More New Problems

Ok, so im having the same problem as everyone else.
As soon as i connect my (20gb B&W) to my PC (winxp) windows immediately freezes.
So i spend all day trying to remedy this problem and halfway thru i realise i cannot even play the music on my ipod anymore when its not connected to my pc.
I follow these instructions:
1. Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPod.
2. If you have the iPodService running -- Right click task bar, select "Task Manager", click on Processes tab. If you find "iPodService.exe" in the list, select it and stop it.
3. Register Atl.dll manually. In Windows, click Start, and then click Run.
The Run dialog box appears. In the Open box, type "regsvr32 atl.dll". Hit return. Do you get a message? What does the message say?
4. Then in Windows, click Start and then click Run. Type in "cmd", hit return. In the dialog that comes up, at the prompt type in "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe /service"
5. Run iTunes and connect the iPod back up to it.
That fixed my windows connectivity problem, i was able to open up itunes and even put more music onto my ipod.
after i added more music, i was modifying some playlists and it froze up again, so i disconnect the ipod from my PC and try to see if any music will play. it doesnt.
I try out a diff pair of headpones without any luck, and then the ipod itself freezes.
is anyone else having any problems listening to music after the update?!
this is a huge problem, and i cant believe apple let this update go out like this...

Yup, dump Internet Explorer and forget it, except for those occasional situations where sites won't work with other browsers ( like BT's bill payment site !! ) Firefox is brilliant.

My IPhone 3G reception fixed, a new problem - AT&T *real* data speeds

I've read quite a few topics on this forum regarding the poor IPhone 3G reception, and unfortunately 99% of them are emotions, making it very laborious to distill useful info out of them.
Therefore I'd like to post my personal experience so far with IPhone 3g, listing more facts, than emotions. *I hope this will help some of you, and also hope that others will follow a more structured approach to reporting IPhone 3g problems*.
*IPhone 3G Model MB046LL, 2.0.1 firmware*
I got my IPhone 3g black 16gb version in NJ on August 2nd, model MB046LL. I work in IT, and I was overall very impressed with all of its features. However, the device had 2 major problems - 3g reception was highly unstable, and the actual 3g data speeds were far lower than advertised, 200kb on average for download and 30kb on average for upload.
I called AT&T, they said I was in the zone with "the best 3g coverage". I went to an AT&T store, and had my SIM card swapped from #3022 to a newer one, #4022. Swapping the SIM card drastically improved both 3g reception and the data speeds.
Unfortunately, I noticed that my IPhone 3g was picking up not as many bars of 3g as other Iphone 3g sitting next to me. The actual dbm numbers for 3g were also smaller. I would continue having dropped calls. I also noticed that my battery would fully recharge very fast (within 1.3 hours), and would fully discharge much faster than it was advertised. The GPS was acting weird, and the voice quality would sometimes be horrible even with 5 bars of 3g. There were more anomalies with that phone, e.g. download speed of 20-30kb with 5 bars of 3g, among other things. I would diligently take screenshots of every anomaly I saw, and store them on the phone. Restoring the phone to its factory state did not help.
After some time, I concluded there was still something wrong my IPhone, scheduled a Genius Bar appointment, and had it replaced with a brand new IPhone 3g. Having numerous screenshots of different problems minimized the explanations to a minimum.
*IPhone 3G Model MB048LL, 2.0.1 firmware*
I had a chance to compare the new model with the previous one I had - the build felt a bit different. The screen on this new model has a slightly better contrast, too (compared default factory settings).
*The new model, however, has GREAT 3g reception*. Where with the previous model I had 2-3 bars of 3g, I now have 5 bars. The dbm numbers are also somewhat improved. I had a couple of small issues with apps, etc., but I figured them out - found which apps were crashing the system, and deleted them, cleaned up the old backups and the crash diagnostic crash reports from the previous model, etc. Finally all other problems I was having with the previous model are now gone, too, except the quirkiness of the GPS, but I suspect it's the new firmware, and not much I can do about it. I have yet to see a dropped call on this new model.
However this new model identified a new problem, something that I'd suspected for some time: it appears that the problems people are having could indeed be the combination of IPhone hardware/software and AT&T network.
I noticed the data speeds vary significantly throughout the day, even when you sit at the same desk. I noticed the speed drops significantly approximately during lunch time to ~90-300kb for download, would be ok during the day (~200-350kb for download), and would be AWESOME after 10pm - ~0.9 - 1.4Mbs.
One can make a conclusion here that AT&T simply does not have enough network capacity to handle the peak data load, when many people connect on the network. It could be that IPhone's software does not manage very well under such conditions, but I'd would place more blame on AT&T in this case, considering how exceptionally well IPhone performs during other times.
I'd like to point out that although both Apple and AT&T reps were genuinely trying to be helpful, I could clearly see that not one person I talked to on both sides did not have a clear solution how to resolve the problems I was having. Basically, I had to figure out what the problem could be, and use the resources available to try to solve it - be that replacing the phone, restoring from backups, monitoring the crash logs for problematic apps, etc.

