Low speed

Have very low speed - 0.225 mbs, download. On signing up I was told I will be receiving minimum of 8mbs, average of 15mbs and a maximum of 19mbs. Besides being passed from pillar to post as no-one understands why the broadband is so low I have just been informed that the maximum I can get is now 10mbs - quite a big difference? I have also been told I will be charged to have the phone line looked at even though it was only installed by BT two months previously so I will be paying twice. Is this right? I have been lied to, called a liar, transferred to every department within BT. Each member of staff has told me they can't help that I need to be transferred to a different department so after five hours on the phone I am still at square one! This has been going on for two months. Oh I was also told I would receive compensation for not receiving a service but apparently I'm suddenly not eligible for this. I can get faster broadband (more than 10mbs) for cheaper elsewhere. BT have broken the contract by not supplying me with the service that they promised. BT staff don't seem to know much as they can't even agree on the rate of broadband I should be receiving. This is not to mention how rude they have all been towards me. I am thankful that everything is recorded as this proves that I am not at fault and there are obviously training issues that need to be addressed within all departments in the company. Has anyone else had the same experience? Can any moderators respond? 

Hello, thanks for your response.
I can assure you that i have tried absolutely everything including replacement router, filters etc.
The line was only installed on the 14th April, and BT only guarantee their work for a month! I paid £130 to have a line installed...
They have admitted there is a fault in the line, but even after 6 hours of diagnostic tests still cant find the problem. These tests werent all carried out today but over the past 2 months yet they still didn't send another engineer round to check the line had been installed correctly. I was only offered this option once the "28 day" warranty on the line had expired hence I was expected to pay for it. If this information is incorrect, i have been lied to by the Technical team at BT once again.
The end result after approx 6 hours on the phone today was that i demanded a full refund for the past 2 months of broadband that i was paying for but not receiving, which was granted after a struggle, and a cancellation of the contract due to BT breaching the contract on at least 2 counts. The first being that i was lied to by the initial sales advisor about the speed of the internet connection i was to expect and BT could not honour this and the second due to paying for a service that i was not receiving. I still have not resolved the problem with the line itself which needs to be looked at by BT regardless of which isp i decide to go with now.
I think BT really need to look into the staff they have on the end of the phone as they have been nothing but helpless and i can imagine that they have lost BT 1000's of customers due to their lack of knowledge or training.

  • When home sharing songs are transferring at an extremely low speed. why is this happening??

    Hi
    I shared my library with my Husband's library using the same apple id. I then tried to copy songs from that library to mine. But the songs are transferring at a ridiculously low speed. When he copied the songs from my library it did not take as much time. Can you please tell me why this is happening?? Is this a problem with the itunes??

    Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

  • I Can't Burn a CD any more! and a lower speed does nothing - HELP!

    I have been burning CDs on this machine (imac 10.3.9) the same way for years and years. (7)
    Up till last month.
    This is what I get when I burn a playlist.
    "itunes can not burn this cd because your burn speed is too fast for you cd burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane then try burning again."
    I've tried that - even though that seems silly considering I've had no problems at my current settings until now. The lowest burn speed (1) gives me the same error.
    I'm hating life and my mac right now, something I though I'd never say.
    Anyone?

    If you don't have Nero, check out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9229334#9229334. I think some people have found a way to get just the Burn Rights program.
    If that doesn't work, some people seem to have luck with editing the registry or messing with filters or gear drivers. Check out this discussion starting with Tytus (he came up with the Nero fix) on March 22:

  • Low speed connection, but still have input history.

