Paying for 35/35 speed BUT????

I recently upgraded and started paying for the service which is 35/35 (I think). My question is that since I upgraded but Verizon didn't offer a wireless N router, are the speeds really working, or should I have asked for a different router? I have an Actiontec.
Another problem I'm having and a reason I was thinking of upgrading to wireless N is because I have some interference in my house and 2 xbox's that are in other rooms have very weak signals. Since they are having this problem I thought about paying for some ethernet cable and hard wiring both. The problem with that is the wire costs about the same as a wireless N router.
So what I'm looking to do is either find out if wirelss N would possible help with signal strength for 2 of my xbox's? Should I buy a booster for the verizon router I have instead of hard wiring? I know hard wire is the way to go to get good speeds but money is a factor here. Of course the other thing is since I'm paying for faster speeds should I upgrade to wireless N? Also did I make a mistake and pay for faster service when I (or verizon) didn't upgrade my router?
Thanks in advance for any help.

run speedtests.... what are the numbers?
http://speedtest.verizon.net (uses java, pick your state)
http://speakeasy.net/speedtest (uses flash, 8 cities to choose from)
If Win Vista or WIn 7, open IE in admin mode when running the VZ speedtest.. after the test runs, it has a link to the Optimizer (that requires admin mode)...

Paying for Infinity 2, speed is less than advertis...

Hi,
I am paying for Infinity 2 "Superfast Fibre" but my speed is rubbish. Reported to BT and engineer was out yesterday, tested line and everything is ok
He reckons i'm just too far from the Cabinet and would never get the speeds suggested in the ad and as below, so it looks like I am paying £5 a month just for BT Cloud.
Is best option just to contact BT and downgrade to Infinity 1 or would this slow me down even more/
Speed tests have been run over the last week at all times of day via wired connection straight into to HH3 and consistently come out at 24Mb
Thanks
Andy

How far from the cabinet are you. See graph for speed to distance.
Regardless of that, you are out side even the lowest speed Range B estimate. You need to contact BT again and report that your speed is 24Mbps and your estimated speed should be between the Range A estimate of 39Mbps to 59Mbps and that you want another engineer, who is prepared to look for the fault and the reason you are not getting your estimated speed, rather than fob you of with an excuse about being to far from the cabinet.
If that was the case your estimated speed on the checker would reflect that.

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why?

I have payed for Adobe acrobat pro for one year and it is valid to november 2015, but now i can not convert a pdf document to a word format, why ?

Hi m_karhulinna,
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can save directly to Word format from within Acrobat by choosing File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
(It sounds like you may be trying to use the ExportPDF online service, which is separate from Acrobat, and not necessary in your case.)
Best,

Paying for HD programming but only have standard STB's.

I mistakenly posted this message in the internet forum so am reposting it here.
In Jan. I was persuaded to lock in an upgraded FIOS plan with 25/25 with HBO & movie package. I was looking at my bill yesterday & realized I was paying for HD on the movie package. I've had FIOS for 3 years now & still have all my old original equipment. The STB's are QIP2500-1 & the modem is a Motorola NIM100. Do I have to pay even more money to be able to see what I am already paying for?
Thanks
Al
P.S. As of a few months ago, I can also can not get the weather widget on my sets.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you subscribe to the movie package(s) you get both HD and SD versions (there is no pricing difference for SD only). If you want to be able to watch the movie channels in HD then you will need to upgrade your STB to an HD model. Unless you live in the NY metro area that will be a change in monthly rental to $9.99.

Firefox was downloading fast for my connection speed but now it is very slow, what can i do?

Firefox was downloading at about 45-60 kbs, which is fast for my connection, just a few days ago, but now im lucky if it downloads at 20 kbs, what can I do to get my download speeds back to what they were? And I have already freed up space on my computer until I now have 50.8 GB of free space
I have Vista 32 bit on my computer and the latest version of Firefox installed.
== about 3 days ago

here are some Tips&Tricks that can help you double the speed of Firefox.
1. Type about:config in the address bar and then press Enter.
2. In the filter search bar type network.http.pipelining. Be sure the value field is set true,if not double-click to set true.
HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it.
3. Go back to the filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.
4. In the filter search bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once opened double-click on it and set it to true.
5. In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.
6. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING
This preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:
A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK
B. When prompted to choose the value for the new boolean, select true and click OK.
7. Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will regularly render what has been received to that point. This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.
8. CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL
This option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.
9. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER
A. This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.
B. Type content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.
C. You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.
10. Notify Backoffcount
This option controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK.
11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD
You can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load.
The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.
12. NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY
Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally, they display what’s been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn’t have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

Paying for ADSL2+, but receiving ADSL.

Hi. I pay for ADSL 2+ speeds, but I receive ADSL. I only found this out recently. I was suspicious at first since my internet speeds can get frustratingly slow (below 10 kilobytes per second at times), but I played it off as my location (6km away from an exchange, based on www.adsl2exchanges.com ). I had a call to Telstra, but I was told that my internet speeds were within their ranges (I am beginning to believe that it was within the ADSL range). Here is my speedtest result (in kilobytes. This is one of the better days): Anyway, recently I found that my router site was different, and I did some looking around to find that 'lo and behold; my connection speed was ADSL. How can I troubleshoot this? More calls to Telstra? I'm not sure what to do. Thank you, all.

I have just moved house 4 streets in Balwyn. Previous house used IINET ADSL and received approx 6.8MPS download and extremely reliable (very rare drop outs). New house is nearer Canterbury exchange using Telstra Bigbond "Fast" ADSL. Only receiving 4.5MPS with many 3-5 minute dropouts during the course of a day. Today I have changed configuration from "Standard" to "Noise Profile 1". So far no drop outs but speed is now a dismal 3.36 MPS - half the speed of IINET but nearer the exchange. To call this "FAST" ADSL is a joke !!!!!!

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

After all that went on, comcast was still only able to get my "105" speeds up to around 37mbs...I asked for a credit back from the year I paid for that service, and was denied. So I decided to step down to the "25" internet speed. Customer retention gave me a "deal" for a year (which I assume will slowly crawl back up over 100 dollars a month). They also told me there was a charge for some "install package" that had to be shipped. I told the man that if I was charged for that, I would cancel comcast entirely, so that was waved (YAY)After about a week since downgrading, my internet speeds are pulling about 57mbs pretty constantly, what magic occured to fix a problem that could not be figured out before I could not tell you, but it just makes me think that the entire company is a joke. I have started a nice letter to comcast as I am still pretty upset over being ripped off for a year.....but what does one customer (of 17 years) really matter to them anyway.I suggest that everyone who pays for this high speed internet to really check what they are actually getting out of it, and also have your friends check as well.....Another company to big for its own good, and pretty much a monopoly in certain markets.Bravo Comcast.....BravoI will say something here, I too have been on the Comcast internet since at least the Kuwait war which was when? 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?

I can't download payed for games but I can download music and update things why?

I can't download payed for games I want but I can download payed for music and up date stuff how do I fix it?

These are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. But as Niel says it's unlikely to happen as to doesn't have the ram or processor to support iOS 6.
Have you checked to see if the developers of the Netflix app have an older compatible version of their app in your country's app store ? Try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, and then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.

I have just updated my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 7 and now wi fi greyed out and Bluetooth not working. Tried reset, restore everything - no use. Its out of warranty too. I refuse to pay for a new phone when clearly this is an apple issue not phone issue.

Can anyone help? I updated my iPhone 4 with latest iOS 7 and now wi fi is greyed out, Bluetooth won't work and tbh am so angry! Phone now out of warranty so apple won't help without it costing me. Don't want to pay as its an apple problem not phone problem. It worked ok before. Tried everything, even clearing it down. Can't even back it up now unless I connect to a pc!

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

Why i need to pay for upgrading a new garageband?

Currently my garageband is still v6.0.5, am using OS X Yosemite, MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013. Really need helps

The new GarageBand version is a major new upgrade, going from version number 6.0.5 to 10. So it has to be purchased, The purchase of GarageBAnd 10 used to be free, but you had to pay for the in-app purchase. Without this purchase GarageBand was just a Trial version and you had to pay to get a full working version. Now the conditions have changed. You have have to pay for the basic version, but the in-app purchase is free. But basically, you have to pay the same as before.
When you upgrade, don't delete or uninstall your current GarageBand 6.0.5. You can use both versions concurrently, and the new version does not support all features of the previous GarageBand version. you may want to use your previous version occasionally, and it is hard to get it back, once uninstalled.

Why Apple delete programs you payed for?

I'm a honest app store customer. And why apple has rights to remove apps form app store? I paid for some apps, that not available any more. That's stealing! I have same problem with iOS and Mac OS apps. For example, they removed Growl 1.3. Now I have to pay for 2.0. But I'm fine with 1.3.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Apple constantly reminds everyone to backup their purchases because anything can disappear from the app stores and other content stores at any moment. If you fail to do so, the problem lies with you. It isn't stealling, it's capitalism.
Apple only controls its own apps in the stores. Apple folows the direction of the other content owners for the stores, When Growl's developers ctreated the next major paid upgrade to their app, Apple removes the old version and replaces it with the new version.
