Paying for 1.1-3 mbps...getting .90

Figured I'd try this forum before calling support. I'm signed up for the Enhanced DSL, but speed tests routinly come up around .90 mbps (download) and less than .3 (upload).
What can I do to improve the speed? I'd at least like to get what I'm paying for. FIOS is not available in my area.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I have the D Link DSL 2750b modem, connected to the pc by ethernet cable

I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

I lost itunes on my computer and lost downloaded content that I payed for. How do I get it back?

When you say that you lost iTunes do you just mean the program or your content ? Have you checked to see if the content is still on your computer but not in iTunes ?
If not then do you not have a backup of your purchases on, for example, external drives or CDs or DVDs ? If you have then you can copy that onto your computer and add it back into iTunes. If you havn't then if they are still available in the iTunes store (and content is occasionally removed so you should make/maintain your own backups and not rely on re-downloading) and if you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them, then you should be able to re-download apps and ibooks, and if you are in the US music and TV shows, for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you are not in the US and you want to re-download music or tv shows then you can try contacting Apple and asking for a re-download, but they are under no obligation to let you : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/

Paying for Extreme HD but not getting additonal HD channels

My bill says I'm paying for FiOS TV Premier, which is the same price as the FiOS TV Extreme HD mentioned in the rates and packages document http://promo.verizon.com/welcome/pdfs/rates_and_packages_c8.pdf. Why is it for the two years I've had Verizon FIOS I've never been able to tune into for example FX HD, Disney HD, We HD, MTV HD? I get the basic HD (ABC, NBC etc) but not the extra ones I've apparently been paying for.
By my calculation you owe me 2 free months of service (Internet and TV bill with the 2 DVR rentals) and I'd like to get the channels the I'm paying for. You've been robbing me for 2 years.

keep in mind that there is an extreme 2009 and an extreme 2010. extreme hd 2009 is labeled as simply 'extreme hd'
extreme 2010 actually has the year and is labeled as 'extreme hd 2010'
pull up the compare list and see if the channels you are missing coincide with the subtle difference. if it does then call the verizon office @ 888 553 1555 or open a chat and ask to rebundle your services with the extreme 2010 so that you can get the channels on the new package.
I'm providing the california link here that shows the differences ---- click here
Go to www.verizon.com/fiostvchannels to put in your zipcode (the national line up is identical so no real need to put your zip code from what i understand) but if you want to double check with your zip then you can go there.
just remember to click on the grey button that says "compare my channels"

Paying for BT Infinity but still getting ADSL conn...

Since I've upgraded to BT Infinity from Total Broadband, there has been no change in connection or download speeds (even when ethernet cable is plugged in) - now I know why. I am clearly not connected to BT Infinity. I'll tell you how I know. Today my internet went down. I clicked on BT Desktop Help who said I wasn't connected and sent me to the BT Home Hub Manager page:
http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9142&active_page_str=page_interception&req_mode=0&mimic_...
Just in case link doesn't work, the basic 'wordage' is below:
Can’t connect to Broadband
ADSL or Ethernet
To help us diagnose the problem please select the
type of Broadband connection you have.
              ----- ADSL connection
                    "ADSL Connection"
              ----- BT Infinity Connection
                    "I connect to Openreach
                    equipment and it plugs
                    into the BT Infinity port
                    on my BT Home Hub."
Naturally, I clicked on 'BT Infinity Connection'. I tried several times as it was 'trying to connect'. I waited up to half an hour each time to no avail. NB - I was told 'this will take a few minutes' each time.
Just out of curiousity, I clicked on 'ADSL connection' --- it connected to the internet straight away!
I conclude that I am NOT connected to "Openreach equipment that plugs into the BT Infinity port on my BT Home Hub". (BT Home Hub 3 that is!).
It looks like I haven't been upgraded at all.
I'm paying for BT Infinity, so why am I not getting it??

Sorry, just to clarify you have the white modem from Dave's picture?
But the Red cable is going to the ADSL port on the HomeHub 3 and not the Infinity port? If so try putting it into the Infinity port and see if you can connect (I'm guessing it will be no). If that doesn't work just switch it back then contact the moderators.
You can contact the moderators here, they will take personal ownership over your case until resolved.
They normally respond within 3 working days.