    Hi there,
    We have done some tests in our business to see the performance difference between "low speed connection" being enabled and disabled for a system, both from a network perspective, and from a performance perspective on Citrix servers.
    We have determined that the 'input history' feature doesn't cause much performance impact, but a lot of the other 'high-speed' features like images and tool tips do.
    We would like to be able to have "low speed connection" for our system, but still enable 'input history'. Is there any way this can be achieved, such as through INI or registry changes?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    I raised a message with SAP, and they responded saying that this is not possible

  • High speed and Low Speed CAN

    Hi
    This is my first time to use CAN.
    I have LabVIEW  2010 and  LabVIEW FPGA
    I have NI 3110 Dual-Core Industrial Controller with Windows OS, NI 9157, NI 9852 CAN Low Speed Module and NI 9853 CAN High Speed Module to be used to monitor the CAN messages from an ECU unit.
    The connection is done as the following:
    ·         The High speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9853 (Port 0)
    ·         The low speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9852 (Port 0)
    ·         The baud rate of the 9853 is 500kbps
    ·         The baud rate of the 9852 is 50kbps
    ·         Both modules are set to “Listen Only”
    ·         “Module Clock” in both modules is set to 20MHz
    ·         CAN networks are 29-bit and 11-bit.
    My consideration is to read all the messages from both modules without losing any message. Below is a picture from the block diagram on the FPGA target, is this the best way to read CAN messages from both modules? Also, could you please suggest what is the best way to read the messages on Host vi?
    Unfortunately, I do not have the module right now to do some test, so that I cannot get the iteration time (“CAN Low Speed Loop” and “CAN High Speed Loop” show in the picture below), could you please tell how to calculate the iteration time needed for each loop depending on the above information.

    The way that you have proposed to use the CAN module to monitor the BUS is a bad idea.  We have a prebuilt driver that will do most of this work for you.  You will need to download and install the NI-CAN 2.7.3 and then you will be able to use the example finder.  In the example finder look for.
    The example finder is accessed through the Help menu.

  • Read per axis status / run-stop don't work at low speed

    Hello,
    This is my fisrt motion program. I don't understand why the "read per axis status" don't send me the correct status for "run/stop" (only this status) when I run a low speed. The other status are all right. Impultions are still generated (In realyty motor run...)
    I put a simple example to illustrate. Perhaps is it a wrong configuration in MAX but this seems unlikely. I can't join my Max config because ".nce" are not accepted in attached files.
    Thank you wery much

    I realize this is an old post but wanted to post the solution in case others run across it.  The reason the indicator is not working at low speeds is because it operates on a threshold.  The default setting is for it to display false when running under 4000 steps or counts per second.  Refer to KnowledgeBase 4XHD6DZY: Why does my Run/Stop bit not appear active while my motor is running?

  • How to use PCI-CAN LS (low speed can bus card) with hi speed devices

    I'm having problems connecting the low speed card to the hi speed devices: I've setup the bus with 120 ohms resistors terminating it. The devices seem to be working fine but the can card doesn´t seem to receive or send anything. It has rth and rtl of 510ohms. The card and devices are at 125kbps. I ran the card diagnostics and it passed them. Is it really possible to use this low speed card with a hi speed bus? Don't I have to do something special for it to work on hi speed bus? Any sugestion is highly appreciated! thank you

    Hello Danut,
    I was able to set up a Low Speed CAN card to talk to a High speed port on another computer( simulating a high speed device). I did not have any termination resistors on the cable. Initially, I saw the same Comm errors you mentioned and this was because the cable I was using was internally terminated. So please check that the cables are not terminated. Also , verify that the high speed device itself is not terminated ( measure the resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L, with the cable connected and without the cable).
    Let me know if you were able to get the system up and running. Also do you have any low speed devices that can be used to test teh CAN card with?

  • Crazy low speed from the off

    hi all,
    im a (relatively) new BT customer in a brand new build house. Before moving in i did some digging around to see what sort of speeds i could get with different providers and settled on BT as they seemed to be the best average and i preferred the BT home hub compared to the other ISPs offerings. (i would also add that im an IT engineer so did the usual **bleep** studying beforehand although whether this is a disadvantage remains to be seen)
    i have been on the service for a month or two now and am getting dreadful low speeds.  On average i get 750kbps down (max 950kbps) and 200kbps up.  i have checked the disitance to the exchange with all the usual tools and its 0.9 miles away apprently.  I have checked out all of my wiring and tried several ADSL filters but this is the speed i am stuck with.
    I opened a case with BT and am getting the usual. (i would mention at this point that there is an issue with the BT site where you check what speeds you MAY get, if you're not a BT customer (which i wasn't) and you stick your address you get the 'up to 12meg' result, if you ARE a BT customer then you put your actual phone number in you get the REAL result.  in my case i was advised i would get 'around 12meg' but then i was told i would actually get 'around 1meg', this is not good)
    i am advised by BT that my exchange will get ADSL2 by the end of this year (2x-3x? ADSL) but im not counting my chickens.  For info i came from a great 20meg cable connection in my old house so theres a big old step in the right direction
    Im sure that this has been covered many a time on these forums so apologies if i just havent found my answers and feel free to just link me somewhere or copy and paste some jazz
    anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
    thanks in advance
    David

