Line fixed - BB still very slow indeed

Hi - I'm new here though I've had BT Total BB for some time now and I've always been happy with it.
Could do with some advice here please..
I had a long standing line fault on the voice line which I put up with for ages until recently when it got so bad it was impossible to hold a conversation on the phone. Broadband deteriorated to such an extent it was virtually unusable with frequent disconnections.
Anyway, the Openreach engineer came out last Wednesday and diagnosed a line fault. He first replaced the line from the telegraph pole to the 'green box' and then, after more diagnostics, replaced the line from the 'green box' to the exchange. As he left he told me I had effectively a new line from the house to the exchange.
Sure enough, the fault is fixed - the line is crystal clear and I reckon my broadband speed should now (eventually) be running at optimum speed as I'm less than 800m from the exchange.
Trouble is, my BB speed is still absolutely dire. The connection has been absolutely rock-solid for more than three days now.
Question is - will it ramp up automatically or will it need manual intervention?
I've attached my router stats and a BT speed test, both taken in the last few minutes.
Any advice warmly welcomed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

your high noise margin and your connection speed are the banding give away and your line attenuation is the line length from the exchange this link explains a lot about various aspects of broadband http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php

  • CS3 Still Very Slow with psd files

    I'm still having terrible performance issues with CS3 and imported CMYK psd files containing spot colours. I have a 9MB psd file with two spot colours imported into a layer in Illustrator, with some illustrator line work on top. Just zooming in give me a 5 second screen redraw, everything is very sluggish and occasionally I get a crash. I still get these weird alert box saying "Generating Pixels" now and again when importing the psd files.
    G5 Dual 2.0GHz, 2.5GB RAM, OSX 10.4.11, Illustrator 13.02, Photoshop 10.0.1.
    I'm not having these issues on a different mac running CS2.

    I'm thinking it might be RAM, I have Photoshop and Illustrator open at the same time. I have around 100GB of scratch disk space.
    But weirdly the slowness is not apparent using CS2. Things are just dead slow with a Photoshop file placed in Illustrator CS3. These files are only 30MB, but contain 3 spot channels + CMYK. Even with preview mode switched off, it's still very slow and I mean everything slows down.
    There is a lot of disk activity going on, so maybe my hard disks on this 3 year old mac are just getting too long in the tooth.
    What drives me nuts is I remember doing the same kind of work in Illustrator 8 on a G4 running System 9 and everything was MUCH faster.
    Oh, and I'd better not mention how fast Freehand was for this kind of work...

  • Updated to LR 5.4, images now importing extremely slow. After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast.

    After importing and rendering images are still very slow to go through and develop. No issues in LR 5.3 which was very fast. Canon,Nikon, Leica and Fuji files all rendering slow. iMac 2.9 ghz 16gb RAM OSX 10.8.5. Catalogs and images are kept on external drives. Drives running fine. Really need a fix on this since I'm norally imported and processing at least 4,000 images per LR Catalog. Is there way to revert back to 5.3? I can't use 5.4 is its current state. Thanks.

    Download LR 5.3 and install it
    By the way, lots of people have this complaint about LR 5.4, and the advice I give is to use LR 5.3 unless you need one of the new camera models supported by LR 5.4

  • Calendar on iPhone 3G iOS 4.1 still very slow to open

    Since I went from iOS 3 to the terrible 4 also my iPhone 3G has been very slow.
    The biggest problem however seems isolated: when I open the Calendar app, it takes a very long time for it to open. Initially it opens as quick as it used to, however then the screen goes blank with only the calendar header available. Then after what could be 10 to 20 seconds the app is functioning is again and the screen is filled with my calendar data. This happens every time I start the app.
    I have just now updated to 4.1 to see if this issue is solved, but there has been no improvement here.
    My Calendar is synced through MobileMe and I have 2 calendars. Before iOS 4 it worked perfectly well and smooth.
    Am I the only one with this problem? If yes, could I solve it by a Recovery action and rebuild the iPhone?

    Hi there! Same problem here. In April 2010 I bought my iPhone 3G with iOS 3.1.3 and I was enthusiast. Updating to iOS 4 I experienced poor performance of a sluggish phone with core apps working slowly. Updating to iOS 4.1 brought me back a responsive phone, but also the calendar issue. I've always used the List View and starting the app I realized that the list was empty. Quickly changing to Day/Month View and back to List View is a workaround I discovered by myself, but it's not what I expect from an Apple product. I've always synced my iPhone with my MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2009 shipped with Snow Leopard. Is anyone in Cupertino able to help people in this thread? Thanks in advance.

