Hit my record with BT's ridiculous slow speed.

Once again, slow speeds for no reason.
Probably because of their "remote" adjustments to my line - that's how they fixed my speed problems before anyway.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994037830.png
Without doubt, this is the worst speed and ping I ever, EVER had. Worse than dial-up. Thank you, my weekend has been wasted.

I can't take BT seriously anymore, it's a **bleep**ing joke.
A guy threw my mail through my door, I went to pick it up, then went back to my PC and what do I see?
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994705945.png
So, my theory is this. The vibrations the guy made with his attempt to slip the mail caused BT line go ape**bleep**, thus completely ruining my broadband for this entire day. Quality, top notch quality.
Update 1: I used the test socket behind the plate, the result:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994713166.png
Still not perfect though, the ping goes up and down randomly (from 50 to 1400). This is going to be a lot of fun.
Update 2: Just to show you how random it is, here a few more tests:

Did a BT speedtest as well:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 910 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps

Ridiculously slow speeds - bt are a joke

Someone care to explain to me why this has happened 3 times in the last 3 months? This is just stupid. AND NO! I DON'T WANT A NEW HUB, THAT ISN'T THE PROBLEM, STOP SENDING ME HUBS!
If anyone could please tell why BT aren't doing anything about this everytime this happens that would be great.
Here is a direct link to the image so you can see it clearly http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/816/crappybroadband.png

Hi Nathan
Welcome to the forum,
Clearly you are having some problems with your internet connection.
Firstly, it's important to understand that total broadband is line adaptive, and what that means is, in effect your connection is only as good as your phone line, with respect to noise levels and your distance from the exchange.
So whilst your connection is poor at the moment, it may be that something in the home is causing your problems, and not anything to do with the BT network.
Try and read the self help iinformation here:
http://bt.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bt.cfg/php/enduser/cci/bt_adp.php?p_sid=&p_faqid=12666&cat_lvl1=346&p...
Also if you can, try and post your hubs line stats, so we can see what's going on, then we'll be able to help you further.

Ridiculously Slow Speeds

I've used Verizon in various services for years on my own, never had much problems with them. I then moved in and started taking care of my very elderly grandfather, he uses Verizon internet/phone. He has the 3.1-7mbps connection, and for the $50+ he pays I don't consider it a great deal in the least. But, the point is for the last year since March of last year till about march of this year we reguarly got about 3mbps off and on, despite the fact the service is for 3.1-7 MBPS I have never seen above I think 3.5 in any test every done. Well for the last month give or take, that's tanked into the crapper hard, last few days it's been about 1.2mbps if lucky. My grandfather wanted to get FIOS, cause it was fast and decently affordable but verizon refuses to install it cause apperntly something about being in a manufactured home park is against their policy or some crap.
So I decided to post on these great forum, hoping perhaps someone could point me in a direction. I tried using the 'help' files and I use that word lightly to see if they had any recomondations and about laughed myself to death as one of their 'recomondations' is to clean your HDD and have plenty of space which in no way would effect internet speed. So here I am. I have run several different speed tests on several different sites and different places. Averaing a 34ms ping, 1.2mbps down, .75mbps up. Am wondering if I am going to be forced to get a Tech to come out and do real physical work out here.

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up. It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
news.giganews.com
    traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
    1 gw1-g-vlan201.dca.giganews.com (216.196.98.4) 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms
    2 ash-bb1-link.telia.net (213.248.70.241) 39 ms 7 ms 7 ms
    3 TenGigE0-2-0-0.GW1.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.125.125.41) 4 ms 4 ms GigabitEthernet2-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.65.76.189) 4 ms
    4 so-7-1-0-0.PHIL-CORE-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.20.137) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    5 P3-0-0.PHIL-DSL-RTR11.verizon-gni.net (130.81.13.170) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    6 static-71-242-*-*.phlapa.east.verizon.net (71.242.*.*) 32 ms 32 ms 33 ms
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
#3 If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?

