LTE- San Francisco- Speeds are horrible

When I first got a VZ 4GLTE jet pack, I replaced my home internet over a year ago. I was getting speeds of over 10Mb/ 2Mb up at my home in the Haight area of SF 94117. The last 3 months speeds have been horrible. I've tested speeds in different parts of the city using Root metrics and Speedtest.net on both my Jetpack and my HTC DNA phone. I now receive 1-2Mb/1 if I'm lucky. From July 18th-yesterday I was averaging 384K and for half of sunday not getting any speeds.
My performance in downtown SF has also deteriorated. I rarely get anything above 3Mb from my office on Pine and Front. Why am I paying a premium for Vz LTE . I've been getting the same performance as Sprint's 3G. Many of my peers in tech share the same frustration at Vz's lack of capacity planning for LTE. Please advise on what is being done.
Thank You
Mike

Only in Firefox browser when a person types in Buddhist Church of San Francisco they are taken to a link that leads them to a Canadian pharmacy. Why?

I work at the Buddhist Church of San Francisco.
When others trying to find our website search in Modzilla: "Buddhist Church of San Francisco" They are taken to a link that looks like our home page bcsfweb.org. When they click on the link, they are taken to a Canadian pharmacy. I've been getting calls that we've been hacked. When you type bcsfweb.org into the url bar, our site comes up. When you search Buddhist Church of San Francisco in Chrome or Safari you are taken to our home page. It's just Modzilla. I've notified them through email and haven't received a response. I've left a voicemail on an 800 customer service number no response.
Any ideas why this might be happening or how to navigate to the right office to notify Modzilla of this problem?
Thank you,
MBrown

Yes.
Your website's server has been hacked.
This happens when you click a search result on the Google results page and the referrer is enabled (network.http.sendRefererHeader = 2).
*https://www.google.com/search?q=http://bcsfweb.org/
So you need the check the DNS servers.

Recommended Apple repair facilities in San Francisco Bay Area?

The Apple Store just told me that I need to have the ExpressCard slot replaced on my MacBook Pro. They said I need to take it to a 3rd party certified repair center to have the slot's metal frame replaced, but had no recommendations on where to take it unless I wanted Apple to ship it away for me.
I'd like to physically bring one in so I don't have to have the risks, costs, and most importantly time delays associated with shipping.
Does anyone have any recommendations on really good, and really fast-turnaround repair centers I can take it? I live in Foster City, and work in San Francisco. Those locations are preferred, but I will also go somewhere in Marin or the Fremont area.
Note that my MacBook Pro IS under warranty, so I'm looking for certified repair facilities that will conduct the service under the terms of my warranty.
Cheers,
Dan

Let me get this clear... so something is broken that was in your computer when you got it from apple.... its something that "they" had installed in their factory.
If so... than they are pulling your leg.... You have to get back to them and make clear that this is their problem Not yours..... If you have it repaired somewhere els they can always claim that the problem could come from that.
Stop putting all your trust in Apple and take control.
So to sum it up again.... If the thing that is broke (what ever it is) was in the machine when you got it from apple, they have to repair it... there is no discussion about it.
If they are telling you they are not allowed to order something they are full of s*.... why would they not be allowed to buy anything.
Don't worry I have had dealing with people over the phone and in the store similar to this and I just ask if they can give me someone who is allowed to make real decisions and they will always comply with you.
There is a policy to make it your problem first before they make it their own.
I hope this helps and that you get your machine fixed soon.

Is Edge working anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, M-F between 9-5?

I'm in Oakland, right off the freeway. It was up and running (albeit slowly) this morning, was able to send out an email at 7:43 A.M..
Nothing when I tried it at 11:00, nothing now at noon. Paying $20 month to AT&T for their Edge service seems crazy.
Is anyone else out there still having EDGE problems? (Especially, anyone in the Bay Area?) Trying to get on here from 9-5 is pretty much impossible.

Shelia, I live and work in downtown San Francisco (Russian/Nob Hill) and have no problem connecting to Edge. It is working just fine, albiet a bit slow but it does work fine. If you'll take a look at the AT&T Wireless Coverage viewer for the SF Bay Area you'll be able to better pinpoint the reliability of EDGE.