  • 1st back-up with ethernet still very slow

    I've checked other threads related to the slow 1st back-up, but didn't find an acceptable answer.
    I'm trying my initial back-up of about 80 GB from my MacBook. I started with the wireless connection- after 5 days, it had only backed up 16 GB!! And then it seemed to hang for another day with out any progress so I cancelled it (I couldn't leave my portable computer stationary any longer). I started again, this time using ethernet, as suggested in other postings, but it is still doggedly slow (less than 1 MBPS!). I am using a CAT5E cable, so shouldn't it be at least 100/sec?? I had assumed that if I went out an bought a CAT 6 cable, I'd bump it up to a GB, but since the CAT5E is slow I'm not sure if it's worth it.
    So is this an issue with the manner in which Time Machine organizes data for backup, an issue related to the ethernet connection, or something entirely different?
    Any advice/suggestions are much appreciated!

    It sounds as if you might have configured your Time Capsule to "join" your wireless network, correct?.
    In this type of setup, the TIme Capsule simply becomes a wireless hard drive and the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule are not enabled.
    If you could consider connecting your Time Capsule to your main router using a permanent Ethernet cable connection, you would have the option to backup using wireless or Ethernet.

  • Installed my new Airport extreme and try to link it to airport express  but the wifi still very slow

    I installed my new Airport extreme today and try to link it to my airport express to expend my wifi coverage to my second floor  but the wifi si very slow on second florr not better then without express? what can I do??

    Hi Francois
    Any wired connection or WiFi network extension (using your AirPort Express) with your second floor will make your network signal stronger but not necessarly faster.  If your WiFi signal is so poor that internet connection keeps dropping, it will make a speed difference.  Otherwise the only difference you'll notice is that the range of the wireless network has increased.
    You say "wifi is very slow on the second floor".  Do you mean that the internet is slow?  Is it very fast on the first floor?
    Try checking your internet connection speed on a laptop on each floor:
    speedtest.net
    and press "begin test recommended server".
    The download speed should approximate your ISP contracted speed.  Upload speed will be a fraction of this.  Wifi will be slower but unless you have a super-fast internet connection, you probably shouldn't notice it.

  • Fix for a very slow browser

    Hello All,
    I hope this helps.
    Here's my problem. My browser, when wireless, had slowed down dramatically. Loading pages took forever. I tried it at home and the office and both were slow.
    When I plugged it directly into the Ethernet it was blazingly fast. Made me want to cry
    I tried many of the things suggested here including clearing cache etc.
    Here's what worked for me. Corrupt network config file I guess.
    System Preferences
    Network
    Location tab click to "New Location"
    Name it Apple (or anything you like)
    Click Apply
    See if that works for you. Fixed 2 weeks of frustration for me!

    Thanks for posting this Justin. I'm sure it will help others wondering what happened to their browser speed,
    Also, consider adding 4.2.2.2 to your Network>Airport>TCP> DNS servers box, selecting "apply". This too may help in the speed department.

  • Got Infinity 2 on 3rd Sept still very slow

    Got Infinity 2 on 3rd Sept, sub contractor cocked up , had Openreach in they have fixed phone line, been on phone to BT lady she suggested switch off all other devices and connect via ethernet cable to get a decent speed!
    isn't that defeating the object, I mean why don't they reccomend you pitch a tent next to the BT cabinet and connect directly in there
    why isn't this plug and go?

    there is no uk CS number just the standard

  • Migrate images still very slow in 1.1.1

    This new feature introduced in 1.1 allows for raw images to be processed under the new and improved raw engine. It became apparent in 1.1 that using the Migrate images command on several raw took a very long time to do. This has not improved in 1.1.1.
    So please beware when using this function that after the pop-up showing how many were migrated and you click 'ok' Aperture then proceeeds to run global climate change models in teh background. Ooops i mean it seems to spend enormous cpu cycles after it says it was complete.
    For anyone using 'migrate images' please go for a bio break and leave your system alone as any further Aperture processing will grind you to a near halt. Let it finish its work.
    I migrated 380 raw's to 1.1, the progress bar took ~57s until 'Done', then cpus ramped ~330% for about 8 minutes.
    FYI.
    Suggestions:
    1. Show the whole migration task within the task Window until its fully completed.
    2. Improve the migration coding to do this faster.
    3. Add a warning to users that this will take a long time.
    4. Have the progress bar show the REAL and complete processing cycle, including the background portion.
    I suppose this problem will eventually work its way out as most people will only import using 1.1 raw.

    As far as I can tell, the progress bar is just for the database changes - updating the thumbnails is going to be a MUCH more intensive task as all 380 files get loaded up and thumbnails are redone. At the left end of the control bar is a little spinny progress icon which appears when there are background tasks going on, when you migrate images, this spins until all the thumbnails are done. Think of it in terms of re-importing all the images...
    That said, the progress bars and task viewer window could do with a bit of thought.