Will Apple make me pay for Pages 3 just to get the bugs out of 2?

I'm another Pages 1 owner who is not happy with Apple's failure to produce a bug fix for Pages 1.
It's fine to ask for more money for new features, but I don't like having to pay more just to get rid of the bugs they've known about since the beginning (the Tabs bug, as just one example).
So if I swallow my frustration and buy v2, do you think Apple will produce any updates for fixing bugs in this version? Or will they make me wait another year and buy the software a third time?

Pages' update policy has been argued to death a while back.
It's probably not going to change, so maybe balance accounts against other options on the basis that this is going to be subscription software! Personally I find not so bad value at that, since other programs also become obsolete or get tired, or charge you more for an update than the cost of iWork anyway.
As to your question about "bug fixes" - free updates might indeed be made available to fix up actual bugs. a Pages 1.0.1 must have been offerred somewhere along the line, and there was a Pages 1.0.2 just before Pages was released. If this happens with Pages 2, you will get it from software update.
Wishlists about new features, or how the existing ones might be made to work better are not actual bugs. And often they reflect somewhat conflicting requirements. So Apple have to sift through these, work out a way to implement them - and most likely will be looking at another release before they get around to it.
For AU$119 a year - make sure you get the best value by putting in feedback to Apple (Pages main menu, Provide Pages Feedback). Or consider what the Applestore salesman told me when I asked about iLife '06, which I would be unlikely to use enough to stretch what it does. Just get every second new version, he said. So that's $59.50 a year. You pays your money and you takes your choice. On the other hand, in my opinion, Pages 2.0.1 really does owe Pages 2 users a thing or two - and I do hope Apple are getting on with it.
Regards.

I payed for my phone screen to get fixed and they did it wrong but i live 100 miles from nearest apple store

I payed and it broke and its not under warrenty but they didnt do it right

You payed who to get it fixed?

Is it fair to pay for one year service and get only one trial?

Why am I only allowed to convert one file from PDF to Word when I have paid a whole year's subscription (US$19.99) to do just that?

OK, So after waiting on hold on the phone for an hour and getting mad I got ahold of someone here on live chat and got disconnected but have an answer for everyone and a solution! Here it is so you don't have to go through the same thing,
It takes 24-48 hours for your payment to clear in order for you to be able to use the program. (I told them it should clearly state this on there)
Then I asked if there was a way to get one or two more conversions for now and was told to use the 30 day FREE trial version of "Acrobat XI Pro" I was told by adobe customer service just now that this has the same thing included in it.
So if you only needed it temporarily you can get a full refund for "ExportPDF" within 30 days of original purchase sine you can use "Acrobat XI Pro" FREE 30 trial version anyways
Good luck everyone. I still say we all complain about not being notified about the waiting period to use our PAID software though

Internet issue: Paying for 35/35 ... getting 40/1. Possible Duplux Switch Issue

Goodmorning everyone.
I have an issue with my upload speed being extremely slow. I run the speed test, and my download speeds are consistently 42 Mbps, but my uploads are 1.5 Mbps. I had a similar issue a few months ago, but where my download speeds were awful as well.
After some basic research, I found that my SendBuffferSize number is extremely low, at 8192. The other issue I see with the speed test results are with the Duplex switch? I am at work at the moment and I can't remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines of my network card is at full duplex, and the switch (I'm assuming this is the router?) is at half duplex.
When I run the Verizon optimization tool, and immediately run the speed test again, the SendBufferSize number is much larger, 261360, and the Duplex message states everything is normal, and my upload speed is back up to 30 Mbps. But, after two minutes or so, the upload speed goes back to 1 Mbps, and the SendBufferSize is back to 8192, and the Duplex alarm message is back as well. Someone please shed some light on this for me? This is above my experience, and the three Verizon tech couldn't tell me anything about it either.

