Possible to increase broadband speed?

I'm currently on BT Unlimited and our speed currently averages about 6mbps. I did a speedchecker test and at some point in the last few months we can apparently get between 10-17mbps which would be a massive upgrade considering there are 8 people in my house.
While I'm at it, I have an issue with pings. My house has quite a few people using the connection at once; is there any way to throttle the traffic on the connection to protect the ping and quality of the connection rather than push all the data through at once causing high pings?
Cheers.

Hi to answer the second part of your post first there is no way to throttle your connection
Ifyou post your hub stats that will enable us to see what sort of connection speed you should be able to achieve to do that enter 192.168.1.254 into your browser address bar then navigate to adsl someone here can advise what to do next

Any possibility of increasing fan speed on dv5 1045tx

I want to increase the fan speed because my dv5 1045tx gets too hot. On idle my cpu ranges from 45Cto 55C and my gpu stays at about 60C. When I play any game(like cod4 on highest and lowest graphics settings) my laptop's gpu goes up to 91C to 98C and cpu going to about 80C to 90C. Old games like prince of persia warrior within bring my cpu up to 95C to 98C. Without being able to increase fan speeds, I lost my freedom of playing games. Can someone please help?
Used speedfan to check temps

Many times a laptop overheating is directly related to the cooling of the processor. The main culprit is the fan. The fan sucks in air from the bottom and blows it out the side. It will also suck in hair, dust, and other debris. That stuff often gets trapped by the heat sink and over time builds up in a layer which chokes off the cool air going to the processor making the fan work harder.
Check this out:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01657439&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
What I recommend is getting some canned air and blowing out the vents in the side and bottom of the laptop. If after doing this you still have problems with over-heating, and your laptop is in warranty, you can take your laptop to a HP Authorized Service Center and ask them to clean the fan and heatsink. You can check your warranty here:
http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/ewarranty/warrantyResults.do?admit=109447627+1286541891570+28353475
If it is out of warranty, consider searching for the maintenance manual for your specific model, in the manual there are schematics for taking apart the laptop. Cleaning the fan is much easier that removing a motherboard, so don't feel to intimidated by the idea. Also you can remove the heatsink and then remove the thermal grease and apply a new layer which also helps alleviate heat related issues.

Is it possible to increase upload speeds?

My upload speed is reported as being 0.31mbps by BT's own speed tester, and checking with speedtest.net gave a somewhat similar 0.34mbps today (though this moves around a lot between 0.05 and 0.25 normally).
Is there a way of boosting this?
I've read about line speed capping, is this something that folks know how to verify?

Are you connected to the test socket? With your attenuation and a good line i would expect a connection speed in region of 13mb. Your upstream speed may well increase to .8/1mb at the next reset

Will broadband speed increase if i change to infi...

Well here i am again.
posted topic on broadband forum will my line speed increase if i change to infinity - as infinity speed up to 78 Mb/s now available on my line - According to BT ?
was skeptical - but decided to order BT infinity and report back
Herein is report.
Order accepted - line siutable for infinity.
Open reach engineer came to connect me this morning.
Guess what? back to my old broadband at 0.5 Mb/s
Unable to connect me to infinity, signal refused to sync apparently.
Openreach engineer thinks i have too much copper wire btween me and the fibre optic cabinet - 6.7 kms he reckons. whivch was my point originally but asuccession of BT departments assured me Infinity was available and would work on my line .
so iam back where i started. although i do know now where my nearest cabinet is
left with just a few questions really ?
Why did BT write to me suggesting change to infinity?
Why on BT site if i type number in does it say Infinity availableup to 78 Mb/s?
why did BT sales accept my order without apparently checking line speed?
Has anyone any thoughts on my next move?
Presumably Bt sales will come back to me .
The whole saga reflects badly On BT

