Possible fibre upgrade in my area

Hi all! Unfortunately for me I'm stuck out in the sticks with a pretty bad copper connection (0.8-1.2meg down, 0.2-0.4meg up and an alright ping of 35-45ms). However, I just discovered that my exchange, EMHARDI (Hardingstone) has been upgraded to FTTC.
Some people connected to this exchange have mentioned that their cabinet has already been upgraded to support FTTC and they're now able to get Infinity. I was wondering when the cabinet at the end of my street would be entering the upgrading process (if it does at all). The cabinet number is P20. I've checked and it's currently not in any phase of upgrade (http://puu.sh/8lUuS.png).
Does anyone know of the plans for EMHARDI cabinets and when they'll be upgraded of will I have to hope the I'm one of the 90% by 2015 or be very patient and wait for 2017. By then that'll be a whole 10 years on a ~1meg connection, yikes!

  • Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite

    Hello All. Here’re some of the details/background info…hopefully all this won’t be so annoying. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
    I have 2 Mac Pro’s (Early 2008) 3,1 both running SL (10.6.8). One I have been using non-stop throughout these years, I’d call it MP 2008 (A). The other one once belong to a friend who actually bought it around the same time I purchased mine, only that he didn’t use it much and just recently decided to sell it to me. I’d call it MP 2008 (B). Both MP’s are very light on data on the main, boot HD, just applications,… as everything I work on is kept in external hard drives and backups. I do not usually download any third party stuff (only when strictly necessary for my work) and essentially it’s all about the software and applications (Adobe CS3 and LR 0.2) I need to do my pretty basic work.
    All pretty old stuff by now, I know.
    Following a couple of mishaps and lots of good advice in these forums, (thanks to the hatter, etc.) I went ahead and bought 16GB of RAM for both, and an NVidia Graphics Card (all from Amazon.com) for my MP 2008 (A) to replace it after it went bad, and everything has been working just fine. As you can tell, I have not tried to upgrade much, but rather keep everything stock and running as smoothly as possible.
    I am afraid the next big, important thing I MUST do is back up my almost 6 years-old HD (I know, it should’ve been done long ago). Frankly, I have never done it before because I didn’t even know that could be possible…I learned about it right here, in this forum. In this sense, much I have also read (here) about the SSD option, and about how great of an upgrade that could be too, but I have decided to stick to the regular 3.5” for now. (I just recently found out those SSD even existed!). Hopefully, once I gain a bit of confidence on how this works I’ll jump into the SSD option, cards, etc. So, I purchased 2X 3.5” SATA III HD’s to try cloning my MP 2008 (A) boot, main HD and get this process over with.
    QUESTIONS
    QUESTION #1: After installing the internal hard drives in bays 2 and 3: Do I have to specifically format them in order to turn them into bootable copies? If so, how do I do that? I have read about using ‘Disk Utility’ to format external hard drives for this purpose but I don’t know if that would apply for internal hard drives as well.
    QUESTION #2: What are the settings/features you all recommend I should select/or deselect on CCC so I can have exact, bootable copies of my original HD? No fancy stuff, advanced options, etc…just what I need to have good enough copies that just work.
    QUESTION #3: How do I test them?
    I noticed that under “System Preferences/System/Startup Disk” I can select the drive/system I want to use to start up my computer from. My question is:
    QUESTION #4: Can I permanently choose any of the Mac Pro four (4) bays/bootable hard drives as the main drive/system for startup? I always thought I could only be done from the original, ‘main’ bootable drive in bay 1.
    QUESTION #5: What if the copy fails? How do I go back to the HD that works or to the next copy, for that matter?
    About my MP 2008 (B): In an effort to sell me his MP, my friend (as knowledgeable as I am) messed up something that delays the start up a lot. I noticed that in the finder, the applications appear double, etc., so I am not so happy with it. Even though the little house icon has his name in the finder, he was able to make me the Administrator for the machine (I don’t know how). But again, it starts up to the typical chime, then a gray screen for quite a loooong while, then the apple logo, then the loading animation…and theeennnn it starts…and no known issues from there. In other words, I am sure he messed something up there while transferring this machine to me and now its startup is so delayed.
    QUESTION #6: Let’s say that both the bootable HD copies I created on my MP 2008 (A) work fine: Can I take one out and install it in my MP 2008 (B) and eventually turn it into my startup drive and work from there too? Will this eventually lead to conflicting stuff? (Two machines, same identical cloned start up drive??).
    Eventually, the plan is that I learn how to do all this so I can move on and upgrade with a clean install of Yosemite pretty soon.
    Hopefully, both my Mac Pro’s 2008 A and B will last me a bit more and I can get to squeeze a few more seasons from them. They are awesome machines!
    As you can tell, in theory I might have a little bit of a clue, but all is in the details. If you don’t mind, please shed some light on this process I am about to begin…thanks a bunch!

