Should I delete Mozilla and reinstall ?

    Hi mrpetesix,
    Thanks for the insight. I seem to have solved the problem and can now sync iCal with my phone's calander as I used to without using iCloud. I am running the same setup as you (iTunes 11.0.1, osx 10.6.8, iOS 6.0.1) so, if you want, I'm sure you can do this too (although it seems you now hae found a good solution yourself). Anyway, here it is for the archives:
    When my phone was connected to iTunes, iTunes was showing that my Calander was being updated over the air by iCloud. It was not giving me any other options to choose which calanders to sync etc. So...
    On your iPhone, go to settings>>iCloud and turn calandars OFF.
    Now when you connect it to iTunes you can see all the old options under calandars and syncing between the two devices is back to 'normal'.
    I don't know when this iCloud setting got switched on my phone (I didn't even know it existed before this episode), probably when I updated iOS/iTunes recently.
    Hope that's useful to somebody. Cheers.

  • Still having problems with UAG SP4 and Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    This must be one of many threads on this topic but I'm stuck.
    Because of the incompatibility with 8.1 and UAG2010 we've updated to SP4. Now, out-of-the-box 8.1 no longer wants to install the client components via ActiveX. I can log in, but the client isn't compliant so not all functions are available.
    I actually had to manually get the client components from our UAG server. After installing I compared the System Information window with that of my 8.0 / IE10 installation and the only difference is that I can't see the version of the Device Session Cleanup
    and SSL Application Tunneling gives me a "red X" in 8.0 and says "not detected" in 8.1. I did notice some .NET 3.5 components missing in 8.1 so I installed those too.
    Compatibility mode does not help and switching to IE9 mode using the developer console is a workaround, not a solution.
    What am I not seeing here?