i seem to be repeating myself here here is what the checker says:-

BT always offers you the best speed possible on your line.The speed prediction we have given here is an estimate, however download speeds can vary and the actual download speed will fall within a range. The range is an indication of the speed that other similar lines across the UK have achieved for their broadband service; this is generally within 1-2 Mb higher or lower than your single estimated speed quoted.
The actual speed is dependent on several factors such as the product option you choose, the processing power of your computer,how many people are using your broadband connection at the same time,whether you use a wireless or cable connection,the speed of the websites that you visit and how we're managing the network. Speeds can be lower at peak times - peak times are evenings and weekends.
In the first ten days you may see your speed go up and down. When using a postcode only (rather than a telephone number) the checker results are less accurate. It uses a best guess of where you live based on the centre point of the postcode and not the exact routing of the line to your address, and so the result must be treated with caution. When we are able to provide a date for future fibre availability, it is indicative only and subject to change.''
The fact is this is not the case , the Bt wholesale checker for my number gives a similar reply:

Will a new router increase my broadband speed in this configuration

How much (if at all) can I increase my broadband speed by getting a faster router. Here's my config:
DSL line --> DSL modem --> Lynksys BEFSR41 Router --> Ethernet cat-5 wiring in house --> TimeCapsule WiFi
The computers using this network are an Intel iMac (10.6), a PowerPC iMac (10.4), and two Intel MacBooks (10.6).
The modem/router are located in an in-wall distribution box in a utility room. I want to keep the hardwired ethernet available in case the WiFi quits temporarily. The TimeCapsule is in a good location (top shelf bookcase on first floor) for coverage of my 2-story house. In principle could eliminate the Lynksys modem, and use the TC as the primary router, but it would be difficult to physical locate the TC where it could both distribute to the house ethernet and have good radio reception.
Testing via the hardwire ethernet (using Speakeasy and speedtest.net) shows download and upload speed 1.27Mbps and 0.32Mb/s. My ISP is pacbell.net. I get the same result via my W-Fi. Speedtest.net tells me my result is about 40% of the average for pacbell.net to my zip code 94301.
I've heard there are much faster routers than the BEFSR41, but I don't know if my internet speed is limited by my current router or by pacbell's DSL service.
Any insights would be appreciated.

Will a new router increase my broadband speed
No...your speed is only going to be as fast as your weekest link, which in your case is the DSL modem and the connection speed package you subsribe to.

Sudden vast increase in broadband speed

Hi, the last couple of days or so I've noticed my internet dropping off and when it happened again tonight, I ran a speed test, both on wholesale tester and speedtest.net, and instead of the usual 5meg that i normally get, im now getting 14megs.
my exchange (ESJED)is currently being converted to 21cn wbc (according to samknows) with an end date of this month.
is this whats caused my sudden increase in speed?

This is what I'm trying to find out though. Ive not been notified that I'm getting moved to anything new since I was moved to adslmax in august. Its only been because my broadband has been dropping maybe 4-5 times in the last week that I was concerned that I might have a slow speed. Sometimes Ive had to reboot the router completely, sometimes its came back on of its own accord.
In any case, I do in fact leave the router on 24/7 anyway. The only time it gets reset is when the connection drops completely and wont return, or if, for some strange reason, my house lights flicker.. then it kills my connection then too.

Tried everything to increase BT Broadband speed ov...

Quick background story to my question
Used to live a few hundred metres from the exchange. Had BE* for years. Life was good. T'internet was superspeedyfast. In time, we needed a new place to live. Wife and I moved to new house almost just before Christmas 2009. Life was good. T'internet was crappysuperslow. Discovered exchange was in different town 3.2km away (by the road at least) from my new house. Not a huge deal, I'll deal with slower speeds. So I was happy with around 300kb/s+ d/l on the week of activation.
Then t'internet got quickly slower. I phoned BT India. They were actually quite helpful! End result was engineer appeared in my house sometime later. Engineer and his apprentice were awesomewickedsauce and dead pleasant and helpful. They together discovered a few things such as star wiring, crappy old BT face plates, and dodgy extensions (put there by previous owners). I agreed that it could all be ripped out for the sake of making things better. Sync was up to around 2.6mbs (don't recall exactly, but was over 300 kb/s download speed as before).
I finished reading the BT Speed Wizard tonight. End result was mostly everything that it suggested had been done over the past year, but just to be sure, I spent time scrubbing around making sure the wire from i-plate to homehub is not running alongside or near to any power cables, phones etc (hence the short uptime on stats below).
My Set Up
External wire enters property directly in to newly i-plated socket. No extension cables. Phone (digital cordless) to the left and Home-Hub V2 to the right (about five foot between them). Cable to router is along the wall high up away from any other cables. Cat5e cable connects my PC to the router (plugged in to port 4). There is a wireless PC but it's switched off just now. I don't have BTFON enabled.