I would constructively suggest that you edit your post pretty quickly if you want to avoid a highly deserved, verbal battering from every unemotional, highly rational and intelligent poster on this forum who might take offence to your demeaning attitude. I think to assume that because people who have posted on here have posted at all because they are emotional basket-cases, or in some way out of control of their emotions merely because they have aired their disappointment/disgust/anger with their sub-functioning iPhones is pretty insulting and undeserved. Whatever YOU have written here, or have experienced elsewhere, still only has the value of 1 (ONE). It is a poll of 1. It is an opinion of 1. No more valid than that, no more authority than that.

Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

(Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
"The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
"The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
"The file could not be found."
But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
Thanks for reading.
Leonard B.

If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other. I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

Cannot open links/hyperlinks in my Ipad Air email. This is a new problem! How do I fix back to norm as it was new?

Just recently I tried to click on a link in my email on my Ipad Air, click on menu headings did not respond? This is a new problem! Stores send me emails on sales with menu headings to access "Clearances", "Men's Wares", etc. I click on them to see the offerings BUT THEY DO NOT RESPOND? Is there a setting turned on or off that prevents me accessing these email links? Appreciate help...Thanks, VFP

New problem with camera and imovie 08

i have two questions already posted about my camera not being found by imovie 08 except that it did it the first time and wouldn't any time after that.
well here's the new problem. as i'm sitting here trying to find some other post that could help me with my dilemna imovie opens and shows my impost screen but says "communication error". with my first joy and imovie working again came confusion about this error. the error makes it so i cannot import video because the next "error" that comes up says my camera is disconnected or off but even this is farther than i've gotten in weeks. i don't know what this error means and i still can't import video. anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Hi
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
What Camcorder ?
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

FireFox 3.6.13. BING Maps are being blocked. New Problem

I am using Windows XP Pro. FireFox 3.6.13.
I am having a new problem using Bing Maps.
When I first go to the Bing Maps page, I can see the map of the U.S. as usual. When I enter the name of a single specific location (e.g. a city name or a street address), the map images will Not display. The screen is blank where I should see a map; however, the information about the location appears on the left side of my screen just the same. I noticed that the image may appear for no more than one second and then disappear. Reloading the page gives me the same result.
However, this problem does Not occur if I start from the map image of the U.S. and just zoom in on an area. The map appears normally even when I continue to zoom.
Likewise, the problem does Not occur if I use Get Directions and enter a starting point and destination. The map images appear normal.
It is only a a problem when I do a search for a single specific location (e.g. city or street address).
This problem just started about two weeks ago and occurs only when using FireFox. It does Not happen when I use Internet Explorer.
Thank you.

See if anything here helps you. <br />

No More Resource problem

Hi:
I have a J2EE application using Connection Pool and JDBC.
I am using Weblogic 6.1 and JDK 1.3.1.
I am running into a 'No More Resource' problem. I did some debugging and think the cause is due to all my 80 database connections are used up so no new connection is available. But all the 80 connections shouldn't be used up because I did the statement.close() and rs.close() in the finally{} statement in all my DAO methods. But it seems like the connections are not released back to the free pool.
I thought I read something that I might need to do a conn.close() too in order for the connections to be returned to the pool and marked as available. Don't the statement.close() do that? Thanks for any help!
Stella

Any resolution on this? We're getting the same problem - using weblogic 6.1 and jdk131. We should never reach the max # of connections specified in the pool but periodically we do. Scraped through all the code and confirmed that for every connection we call ResultSet.close; Statement.close; Connection.Close in the finally block of the try/catch statements. But we still periodically reach the max. It's sporadic so we can't reproduce. Also, after we get the error and we check the weblogic console, we see the # of active connections drop back down below the max capacity (we have shrinking turned on). Any ideas?
thx.

