Huge increase in speed over the past 3 months, but...

Under the recommendation of users on this forum, I have made a point of leaving my modem on and connected to my line for over 90 days. This has yielded good results. My download profile has slowly crept up from 48Mbps to 64.85Mbps, and my average download speed is around 8MB/s. I'm extremely happy with that. But one thing I cannot understand is why DLM didn't remove maximum interleaving before adding so much more bandwidth. I treasure low pings over pure bandwidth (as I am an avid gamer), so I was hoping that at some point DLM would be logical and assume that if it's worth increasing my IP profile, it's also worth lowering interleaving.
I still currently get a minimum of 31ms to bbc.co.uk and other London based servers, and I live in Greater London, only a stones throw in geographical terms. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could get interleaving dropped on my line? Or is it just another one of those "keep the modem on for another three months and wait for DLM to sort itself out" jobs?

So the mods can put you on FastPath?
Well I contacted them about a speed issue and mentioned the pings and he said maybe they could put me on FastPath if the line is stable in the future.
Are you now on fastpath?
No, I've not requested to be as I'm still having problems with my line which another Mod is assisting me in.
Just looked at the email from the mod, I talk about a rise in the ping he mentions that interleaving was applied so I'm assuming it was on FastPath before? but he talks about removing it this meaning it turns to FastPath or am I missing something?

    Movie 11 will not play any of the projects I have created over the past several months.  It will play iMovie events.  Anyone else having this problem?  Please help - Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion...
    I just got back from the Apple Store for the second visit with the Mac Genius to try to resolve the problem. 
    First visit we trashed the iMovie 11 application and reinstalled iMovie and ran a software update. Upon relaunching we were pleased that all projects and events ran perfectly from both the HD and the Drobo. 
    After lugging my 27" iMac back home and restarting it the same problem appeared.  I returned to the Apple store for a second visit. This time I left the iMac at the store overnight.  The apple service guys were able to duplicate the problem and wiped my hard drive.  There appears to be a bug with iMovie 11 (not confirmed) and an elevated report was submitted to Apple engineers. 
    I am leaving my "old" projects and events on the external drive unless I need to import them.  I am not going to restore from back up and will use a "clean" version of iMovie11.  No guarantees the problem won't come back.  This issue consumed a TON of my time.... hopefully Apple can fix iMove11.

    I had the galaxy 3 with no wifi issues. I recently obtained the droid maxx. it says that I am connected but over the past two months I've gone over data!  I have two lines , we checked the numbers in "my verizon" and it pretty much validated our suspicions! it's this phone. Is there something I should check? It says connected to wifi, wifi is fine.....confused.

    Kimberly1966 we'll solve this mystery and put an end to the overage! Do you disable data when connected to Wi Fi? If not, I would recommend doing so to prevent accidental usage by http://vz.to/V4epNo

    I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS).  Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one.  But I want it to sync with my stuff.  What can I do?  I haven't been able to find help anywhere online...  Thanks!

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • TS1702 All my entries in 'notes' have disappeared.  I had several different 'notes' entered over the last few months but when I opened the app recently, all of them had gone.  Any way of getting them back?

    All my entries in 'notes' have disappeared.  I had several different 'notes' entered over the last few months but when I opened the app recently, all of them had gone.  Any way of getting them back?  This has happened once before but they just popped back in a few days later.  No such luck this time.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I suspect this is your problem
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I delete a file? At the moment I delete each pic and it takes ages! I tried select all and managed to delete all my 2300 photos!!  I've got them back but I've also got back 980 which I had already deleted 1 by 1 over the past 6 months!  Help!

    Please help! How can I delete a file without deleting all my photos?  I have just managed to delete all my more than 2000 photographs by choosing' Select all' and then delete. But I thought only 'all' the photographs in the file I had open would be selected! I have got them back, but I've also got back more than 800 others that I'd deleted SINGLY over the last 6 months! HELP!

