HUGE speed increase by moving router + disconnecti...

Rather interesting increase in speed having moved my router to the main socket (over a 3meg increase!)
Main socket has always been in a hallway and it was an inconvenience to run network cable to the PC - So as per diagram 1 I had the hub connected to one of the extention sockets that supply the points around the house.
Decided to have a cable tidy up, and purchase some Home Plugs so I could use the mains power as a network - and solve the problem of having to run a network cable from the hall to my PC. Diagram 2 shows the increase in speed.
Having been surprised at that, and bearing in mind that I had the phone connected to the same socket as the hub, For some reason I decided to disconnect all the other sockets in the flat ( By disconnecting them from in the main socket - Diagram 3 shows the result!)
Ip profile has gone from 13000 to 15000 - and im only a little bit away from getting a 16000 profile!
I can only assume that the extention that went around the flat in each room was acting like a huge aerial for interference?!
And - before you say it was just because I was using the main socket, when I connected all the extention sockets up again, the sync dropped back to about 16,000 kb.
So far the 17,888 sync i have was done in the evening 4 days ago, perhaps I should try a sync at 2pm and see how much further it raises!

Maybe?
1. Offset dipole effect
2. Long Aerial effect
Maybe also a combination of 1 or 2 plus the wrong type of Telephone cable was used for the extensions.?

Portege M400 freezes, screen goes black and fan speed increase when moved

Can someone please help me?
I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted to Windows XP Tablet edition.
All was going well until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically!,
So far I have had no success in fixing this problem and I much appreciated is some one could help me!

Hi there,
I have the same laptop. Bought it from a friend also! That was a year ago. It was working perfectly till 6 months ago when I had it going 100% like yours. Screen freezes, fan speeds up and hangs up once it is moved. Recently, even if it doesnt move it hangs up also. I have tried many things like reinstalling drivers and Windows.....etc.
I dont think it is Windows problem or drivers problem, because if you run BIOS and try to move the laptop, it also hangs up!!
Tried updating the BIOS, also no benefit. I ended up opening the laptop and having a look to the motherboard (thinking that I could see something that I could fix!! But again, did not get any results.
I tried also disconnecting peripherals one by one to see whether I could spot the problem, I disconnected the battery, the hard disk, the optical drive, the wirelss modem (from inside), memory, and even the bluetooth, but could not spot the culprit.
I believe now that the problem is basically the motherboard (sort of wear and tear insulation problem) and it is beyond my humble expertise.
I am sure if I would contact TOSHIBA, they would not be of much benefit as I am a second hand user. And if I try to buy from them a main board, they will charge me hell of money.
I hope that this is helpful for you to avoid you wasting your time like me.
Please if you would come into any progress, let me know. Likewise, I would be happy to update you.

WOW! Huge Speed increase in iPhoto 6!

WOW is all I can say. It is really fast both launching and using/scrolling.
WARNING! Backup your iPhoto Library before upgrading! iPhoto 6 totally rearranged my iPhoto Library directory in my User folder and now iDVD 6 cannot find images that it used in a project I created in iDVD 5.
Sortof a bummer... BUT at least it's FAST!

Safari 5.0.2 great speed increase

Does anyone else see a huge speed increase? The slow load times seem corrected. This is the best version in a very very long time.

Agreed, although I would not call the speed increase 'huge' - all versions of Safari 4 and 5 have loaded pages in less than a second for me.

Power off modem - speed increases??

Quick query - had BT infinity installed earlier this year. Estimated speed of 61, received around 64 (not complaining, and was very happy with it!). A few months back had to move the modem and router, so switched off moved everything and switched on - found speed increase and ip profile changed to 65.50. Two months ago had a bit of an electric outage in the house - when modem/router switched back on again profile increased to just over 66. Finally had British Gas visit for some work in the kitchen, they had to switch off the electric, and again profile/speeds increased to just over 67. How are these increases coming about when the modem's lost power (not even 'safe' power down)? Thought each shutdown of the modem would lead to DLM activation and profile LOWERING?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Folks, sorry to resurrect this "solved" threat, but can anyone confirm which is the best application to use to check for interleaving? The other day a young nephew was playing about in my office and managed to pull out the phone and vdsl lead out of the master socket. Following an obvious panic stricken period of plugging everything back in and checking settings I was staggered to find my ip profile has risen to a whopping 73.71!!! I can't believe it's gone up so much from the initial installation rate. Which raises a question in my mind - was a 'shallow' level of interleaving applied initially which may have been taken off now? I've got the standard OR modern and hh4 router in my setup and I know I can't get at the stats unless I hack it (which obviously I don't want to do), so is there any other way I can get at the modem stats?