Possible San Francisco Bay Area Assistance Needed

Hello,
I'm in a bit of a jam and it's possible (about 50/50) that I may need a bit of assistance in the Bay Area next Thursday or Friday.
Apple is likely going to replace the motherboard on my Mac Pro this week. Unfortunate. It is covered under Apple Care, but the delay impacts my April 19 deadline for my film.
I have about 24 gig of video data from a Sandisk UDMA 32 gig card that I would like to offload so that I can shoot my final footage next weekend. I have a 32 gig thumbdrive we can transfer it to.
The footage was shot on a Canon 5D and I would like to borrow someone's PrPro software here in the Bay Area, if necessary.
Alternatively, I could Fed ex the card and pay for return fedex as well.
Thanks for considering this.

Thanks Hunt.
Looks like I better go out and purchase a copy of the hilarious book "My First Movie" an interview with 20 famous directors about the fiascoes and adventures that accompanied their first film:

I backed up my media, but didn't have a spare MacPro when its motherboard went down!

San Francisco Bay Area BART

Yesterday morning prior to heading out via BART for MacWorld I downloaded schedule and map data for the iPod.
In trying to follow their install instructions below they ended up making no sense to me as I did not see what they say should be seen. Just wondering if anyone may happen to know how to add data like this to the 'notes' portion of the iPod? TIA
Follow below are BART's instructions with their downloaded software:
Transferring BART Schedules to your iPod
Transfer the schedules into your "Notes" folder using your iPod's external disk feature:
Download "BQPiPodSchedules.zip" and decompress it with WinZip (PC) or
StuffIt Expander (Mac);
Enable disk use on your iPod and mount it as an external disk;
In Mac desktop or Windows Explorer, drag the four data folders ("BART weekdays," "BART Saturdays," "BART Sundays" and "BART Stations") into your iPod's "Notes" folder;
Unmount your iPod and you're done!
To view BART schedules and station information, scroll to "Extras" then "Notes." Select a day of the week, then the station, then view departure times by line direction. Install all the files or just the days and stations you need. As with other notes files, it may take a while to load the first time. For more information on using your iPod's Notes function or enabling Disk Use, check out your Apple iPod documentation.
Transferring the BART System Map to your iPod
Transfer the map into your photo library just like any other photo using Apple iTunes:
Depending upon your Apple iPod model, download "BQPiPodColor.zip", "BQPiPodNano.zip" or "BQPiPodVideo.zip" and decompress it with WinZip (PC) or StuffIt Expander (Mac);
In iTunes, with your iPod connected, select your iPod in the source list (lower right) then click the "Photos" tab;
Select the iPhoto album you just created (Mac) or select "Syncronize photos from..." and choose the BART System Map folder;
Click OK and the images will be transferred to your iPod.
To view the BART System Map, scroll to "Photos" then "Photo Library". For more information on transferring or viewing digital images on your iPod, check out your Apple iPod documentation.

1. Download StuffIt Expander to your computer and use it to open the downloaded file.
2. Follow the instructions in this article.
3. Double-click the iPod icon on the desktop and look for the Notes folder on the iPod; if it doesn't show up, start typing its name or scroll the window until it comes into view. When it is open, drag the contents of the folder created in step 1 to it.
4. Control-click the iPod in the Finder and choose Eject from the menu which appears.
More information is available in this article.

How can I get my Bluetooth to connect? I took it to the apple store in San Francisco and got horrible service and my phone still doesn't work in regards to Bluetooth and glitches ? Please help

I am very disappointed, I can not connect my Bluetooth to any device (ie. beatpill) and I took it to the store they reset my phone and told me everythibg should work and it turns out that nothing works. Not only the Bluetooth but my phone glitches while in use (ie. It freezes, it'll reset randomly, and the apps freeze or won't close, whrn texting it will close out my messages) things of that nature. Please help because thus far no one else has and it has become a problem for me to use my phone.

What does the beat pill manual say on how to pair to iphone?
We have no issue connecting an iphone 4S/5/5S or 6 to it.

San Francisco - LTE Network Outage

Once again LTE is either non existent or not even working in my location in San Francisco. I live near GG park 94117 (Cole / Page/ Waller/ Haight area and all day (sat. sept 28th), I've haven't been receiving any data and keep receiving "Network Communication issues". The 4G network in SF has been suffering for months. There's been multiple posts about this issue. I've performed multiple speed tests using 2 different devices in different parts of the city and get the same results. Can't even call support from the phone since the web-app pop ups when calling a verizon number and freezes since there's no data connection. Terrible. Why am I paying a premium for Verizon?