It has been like this for a while now more or less (have seen SNR up to 13.9), but I've been too busy to have time to think about it in any detail (<3 Christmas holidays).
I have been reading through various forums and links this evening.
I tried http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php which suggested I should have an IP Profile of 3000kbs.
Also, I read this thread, and the guy there has similar stats to me: http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Slow-speeds/td-p/92315 and he was syncing around 3200kbs.
I know it's never going be a blistering fast line with current crappy exchange and no FTTL in the foreseeable future, but a few hundred extra KB/s would be the difference during peak-time between my family not being able to go online at the same time without impacting one anothers experience, or being able to stream an 360p vid on you-tube without it stuttering onscreen.
The Questions / TLDNR
Other than moving house is there anything I can do to increase the speed? I'm reluctant to call BT India. I don't think there's anything new to report on the internal setup since the BT engineer was on-site earlier this year. Waiting to see the profile increase doesn't seem to help as I've been sitting on this problem for months now. If anything was going to happen it would have happened by now surely? Should I just be thankful for what I got? Could switching ISP yield better results or would that be worse (not a huge choice at the local exchange)? what about upgrading the router? How about switching to a business tarrif to take advantage of a lower contention ratio?
I'll post another speedtest in the morning.
Any hints or tips you can give would be most gratefully received.

Hi Imjolly,
Thanks for input, much appreciated. I'm still grasping at the fundamentals of all the stats and how to interpret them, so it really helps to have others input. The fact that a 3G mobile has a faster d/l speed is maddening. I'd like to ensure I've tried everything possible to improve the connection with BT before I start looking elsewhere or just wait until O2 mobile only will do the job and remove the landline completely.
I understand that with a longer line length, SNR margin is higher to allow greater headroom across the longer distance, but that each point of SNR is worth more than a few KB. If they are overcompensating at the exchange side and I have a higher SNR than is required, there is hope for me yet. Though with error seconds creeping up, perhaps that's why they have to maintain a higher margin
Also with respects to connection uptime. I was moving cables around just to ensure power cords that could be interfering with the wire from router to i-plate were out of the way. I had to unplug it at that point to untangle some of the cables. Previous to that I'd been away for Christmas, so was switched off.
Otherwise it stays on 24/7. Problem is that it's been connected for weeks at a time and it's never gotten back to what I witnessed early days and after the engineer visit.
here's the stats a few more hours on.

Very Slow Broadband Speed for 2 months, and very U...

