No speed increase after 24/7 connection

A couple of weeks ago I replaced my broken HomeHub with a new router on an extension cable (oops), all was fine for a couple of days with the usual connection speed of 1890kbps, it was then that the new router decided it was going to reset several times in one day, dropping the speed down to roughly 900kbs. Router was condemned back to where it came, to be replaced by my old (working) HH 1.5, minus the extension cable.
Having followed a few of the messages posted on here with similar issues I tried to follow the advice given by users.
However even after 7 solid days of connection (reported by HH anyway) I have not seen my speed return.
Line Attenuation does look to be the same as it did when I last saw it, which I think is the max that most routers report, as my name suggests, I am a long way from the exchange, but the current speed is hard to live with..
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks,
Jason.

as you have a good stable connection but a high noise margin I suggest you contact the mods and ask to get your noise margin reset to 6db which should increase your connection to nearer what you are looking for
contact mods
can take up to 3/5 working days for mods to contact you
it is a filtered faceplate and you need to leave router connected 24/7 with no resets until you hear from the mods
many people with longlonglines use the business hub 2700/2701hgv which has a great reputation on long lines

Satellite R830-1GZ - CPU usage high ( 25%) and fan speed increase after wakeup

Hello all
The CPU usage of my laptop shoots up to 25% (and beyond) and the fan speed increases dramatically after waking up, but only when I'm using an external mouse (Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) - disconnecting the mouse once this has happened does not solve the problem, so I'm always forced to restart my computer if I have let it go to sleep with the mouse connected.
I've noticed that when this happens System Interrupts - Deferred Procedure Calls and Interrupt Service Routines appears in the Resource monitor>CPU>Processes, and seems to explain the increase in CPU usage.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite R830-1GZ with Windows 7 (64 bit). This problem does not happen when I use the same mouse with another laptop (Dell with Windows XP).
Thank you very much.
CM

Thank you for your reply.
I was using the mouse without installing the software that came with it (IntelliPoint), which seems to have been necessary to obtain the latest driver. So I've installed the latest driver now, but... I've still come across the same high CPU usage problem after wakeup.
If your suspicion is correct, should disconnecting the mouse before putting the computer to sleep (hopefully allowing the process that controls the mouse to close properly) stop this problem from occurring when it wakes up?
Could this problem also occur due to an external keyboard? I'm pretty sure it's the mouse (given my experience of using only the external mouse and only the external keyboard) and my understanding is that keyboards don't require special drivers (at least the A4Tech one I have claims it doesn't)... just trying to exclude all possibilities.
Thanks again for your help.

FileSharing Transfer Speed Drops after sharing internet connection

Hi Folks
Sometimes, when I copy files via FileSharing,
the speed drops exactly to the max. upload speed my internet connection has.
= instead of 12 MB/s I got 600 ~700 KB/s.
I needed a bit of work to see this connection.
But after a while, it changes back to normal.
However, I did share the ethernet-internet-connection from one machine via WiFi (to surf with an iPod Touch).
Could that initiate this problem? I believe so.
Internet-Provider is cablecom, switzerland, zurich.
I use a Zyxel Ethernet Switch to connect two macs with the cablecom-modem (and together).
So Idetached the cablecom-modem from the ZyXel Switch and restarted both machines.
Now, the copy-action via filesharing has the expected full speed. (Just no internet, of course).
After that I connected the Cablecom-Modem again,
restarted (PowerOff/On) the ZyXel Switch,
and tried the same again:
Now the speed is slow.
It seems that I really should NOT share the Ethernet Internet Connection with WiFi
Won't do that anymore because I often copy files from one machine to the other and this slow transfer speed kills me.
Why is that affecting the connection between two local machines?
How can I reset this to "normal".
I hope there is a way to do it in OS X instead of waiting until it sets itself to "normal" from cablecom's side.
[ -Despite the fact that I should use a wireless router- ]
Is there any chance that this is an issue that OS X could resolve?
Best would probably be: the local connection between two machines should not be affected by the provider in any circumstances.
BTW: The cablecom-modem gives - via a ZyXel Switch - both computers unique IP's and they are reachable/visible from the internet.

