New customer, v.low speeds. faster to connect to m...

Hi all.
As mentioned we are new customers to BT.
We only have one telephone socket in the house (the master). Which is connected direct to the incoming phone line.
We don't have a house phone.
The HomeHub 4 is connected into the test socket.
The hubs downspeed is 2mb and i am receiving 1.8mb over wireless (i know wireless is slower than wired).
If i connect to my nextdoor neighbours BtFon i can get about 3.6. We are far away from the exchange but is there anything i can do? We are unable to use iPlayer at such bad speeds. We keep checking when BT infinity is going to arrive but for the past 4 months it just says end of June.... end of July.... end of August.... end of Sept etc.
Any help is very very much appreciated.

  • As Requested New Thread DSL low speeds and drop outs ref: Anthorny Verizon.

    Please see post by Jerrold concerning the form for information requested, I have never been able to fill this out. Note also I had to sign in three times just to access your private letter to me today.
    Here is a summary of problem:
    When my line was first installed line speed was always between 9 to 12 Mps, which is fine for a 15 Mps line, sometimes would even go higher, so line was ok.
    In October 2012 my line speed dropped to about 5 to 7 Mps, I contacted support and repairs were attemped, but did not correct the problem in fact problem became worst.  My line speed dropped to about 2 to 3 Mps.
    Now from October to end of November, all repairs did not correct problem.  I was told by chat tech support that the problem was being worked on and there was an open ticket.
    In December my line speed returned to normal speed was between 9 to about 13 Mps.  No one had contacted me about this so I again contacted chat tech support who said my line had been fixed and there were no open tickets so have a nice day.  I accepted this at face value and accepted that my line was now ok.
    In January 2013, My line speed dropped again to 2 to 3 Mps.  I contacted chat tech support who tested line and put in a repair request.  No one had responded back to me and a week later my line started to drop in and out losing the connection completely.  I again contacted tech support who told me they had no open tickets on my account, they tested line and while we were talking on voice connection my phone started to have heavy static, both my DSL and Phone dropped out at that point.  Tech support called me back and said he was putting a repair request and that my line had problems. That night Tuesday January 29 my Phone and DSL both died, no dial tone on phone and DSL showed only power light on.  Contacted tech support by a friends cell phone and informed them of this, was told ok it would be fixed by open ticket for next day.
    Repair was to be made on Wednesday January 30, no one showed up, called tech support and told repair would be made on Thursday.  Thursday late repair person showed up around 4:30 or 5:00pm, landlord gave access to building.  I did not know they were here at all, when he told me( my landlord) I tested my DSL and found it running at 1.7 Mps or below that.  When I attempted to call tech support found my phone was still dead, no dial tone at all.  Contacted chat tech support who told me ticket was still open and would be fixed by Friday, or Monday.
    On Monday, phone still dead, DSL running at 1.7 Mps contacted chat support who had me take a phone to the junction box outside of building, plugged in two phones to this no dial tone at junction box (both phones work ok checked using a neighbors phone jack)  should note that on the outside of building there are two junction boxes, but one has lock on it so could not use that one.  Anyway told that DSL could not be fixed until phone is repaired.  Tried contacting phone repair and all I get is auto wait then line drops using a neighbors phone and pay phone my is dead.
    Tuesday again contacted chat support now told to bad, until phone is fixed cannot help me ( was'nt that suppose to be done in first repair, fix phone and DSL given both were reported dead).
    So why am I upset well look at history I now sit with No Phone service, DSL running way below what I pay for and a tech support who has said to bad not our problem.  I also do not want to hear that my line does not and cannot support the speed I pay for ( it has shown to support that speed at beginning of install up to October and again in December).
    Well anyway your letter did not say where to start new thread should I do that here, or in open forum?
    Oh, auto phone repair has given me a date for phone service as this Friday, I hope that at least gets done I cannot contact them any other way it seems.
    You may also ref: my thread on ping rates over 600 on long distants calls for any other history, but as per your request here is new thread.  Please note as of today I have No Phone so can only be contacted by email or here.  Untill phone is repaired that's all there is.

  • Low speed via cable connection

    So, I have this Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router (http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/) and I can't get the advertised speed. My internet connection speed is 1Gb/s, but I can't get it from this router (via cable or wireless connection). I did >100 speed tests on http://www.speedtest.net/ with the router and the maximum speed was 217Mb/s. The maximum speed when I've connected my iMac directly to my ISP's internet cable was 926Mb/s.
    Does anybody have the same problem?
    I'd like to note that all cables for the router's clients and WAN are CAT 5e cables.