Ridiculously slow performance with WRT320N

Hello all. My name is Ben Herrmann. I'm running a Windows 7 64 Bit machine and am using a Motorola cable modem. I have the WRT320N wireless router attached. My PC is connected via ethernet cable to the machine - but the other two laptops are connected via wireless to the router.
Normally, my connection speed when connected to the Motorola modem ranges anywhere from 15,000 to 21,000 kbps. I have North Carolina Road Runner service Turbo Boost and just with that setup my download speeds are awesome.
However, with the WRT320N router attached, my internet and download speeds have screeched to a whoppingly slow 978 to 1100 kbps. I realized that adding a router may slow things down a bit - but not by this shocking level.
What am I doing wrong? I set up everything the way it was supposed to be. I even installed the the LinkSys Easy Advisor software. The Cable company can't help me because on their end, things are coming to me at high speed. So it's obviously the router.
How do I install firmware (if it needs it)? How do I determine what my current firmware is? Lots of questions here - but short of an answer, I'm just ready to "can" this router and go out and look for something better.
Thanks in advance...
Ben Herrmann

Well, I took a chance and contacted LinkSys tech support. But this guy was extraordinary.
Prior to contacting tech support, my download speeds with the router attach ranged between 512 and 950 kbps - a ridiculously slow speed considering I'm on a high speed cable network. But after he was finished messing with my settings (he took control of my PC), he got my download speeds up to 22,000 - 25,000 kbps - the same speed I was getting if I just had my cable modem (and no router).
So I'm very, very appreciative to his support and I never envisioned getting these types of speeds with a router attached.

JDE 9.1 menus are slow during recording with OpenScript

Hi,
JDE 9.1 menus (navigation) are slow during recording with OpenScript (newest version: 12.3.0.1 Build 376). If I turn off recorder everything works normal and fast.
The problem is speed.
Is there any preferences in OpenScript that can handle this issue? Why is this happening?
Thanks, Proven

Seeing similar things - what browser version are you using? From what I have seen there is something happening with the BHO enabled on the browser. We have seen a performance hit on IE 8 & IE 9 while recording and playing back
The browser just seems "busy"
Haven't tried reverting back to 12.2 but have an issue open and provided IE memory dumps to Oracle .... will keep you posted on what they tell me

HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
thanks

hey all
Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
Retime>Fast 2X
Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
Test video complete.
(You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
My mind is melting

Ridiculously Awesome Sound Recording with Video

Although I was aware that the mic's on the 928 were touted to be better at recording loud music than most other phones out there, I never had a chance to put it to the test.
Last week I was at a small bar and recorded my friends band playing. I was really close to the speakers and they were fairly loud. I made sure to turn off the sound filter in the recording setting of the video. Just for comparison, I had my brother record with me on his Razr Maxx. The next morning I played the video back from my phone and plugged in some good earphones.
OMG! No distortion at all!!! Full clean bass!!! Full mids and highs!!! Crisp and Clear! My brothers sound on his recording was a huge distorted mess! Anyone else have similar experiences? TI wanna make sure this wasnt just some freak luck with video recording...