No Internet available for TV or Blu Ray systems - new problem

I am unable to connect any TV or entertainment device to the Internet - Samsung TV, Samsung Blu Ray / Entertainment system, and Sony Blu Ray / Entertainment system. All 3 of these devices have a good connection to my Apple Airport AND my FIOS router, but nothing beyond that.
Called support and was able to convince the tech that I can connect all my PCs, Android, and Apple devices to the Internet via my FIOS connection, but I am unable to connect anything that is a TV or Blu Ray device. Connection to the Verizon provided router is good. He said there is an outage, but they are sending a new router to replace my outdated one.
This is a new problem, either happened Monday the 23rd or today. Sunday Feb 22 I was using my Samsung to watch Netflix all night.
Anyone else have this issue? New router will be in on Thursday, will set up and report back...
James
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I lost internet connection last night to Amazon prime and Netflix through my Sony Blueray player MODEL BD-570. Called Verizon tech support and with help we checked the router,cable box and internet connection. All equipment and services checked out ok except the Sony Blueray Player which could not connect to my paid services. It gave me the following message: "A network error has occured : REFERENCE ERROR CODE 303."
The next morning Googled: Sony error code 303. I learned many other people had the same issue more than once with Sony. They had lost connection service for as long as two weeks. Their calls to Sony were disconnected. ? Some people had the newer Sony BD-590 player so it's not only my model but problems at Sony.
I have a solution to the issue. I am going to buy a ROKU 3 and install it as my new streaming device.
The Sony BD 570 and other players are after all primarily a Disk Players with add on connections. A bit like a "swiss army Knife".
The ROKU is First a streaming device with extra options. Perhaps the inverse design.
I hope this helps you and saves you the lost time I have spent on this problem. Samsung has also had simular issues.
You may also have a failed internet connection board/section in your player and the disc player will function normally.

New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S. This a new problem. No problem in the past

Purchased new apps on ipad. Purchases did not synch with iphone 4. Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s. this is a new problem. I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

T3i 'movie recording has automatically stopped' and other ongoing and 'new' problems.

I purchased a T3i in March of 2011 and within a year of purchase we started experiencing problems.
Firstly - I purchased a three year Mack Warranty with this camera.
By June of 2012, the 'movie recording has automatically stopped' problem was no longer our only issue. That month we lost a whole production day of video. There was no explanation. It was on the same card that we had used before and we sued it after. It was not a particularly hot shoot because we were inside and out frequently. All footage from that day was gone from the camera. I ran a recovery on the files; they were present, but they were unrecoverable. When this happened again a couple of weeks later, we threw away the card that it happened on and on the third event, We were using speed 10 cards only.
On August 31st, I sent our T3i in to Mack who looked at it, couldn't duplicate the problem (movie recording auto stopped, much less data loss) and they got it ready to send back. I spoke with Mack support and got a supervisor to look more closely with a technician at the problem (I had sent a very detailed description of the problem) based on my description and a technician paying attention, they were able to duplicate the problem but not fix it. They sent it to Canon. Canon duplicated the problem and 'fixed' it. It was then sent back to Mack because they won't send directly to Mack's customer. Mack sent it back. I received it sometime after October 23rd. Note - that's no camera from 8/31 to 10/23 + a couple of days shipping. Nearly two solid months.
'Movie recording automatically stopped' would not go away but we were not losing footage. I called Canon. Canon support told me that it could be a card speed issue and if not that, maybe a bad make or brand. They said that this is a problem with DSLR's or maybe rebels specifically and we would need to learn to deal with it - something about data capture and data block sizes. The problem is that when you're shooting a scene, it's not always just 'incidental' if you have to start over because of an error, is it? And is this how Canon's products are to work, really?
In December, a white dot appeared on our sensor. We sent it in on Jan 10 and got it back sometime after Jan. 31st. Movie Recording Automatically Stopped is still occurring. It comes and goes. :Lately it's been infrequent.
A little while ago I pulled the camera out to take some snapshots of a system I'm working on. No matter which mode, autofocus on, with the flash up, attempting to get an autofocus (depressing snapshot button 1/2 way) I get this strange electric sound and a flash. Autofocus will not engage. Again - no matter which mode - no autofocus, a strange electric sound and a flash. Movie recording works fine. But that's not the only capability of this camera, is it?
Canon - it is apparent to me that we got a lemon. This will not work for my business any longer. Trying to get problems solved with this camera has been lengthy, disconcerting, painful. My disappointment has me throwing in the towel and asking - why the heck would I buy a Canon again much less the Mack warranty to go with it?
Please give me a solution beyond going for another two months without a camera that comes back and develops a new problem within one to two months’ time.