If you are reasonably good with the PC then you can go into the registry, always follow the advice to back up your registry before you begin.
In your case the send buffer size is indeed the culprit.
I wonder what OS you are using. Windows 7 requires that you run it as administrator. Are you doing that? If you are not then that is the reason why the setting is not sticking.
If you are doing that and it's still not working, then download the speed optimizer from the previously linked wwww.speedguide.net
Save it to your desktop
Right Click
Run as administrator
and then use that app to adjust your options.
I recommend
sliding the bar all the way to the right
Put a checkmark where it says modify all adapters
Select the radial button that says optimal settings and then hit apply

Getting 1/2 the speed I'm paying for & in too much pain to be on phone for hours--HELP

My children do a Cyber school and have been getting disconnected from class for months now. I'm also having losing the internet at random times on my desktop. A friend told me how to check my speed (since I know so little about computers) and I found out I'm only getting 1/2 the speeds I'm paying for!!!! I've called Verizon customer service in WHATEVER COUNTRY 6 times now but I have to hang up after any longer than 35 minutes because of chronic pain! Tech makes me turn off my router, check my speed, (when I know they can see the speed right in front of them, after 1 rep told me the speed without my asking) and computer share. Nothing gets resolved, I NEVER GET THE CALL FROM A SUPERVISOR THAT WAS PROMISED, and Verizon closes out the problem after 72 hours!! Seems like EVERYONE ELSE HERE GETS THE SAME RUNAROUND AND LACK OF RESPECT!! One billing person offered me a refund for the difference in speed for only 1 month and offered me to upgrade!! I can't afford to upgrade and the Cyber will work if I would only get the speed I had when 1 started with Verizon in 2002! I said UNACCEPTABLE and am having to call back once a week (because that's all I can handle) to try to get a Supervisor! Can anyone tell me how to get help without the exhaustion of being on the phone forever?!
All I know is I'm paying for 1.1-3 mbps but only getting .439-.864mbps download and 0.08-0.09 upload speeds and I have a Westfall 327W 8 year old modem.

Thank you for replying and sorry it took so long to respond. Now I can't get into my Verizon email so I didn't know I had a response on this site. I was also physically unable to sit at my computer. Here is the info you requested:
Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Vendor ID Code: 4 Line Mode: G.DMT Mode Data Path: Interleaved Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream PathDSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 864 160 Margin (dB) 20.5 31.0 Line Attenuation (dB) 44.5 29.0 Transmit Power (dBm) 3.3 11.1
on 8/15 I had the slowest download speed yet of 0.17 mbps! I am paying for 1.1-3mbps. My modem is 6 or 7 years old. I'm not sure if I mentioned the last 2 sentences before.

I have a new i phone and pay for gps---it will show directions but does not use a voice - how do i get it to use the voice?

Just got an iphone and pay for gps---how do i get the voice to work--it shows the directions but doesn't say it.

If you did not buy one that specifically states it does voice directions-there is nothing you can do.
Check the app settings, check the app website.

Wrong phone listed as returned and still paying for returned phone, how did I finally get a credit?

I went to the Rancho Santa Margarita store back in February. On the 16th I switched to the Edge program and added my boyfriend. We bought 2 phones under the Edge, however, we needed to return his phone the next day due to no service at his work.
The sales representative was great and returned the phone, however, on the receipt he listed my phone as being returned. I have been back to the store twice to get it fixed, called them multiple times as well and still no credit for the phone I no longer have in my possession.
I finally did a live chat with a representative online with Verizon and he said he would look into and take care of it. But recently, I received an email from him saying that there is no record that the phone was returned so I would need to go back to the store that apparently won't or can't help me either.
It is obvious that the wrong phone was listed on the return receipt since I am using the returned phone listed on my receipt and still paying for it as well. The other phone I am paying for is not even connected to a phone number. So it should be common sense and obvious that the wrong phone was listed as being returned because how could it be if I am using still using the phone that was apparently returned and it is connected to my phone line.
I have spent hours trying to get this resolved and have now paid $275.12 on a phone that is in Verizon's possession but they won't and/or don't care to acknowledge the mistake on their part of listing the wrong phone returned.
How can I finally get this resolved and get my money back? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have never had bad customer service until now and would hate to cancel my account, but am very close to that point.