    Put a Photo in the iPhoto Trash.
    iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash
    This removes the photo from iPhoto and the Hard Disk (in every version of iPhoto except iPhoto11)
    In iPhoto 11 the file goes to the System Trash, you need to empty that too.

  • Macpro 17inch just shut down while using.  Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail.  Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore.  Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

    Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again.  This has happen multiple times over the last six months.  Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself.  When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
    problem.  Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology.  Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable.  Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

    I think you may have already been told what the problem is.  However look at this and maybe it will help:

  • My 80 GB classic won't read the files I have synced up to it over the past 4 years, but it still shows that the files are still in there somewhere. How can I recover those files?

    I manually manage my music on my iTunes library. Once I have it downloaded on my laptop, then click and drag it to my iPod, I delete the files from my computer to save memory space. So I basically don't have ANY back-ups to over half of the music that was on my iPod. The other week I did what I usually do to add music to my iPod, but once I disconnected it fro  my computer, my iPod said there was no music, movies, or anything on there. If you highlight over the Settings it reads that there are still 60 GB of space free out of 80 GB. How can I recover those files that are clearly still on my disk without erasing everything I installed into it?  

    In my Computer, click the  iPod icon ->Properties->Tools->Error Checking
    Click Check Now.
    If it doesn't help, you have to use 3rd Party apps to recover these lost files, as the iPod filesystem got corrupted.

  • Windows update failures over the past several months

    I'm having the same issues regarding windows update failures as many documented in this forum. I have run the repairs recommended, drive scans, etc. with no success. I'm at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice. I have
    zipped up the files recommended and posted them on my skydrive site. That location is https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C1221863E15FBC11&id=C1221863E15FBC11%211274.
    Please help. Joe Collins
     

    at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice.
    You may be right.  Try eliminating WU from a symptom description.  E.g. pick one of the updates which is available as a download and try installing it that way.  Just use WU as a guide for what you should download and install manually. 
    I imagine that if that works eventually WU will repair itself and realize that it doesn't need to do anything else for you.
    A search to support the idea of manual download and install acting as a workaround for this symptom:

    Another suggestion which could be implied by your diagnostics would be to uninstall your Norton package (and any of the other interferers which are mentioned that would be suspect).  Norton is notorious for interference with updating and is also known
    to interfere even when it is supposedly disabled and is also known interfere even when it has supposedly been uninstalled, so who knows what the cause of the problem is, corruption or blocking, you could at least change your POQexec.log by taking such
    manual action.
    BTW what have you done exactly about trying to repair WU?  You could save yourself a lot of manual effort if you could get it working properly.  
    Otherwise, on the manual update tack I would try doing first the ones which arrive in pieces.  Search WindowsUpdate.log for  Downloading  for clues that way.
    Good luck

  • My back facing camera on my IPad 2 keeps freezing on facetime. How do i fix this? It hasnt always done this only over the past few months.

    it is really frustrating. The front facing camera works fine while in a facetime conversation but as soon as the camera is turned around it freezes.
    I have seen similar people on other websites complain about this. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the problem or if apple are doing anything to solve the issue.
    thanks

    Hello Led93,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with camera issue. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D

  • HT4970 I've made entries three times over the past several months in Reminders only to have them dissappear after a few days. What am I doing wrong? Any chance they are being saved elsewhere so I can retreive them?

  • Iphone4:  after editing a note the note disappears.  I have lost several over the past months.

    after editing a note, the note disappears.  I have lost several over the past few months.

    Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
    I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

  • HT4623 Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month now but is not allowing me.

    Have been trying to update my iPhone 4 for the past few month but is not allowing me. The update icon is not showing on the screen. Help is need pls.

    To update it all you need to do is connect the phone to iTunes and you can then update it.
    If you are using anything less than iOS 5, then you can't update directly on your phone as this is not available and iOS 5 is the first OS where this option was available.

  • My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on.

    My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there an easy fix. I have been advised by Apple that the latest IOS update may overcome this situation but I'm only on slow download speeds and 690 Mb would take forever. I would appreciate any advice.
    Best regards,
    Rob.