Hi
I know exactly how you feel (Giza). I took out BT Total Broadband and had it installed on 02/12/2010. Day one I have 6.75 mbps, which was great as my previous provider only gave me 5 mbps max. So I was well please.
Then day two it dropped to 4.35 mbps, not much to worry about, just though as it was Friday the network would be busy. Then on day 3, I was getting 0.65 mbps, and I have battling with BT ever since.
I have had the usual c**p from BT in India about moving the router due to interference etc, but of course non of them worked. Finally they advised I needed an engineer to come out, so I booked it for next working day between8am and 1pm, he arrived at 12.45, so a good job I took the day off work.
All he did was re-wire by master socket, called a help desk and told them to reset my IP profile, and was going in 30 minutes. He just told me to keep and eye on my speed as it should get faster within 5 hours. 48 hours later still at 0.65 mbps. So once again called BT to be told they are still working on the problem and will contact me when it is fixed. Two week later, still no increase in speed.
So I called them and they apologise for not getting back to but they were very busy. Their solution was that I needed another engineer to visit. So again I book the next available slot, but this time for afternoon slot 13.00 to 18.00 hours, so I only need half a day off work (obviously BT don't realise people work).
He arrived at 13.45, and he seem very knowledgeable to the other guy, and he even advised he had worked for BT for over 28 years. He check the line coming into the house first then the same test at my socket, and advised there was not problems there and my line was above average quality and I was on a ADSL2 21C exchange (whatever that means), so he decided to go to the cabinet at the end of the my street, he was gone about 45 mins. He came back to advise it appeared I was cross-communicating with another circuit. He did another line test, but had to call the help desk to reset my line again as it was not giving his little box of tricks access to my full capacity.
Buy the time he was done it was 17.45, and had got me up to 10.9 mbps hand-shake with the exchange (I was so please I could have kissed him), and rang through to another help desk to reset my IP profile again to increase my speed, but as it finished at 18.00 he waited to see if it was done, but did say it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours for the request to be processed.
So left the computer on, and did some chores. Now when he left my router had been connected for over an hour and a half and he advised there should be no reason for it reset. At 18.15 the router crashed, when it came back the hand-shake had gone down to 9.6 mbps, but my speed was still at 0.65 mbps. Then at 6.30 the router crashed again, then again, and again. Finally came back on at about 19.00. The hand-shake had come back at only 4.55 mbps.
Then at 19.30 I got a call from BT to say they were calling to see if I was happy with the service and had the engineer fixed the problem. Funnily enough just as they called the router crashed again. So I advised them of the above, and was told to do a hard reset on the router (use a paper click to press the reset button). Waited till I was re-connected. I was then told to test my speed at speedtest.net. Which I did, and I was getting, wait for it 2.35 mbps. The woman on the end of the phone advised, there you go it is fixed.
To which I clearly advised was not the case, and I should be getting 8.5 mbps as per the engineers advised. She all she could say was she needed to speak to the technical team and call me back. Which I was surprised she did at 20.20. Next action is to have another engineer come out and check the fault.
So now I am on my 3rd engineers visit, booked for this Friday afternoon. I did call the help desk, and asked for my service to be cancelled as I was that mad and upset about the service, but was told that as it was not BT's fault over my speed (god know's who's fault it is) I would need to pay for the remaining 15 months of my 18 month contract, but if I got the engineer to note on my account on Friday that it was their fault, I could cancel free of charge.
So been at work all day today, and though I would check my speed. Hand-shake now at 1.15 mbps, and my speed is at 0.65 mbps once again.
While writing this, I did not notice my Hub has once again crashed, and is just sat on yellow for Broadband. Of course if you are reading this I got it re-connected.

Good fun isn't it

Broadband Speeds

Until recently i have been achieving broadband speeds of between 6.0MB and 7.1MB over the last 12 months
See copy of speed test done on 17th May 2011
We have had work done recently at our exchange Knock Belfast and the broadband checker results have shown I should now be able to get 15MB to 17MB broadband speed
I have been on the phone a couple of times regarding this and have noticed far from increasing speed my broadband speed has substantially reduced. Speed reading today 04/06/2011 3.4MB

Very slow broadband speeds

Hello
My first post, and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this.
For a few days now, I've been experiencing very slow broadband speeds (100kbps or less), in contrast to the 1.5 - 2Mbps that I would usually expect to get. I've been on hold to BT technical support for some time, and have got through twice, on both occasions being told that this is a widespread issue and to wait until the next day. However, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm aware of the problems in Edinburgh and the North of England,but I'm in East Anglia.
speedtester.bt.com shows:
Your configured download throughput speed for this service is 135 k
and then:
Two consecutive attempts have failed to initialise an Assured Rate session for your service.Please raise a fault with your service provider stating that the Performance Tester tool indicated a problem with initialising your Assured Rate session. <script type="text/javascript">// paintProgressAndMessageTestBar(-1,""); paintProgressAndMessageOnBar(-1,'An Error has Occured!

Deej.