Airport Extreme Upgrade Speed Increase???

1) We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
2) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
Sorry these are such basic questions that likely reflect my poor understanding of this technology. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Last question first.
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
The Internet connection speed on your network will not improve. That speed is limited by your modem and the plan that you have with your provider.
Right now, the current AirPort Extreme that you have is capable of far greater speeds than your service provider can ever hope to deliver, so a new AirPort Extreme will not provide any improvement in terms of Internet performance.
) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
The wireless speed capability will double to triple over what you have now, but these higher speeds will only be realized when you have both an 802.11ac router and 802.11ac capable devices.
There are no 802.11ac capable iPhones or iPads, so you will pick up faster speeds on a new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac, etc.
The faster speeds will only help you if you are copying data from one computer to another or making backups of one device to another.
As mentioned previously, your Internet connection speeds will remain the same that they are now.
We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
Please look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme to locate the model number. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143......A1301.....A1354.....A1408.
Post back with the model number, and we will tell you a bit more about the product.

let me know what would be the reason that 1st million takes only 15 minuts and the time goes on increasing gradually with the increase of dataYes that's a little strange. I only can guess:
1. You are in archivelog mode and the Archiver is not able to archive the redo logs fast enough
2. You don't use Direct Load and DBWR ist not able to write the direty block to disk fast enough. You could create more DBWR processes in that case.
3. Make a snapshot of v$system_event:
create table begin as select * from v$system_event;After the import run
create table end as select * from v$system_event;Now compare the values:
select * from begin order by TIME_WAITED_MICRO descwith the values given you by
select * from end order by TIME_WAITED_MICRO descSo you can look where your DB spent so much time waiting for something.
Alternativly, you could start a 10046 trace on the loading session and use tkprof.

Kernel patch for more CPU families offers measurable speed increases

I wanted to show folks a pretty nice patch that allows one more options when compiling a kernel for CPU families. Complete list included at the bottom of this post. I tested it using three different x86_64 machines running a generic x86-64 kernel and an otherwise identical kernel running with the optimized gcc options.
Conclusion: There are small but real speed increases using a make endpoint to building with this patch.
Details:
1) Three test machines: Intel Xeon X3360, Intel i7-2620M, Intel Core i7-3660K.
2) All ran the make benchmark (linked below) 35 times while booted into a 'generic' kernel. Then all ran the same make benchmark 35 times after booting into an optimized kernel. Below are the optimizations chosen for each machine.
2a) X3360 = core2
2b) i7-2620M = corei7-avx
2c) i7-3660K = core-avx-i
3) Analyzed resulting distributions for statistical significance via ANOVA plots that clearly show statistically significant albeit small differences.
Discussion
1) All the assumptions for ANOVA are met:
*Data are normally distributed as show in the normal quantile plots.
*The population variances are fairly equal (Levene and Barlett tests).
2) The ANOVA plots clearly show significance.
*Pair-wise analysis by Tukey-Kramer shows significance at the 0.05 level for all CPUs compared.
Below are the differences in median values:
core2 +87.5 ms
corei7-avx +79.7 ms
core-avx-i +257.2 ms

I agree, your CPU, in practice, is really either idle or loaded.
In my case (AMD 965, 4 freq steps) the processor is at lowest freq for about 90 - 95% of a time, and at highest for 5 - 10%. The 2 intermediate are used for about 0.1% of a time.
My guess would be that intermediate ones are only used for smooth transition from lowest to highest. So they really are hardware dependent...

Will I see speed increase with thunderbolt/Ether adapter?