    As already been advised in bits and bobs:
    The top tips for a good connection on a long line are as follows:
    1) Is removing the bell wire as I have already advised and to have a good clean socket, with all the wires moved away from the connected wires, or snipped off all together, just to ensure as little interference as possible.
    2) Would be to get a business hub, there are two available on Ebay, the 2701 (pictured right) and the 2700hgv (pictured left), now the 200HGV's seem to give a better sync speed by about 300kbps give or take, but I find they are less stable, whereas the 2701 decreases the sync speed but is far more stable, and good at holding onto low SNR's, I've seen it hold all night at -2dB Noise Margin and Im on a 9km line.
    3) Would be to get a shieled RJ11 cable, as this can reduce the amount of interference, and also importantly it has the twists in as the telephone cables do to refract UV radiation, and Impulse noise just to name a few things.  And the ends of them are gold plated with 24k gold just to ensure maximum transition .

    We have about 10000 users on 20 SAP productions systems in Europe.
    At the moment, our saplogon setting is with low speed connection option but a lot of users required historic functionality in input field and we ask ourself to unset this option to allow high speed connection.
    The problem is that we don't know exactly what can be this impact on this on our network bandwith ?

  • Receiving 'low speed usb 1.1' error when syncing

    I updated itunes to 10.0.1 a day after it was released and have synced my ipod a few times without any problems. A few days ago, an error message popped up when I connected my ipod saying that my ipod was connected to a "low-speed usb 1.1 port" and says I should "connect to a high-speed usb 2.0 port if one is available on my computer". The sync seemed to be slower than usual. My mac mini only has usb 2.0 ports and was connected directly into the computer and not to a usb hub.
    I have reset my ipod, restored it, and restarted my computer and still receive the same error message.
    Has anyone received a similar message and have any suggestions on what I can try next? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Connection issues and low speeds

    Hi there,
    my family have been with BT now for about 3 or so years and the connection had been rather good until about late last year. According to my family it's everytime I come back home from uni the internet starts to play up as in:
    . Low speeds
    .Drops out and loses connection
    Believing it was somehow my laptop causing the issues I backed everything up and completly wiped it because BT support thought it may be a virus on my machine even the the checks came back with nothing. So I've wiped my laptop and restarted it like it was a brand new laptop...still we're having these issues so I refuse to believe it's my laptop causing the problems. I've changed the chanel on the hub so many times it just doesn't make a difference. Tried different DSL adapters tried different cables even a wired connection causes problems. I am begining to think it's because the router has had it but I am willing to try anything at this point before asking for a new router from BT. Even BT don't seem to know what the problem is all they do is reset the routers chanel every single time I ring them.
    So any advice or help would be greatly appreaciated
    Many Thanks

  • Low Speed Internet - on iMac Only

    Hi,
    I have an early 2008 iMac running 10.9.5. 
    Recently the WiFi on it has been running painfully slow, compared to the other devices in my home.  I thought it was due to the location in my home but it doesn't appear so as I've compared it to a Macbook.
    The iMac's speed test results in download speeds between:  1.2 and 5.6 mps.
    The Macbook's speed test results, when right next to the iMac:  25 mps.
    Around where my airport is (downstairs), speeds on the Macbook are 50+ mps, which is what I am paying for.   (The iMac is upstairs.)
    Is there a way to fix this so the iMac runs at the ~25 mps like the Macbook does?  Is this a general problem with Mavericks, which I've read from others?
    One solution I tried which did not work is:  Go To> /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration > Delete the files, reconnect and get a fresh reconfigure.  This did not solve the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
