Live Near to The Exchange but Nowhere near BT Spee...

Hi,
We live quite near the exchange in our village but are stuggling to get a good speed. The best speed we've achieved to date is 3.2Mb/s but recently it's dropped to 1.6Mb/s. Any ideas based on the info below?
BT Speed Checker, Note that If I go into the test socket the range increases to approximately 8Mb/s but actual speed remains at 1.6Mb/s
IP Profile for your line is - 1750 Kbps
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1663 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 400-2000 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :2144 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
These are the stats from my router page, does the output power look too low?

Based on the reply from gouledw above we had a closer look at the socket connection. Initiall we were suprised that there were so many connections and after a bit of tugging we pulled out the monster in the attached photo.
The router stats are now the following, any way to speed up the speed refresh and get onto a faster IP profile?

I live almost next door to the exchange but only g...

If i throw a stone from my back garden i reckon i could hit the roof of the telephone exchange so that's how close i am to it, but my upload speed is only 36k and never higher.
i play a lot of online games and im always getting told by others that my connection is lagging and at times this gets me thrown out of some gaming rooms because people get annoyed at the delay in my updating to the game server. its most noticeable in sim racing games where i disappear from track then suddenly pop up in front of someone and this is very bad for all, and i need to get this sorted fast.
i use to have 56k upload at my old address and was along way from the exchange so my question is why is my upload speed so bad if im living next door to a exchange ??
my download speed is 510k
my upload speed is 36k
im on adsl with microfilters i use the bt accelerator and am plugged into the box by my front door so there is nothing more i can do.
When i joined bt i was told my line should be good for 9mb but ive never got 900k the best ive ever got was 614k so no idea where they get their info from.
is the UK really so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to internet connections?

Next door to the exchange but very slow broadband

Hello, like the post title says I live 20 seconds walk from the local exchange yet I am now getting very slow broadband speeds (around 1Mbps downstream). This has not always been the case, I was getting about 12-14 about a couple of months ago. I have over the last two months been getting a lot of dropped connections. Broadband was not used a lot over the summer but have now got around to investigating and so far seen the following information. From what I have read the noise margin seems to be very high, does this need to be reset by a mod? Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
Quiet line check, seemed ok to me.

Have now moved the router onto the master socket.
Re-did the quiet test and now no noise on the line using any of the ADSl filters I have.
Have also unplugged the phone so now only connection is the router.
Here are the latest numbers after moving the router. Should I now wait for3 days and see if the speed picks up or should I try and contact a mod?

jslack73,
Thank you so much for those details. I do see that the area should have pretty good coverage. Since you have been at home have you been able to remove the sim card for a good 10-15 seconds http://vz.to/1ys6Uj0? Also, please try resetting the network settings on the phone. You can do that by going into Settings, General, Reset, and Reset Network Settings. After this is complete you would need to re-add in your wi-fi passwords. Please keep us posted.

Just hold down the power button for about ten seconds and the machine will turn off.
I'm not sure how fast your Internet speed is but my Mavericks downloads usually only take about 20-25 minutes for a 5.33GB file.
No telling what will be waiting for your when you power back on... call back if you can't login to your computer.

Please help i dont live near apple store!

can anyone just let me know if i buy a macbook pro from the apple website and a problem occured. who would i go to for repairs as i dont live near any apple store. however there is a place that sells apple computers called krcs maybe if someone could look at the site and see if it is as im a noob when it comes to these things. anyways thanks to anyone

you call apple, they send you a box, and they fix it. They mail it back to you.
You can also have it repaired at an apple authorized repair center, which may not be an apple store.
Please don't ask us to do dirty work for you. We can't make judgments for you, we can only give you information on support concerns.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

And believe me, the roaming charges are truly frightening!
But in those spots where 4G/LTE works ok, speed is outstanding. So they can stick you with a HUGE roaming charge in a jiffy.....

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
I hope this will work for you.

I have a PC with Windows Vista but I cannot find my photo stream anywhere. I followed the directions on the FAQ but it led me nowhere. What do I do?

Well I linked to an article produced and hosted by Apple so I suppose if they have an issue with it the would have to spank themselves
In addition the US Supreme Court has ruled that making a copy of a DVD for personal use or as a backup is perfectly legal, we've been doing that with CDs for as long as it has been possible, same for video tapes.
What is illegal is breaking any DRM protection on the media (this holds true for all media not just DVDs) and actually even this is a bit murky. What is definitely illegal is to sell software to break DRM. However if you write your own DRM breaking software and use it to make personal copies or backups the law gets real gray.
So again as long as there is no DRM involved its OK, with DRM you're best to leave it alone.
