Is turning off a Home Hub a valid reason for very ...

The BT Technical people, are trying to resolve my problem of very slow broadband speeds, and part of their stated reason is that I used to turn off my Hub every time I'd logged off (I don't now!), with the automatic monitoring software detecting this as repeated faults & re-setting my profile to deliver progressively slower speeds "until it gets a stable broadband connection".
Is this true?  I can find nothing in the user guides for the Home Hub 3 they've very recently sent to me, nor anywhere else on BT sites, telling users they must leave their Hub turned on 24/7.

Which "Hub instructions" would those be?  BT technical people sent me a new Hub 3, which came with no paper manuals, no cd etc.  When I finally tracked down Hub 3 manuals on BT.Com, none of them refer to leaving the Hub on permanently, only to leaving it on 24/7 for the first few days after BT Broadband is enabled until it "settles down".  Since my connection was enabled over 2 years ago, that clearly was never the issue - nor did anyone from BT tell me to leave the Hub on 24/7 when I moved to this house!  Nor is the requirement in my original Hub's manuals..
I'm just curious as to how a user is supposed to know about this "leave it on" rule, and the consequences (automatically reduced speeds) if you don't.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, etc., turned off.  Seems to be on reason for this.

    Why does my iPhone 5 give random chimes?  I have all notifications, location services, etc., turned off. 

    I had the exact same problem with my iPhone 4. I would select the song I was wanting to play and it would load for a second, then simply shuffle to the next. It did this with almost my entire iPod. So, I synced it with my computer and it's copy of my music, and presto, my music played perfectly. So, I would reccomend trying that. Hope this helped!!

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • Ipod wont turn off using home button only.

    I got my ipod touch yesterday at the apple store, and today, it wont turn off if you hold down the home button. It shuts down if you use the power button on the top left corner, but not with the home button. Th home button works fine for everything else. Can anyone guess what the problem is?
    thanks

    Hello Kate,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The only way to power off the iPod is using the Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPod as you described. There is no way to turn off the iPod using the Home button.