    Thank you!

    All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
    OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
    If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
    I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
    Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
    Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
    Erase the target and try again.
    But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
    Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
    Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me. I wonder if I could access the Apple Store with my ID though...it's all under my name in that computer though, so I figure that at the Apple Store I'd just enter my ID...I guess, I have not tried that yet
    Yes.

  • Satellite A100-207: Is it possible to upgrade graphic card for gaming

    Hi
    I am looking to buy the Toshiba A100-207 laptop and it comes with 128MB of shared graphics.
    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could upgrade the graphics (such as a nvidia card that I could buy and put in) or are the graphics fixed?
    I would just like to know if I am able to upgrade?
    Thankyou

    Hi
    In my opinion the graphic card and/or the CPU is not soldered on the new notebook generation. The parts should be simply plugged on the board.
    But this does not change the upgrade situation.
    Possibly you will be able to remove the graphic card but Im sure you will get compatibility problems with other hardware.
    The stronger graphic card produces more warmness and the temperature would increases automatically to a higher level. This would lead to the overheating issue and the notebook would either shut down or not starts.
    The desktop PC technology is simply different as on the notebooks. You can also not compare the different graphic cards. Notebook manufactures uses only the graphic card chips which dont supports an own cooling module.
    Simply said its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.

  • How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum extract.

    Hello
    How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum performance. I would be interested how far one could come close to the performance of the new Mac Pro 2013, or is it hopeless.
    My computer
    Mac Pro
    mid-2010
    Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 14 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Please excuse my english is not the best because.

    For what apps?
    Okay, you have the slower 2.4GHz processors, most have found that MHz still rule and matter, meaning a 6-core 3.4GHz for some applications (most) was the best and the sweet spot.
    So you could upgrade to a pair of 3.2GHz 4-core (cheapest) rather than splurge on two 6-core 3.34GHz (more expensive and more cores).
    First thing to do, put the system on a 256GB Samsung 840 SSD.
    For photoshop and graphics, invest in some more SSD ($US300 for 500GB) and put those on a PCIe SSD controller ($300 Sonnet Tempo Pro) and put Aperture/Lightroom on one, and use the 2nd SSD for scratch.
    RAM: 24-32GB would probably help all but the more casusalist of user.
    Tips and articles:
    http://www.macperformanceguide.com head to the TOPICS main page and there are dozens of sections each a different area of upgrade and optimization for applications. Storage, memory, how to, use arrays, backup strategy.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the motherboar​d/graphics in my dv7-4177nr​?

    When I first bought this laptop it had decent, not great, performance in regards to video game graphics capabilities.  Requirements for video games are constantly evolving and my graphics card is no longer sufficient for new games.  I was wondering if it is at all possible to upgrade the integrated graphics (ATI Radeon HD 5470, I believe) of my dv7-4177nr by purchasing a new motherboard.  If so, what are some model numbers of compatible motherboards?  I would really like to avoid the purchase of a new PC/laptop as this one is only about 1.5 years old I think.
    Thanks!

    Yes it is.... I own a dv7-4177nr myself and talked at length with HP... if you can find the right motherboard (oem) and don't mind doing the work yourself it is doable. Keep in mind you have to swap out the motherboard (mobo) with another because the gpu and sundry is built into the mobo and not detachable like a desktop setup. Also if all you want is a gpu upgrade and are lucky enough to have a PCI card slot there are several options that you can upgrade your gpu to a desktop gpu which eliminates the need to swap motherboards and just run a graphics card (gpu) for gaming or streaming purposes...