Once a line is stable and working well, it's best left running 24/7
Interventions like resets, replacing accelerators, unplugging the router etc. will cause line "flapping"
And the dslam sees this as instability, and in turn the BRAS lowers the IP profile ....
This is done to achieve stability, and decrease throughput purposefully, all done automatically.
What you have to do, is cure any line noise, plug directly into the master or test socket behind the NTE
faceplate, leave it connected and wait for the throughput to increase.
Very often a rock bottom IP may need a kick to get it out of the doldrums.
Eventually the noise margin will decrease, sync will increase, and IP profile go up.
Depending on how long the line has suffered impulse noise, will determine the time for SNR to come down.
Regardless of which type of phone you used to test quietline ... hum or crackle is a no-no.
It may be the cause of the problems. It could be REIN on the network portion of the connection or dslam
crosstalk, either way it needs to be reported as line noise before you can count it out of the equation.

Broadband speed is low.

Hi,
I did a speedtest on the 1st and it showed I was getting 16mb DL speed however in the past couple of days I have only been recieving 3-4mb sometimes even slower.
I checked my status through ADSL settings and was wondering if the noise on the line is the problem:

HI welcome to the forum
Yes your noise is the problem that has risen because of disconnections
can you please try the quiet line test at the test socket located inside the master socket dial 17070 select option 2 you should hear no noise if you do then you need to phone bt faults on 151 and report a noisy line but do not mention broadband when you call increases in noise margin can also be caused by manually restarting the hub have you been doing that in the hopes of increasing speed if so please stop as restarts of the hub are the worse thing you can do this link may also help the post by RogerB gives lots of suggestions to try as well http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397

No increase in speed with parallel processing on quad-core

I'm using the NI Vision vi "IMAQ correct calibrated image" on quite a large image. This takes about 0,09 seconds to complete, and only uses 1 core of my computer. (25% cpu time) I always need to correct two images, so I made two parallel execution lines, expecting that I would get 50% cpu usage (i.e. two cpu's used), and still 0,09 seconds to complete.
However, it takes 0,18 seconds to complete, with 25% cpu usage. It seems the code is not executing in parallel...
I checked the Vision vi, and it's simply a wrapper to a DLL call. I think I remember hearing once that dll calls are single-threaded... Is that the reason why I don't see any increase in speed? Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

This is no good news then.
But maybe you can introduce parallelism on your own?
Depending on the algorithm, you are using, you CAN split up the image on your own and make calls on the algorithm for each fraction and then put the (altered) fractions together to a new image again. I have not tried something like this, so in the worst case, it does even slow things down.
Nevertheless, if the image is large enough (so "split up" and "merging" overhead is negligible) AND the DLL itself can be called parallel (not sure if this works), you could possibly see some performance increase...

Ofcom wants to ban misleading broadband speed ads

Ofcom is seeking to stop internet service providers from advertising unrealistic broadband speeds.
Currently most ISPs advertise services as 'up to' a certain speed - for instance, 20Mbps (megabits per second).
But Ofcom's latest research finds that very few consumers actually get these headline speeds.
Ofcom's latest research into broadband speeds found that just 14% of customers on 'up to' 20Mbps services received speeds of over 12Mbps, while 58% averaged speeds of 6Mbps or less.
Cable and fibre services fared better, with 92% of V***** M**** customers on an 'up to' 50Mbps service averaging 45.6Mbps.
BT's Fibre-to-the-Cabinet technology, which is currently available to 15% of UK homes, has an average of 31.8Mbps on the 40Mbps service.
BT is not impressed with Ofcom's idea.
"We have real concerns with their approach. Broadband speeds vary from line to line and so it is meaningless to use one speed for advertising. That is why we use the term 'up to'," said John Petter, managing director of BT Retail.
He said he thought such a policy "would encourage digital exclusion rather than tackle it".
"Enforcing typical speed ranges is also dangerous as it could encourage more ISPs to cherry pick customers who will increase their average, leaving customers in rural and suburban areas under-served," he said.