    WAN to LAN throughput when the AirPort Extreme ac is set up in router mode is going to be in the range of 300-350 Mbps on a very good day. You might want review the test results below:
    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/router/bar/74-wan-to-lan
    What speed do you see if you leave the AirPort Extreme connected to the Internet and then connect your Mac to one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme?
    It won't do much good to test wireless until you can get the WAN to LAN speed over Ethernet up to the 350 Mbps range.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Benjamin

  • Internet connecting at much lower speed lately

    I have HSI Enhanced and have had it for 10 months at this location and for a number of years at my previous location. Last October I was connecting at 3360 / 832 kbps. After some months it went down to  around 2800 / 832 kpbs. I wasn't crazy about speeds getting lower as time went on rather than the connection being improved, but it was pretty much free of disconnects and reliable so I was happy with it.
    In the past month or so I had noise on my voice line which Verizon fixed, but my connection is now 1792 / 448 Kbps all the time, that is a drop I will not accept if this is the way it is going to be from now on. Also there is a lot of losing the connection, not to the DSL, that light stays on but the internet light goes off. I went through the usual channels online chat, telephone support to wherever that goes. I'm done with all that, that's good for people with trouble using their modem, etc. or can't connect it but not what I am looking for.
    Finally they sent out a tech who was a nice enough person, what he did was call a central office and after them first claiming the lower speed was the right speed they put the connection back in the area of 3360/832. Then they said it will probably adjust itself to down around 2800 down, which it what I had before so I was OK with it. After several days with a number of disconnects (they don't last too long but very annoying) I am back to 1792 / 448.
    I am using the same modem - Actiontec GT704WGB
    I don't need a tech call here in the house again, nothing has changed in here since I moved in months ago. They can check the outside signal without me waiting around for them. They don't have to stand in here to call an office on their tablet.
    I need to hear from Verizon personnel that can tell me LOCAL information about why my connection speed has tanked and why there are dropouts now. And most importantly, why it can't be the same as it was for all those months. As I said, I was happy with that - especially when it was 3360 / 832 kbps.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When Verizon turns your speed back up, they have to disable the optimization system they use on the lines to maintain your speed, since it sounds like that is just turning your speed back down after a few days. Make them fix it back again.
    For future note, if you do have problems with your DSL and you're also having audio quality issues with your phone, call Voice Repair, and leave DSL support out of the mix. DSL support usually dials back the speed for a line issue from what I've seen as a first try basis. If you do have noise that disappears when the DSL modem is off, then that could be from other things which DSL support OR phone support will be needed for.
    Ex: Two years ago I had a problem with my Frontier DSL line having a ton of static on the line. The DSL modem was not synchronizing, however the noise stopped when I shut off the modem. It turns out, the night before lightning struck a tree outside of my home, and caused the DSL modem which was several years old to fry. The modem was still powering up, but the chip responsible for the DSL connection itself was blown. A new modem from Frontier via DSL Support fixed the DSL connection AND the static.
    Ex2: At a local business with Verizon DSL, they hear static on their line from time to time, but only while the DSL is active. The problem was not with the DSL itself or any filters, but as the static got worse it began to show up without the DSL being connected. Voice repair was dispatched instead of calling DSL Support, and resolved the problem by running new cable between the building and the Verizon copper trunk. In addition, they found and corrected some corroding splices.

  • 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.

  • Low Speed Connection

    Hello all,
    Do some of you have idea of the impact to unset low speed connection option in saplogon.ini file ?
    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 ?
    Any suggestion ?

  • Good connection but low speed with time capsule

    Currently I am having a very good wireless connection, but the speed of the internet is only high when the time capsule is placed close to my i-Mac.
    How to increse the speed of my connection?
    Having the time capsule close by, let's say around 5 meters, the connection speed is 45 Mbts but placing the time capsule in another room, let's say 10 meters the connection is good but the speed is very low, 5 Mbts.
    Is there any antenna which I could use?

    I understand the issue with noise on the g & b, but why would my hard wire Ethernet feed be effected by the radio mode?
    Everything is on the same "connection" to the Internet. So, if you have a wireless problem, it can and most certainly will affect an ethernet connection to the Internet since everything passes through the WAN port on the Time Capsule.

  • Low Speed connection on SAPGUI setting

    Hi,
    I need to know if I should set the Low Speed connection on SAPGUI setting.
    I've check thru ST06->Detail Analysis Menu-> LAN Check By Ping. Some of the average ping for my user in Asia has ping average of 300-350 ms. People in Europe has the average of 70-80ms.
    1. Should I ask the user in Asia to set the Low Speed connection?
    2. What is the treshold here? When exactly do you need to set this option? Is there any documentation about this?
    /Regards,
    Eida

  • 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 .

  • Two new MIFIs, radically different speeds

    I have two Verizon Jetpack MIFIs, both about two months old and both running on 3G through a Wilson booster in my home.  Each MIFI is on a separate contract with Verizon.  The speed test for one MIFI is 2.62Mbps up, .87Mbps down. The other is .12 up, and .18 down when I can get the full test to run because of its slowness.  The test software says that the faster MIFI is using a Towerstream server in Seattle, the other MIFI is connecting through a Wichita server by KS Fibernet.  I live near Spokane, Washington, which is about 200 miles from Seattle and a LONG way from Wichita.
    Question: why would one MIFI be providing adequate speeds, while the other is essentially useless? 

    AFter some telephone conversation and behind-the scenes troubleshooting
    with Verizon experts, Verizon sent me a replacement MIFI and sim
    card.  After swapping parts around between my MIFI and the
    replacement unit, it because obvious that the replacement sim card was
    dead on arrival, and installing my sim card in the replacement MIFI didn't
    make any difference in the performance of the MIFI. 
    I'll
    be returning the replacement MIFI and sim card to Verizon.  On to
    plan C.