  • Is it possible to upgrade graphics card in my S410?

    I've bought a IdeaPad S410, equipeed with i5-4210U 1.70 GHz , Intel HD Graphics (Intergrated) and Radeon R5 M230. I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade my R5 M230 to a better Graphics card, perhaps R7 M260?
    Any reply is greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance..

    hi MizARe3,
    Looking at the S410 hardware layout (page 59-60 of the hardware maintenance manual), the CPU and the discrete Radeon R5 M230 are both integrated to the motherboard, thus, you can't separately upgrade the discrete GPU.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • Is it possible to upgrade GPU for I5-4288U HP pavilion 15?

    Pretty much as the title says, is it possible to upgrade graphic card on my laptop or is there chance for multiple gpu? I founded out that I have strong enough processor but the graphic card is lacking in performance. Thx for help

Consumer Laptop video comes "AS IS" not upgrades that only comes with board swap with a higher graphics chipset if available for that particular model. What info are you getting this from?

  • Is it possible to upgrade a Powerbook's video card?

    I presently have a 1.33GHz Powerbook G4 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 / 64MB VRAM. Is there any way to upgrade my video card? I just bought Aperture, and after two days of testing, the performance would allow one to play with Aperture, but its just too slow and chunky to use for productivity.
    However, in discussions with someone that has another Powerbook config, it appears that his ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 / 128MB VRAM is working out just fine with Aperture and runs smoothly.
    Is there any possible way to upgrade my Powerbook's video card? About 6 months ago I called AppleCare support and asked about this for a different reason and they told me I had to buy a new Powerbook if I wanted to new video card. Are there other options available now?
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to upgrade internal HD on 2nd Gen Blackbook??

    Is it possible to upgrade internal HD on 2nd Gen Blackbook?? I spoke to an apple reseller & he told me that 160 is as big as u can go on the macbook. is this true?
    thanks

    This is the drive http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=377
    The 250 GB drives were like this when they first came out and they are better priced and easy to find now. You can check here OWC MacBook Ram and Hard drives for ideas of what can be bought easily. You may have comparable stores in australia. One other thing is size restraints. Below are the sizes you need to watch for. There are some drives that are 13mm high. They won't fit. It has to be 9.5 mm.
    English
    Height: 0.374 ±0.008 inch
    Length: 3.94 ±0.010 inch
    Width: 2.75 ±0.010 inch

  • Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac

    Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac?

    Yes but it's definitely not advised. If you have a machine newer than 2009 Apple uses drives that have integrated heat sensors. This makes upgrading much more difficult but not impossible. If you have a machine still under warranty then definitely DO NOT do this yourself as you may void the warranty not to mention it isn't for the faint of heart. Take the machine to an AASP to have the work done, you will need to find one in your area willing to do so.
    If you are considering a new machine then simply buy the configuation you need.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the ram and hard drive on the new retina after purchase ?

    hi i was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my macbook pro retina display to a bigger ram and hard drive or will i be stuck with 8 gb of ram and 256 gb hard drive?

    Sorry to say, you're stuck with it.
    If however, you just got your Retina, you have a 14 Day return/exchange in case you want something with more memory and a larger flash drive.
    Here's a suggestion - you'll be fine with 8GB since most people are still running on 4GB of RAM.  Why not just buy an external drive and save your files there so you don't fill up your flash drive in your Retina.
    Again, just a suggestion.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the iMac G3 (1998) to an iMac with Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion ?

    Is it possible to upgrade the iMac G3 (1998) to an iMac with Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion ?

    The 1998 iMac predates the introduction of Firewire.  So yes, it is limited to 10.3.9.  Sonnett did offer an upgrade to the iMac to allow it to have Firewire.  I don't know if this enabled 10.4 or not.   XPostfacto also offered unsupported 10.4 for older iMacs.   But Spotlight and Dashboard are very slow if you can't upgrade to a minimum of 256 MB of RAM, and preferably 512MB of RAM.   Look at http://www.everymac.com/ to find out your Max.