If my English is bad
please forgive me

I am doing the same thing (have tried it occasionally over the past 6 months or so and cannot install Arch because of it)...sad panda. The downloads start fast (up to 5MB/s), then when it gets to 49% it slows all the way down until it gives up and moves to the next mirror, repeating and repeating and repeating until finally it shows:
core is up to date
error: failed to update extra (download library error)
error: failed to update community (download library error)
:: There are 51 members in group base
:: Repository core
Enter a selection (default=all): error: failed to prepare transaction (could not find database)
I've tried commenting out the XferCommand and using wget but that fails even worse.
Thank you for posting this, I am glad I am not the only one experienceing this. I was about to give up searching and post too.

IMac fan speed increased after upgrading hdd.

iMac mid 2010 i3, I replaced stock hdd to a two terabyte western digital caviar green. After replacing the fan speed rapidly increased. I installed smc and still no resolution.

FIXED THE ISSUE.... This took a little time, but it was a simple fix. The LCD sensor that you have to disconnect from before removing the LCD was the issue. After receiving HIGH CPU fan speeds, I began looking at possible issues. First, I had [http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12381/temperature-monitor|Temperature Monitor] Installed. I had all my sensors including the ambient air sensor reading. After I upgraded my HD to a SSD I started getting HIGH CPU fan speeds, but the HD and DVD fan speeds were fine. I looked at my Temperature Monitor and I noticed i had several Temperature Monitors not reading including the ambient Air Temperature (bare with me, these are steps to troubleshoot). After reseting the SMC and PRAM, still nothing. I shut down and disassembled my IMAC again. This time after i removed the LCD, I looked at the LCD cable that you must disconnect when removing the LCD and BAM, I saw the issue. The wires that connect to the Motherboard from the LCD Sensor, inherently like to lay across the screw hole the Bezel attaches to. I have a couple of pinched marked that exposed the wires and when I tighten the bezel down, it shorted the wires and caused the issue. I cut small pieces of electrical tape and covered the bare spots. When I reassembled the IMAC, i made sure that all my BEZEL screw holes were completely clear of any wires. Once back together, I plugged in the IMAC, waited 5 Seconds and turned it on. All is well. I feel this a majority of everyones issues when they take apart their IMACS and put them back together. THe Fan Control SOftware is good, but this was my solution that worked. Hope this helps.

Thank you Kglad for your quick response.
one thing that not happen
makegd is function for bonus golden fruit it will come every 3 min
it comes after 3 min but it's not single fruit that function work like other fruits.
function makegd() {
          if (seconds>0) {
                    clearInterval(rangdID);
                    rangdID = setInterval(makegd, ran);
                    gd = _root.attachMovie('golden', 'golden'+depth, depth++);
                    goldenBalls.push(gd);
                    //trace(allBalls);
                    gd._x = Math.random()*500;
                    gd._y = -100;

Clips look like speed increased after rendering?

Weird! I have a few different 30 minute training videos, and after applying the 3-way color corrector I rendered. But, now when I watch they look like the speed of the footage has been increased somehow??
The footage I have was shot in 1080p 30fps. I dumbly began editing in h.264 so that's what it is, and there are some alpha channel simple animations done in Motion as overlays to the footage. I believe the Motion settings are Broadcast HD 1080i60.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

editing in h264 in fcp is problematic at best. Although it may work, eventually you'll regret it. I'd seriously advise converting all your footage to prores using compressor. You can reconnect to all your existing work by doing a MM to the correct format with media offline. If you make sure that your converted files have the same file names, reconnecting should be as simple as pointing to the correct folder. I'd do a test on one file to make sure the workflow is correct.