This problem has been posted online in many places & is a known and serious flaw with the T3i. How come Canon feigns ignorance & blames it on the card or file size? Why don't they post a positive solution or at least admit to the camera's shortcomings?
The Canon tech rep is being disingenuous! The problem happens on and off to a lot of people using the same card!!! It has happened to me as well with me as well. Sometimes it records to the max limit & sometimes it just stops! Doesn't Canon do research into serious errors with their cameras?
I'm sure they know of this problem & don't want to recall & fix their sh..ty camera.

New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.7

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have foud you having looking for an answer to a problem i have had. re: New problem connecting Canon 20D camera to OS 10.4.3 and the answers listed for it the problem has been occuring on my 3 Macs, all running OS 10.4.7 and firmware on the new 20D at 2.0.3. The camera would not connect to the Mac with any software.
Canon told me to make sure that the connection mode is set to normal (which didn't work) but today they tell me to change it to P2P and iPhoto recognised the camera and downloaded. Still can't use the canon software (camera not connected / recognised) but they have said that a senior technition will be contacting me so i will keep you up to date.
All the best.

I have an update from my telephone conversation earlier today:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your Canon product.
From the information supplied it would appear that the update in operating system is the cause of the problem. We can confirm that Canon are currently investigating compatibility with the recent update of the Apple Macintosh operating sytem OSX 10.4.7. If any software updates are neccessary they will become available from :

I'll update with more.....

P6N Diamond New Problem: Second HDD Randomly Starts/Stops Since recent Update

Howdy All,
Continuing problems with the P5N Diamond.
This one's new.
Previously I had the same problem as many others with the cold boot issue. Somehow, someway, it just stopped: cold boot or not, one day it just started booting fine....go figure.
However, I recently (about 3 weeks ago) did the MSI live update that included something or other pertaining to the E-SATA....support for it or something to that end. Although I don't use the E-SATA, I installed it thinking I might at some point and since installing it, I have discovered a new problem: my second drives (in RAID 0) just opens/closes randomly. It seems to mostly occur when operating demanding programs: gaming, watching a video, that sort of thing.
Everytime it does this, it takes me to desktop and asks me what program I want to use to open the program......which when I do, is nothing more than my second (D drive) HDDs in RAID 0. I then get the yellow pop up message in the bottom toolbar from Windows saying it's experienced a write failure problem. It hasn't done any damage that I can tell and I've lost nothing, but being taken to desktop perpetually is a major issue. This problem is driving me absolutely up the wall. No sooner than I start to do something and wham.....I'm at desktop being asked what program I want to use to open up the second HDDs. I've also tried just leaving it open but to no avail: it just randomly continues to open and close.
I have my O/S on the C drive and 2 more HDDs in RAID O for back up on ports 6 & 7. Since doing the MSI update that included the E-SATA whatever, this new problem almost prevents the computer from being usable: certainly nothing in gaming is possible along with anything that requires uninterruption.
Here's my system:
M/B: P6N Diamond
CPU: E6850
RAM: Corsair XMS PC-8500, 2 x 1 gig
HDD: 1- WD 150 Raptor
HDD: 2- WD 5000AAKS in Raid 0
Vid Card: EVGA 8800GTX
PSU: PC Power & Cooling 750 Silencer
ODD: Sony DRU 830A
FDD: Sony Floppy
Misc: Scythe fans x 5
O/S: XP Pro w/ SP2
Running BIOS 1.2
So, being fairly certain the MSI update created the problem, my question is, how do I undo the MSI's most recent update to remove it? When I go into Add/Remove Programs, nothing is listed there. I'm not sure this is the source of the problem but I do know I didn't have it beforehand.
I'd greatly appreciate any help with this....even any ideas. While I have some computer knowledge, I'm not as tech savvy as most here, but this problem is, apart from driving me up a wall, making the computer almost unusable. FYI, I haven't done a System Restore because I've installed several things since and don't want to lose them if I can isolate the problem, but I will if that's what you all recommend.
Again, sorry for what may be a noobish question, but I'm not sure where else to go. After dealing with MSI's tech support, I'd rather talk to a wall.
Thanks greatly.
Pepper1