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

Ridiculously Slow Performance when Movie Scoring - brand new macbook

Hello there guys ! Sorry for my bad english, i will try to do my best.
The title almost says it all. I have a brand new Intel Core Duo Macbook (White, 2ghz, 512 ram, I haven't added any extra ram or anything).
The machine is blazing fast, I am really loving the experience. But when it comes to using a feature I would love to use everyday, it disappointed me. The movie score feature in Garage Band 3. So, I create a very simple movie in iMovie HD 6, capturing video from my fireware camera.
It is a very simple video, no soundtracks, just the original sound that came with the camcorder footage. No stills, reverse, slow-motion, effects or anything. Plain video with sound, just the way it came from the camcorder.
The problem is when creating a movie scoring project with that footage in garageband 3 , the performance is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW. I mean, I press space and the movie strats playing after 1,5 seconds, and the video is halting every other second. It is so laggy that when i press space again to stop the video, the motion continues for another 1,5 seconds until it pauses.
There's absolutely no way to do any work in conditions like that. And the strange thing is that when using garage band to do other stuff, or when working in iMovie with that same movie there's no lag at all. I have even edited 30 minute long videos with effects and soundtracks in iMovie and it was blazing fast, no lag, no halting.
But in Garagaband even the simplest of all videos gets this ultra-slow performance, and it makes me wonder why.
- I have tried desabling recording on the audio track in garageband. I have tried to lock the track. I have done all the steps in the optimizing garage band performance in the help. I don't have firevault activated.
Any help ? Does anyone have a macbook just like mine that is able of doing moving scoring ? Because EVERYTHING ELSE is ultra fast, including video and audio editing, but when movie scoring it *****.
Apple Macbook 13inch 2.0ghz Core Duo 512 60GB White SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Ha! It's funny really - you say it all yourself; no extra ram, it doesn't come with enough to run Pro Apps and when you start to use the Scoring feature you are accessing two different functions - playing movies and music tracks - movies are always a stress unless they are very small and the Right Codec - so first up - what format is your movie? Do you have Quicktime Pro? if the answer is No - get it, it's not expensive and it gives your machine many extra abilities - you can then convert your footage to something easy to play.
How many tracks are you working with?
Get more RAM - MacIntel or MacPro needs 4-6 gigs to multi-task happily - with only the base load of RAM it can't.
I have a DP 2 Ghz G5, no where near as fast as yours but I have 4.5 GBs of RAM and a fast graphics card with 512Mbs VRAM - this means Motion and FCP can fly.
We are about to get a MacPro 2.66 Dual with 6 GBs RAM, essential.
Hope this helps.

How & why Record with an external drive?

Hi. Okay, in another topic I posted it was recommended that I record with an external drive and not the internal drive... I have a 7200rpm firewire 400 lacie drive... so how do record with it? Why and how will this improve my Logic Pro recording experience? I also have a FirePod firewire interface.
Thanks,
Bill K.

To record onto an external drive, simply go to the audio menu and choose "Set Audio Record Path..." From here set your recording path to be somewhere on your external drive.
In general, it best to record to a drive other than your system drive. Depending on what you are doing, the system drive can be writing/reading cash files, data files and doing other Logic/OSX related activities in the background, all of which slows down your disk. You of course can still use your system drive to access data, but because its doing other operations, you may not be able to run as many audio tracks at once as you could using a dedicated external drive.
Try both methods and see which works best for you and your system.

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do?

TS3451 Can't record keeps posting "DISK TO SLOW"

Trying to record vocals in garage band, and Can't be as soon as I hit the record button posting appears saying DISK TOO SLOW.
and then ask me to continue and there no recording.

Try this. Find your hard disk. Highlight it and the do a Get Info (command-I). Look at the bottom of the resulting window. Find Ownership and Permissions. Look at the details. Unlock the lock if needed. Set it to System and do it for all enclosed items. See if that helps.
A shot in the dark...but an educated guess (since permission related error message).

File Transfer through ActiveSync is VERY slow in WinCE 7 (on the same device with WinCE 6.0 the speed is normal)