  • Still Very Slow Channel Changing..​.Getting frustratin​g

    I see that this issue says its been resolved.  Not here anyway. Have 2 DVRs and are both slow to change channels. It's almost like the boxes have to warm up or something. It's ridiculous and frustrating. Please resolve this issue..

    Try going to menu > settings > sd override and select 'off'
    if it's already off then choose 480i
    off is the usual preference

  • 10.6.8 still very slow/beach ball after v1.1

    I have a 17" 2010 macbookpro, 8gb ram, 500gb hdd.
    I had previously upgraded to 10.6.8 and experienced a completely locked up system. Ultimately had to reinstall from OS X Disc and patch back to 10.6.7. Everything has worked normally since. I also patched Parallels to address the issue related to 10.6.8. On Saturday while updating other items I inadvertently updated to 10.6.8 again (I know, i know...). At first everything seemed to be operating fine, but now the system is exhibiting the same decline in performance again. After a few minutes of doing any normal activity the system eventually hangs with a beach ball. Rebooting is slow on the blue screen but eventually loads.  I applied the 10.6.8 v1.1 combo update but it does not seem to have had any positive effect. Before I begin the OSX reinstall process all over again, is there any other potential workaround I can try? I'm not prepared to migrate to 10.7 at this point either.
    Thanks

    Please boot in safe mode and test. Same problems? After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

  • RemoteFX configured and running - but still very slow

    Hello!
    The goal:
    To install and test RemoteFX performance before purchase expensive server/vga.
    The success so far:
    installed and configured Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with Hyper-V
    installed and configured Windows 7 Enterprice SP1 virtual machine with RemoteFX video adapter enabled
    running Windows 7 SP1 client with the supported version (7.1) RDP
    successful RDP connection and confirmed RemoteFX running (the shut down button + event with ID:2 on the VM and so on)
    no errors/warnings in the event viewer, RDP client is 10mbit or more etc.. all settings seems to be perfect.
    The hardware used (I know it's not a real server, but the idea is to "feel" the RemoteFX performance before purchase and for a single VM it's quite enough):
    AMD 6800k (SLAT enabled) cpu
    nVidia GTX560 1G GDDR5 (also tested with ATI R7 240 2G)
    8g DDR3 2400mhz memory
    The problem:
    The performance is.. let say the same as with the normal RDP connection. Pretty much no difference.
    I checked almost every problem on the internet related to the RemoteFX, but without a single log/message I just can't do more.
    The VGA is not Quadro/FirePro.. but from what I saw, the people are just using normal cards without any problems and for test purposes should be fine.
    I also tried to install the cap driver (dism / ...), without any difference (actually I'm not 100% sure that this is needed, can someone explain?).
    I'll be happy if someone can point me the way I can "debug" it.
    Best!

    So I was typing out a long detailed reply indicating how I was seeing exactly the same issues, and why I was pretty sure it was happening for all of us.
    However, it now appears that I've been able to get it up and running pretty well. Like the OP, I am simply using desktop hardware at first to test it out but here's what I'm working with:
    Windows Server 2012R2 with 8.1 Enterprise VM connecting using an 8.1 Pro machine.
    AMD FX-8150
    16GB DDR3
    120GB SSD
    Radeon HD6950 - 1GB
    Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 Motherboard
    When I was seeing the issues you all are seeing, it was when RemoteFX was working fine. This was verified by dxdiag and openhardwaremonitor on the server itself watching the GPU utilization rise while rendering the fishbowl.
    However, another thing I noticed was that due to the AMD software of desktops (what I have installed on the windows server itself), the CPU and GPU both clock down to conserve power. Because of this, the one VM wasn't enough to raise them both to max. Once
    I forced the CPU and GPU to both stay at max frequency, everything runs pretty amazingly. VM is using 4 cores, No limit on RAM (hits about 4GB max), vGPU is set to 3 monitors at 1920x1080, and a 35GB chunk of the SSD. Here's what I see now:
    HTML5 Fishbowl - Fullscreen at 1680x1050 on Auto makes it to 250 fish at 60FPS
    HTML5 Fishbowl - Windowed at about 1/3rd size Auto makes it to 850 fish at 60FPS
    Borderlands 2 - Able to install, use XBOX controller with USB Passthrough at about 25FPS at 1280x1024.
    I would also like to point out that the biggest bottleneck it seems is actually the VM's ability to encode the data stream sending to the client at the far end. Evidence of this is shown by just taking a window and placing it over the fishbowl (I used the
    task manager). Once you cover some of the fish, you'll see the framerate go up fairly significantly. (since not as many pixels are changing, and so there's less traffic to send).
    Anyway, just thought I'd share! Hope you're all doing better on this!

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

Maybe you are looking for