I have a 2012 Mac Pro connected to my network with Ethernet cable: MP > router > cable modem. Cable and modem are 10/100/1000.
Apple makes a Thunderbolt / Gigabit Ethernet adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter).
Anyone know if I might see any noticeable speed increase to the Internet switching from my Ethernet port out, to Thunderbolt port out using this adapter?
My broadband is 30 Mbps down, 5 Mbps Up, btw.
Thx!

Most devices that are serving as the Ethernet Switches are only 100BaseT capable. That is why I said "choose" to go up to that speed. (Some folks, like me, have to go out and buy Gigabit-capable switches.) Apple Routers (they don't make Just a Switch, but you can configure a Base Station as a Switch) are Gigabit-capable.
My modem, router Ethernet ports are both Gigabit capable and I'm using the best wire I could get Cat 6.
The longest cable is 50 feet.
If all 8 conductors are crimped into the connectors with all 8 wires in use, you are all set. Cables that use only two pairs of wires instead of four pairs will not work.
Check by using Network Utility.app to see if you are already using Gigabit Ethernet speeds. If you ARE, then you should also configure Jumbo frames. If not, you can manually configure it to Gigabit speeds, Full duplex with flow Control, but if it cannot, for same reason, connect at that speed it will not fall back, it will fail to connect.

Why the sudden download speed increase?

BT Infinity was installed on the 1st February and although my upload speed doubled to 1.62Mbps my download speed was the same as my standard BT Broadband was at 5Mbps or just below. I was on the point of ringing a BT 'Techie' as late yesterday afternoon my Internet access had become painfully slow. In despair I turned everything off at the mains and when I switched on again the following day my download speed had increased to 32Mbps!
Could anybody explain why leaving everything off overnight would result in such a dramatic increase please? I'm certainly not complaining...just curious. The speed increase is reasonably constant on two wired PC's and one wireless Laptop.

Hi,
Did the OR Eng leave you with only 5Mb D/L for infinity????????. He should not have done that, any way as your profile would have been set at say 3500kbps and for some reason DLM never picked up the speed for you, Now when you rebooted your system the HH3 picked up your profile to what it should have been. Basically that's it some can go into more detail if you want.

sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

Before posting about the speed Increases for Infin...

Hi All
We started taking orders 12-04-2012 for Infinity 2 on bt.com and since then many of you have raised questions on the forum. Here's a heads-up on what to expect when ordering and what happens next.
I've placed my order but no speed increase
1. Check the order tracker to see when your order is due to complete - it won't complete before this date and please note that orders are completed between midnight and 6am on the day. (link)
2. Check your own equipment - this covers your own setup up to the Openreach socket. Remember to test with a wired (Ethernet) connection if having problems on a wireless setup (more on this below)
3. In a small number of cases you may need to switch the Hub off, and on again, before experiencing any speed increase.
Remember that whilst the service is 'up to 76Mb', the speed you receive depends on your line - If the line can support 60Mb then that is what you will receive - you can check the estimate for your line here: (link)
My order shows as completed, what speed should I expect?
We would have given you an estimate of your maximum broadband speed when you placed your BT Infinity order. You can check your actual speed at any time at speedtester.bt.com.
Your speed test results will show you your current speed, which will vary at different times of day depending on:
1. The way you connect – a wired connection is significantly faster than a wireless one
2. Your computer’s speed – older computers are usually slower
3. How busy the Internet is – the busiest times are evenings and weekends
4. The speed of websites you visit – e.g. some sites cap speeds in busy periods
Please note that it can take up to 10 days for your BT Infinity speed to stabilise so bear this in mind when doing speed tests during this initial period.
How to get the most out of your new speed
Are you using a wired connection? Your connection will be faster and more stable if you use an Ethernet cable(s) to connect your computer(s) to your Hub. At these faster speeds, we recommend a wired connection. Wireless is best reserved for connecting only your mobile devices and laptops.
Are you using the latest wireless kit? The Home Hub uses ‘n’ standard technology, which gives the fastest wireless connection. You may need to buy an ‘n’ wireless adaptor(s) for your computer(s) to take advantage. If you are unsure about wireless adapters you can ask questions in our community or find out more at bt.com/nwireless
Are you using our broadband software? Our Desktop Help software will optimise your computer settings for your new faster speeds. Download it from bt.com/desktophelp. Within this, using the PC Healthcheck feature regularly is particularly important to get the best speeds.