Core speed increase after BIOS update

Hi everybody! My notebook is a Compaq Presario V5025EA with Mobile AMD Sempron 3300+ (Albany) and 2x256 DIMM banks. Since I recently updated the BIOS from version F.41 to version F.54, I'm having some troubles. The core-temperature is now about 88°C, the fan became very noisy and often the notebook shuts down automatically (I think cause the too high temperature). Trying to understand the cause of that, I noticed these differences in the CPUID report, before and after the BIOS update: - With BIOS F.41
Core Speed: 796.0 MHz
Multiplier x FSB: 4.0 x 199.0 MHz
Stock frequency: 2000 MHz - With BIOS F.54
Core Speed: 1989.9 MHz
Multiplier x FSB: 10.0 x 199.0 MHz
Stock frequency: 2000 MHz
Is this core speed change normal? Is it the cause of the high temperature? What can I do to mantain it in accettable ranges? I tried to downgrade till to BIOS F.41 A (the F.41 isn't available on this site), but nothing changed. In the BIOS there aren't unfortunately any options to customize the CPU speed.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Your laptop uses the original AMD64 system which was the first to have an integrated memory controller called the hypertransport bus. Strictly speaking there is not a front side bus as such. Nothing has changed in your system, the new BIOS is reporting the situation more accurately. On AMD laptops there are always heat issues. The new BIOS may have changed the way the fan works or it may just be time to go in there and clean out around the heatsink and fan and apply new thermal compound. I see a lot of laptops and older AMD models always run hot. Even new ones run hotter than their Intel cohorts. You do not see as many older AMD laptops; they generally die before they get old (to paraphrase The Who). You need to keep the fan vents elevated and perhaps consider a notebook cooler and also do the clean-out and new thermal compound thing as suggested above. Also be sure AMD Cool 'n Quiet is installed and enabled. Open the system applet (I assume you use Windows XP) and see the noted clock speed. You should be showing about an 800 mhz clock speed most of the time rather than the full 2000 mhz. This will tell you the processor is properly downclocking when it is not under load. Also check the properties of the processor driver in the Device Manager. It should show up as amdk7.sys and not just processor.sys. This will tell you the proper processor driver is installed.

Measure speed increase after coldfusion caching

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting?

Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?

One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

IPA size increasing after itunes connect upload

Hello,
it seems that the IPA size increases after upload to the AppStore: i have an 8Mo IPA (where near 80% is Air runtime), when it's uploaded to the AppStore i get a 21Mo file to download.

The IPA file you've made is really a zip file. The one from the app store is more of a package. If you rename your IPA to end as .zip, and uncompress that, what is the size of the app file that is inside the Payload folder? That's roughly the size the app store IPA will be.

SNR Increase after power cut

Hi
We incurred a power cut early on Monday morning after the overnight gales and rain on Sunday.
When the router restared after the power came back on my connection speed had dropped from 4mb to 2.5mb and my download SNR ratio had increased from around 6db to 12 to 13db. Just wondered if this is a norman occurance after a power cut and is my SNR going to return to around 6db on its own (and therfore my connection speed increase) or do I need to contact BT to have it reset?
The router stats from today are below.

Hi NeilO
I used the link to 'contact the Mods' on Monday dinnertime and received an automated reply saying I would be contacted in 24 to 48 hours. As of now I am still waiting for a reply and as you see below, am still stuck on a downstream SNR of 12.6db which has reduced my connection speed by nearly half. It has been around this mark now since 6th Oct 14.
Can you give my any indication on how my case is progressing as I also cannot connect to Sky's On Demand service wirelessly and don't want to mess around with my router until my speed increases.

Increased download speed = increased ping

Hi,
After some wrestling of biblical proportions with BT Technical and having had 5 engineers out since January a faulty section of cable was replaced last week. This has led to three changes in our broadband service, two good, one very bad.
1. The download speed increased from around 0.98 mb/s to 2.10 mb/s - Great.
2. Incoming phone calls no longer caused the broadband connection to reset - Great.
3. The ping has increased from a steady 48ms to 96ms - Bad.
For info I have a Home Hub 3 with Option 3 package and the above numbers came from www.speedtest.net. This issue is of particular annoyance with XBox-Live which is now virtually unusable following the increase in ping. The XBox is set up for port forwarding and in the DMZ and is connected to the hub through an official wireless adaptor.
Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

I see you are still online while you are waiting try the command prompt ping-The easiest way to check ping is to open the Command Prompt on the PC and type "ping (ip Address or Website)". Example:
ping www.google.com
I take it your PC is wired!

Airport Extreme Upgrade Speed Increase???

1) We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
2) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
Sorry these are such basic questions that likely reflect my poor understanding of this technology. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Last question first.
3) As part of this query, we have a Comcast modem that feeds straight into our current old Airport Extreme. To get any of the hoped for speed increases, would we have to do anything with this Comcast/Xfinity cable modem?
The Internet connection speed on your network will not improve. That speed is limited by your modem and the plan that you have with your provider.
Right now, the current AirPort Extreme that you have is capable of far greater speeds than your service provider can ever hope to deliver, so a new AirPort Extreme will not provide any improvement in terms of Internet performance.
) How much speed will we gain if we upgrade to the newest version of the Airport Extreme which offers next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology (assuming that all of the portable devices in the house are upgraded as well to the newest technology)?
The wireless speed capability will double to triple over what you have now, but these higher speeds will only be realized when you have both an 802.11ac router and 802.11ac capable devices.
There are no 802.11ac capable iPhones or iPads, so you will pick up faster speeds on a new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac, etc.
The faster speeds will only help you if you are copying data from one computer to another or making backups of one device to another.
As mentioned previously, your Internet connection speeds will remain the same that they are now.
We currently have an Airport Extreme version 7.6.4 in our home. What version of wireless is this running? How do we determine this?
Please look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme to locate the model number. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143......A1301.....A1354.....A1408.
Post back with the model number, and we will tell you a bit more about the product.