Hello!
I met with very strange activesync behaviour. We ported our bsp (based on smdk6410) from WinCE 6.0 to WinCE 7.0. the problem is that WinCE 7.0 copy files from desktop computer into device through ActiveSync (or WMDC) very slowly. With WinCE 6.0 this was
much faster (with WinCE 7.0 the speed becomes slower many times). I tried the same files. I tried different desktop OS - XP, Windows 7, Windows 8. The result is same. The hardware of the device is the same for both WinCE 6.0 and WinCE 7.0. The bsp in general
is the same too. The file is transfered slowly from desktop into WinCE 7.0 device in both cases - through ActiveSync gui and through Rapi api using our software.
Note, that our bootloder transfer OS image via RNDIS with the same speed as using WinCE 6.0. So looks like the problem in WinCE 7.0 in USB serial or in ActiveSync desktop or device sides...
In addition!!! The very strange thing is that I found only two cases when WinCE 7.0 transfers file through activesync with the same speed as in WinCE 6.0 (with fast speed):
1. When I transfer from desktop OS that is XP installed on Virtual Machine (using VMware). However the speed is normal only with XP on VMware. I tried with Windows 8 on VMware and the speed was slow too.
2. It's very interesting fact. When I press Sync button in desktop ActiveSync dialog the trasfer becomes normal (fast)! during time when activesync is performing synchronization. When synchronization finished the speed looks slow again... So when I press
Sync button all the time when a file is transfered - a file is loaded into desktop fast (the time is the same as using WinCE 6.0...) This behaviour occurs for all desktop OS.
Note that the problem is actual only for trasferring from desktop into device. WinCE 7.0 trasfers files from device into desktop normal.
Can somebody describe that?
Thanks!

Which version of SuSE Linux would possibly help here. I'm using version 7.3 Pro and it is only 10 minutes slower than my installation on XP Pro (the script is 16 pages long and takes 8,000,000 records and converts them into 30,000 records of useful information-takes 20 minutes in XP, 30 minutes in SuSE 7.3 on a personal computer). I used the orarun9i script and followed the directions for re-compiling the genclntsh from the SuSE installations online.

Recording with M-Audio Fast Track USB Audio Interface

New Mac owner and am completely lost. I am wanting to record guitar and vocal tracks into GB and when I plugged in the M-Audio I could see a wave file when after I hit the record button but I couldn't hear anything. I selected it as the default for input and output and turned the monitor on...but am getting zero sound. HELP!

I actually just picked one up and this is what the process is...
I must reiterate the first line... Do not install any of the packaged software as it does not help, or do anything beneficial... just use Garageband.
This is to record a plug in guitar.
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LOAD ANY DISCS THAT COME WITH THE DEVICE
1. Connect M-Audio Fast Track USB to appropriate USB port on computer.
ex. MacBook Pro - use forward port (port furthest away from display)
Also, see note 2 for M-Audio knowledge base, support etc...
2. Open System Preferences and:
-Select M-Audio Fast Track USB icon
-Select "About" button and note Audio Firmware version
-Select "Updates" to open M-Audio web site
-Select: USB Audio Series<Fast Track USB< MAC OS 10.5.7 (or appropriate operating system)
-Note version number of latest drive and download if
necessary to update your M-Audio
- Select "Sound" in Hardware row of System Preferences
-Select "Input" button and select M-Audio Fast Track USB
- No need to change "Output" regardless of how you want to listen to playback!
3. Connect guitar to M-Audio box (a pre-amp will boost output, but is not necessary)
- Make sure button on rear of M-Audio box is selected properly for guitar
4. Open Garage Band (Do Not open Garage Band prior to connecting M-Audio)
- Select New Project - Electric Guitar
5. Open Garage Band Preferences
- Select "Audio/MIDI" button
-Audio Output select:
- "Built-in Output" to use computer's speaker or headphones/speakers connected directly to computer OR
- "M-Audio Fast Track USB" to listen to headphones/speakers
connected directly to M-Audio box (use Mix knob and Output knob on front of M-Audio box to control ouput if choosing this set-up)
-Audio Input select:
-"M-Audio Fast track USB"
6. Choose an Amp model in Garage Band
- Double-click picture of amp (this displays rear picture of amp and access to settings)
-Select: Input Source : Mono2(M-Audio Fast Track USB) NOT MONO 1!
of if using Mic and guitar : Stereo2 (M-Audio Fast Track USB)
7. Record
This saved me from throwing the thing out the window... It works well now!

Hit my record with BT's ridiculous slow speed.