I am so sick of ringing the support now. I have spoke to them so many times its beyond belief. They told me Friday that my internet should be fine by Sunday.
I have done a quiet line test and I dont know what to make of it. I dont have a corded phone, my hands free phone I can hear a faint fuzz. Dont know if thats normal?

Will broadband speed increase if i change to infi...

Well here i am again.
posted topic on broadband forum will my line speed increase if i change to infinity - as infinity speed up to 78 Mb/s now available on my line - According to BT ?
was skeptical - but decided to order BT infinity and report back
Herein is report.
Order accepted - line siutable for infinity.
Open reach engineer came to connect me this morning.
Guess what? back to my old broadband at 0.5 Mb/s
Unable to connect me to infinity, signal refused to sync apparently.
Openreach engineer thinks i have too much copper wire btween me and the fibre optic cabinet - 6.7 kms he reckons. whivch was my point originally but asuccession of BT departments assured me Infinity was available and would work on my line .
so iam back where i started. although i do know now where my nearest cabinet is
left with just a few questions really ?
Why did BT write to me suggesting change to infinity?
Why on BT site if i type number in does it say Infinity availableup to 78 Mb/s?
why did BT sales accept my order without apparently checking line speed?
Has anyone any thoughts on my next move?
Presumably Bt sales will come back to me .
The whole saga reflects badly On BT

i seem to be repeating myself here here is what the checker says:-

BT always offers you the best speed possible on your line.The speed prediction we have given here is an estimate, however download speeds can vary and the actual download speed will fall within a range. The range is an indication of the speed that other similar lines across the UK have achieved for their broadband service; this is generally within 1-2 Mb higher or lower than your single estimated speed quoted.
The actual speed is dependent on several factors such as the product option you choose, the processing power of your computer,how many people are using your broadband connection at the same time,whether you use a wireless or cable connection,the speed of the websites that you visit and how we're managing the network. Speeds can be lower at peak times - peak times are evenings and weekends.
In the first ten days you may see your speed go up and down. When using a postcode only (rather than a telephone number) the checker results are less accurate. It uses a best guess of where you live based on the centre point of the postcode and not the exact routing of the line to your address, and so the result must be treated with caution. When we are able to provide a date for future fibre availability, it is indicative only and subject to change.''
The fact is this is not the case , the Bt wholesale checker for my number gives a similar reply:

Satellite R830-1GZ - CPU usage high ( 25%) and fan speed increase after wakeup

Hello all
The CPU usage of my laptop shoots up to 25% (and beyond) and the fan speed increases dramatically after waking up, but only when I'm using an external mouse (Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) - disconnecting the mouse once this has happened does not solve the problem, so I'm always forced to restart my computer if I have let it go to sleep with the mouse connected.
I've noticed that when this happens System Interrupts - Deferred Procedure Calls and Interrupt Service Routines appears in the Resource monitor>CPU>Processes, and seems to explain the increase in CPU usage.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite R830-1GZ with Windows 7 (64 bit). This problem does not happen when I use the same mouse with another laptop (Dell with Windows XP).
Thank you very much.
CM

Thank you for your reply.
I was using the mouse without installing the software that came with it (IntelliPoint), which seems to have been necessary to obtain the latest driver. So I've installed the latest driver now, but... I've still come across the same high CPU usage problem after wakeup.
If your suspicion is correct, should disconnecting the mouse before putting the computer to sleep (hopefully allowing the process that controls the mouse to close properly) stop this problem from occurring when it wakes up?
Could this problem also occur due to an external keyboard? I'm pretty sure it's the mouse (given my experience of using only the external mouse and only the external keyboard) and my understanding is that keyboards don't require special drivers (at least the A4Tech one I have claims it doesn't)... just trying to exclude all possibilities.
Thanks again for your help.

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

Scroll speed increases in InDesign CS4

I just installed InDesign CS4 on my Toshiba NB505 netbook running Windows 7 Starter. The scroll is driving me nuts. When I use my touchpad scroll, the first few lines scroll smoothly, but then the speed increases to jump several lines with every touch. The document I'm looking at is only one page, but I can't get to even the halfway point before it starts jumping. This appears to be the only program this happens in.