Kernel patch for more CPU families offers measurable speed increases

I wanted to show folks a pretty nice patch that allows one more options when compiling a kernel for CPU families. Complete list included at the bottom of this post. I tested it using three different x86_64 machines running a generic x86-64 kernel and an otherwise identical kernel running with the optimized gcc options.
Conclusion: There are small but real speed increases using a make endpoint to building with this patch.
Details:
1) Three test machines: Intel Xeon X3360, Intel i7-2620M, Intel Core i7-3660K.
2) All ran the make benchmark (linked below) 35 times while booted into a 'generic' kernel. Then all ran the same make benchmark 35 times after booting into an optimized kernel. Below are the optimizations chosen for each machine.
2a) X3360 = core2
2b) i7-2620M = corei7-avx
2c) i7-3660K = core-avx-i
3) Analyzed resulting distributions for statistical significance via ANOVA plots that clearly show statistically significant albeit small differences.
Discussion
1) All the assumptions for ANOVA are met:
*Data are normally distributed as show in the normal quantile plots.
*The population variances are fairly equal (Levene and Barlett tests).
2) The ANOVA plots clearly show significance.
*Pair-wise analysis by Tukey-Kramer shows significance at the 0.05 level for all CPUs compared.
Below are the differences in median values:
core2 +87.5 ms
corei7-avx +79.7 ms
core-avx-i +257.2 ms

For situations in between, say launching a program, or moving data, whatever, an intermediate frequency would be fine. What do you hope to achieve with a more refined list of available frequencies?
I agree, your CPU, in practice, is really either idle or loaded.
In my case (AMD 965, 4 freq steps) the processor is at lowest freq for about 90 - 95% of a time, and at highest for 5 - 10%. The 2 intermediate are used for about 0.1% of a time.
My guess would be that intermediate ones are only used for smooth transition from lowest to highest. So they really are hardware dependent...

Will I get a speed increase with Infinity?

I currently have the standard broadband unlimited and get about 3-4MB download speed.
Is upgrading to infinity likely to give me any speed increases?

Hi canhefixit,
With ADSL (ADSLMax, ADSL2/2+) broadband the BB signals run from your local exchange to your property all the way via a copper phone line. This is why the further away you live from your local exchange the slower your broadband will be.
BT Infinity is BT Retail's brandname for fibre broadband.
Depending on what Openreach fibre infrastructure has been rolled out in your area will depend on what speeds you are likely to get.
The main fibre technology that is being rolled out around the UK is FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) fibre technology.
FTTC allows currently allows speed of upto 80mbps dependent on what Infinity package you are on and how far away you live from the FTTC Dslam cabinet.
FTTC works by installing a Dslam cabinet that is linked to your existing pcp. The new FTTC cabinet is connected to the local exchange via a fibre cable and then your property is connected to the cabinets via the existing copper phone line.
So for FTTC the external layout would be (simplified)
Local exchange >> Fibre Optic Cable >> FTTC Dslam Cabinet and existing PCP >> Existing Copper phone line >> Property
For FTTC the speed is dependent on how long your copper phone line is from your property to the cabinet. The further away you are from the cabinet the slower the FTTC broadband will be. Line quality also play a part.
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) fibre broadband technology has also been rolled out in certain areas in the UK. This allows speed of upto 330mbps and requires a Fibre Optic cable to run all the way from a FTTP enabled exchange to your property.
To find out what Fibre broadband speed you maybe able to get enter your BT landline number into http://dslchecker.bt.com/adsl
In the grid there will be WBC FTTC ( if available to your property) and will be given an estimated speed.
It will also tell you what exchange you are connected to and what pcp (cabinet) you are on.
If you don't have a BT recognised phone line then you can try using your address by going to http://dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/ADSLChecker.AddressOutput It won't be as accurate as using the phone number but should be accurate enough.
Hope that helps and makes sense.
Cheers