Ok so I am still perplexed by this situation and why Verizon chooses to ignore my pleas to help me get a refund for a phone that I no longer possess since I returned it to them the next day. I am still having to pay for this phone and am getting extremely upset at this situation.
To make matters worse since I posted about this situation at the end of January, I did have one person contact me from Verizon and ask me for more information. I provided that information and have not heard back as well as now all receipts related to this incident have been removed from my account. Well I did keep a copy of these on my computer and on several zip drives so I still have the proof of them continuing to charge me for two phones when it shows a receipt of one being returned even though they listed the wrong one.
I sure hope this was a mistake and not a cover up to try and eliminate all evidence of this mistake.
Should I go to the better business bureau with this issue? Has anyone else had a similar situation and if so how did you finally get it resolved.
Thank you in advance for your information and suggestions.

Wait for 2013 Mac Mini or get a new iMac?

Mac Mini's seem a lot better value as you're not paying for the monitor and they are also a lot better to update.
The iMac doesn't allow you to update hardware yourself really.
Mac Mini's are due the update. I'm thinking to wait as the fastest processor at the cheapest price is quite important to me. Also the Mac Mini has been out for 1 year today.
I could buy an Mac Mini in the time being and take it back in 14 days if it's not to speed and then buy a iMac to see the difference myself in speed, while I'm waiting for the mac Mini. I could possibly even try both that way and maybe i'll just fall in love with the iMac and hopefully the new mac Mini will be released in the time being.
I know the Mac Mini's processor will be slower but the latest one will no doubt be an i7 which will no doubt be fast. Also worried about overheating with the mac mini.
What should I do?

One way or another you are paying for the monitor whether you get a Mac mini, an iMac, a Powerbook, or a Mac Pro. The difference is can you replace the monitor and the CPU separately or do you have to replace them as a unit. I have used iMacs for years and loved them, but some months ago I switched to a Mac mini with an Apple Thunderbolt monitor. Upgradability is not the forte of any Mac short of the Mac Pro and its upgradability is almost entirely from external devices. Only Apple knows what the next iMac and Mac mini will be like, but the new new Mac Pro demonstrates what Apple's engineers are thinking of.
That said, not even the rumor sites are saying anyghing about a new Mac mini so I would not hold my breath waiting on a new one. So if you need and/or want a Mac mini, now is as probably as good a time as any to get one. My 2.6GHz i7 with a 1.1TB Fusion drive, 16GB of RAM and a 27" Tunderbolt monitor is proving to be a very good and reliable machine. Fast enough that I have never felt any speed constraints. The biggest limiting factor is probably the video, but I am not into RPG or other heavy duty game use so that is not a problem. FWIW I ended up spending roughly the same amount on the fully tricked out Mac mini with the TB monitor as a comprarably equipped iMac. I will get well financially in a few years when I buy another faster and more powerful Mac mini, or maybe even a Mac Pro if I am feeling really flush at the time.
By the way when I do upgrade I already have plans to use my current Mac mini as a "headless" file server tucked away in a closet somewhere.

Won't let me change DD date without paying for ser...

I checked before signing up with BT Sport and was told I could set my DD date. This was important as I don't get paid until 23rd and needed money to go out after this date. I signed up for BT Sport in HD through sky digital.
I was given no option to set my DD date and they have set it for 18th. I have no option to change it online.
So I rang them up. After THREE HOURS I finally got through only to be told the only way to change DD date was to go on to monthly payment plan. I agreed to this, only to then be told I had to pay for phone and broadband as well to take advantage of this plan. Even though I don't have either. They're with sky.
So I tried to go through to cancellations but after an hours wait I gave up
What can I do?

Can no-one help me? Do I REALLY have to pay for phone and broadband without getting it, just to change my DD date?

Re: Paying for blast speed - getting only 30 Mbps

Thanks Lewis I will give it a shot And I will continue to focus on this until its resolved....In my entire life (over 40 years) i have only complained to one other company, I am usually the type who will just walk away to never come back. This, however, feels like being robbed monthly and since I am not made of money (quite far from it) it has stepped up to a whole new level of personal.But look on the bright side, Tech number 8? 9? will be here friday!lol

So call me a long time user. Right now I am on the Blast 50 (down) 10 (up) plan & I on average get 55-62 down & 10-12 up but this is on my laptop with the intel [email protected] Ghz. with turbo mode of 3.3. if I use my 13 year old HP desktop @ 2.53 Ghz. I am lucky if I get 13 Mbps. down & 6 Mbps up. I feel it is because the HP is loaded with tons of software that is slowing it all down. So how old is your computer?