Mark,
Forgive me for asking, but I am a bit confused. Is your "cold boot issue" now solved? If so, do you think that the new drives are the key?

Sorry for late post.
After setting up the HW RAID (2500YS) for booting the system still cold boots. strangely this time the reset (Ctrl+Alt+Del) doesn't seem to work. I must of did it two dozen times and it would never clear. I then just powered off after the other 2 drives on the nvidia SATA cleared and seen the HD LED light up and stay on for a few seconds(seems stuck on the 4723 checks of the drive) and then powered down and powered right back up with no cold boot issue. It has worked this way every time for the last week or so and I tested it like 20 or so times(3-4 times a day). These drives are listed as being compatible after the firmware update (and I did that already) so I guess it is either the MB BIOS needs updating or it's the way the nvidia chipset runs this setup is wacky. This is assuming the 4723 HD compatibility list is correct.
here's a summary of the drives so far.
36GB Raptors (old revision) - can take forever to boot properly and corrupted my disk in 3 days of testing (scrambled my directory structure)
105GB Raptors - Just reset(Ctrl+Alt+Del) 1-4 times after the HD LED goes solid for a few seconds. worked for two months no errors.
250GB Caviar RE(2500YS) - have to power off (power button) when HD LED goes solid. so far no problems for a week.
80 GB SATA II Hitachi Deskstar (HDS728080PLA380 - May 2005) - same as 150 GB Raptors, just a reset or four, only did a days worth of testing with no errors.
well, I was hoping for those 2500YS to work properly. Now it makes it really hard to track the problems with so many different errors and 3 different places it can go wrong 4723/nvidia/msi/HD Manufacturer. wait, that's 4. Oh boy!
Hopefully this gets resolved soon. I've already had to move this MB to my secondary system, and for other reasons than this. I didn't mind hitting the reset button to get this to run. I get the feeling that MSI has abandoned this board on us. with the new P7N being released it will be even harder to get anyone to mess with this thing.

New Year, new problems

Well, not really new problems - more like same old. So after months of fighting to get my speed back up and then begrudgingly accepting around 40Mb/s for a while (42 on a good day) - for the past few weeks, I've been back down to 30Mb.
As if going from 50+ to 20 then slowly back up to 40 (and being told it won't get better than that...) was not reasonable enough on my part - this is getting painful now. How much of my contract do I have to spend on lower speeds and fighting to getsome thing slightly better?
BT dealt with my issues and got the speed increased - it was not what I expected or wanted, but it was better. This has only lasted a few weeks and now it looks like I will have to go through more pain for goodness knows how long. It seems a shame that they allow this poor level of service - after months of pain, something was done and perhaps I felt less strongly about jumping ship to a more reliable provider, but if I just go through a few cycles of this pain, my contract will be up and I think I will be once bitten, twice shy...
Crappy New Year!

First, this is why BT advertise Infinity as an Upto product.
Second, if there are problems with your line, then your speed may be reduced until your problem is fixed and then speed may return, but as sometimes physical cable is replaced to solve the problems with the line it is not always possible to get your orginal speed back.