Verizon,
What are you doing about this??

Extremely slow LTE service in San Francisco

I have an iPhone 5 with Verizon postpaid contract plan [unfortunately].
The data speeds have been miserable last several months. Most of the time, my download is less than 1mbps and upload will be like 30kbps.
Right now, I am near the city hall area and my speeds are 0.03mbps down and 0.03mbps up. and yesterday was 0.04mpbs down and 0.10mbps up.
I went to the verizon store and it works fast inside since they have repeaters in the store. They said the phone appears to work fine and said it depends on the area..blah..blah..basically they just stopped short of admitting their network sucks in SF.
I'm extremely disappointed with the service considering how much they are charging me for it.
I think Verizon should give a discount or let us terminate the contract without the Early Termination Fee. I would be happy to go back to AT&T. They have much faster speeds here and lower fees.
Anyone else having such slow speeds in SF? Feel free to share it here..

I downloaded 4G LTE Switch (which was created because another one started having malware or requested a bunch of features, so this one, for now is pretty free of unnecessary items) from the Play store. Being able to force my phone to 3g is fantastic since I can actually use it again. The LTE works fine by PacBell Park, but while I have 4-5 bars of signal strength in places like the Castro (from Castro and Market down to Castro and 19th, Hartford over to whatever the street past Collingwood is) loads slowly, and by slow I mean 5 minutes between clicks on stuff and at worst times out entirely.
The other really bad area I've noticed is Church and Dorland Ave up to 20th and Church and over to Valencia.
I re-tested after downloading the app that allows me to force my Droid Maxx (Capable of XLTE so it's not that) and the things I was trying to do on LTE load near instantly on 3g since the data needs of the apps I'm using are miniscule. I've reported this to Verizon but of course never hear anything back from them. I'm just chiming in hoping that this and other forum posts get seen and have more and more people echo the ever increasing horror story of LTE on Verizon in San Francisco. I'm available for an upgrade, as much as I hate AT&T I might have to move over there myself.
I should mention I handle about 40 Verizon lines for my company and most of my users are reporting dead zones like this all over SF as well as all the people I play Ingress with (which is probably the best way to find data outages more than any other application on the phone right now due to being a GPS based video game where you have to go all over the place. Never thought I'd be using it as a tool for finding out where Verizon's data coverage is crap.)
If anyone wants me to post Speedtest pictures, I can make that happen, but I think if you're here in this thread you're in the same boat already.

LTE in San Francisco Financial District Dismal

I work in San Francisco downtown and I find myself often times turning off LTE because it is so unreliable or not even available. I've been using 3G because it is works better than LTE. Are there any plans to beef up the network here?

Did you get any response from Verizon on this issue?

Extremely slow LTE data in Castro, San Francisco

I have an iPhone 6 and LTE works fine most everywhere except on or around Castro Street in San Francisco. Most of the time, I can't even run a speed test since the free OOKLA app reports "Network Connectivity Issues." Other times, it's extremely high latency and low bandwidth. It's like this even though it shows 4 or 5 "dots" of LTE service. I also have a Retina Display iPad Mini with LTE service and see the same results, so I know it's not my iPhone.
When I switch off LTE and drop down to 3G on either device, I get decent data speeds (for 3G). I've also tried switching my iPhone LTE from "Voice & Data" to just "Data" with no change. I actually live a few blocks east of Castro where LTE service seems fine.
It's been like this for months. Is there some Verizon tower that serves that part of San Francisco that's either faulty or needs an upgrade?

Via a Facebook post to friends who also live in San Francisco, this problem is not unique to me. Others who live around or visit the Castro have this same problem. Some have left Verizon Wireless over it.

Poor network performance in busy areas of San Francisco

Verizon LTE coverage seems to be very poor in certain parts of San Francisco. The connection seems ok at 2 or 3 bars on 4g, but data connections are very slow. In particular along 18th street between Church and Castro, and Castro Street from Market to 20th, and finally the North East side of Corona Heights park. I have a Galaxy S5, I've tried resetting a few times. Also, I've been walking with others on verizon that have the same issue, as well as people on other carriers that didn't. Any hope of seeing better coverage in the near future in those areas? There are several people considering switching over this.

Post a URL so we can test the page.
My "guess" is that Flash is the video format and Snow Leopard (10.6) actually installs an "out of date" version (fixed with the 10.6.1 update).

How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously. I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long. I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore
