Please Help! Im at my witts end!!

Im praying someone here can give me some advice, if i could find someone from BT to go and see i would. I have never recieved such terrible service from any company. 
Ok, my problem.. Ill give you the full story. Was a very happy customer with ZEN internet, and just over a year ago i left them and moved to sky on a package deal, was happy with that but funds got tight and we let the sky package go. Internet is very important to our house so i decided to go with BT.
I called BT before putting the order through online, The person on the phone was brilliant, they understood all the hard work Zen had done with my line, having interleaving turned off and various other things, i wanted to confirm they could maintain this level of performance. I was assured it would be the same or even better!
We migrated on 24/03/10 and the problems started imediately. The line was almost unusable for 10 days, BT assured me this was normal and that my line would settle at its optimum level. 10 days after i was on the phone complaining, my speeds downloading from servers i have used for years were slower, my pings much higher (interleaving on!)
after many calls to Tech support i snapped, and using the complaints form i wrote a pretty strong email where i was contacted 5 days later by a very nice chap who really seamed to care about my fault. (date at this point was april 10th)
The conclusion of this contact was that my download speeds were increased 3909Kbps to 5145Kbps. Looked good, Bt still not providing me with the same line speed i had with zen, but we are only 400Kbps off.
Well, thats only part of the story. Despite BTs speedtester reporting this increase in speed, i was suffering incredible lag, kicks from servers, and even problems streaming low quality video from youtube.
I had to go away for a week with work, but when i got back the problems were as they were, so another phone call to BT tech support, Who asked me to try different machines, different filters, plugging in to the test socket (im so tired of doing this now, it must be 20 times)
I have been promised call backs over and over again, despite me telling them the hours i work, they still call when im out, if at all!
i complained again 5 days ago, no response at all this time!
this is what i have... from speedtester
 Download speedachieved during the test was - 5145 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 2000-7150 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :5728 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 5053 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 12.99:28.63:58.38 (SBE:NBEBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes.
But this is what i get from my hub

Its rubbish, i have had enough, is there anyway i can get out of this stupid contract with BT on the basis they are not providing the service they promised? dont get me wrong i would prefer it was fixed by them but i really cant face being asked to change the filters again, or plug into the test socket... i cant even get my problem listened too by someone above the most basic level of tech support!
any help and advice would be appreciated!

Thing is i know the profile says its the same as zen, what im saying is actual performance at this end is nothing like i had before
Speed test says one thing, actual speeds are different. Yes i can download like i have a 5Mbps line for 10 seconds, then i time out

  • Please help, im at my wits end!!

    Hi All,
    Ive had my Ipod Video 30G since Xmas, and ive never had any problems with it. I used to use my boyfriends laptop but ive recently bought a new macbook.
    I transferred all of my songs over, and contacted apple so i could download my already purchased videos onto my new mac.
    I did this and all of them downloaded fine - however, the videos will not sync to my ipod. Everything else works fine (songs both purchased and imported from my cd collection).
    Whenever i try to sync my ipod i get this message: "some of the videos in your itunes library, including XXX were not copied to the ipod XXX beacuse they cannot be played on this ipod".
    Now this has NEVER been a problem before, and at first i thought that maybe itunes wasnt recognising my ipod as a video one, which it is. However when i clicked into the individual file problems it said, "XXX was not copid becuase the video format is not supported by XXX ipod"
    So, the plot thickens....i guess this is because of the format of the file.
    So, i spend 50 mins on the phone with apple support, they say there is nothing wrong with either my mac nor ipod, it is an itunes issue.
    So i email itunes, SEVERAL TIMES, for them to tell me to do the following:
    1: the 5 R's, restart, restore blah blah
    2: Deauthorise and Re-authorise my itunes store with my mac
    3: Reinstall Itunes
    All of which i have done. The problem remains...
    So i scower the internet for the solution, someone tells me to choose the "convert selection to ipod" option. This doesnt work an brings up an error -50 message.
    Someone tells me to trash the apple.itunes.com option in itunes documents, this doesnt work either!
    So, now i dont know what else to do, apple have emailled me and told me that they havnt a clue, but will "get back to me" GREAT EH?
    Now, since the newer version of itunes was installed today, now i can play the videos on itunes or through quicktime, but I STILL CANT PUT THE VIDEOS ON MY IPOD.
    Please someone help, im at my wits end and im about ready to throw all my apple items in the bin.

    is this a witch hunt? I just need some help and didnt know whether to put this post in the ipod or the itunes section, and when i tried to send them my computer froze and ended up adding the post a few times. If i could delete them i would all but one.
    Youd think i had broken a law with all the comments im getting!
    All I need is help.
    thanks

  • Please help find driver, at the end of my rope with this ca

    I purchased a used soundcard from a computer repair shop near here a few months back. The sound card did not come with an installation CD. So i was pretty much left on my own to find drivers for it. Ive got a good many years experience building pcs so i figured this wouldnt be a problem. How WRONG i was lol. After being unable to find drivers for it originally I finally gave up and put the card in a static protection bag i had laying around and havent thought about it much since then just counted it as a loss. Now im back at it trying again to find drivers to get this card to work.
    The following is every bit of information i feel applicable to this sittuation, however if anymore infos needed please let me know and ill try to provide it.
    My operating system= windows XP with SP2
    The following is off the card itself. (which says its a creative sound blaster Li've!)
    Theres an inkstamp on the uppper left hand corner of the non chipset side that reads
    32AMN08B 853
    94v-0 k
    (backwards RJ looking symbol)e9697 3999
    Serial number= m48309402990
    Model number= CT4830
    Steps i've taken so far are i originally went to the creative search function and looked for the drivers on their site it gave me a link to two files which i downloaded.
    This is the link where i downloaded the following files
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=& nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=&Product_Na me=Li've%2&Product_ID=4857&modelnumber=&driverlang =033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=26&y=
    And this of course is the two files i got.
    . Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe
    2. Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
    File number one has a warning as follows:
    (This is an update patch, it is not a complete driver installation. You must have the previous Li'veDrvPack.exe (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US), posted July 7,2002. in your system if you wish to use this patch.)
    Ive searched the site i cant find this file (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US) after searching through the forums a bit i found this thread http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=25677&vie w=by_date_ascending&page=
    Which had lists of ISOs for all the different installation CDs. I downloaded everything i seen on filefront (http://hosted.filefront.com/BadBoyforum) badboy had posted that had LIVE in the name. These include the following ISOs.
    . SB Audigy & Li've!.iso
    2. SB Li've! 5. (SB0228).iso
    3. SB Li've! 5. (SB0229).iso
    4. SB Li've! 24bit.iso
    I mounted each image in daemon tools and attempted to install and recieved the following error
    ERROR= Setup could not detect any sound blaster audio card on your system. Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit.
    Im kindve at a loss as how to proceed. Ive tryed looking through driverguide.com and a few other generic driver sites without much luck. If anybody at all has any suggestions on this id be very appreciati've. Like i said its a used card so it could be an OEM but it appears to be an ODM but who knows im by no means an expert on all this. I may have missed one of the LIVE isos off that filefront site but i dont think so. The only one i see thats left is the external one and its an internal card so i dont see how that could be right.

    shadowcage wrote:
    okay well i tryed the patching method on all of the isos i had after extracting them.
    I patched it and it said it was successful. when i ran each successi've setup it still didnt detect any soundblaster hardware.
    I also went to compaq and tryed a driver i found there without any luck. Im thinking at this point it is an OEM
    Although i still dont understand how you got compaq from the model number, im going to continue looking around their site.
    Maybe ill luck out but so far im about to the point im ready to throw this @#$%@%#@$@##@$#@$% thing away lol.
    Im looking on driver guide now again. :Sighs This is so aggrivating Normally i wouldnt have bought a card without the drivers but
    my wifes the one that got it and she didnt know. Oh well......
    You can get the model information from here.
    You can also try by installing kX drivers -> if kX package don't get installed, your card may have some problems.

  • Please help, I'm at the end of my rope...

    I got my 30gb video iPod a couple of months ago. Well, today I was running iPod restore and it got unplugged. Since that happened, my iPod can't be recognized by any USB port on my computer or on my friends mac. We've tried using different cables in case they were damaged and that didnt' work. My iPod does make the sound like it's trying to load something but it just keeps repeating and doesn't stop unless i plug it in or unplug it. Also, nothing shows up on the screen even if I reset it or try to put it into Disk Mode. Is there anything I can do or will I have got get it serviced?
    XPS M1710   Windows XP Pro  

    Now I've got another problem with it. After I posted my original question here, I didn't touch my iPod again. Well it just made a horrible noise that sounded like two pieces of steel grinding against one another. It hasn't made a single sound since then and now it's completely cold. I fear the worst for my shiny companion...It seems that my only option now is to get it serviced but feel free to post anything that you may think will help.
    R.I.P, little buddy.

  • N9 Issues, Please Help!! At wits end!!!

    Right... So I'm facing a few problem with my N9... 
    First, I can't sign in to the Ovi store... Everytime I try it says 'Unkown Error. Check time and date settings' ... I've tried hard reset, cleared the device too, updated to PR1.1... But the problem doesnt seem to go away.. 
    Also, whenever I use my Facebook app, all activity time is noted as 'A moment ago' instead of the actual time.. I have a feeling the two problems might be linked... 
    Any help would be much, much appreciated.. I love this phone... But this is giving me a real heartache.. 
    Oh and no 3G here in my country.. only Edge...

  • As a follow up from my recent question, I turned off the compatibility mode under all and regular, clicked out ok, ok then then went to itunes and played a song as they said to, and then tried to open the store and STILL CANNOT OPEN STORE, please Help!!!

    Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it.  This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Iphone problem, please help!!!

    My 8gb Iphone 4 was saying it was full and wouldnt let me sync any new music/apps, etc. It had nearly 2gb of 'other' so using DiskAid I managed to delete all the 'other' files and have alot more space on my phone, however, after doing this, none of my songs will play. It skips through all my songs without me pressing anything, yet they play on my Itunes libary. I have tried syncing it all again, I have also tried to back up and restore my Iphone but it says there isnt enough space on the phone for me to do so. All my music is illegally downloaded as I cant afford to pay for songs on Itunes, and the songs I have actually bought from Itunes (which is about 5 songs) wont even play either. I spoke to a woman in my local Apple store and she suggested backing up everything and then restoring it, but I'm scared incase I do it wrong and lose everything. She said it is possible that the songs names are on my phone, but the actual track isnt.. How do I sort this? This is very urgent as I am doing a music course at college and I need my music on my phone! Please help me or I will end up smashing my phone with a hammer!

    You have to do a DFU on the phone. the other stuff is firmwear and sofware. If you delete this than you must do a DFU. A DFU is pretty much distoying the phone and re-downloading everything. If you do this than you will not be able to restore from any back-up. I am with you man. I have a 64Gb iPhone 5 and the other files takes up 9Gb of space. It is very annoying.

    Hi marci
    Questions and Suggestions
    Work through these in order, if you haven't already done so through your psychic powers
    Have you recently installed new RAM lately?
    How much hard disk space is used and available (free)?
    Check your battery charge state.
    Run the computer without anything connected and see how it goes.
    If it still freezes, Press Option + Command + Escape keys together and attempt to Relaunch Finder. Try it more than once.
    Be aware of what you are doing at the time, does it occur when using a particular application, or doing a particular task?
    Are you using the Classic environment?
    Restart and reset the PRAM, by starting up and holding down the Option + Command + P + R keys simultaneously.
    If it still fails:-
    If you boot up from the installer CD, as you have done and checked the Disk, let it just sit for say an hour. If it shuts down it is a hardware problem, if not it is software.
    With the Apple hardware Test CD, reporting that it could not work on that model computer is strange. Did you unplug all peripherals, including an ethernet cable, printer cable?
    And did you hold the C key down long enough until the little picture appears (OK, you said it didn't get that far, but that is what should occur)
    One hardware test you can do without the CD is download and use rember a shareware RAM tester.
    If Software related, start up in safe mode, and use it for an hour.
    If it shuts down it is the OS, if it does not it may well be a third party application.
    Try these things, to help determine if it hardware or software.

  • Please help cannot open itunes

    I just got this computer a few days ago. I have been spending my evenings getting everything set up and transferred from the desktop me and my sister used to share. So tonight I was getting my iTunes installed. After I installed iTunes, I imported the playlist, and then I updated to version 8.1. I believe the version from the external drive was 7.something. after I had it all set up I tried to play a song to see that all went well. when I tried to play a song it said I need to validate the computer, but my sisters e-mail came up. I figured it was because she got her ipod first and this file came from the old computer. I tried validating with my e-mail and it wouldn't work. I still thought it was the actual iTunes program giving me the problem so I decided to delete it and download it from online instead of the external drive. After I deleted it I realized that the problem was with the songs, since she bought them. I decided to re-install the itunes I had installed previously. I couldn't find it in the recycle bin so I re-installed the one on the external. when I did I got this error message "The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." and the program would not open. so I deleted it again and downloaded the new one from online. That one said it needed to be opened with an application, and I don't know what that means. So I tried a system restore and it said my system restore failed. Now i cannot get any iTunes installed and working on my computer. I tried looking for the file and couldn't find it. I was gonna delete the iTunes folder manually through "my computer" but then it said it might make some things not work right and I got scared. Please help me fix this.

    i ended up doing a complete system recovery and got the old itunes off, but i still have the problem of getting "this file needs to be opened with an application" after i download itunes 8.1 setup

  • ITunes 11.0.3 asks for password again and again, have re-done my credit card details, have changed my Apple ID password, tried to log in and out of iTunes, none of thos seem to work, just keeps happening without end, please help

    I have tried to re-install iTunes 11.0.3 at least 6 times.
    I have also downloaded iTunes 11.0.3 at least 5 times.
    I have changed my Apple ID password.
    I have downloaded (again, I've done that many times) iTunes 11.0.3, then I switched off the iMac, then restarted the wi-fi modem.  Switched on the iMac, loaded iTunes, same problem.
    I tried to just switch off the wi-fi, did the same as point above, same problem.
    Even tried to change the system date to 2038, this only seemed (although I doubt it) to fix the "not responding" issue which I had this morning.
    The Apple ID password issue, where it asks me for the password loads and loads of times (probably 50 times or more), one after the other has been happening for about 3 days now.
    Here is a copy of my message problem:

    Firstly, I'd open iTunes and it would immediately say it was not responding, I'd have to force quit, try again, re-boot, try again etc.  I tried re-installing iTunes, changing password, everything to no avail, then changed my date to 2038, and voila it started responding (no, don't ask me, I just read in online and was desperate enough to try it).  Of course, I don't believe that this actually helped, I would like to know what did help or if there is something specific one needs to do to fix this.
    I have not been able to get rid of this problem:  Whenever I try to make a purchase it asks for my Apple ID password, dozens of times until I give up and press cancel, cancel, cancel.
    Why does it do this?  I don't want to purchase anything because I can't keep typing in my password again and again.  I'm not exaggerating.
    As I mentioned, I have tried to re-install iTunes, about 6 times, and I changed my password.  I still get the same problem.
    Also, my iTunes still looks like the classical iTunes and doesn't have the new interface.
    Has anyone experienced this and was able to fix it, or does anyone know what the problem is?  Please help, I'm at my wits end.

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

  • Why is it, if i have one video clip in the timeline, i can't just add a transition at the end of that solo clip to fade to black!?! please help!

    hey there, so im making a video for a family event..
    i drag in an audio clip all of a sudden this becomes the be all and end all, and i want to sync some vid clips to that audio track, so let's say i drag in a 10 second video clip, at the end of the 10 seconds, i want to add a transition to fade to black.. i go to the transition window.. choose the cross dissolve or fade to colour, but it will not allow me to drag it on that video clip.. it always ends up on the audio track. this bloody application is so confusing compared to final cut. please help!

    Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper.  Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
    Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
    If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
    No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline.  And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
    An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor.  Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right).  Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top.  Drag it left for however much fade you wish.  (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
    A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio.  Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

  • Syncing with a calendar - please help, I'm at my wits end

    Hi
    I have a PC running windows Vista, which I bought at the end of October. I then bought an iPhone in mid November. Now, if I'd known I would've just bought a Mac , but I have the hardware now and am trying to make it work for me.
    I worked out Windows Calendar wouldn't sync with the iPhone, so looked for an alternative. The only thing I could think of doing was signing up for MS Office 2007 (Small business version). I normally use OpenOffice for their Word, Excel and Powerpoint style progs so only really looked to Ms Office to get the calendar working. I have now reached the end of my MS free trial and to upgrade to the full version will cost me over £300, which is ludicruous just to get a calendar to work (the PC only cost £420!). The home and student versions don't have Outlook, so are no good for me.
    Can anyone suggest a calendar application I could try? I signed up to MobileMe in the hope this had a calendar, but it comes back to the same problem again.
    Help! I'm really cross about this because the guy in the phone shop said I could sync with my PC, but never said I would need specific software!
    Please help! There must be something I can do that won't cost the earth!
    Thanks, Rebecca x
    p.s. I do have an old cd for Office XP. Will this work? Problem with that is Ms Office has now disabled all useful funtions, including save, so I can't get all my emails off before wiping Ms Offic 2007 from my machine and installing Office XP. That will mean a day of printing out emails, etc, so I don't lose anything! Grr!

    Google is your friend... I just did a Google search for 'google calendar iphone' and found several sites discussing such. I don't use it but have heard it works well.

  • At My Wits End - Please Help Before I Contact OFCO...

    I have been loyal BT customer since... well having a landline in my name.
    We have been experiencing problems with BT / BT Broadband now for over 3 months. During this period we have had over 6 engineer visits an countless phone calls to BT Customer Services and also their Priority Care desk and the problem is still not resolved.
    Over 3 weeks ago I also sent an email to BT asking for contact from someone residing in the UK that could assist with the issue. I asked for a response within 10 working days and stated failure to respond would result in contacting OFCOM, watchdog and/or Trading Standards.
    The problem comprises of two issues -
    1] very slow broadband connection - no more than 0.13Mb/s at best (and that is when we have a connection at all
    2] zero broadband connection
    The telephone line crackles badly too, but as the landline is only there for the broadband this doesn't really concern us too much. We use our mobiles for phone calls.
    A similar fault stems back to 2008 when we started experiencing slowing connection speeds, but after a service visit the fault appeared to be fixed until this time last year it slowed to a death again. Following another engineer visit connection stabilised at around 1Mb/s. Then 3 months ago the problem started all over again.
    Whenever I call the customer service line, we get routed to their call centre in India where we just keep being fobbed off by engineer visits by engineers that are either not capable of doing the work or do not have the time allocated to do a comprehensive service.
    We have been told a huge number of excuses (From aluminium in the ground running next to the cables to faults with our equipment in the house (which has all been replaced for new within the last 3 months) to "we can't find a problem") as to why the service is unstable and slow.
    Another Engineer is booked for tomorrow morning, but I am fairly confident they will not solve the issue.
    The lack of service is causing problems trying to sort out year end Self Assessment, book holidays, online banking etc... over and above communicating with family living abroad (via Skype) and general surfing - all things we can not do from work.
    I have a brief record of all the attempts to resolve the issue including records of speed tests. I can also get the entire case history from BT if necessary (as I think they are compiled by law to hand over any notes they have taken). I also obviously have a copy of the email sent to direct to BT.
    Can someone here please, please help or advise who I need to contact to get the issue sorted out for once and for all before I take the matter further?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1) What is the maximum speed you can get in your area? Type your number into the box on the right of the following web page:
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProd​ucts/displayTopic.do?topicId=29017
    It will tell you whether you can get BT Infinity and what your potential line speed is for your area.
    2) What package are you on? All BT packages are subject to a Fair Usage policy. Even if you are on the 'Unlimited' package your speed will be slowed down if you are a heavy user. Contact BT (call 150 from a BT landline) and choose the options concerning questions about products. Don't choose the fault options else you'll be put through to India. This way you will hopefully be put through to somebody in England as I was, and you can get the matter solved more easily. Try and find out whether your account / line has been put under Network Management.
    3) What products do you connect to the Internet with? Xbox? BT Vision? Give us a full list.
    4) As the above user imjolly said, run the BT speedtester and post some of your router information. A moderator then may be able to provide assistance.