I feel 'Up to' is acceptable, 'Maximum product speed' (with the usual caveats about line length, quality, etc) would be better when advertised alongside a minimum product speed guarantee, say 2Mb/s.
Far more pernicious are 'Unlimited' claims (which Ofcom/ASA are also investigating) - any service which is advertised as 'Unlimited' and has ARTIFICIAL constraints placed upon it is not unlimited!
Blaming users for actually using the product they have purchased and restricting 'heavy' users is disingenuous! IF a package is described as unlimited then the available bandwidth should be shared equally between those users contending it rather than the more common 'you've exceeded your permitted bandwidth of this unlimited product... we're restricting you to speed X during peak times.'
Such restrictions are not for the benefit of the other customers... if memory serves, residential bandwidth is contended 50:1 (or thereabouts)... if the ISP has insufficient bandwidth to accomodate a serviceable connection to each of those users simultaneously that is the ISP's problem but which would they prefer to, potentially, lose? A few 'heavy' users or fifty customers for having the audacity to expect some minimum level of service?

Possible to increase rate of rotation over time?

I need to simulate something similar to the effect of a car wheel rotating, strictly in 2-D, a totally flat side-view. The complication is that I need the "wheel" to be stopped at first, then slowly ramp up speed over time until it reaches a maximum rate. Is it possible to increase the rate of rotation over time? I have tried creating a constant-rate rotation, then exporting as a Quicktime and applying a speed ramp to the mixdown. This looks terrible.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Also, I may post this over at the FCP board, in case anyone there has an idea.
John

Actually, that's not true for FCP or Motion. You can set a keyframe at 0 rotation, and then another at the point where you want the rotation to be a full speed and a third keyframe at the end of your animation. Then just right-click the 1st keyframe in the keyframe editor and choose Interpolation: Bezier.
From there, it's just a matter of adjusting the curve until you have the ramp that you're looking for.
In FCP, you can add keyframes in much the same way in the Motion tab. Then you right-click the 1st keyframe and choose Smooth from the menu. This will give you a bezier handle that you can adjust to create a ramp.
I suggest using Motion though as it's a little easier to add and adjust keyframes.

Slow Broadband Speed

Hello Whom May Consent
I have just found out that I am not the only one have problem with BT broadband speed. Many people seem to have problem with their slow Internet speed due to the exchange problem. That’s good, because after 10 calls to BT, I still don’t know what the problem with my broadband. So let me tell you what the problem is.
My Internet speed suddenly got very slow (0.4mb) since the morning of 05/11/2010. I thought this was just temporary problem with the Internet speed and nothing should be worry about. The next day, I still face the same Internet speed (0.4mb) which is ridiculous when you pay 25 pound per month. Therefore I took action and made a call to BT customer service. I am sure I dial the right number to an “ENGLISH” company and somehow the line goes to INDIA. Strange~~~
The guy on the phone question me 10mins to check my identity and ask me lots of stupid question like have you try to connect your computer with wire instead of wireless or have you try to change the filter for my Internet connection etc. In the end, the India guys on the phone told me after 24hours my connection should back on the normal speed (5mb). Guess what, it didn't’t.
Clearly I was very angry and made a call back to “India” again to find out that was the problem with my Internet. This time the India guy on the phone seems to know the problem and very helpful. He told me that there was engineering work by my area on the “BT Infinity” which slows my broadband down and this work should be done by Friday 12/11/2010. The India guy even made a promise that he will call me back on Saturday morning 13/11/2010 to check the Internet speed.
Guess what, the India guy let me down. Not just he breaks his promise that he didn't’t call, my Internet speed is still 0.4mb. I was so frustrated at this point and made the call to BT for the third time. I went through the same procedure (10mins of ID check) and this time India guy told me there is a problem with my local exchanger and will get the engineer to fix it. Again, he promised me that he will solve the problem within 24hours.
Sadly the problem is still unsolved. I called BT again. The India woman on the phone told me this time she need to send an engineer to my house on Tuesday on 16/10/2010. At this point I was so angry that I said something very bad to the India woman (I am sorry) but still agree to wait for the engineer to come to my house all morning (missed all lectures).
Long story short, engineer comes and nothing has changed and today 20/11/2010, the engineer comes again to try and solve the problem with my Internet speed. What all his done is change my telephone filter and nothing has changed. Internet speed is still is still 0.4mb. I have been told by the India guy on the phone after the engineer visit that my line is been investigated by the engineers and the engineer will call me tomorrow 21/11/2010.
I just hope this time the problem can be solved otherwise I will cancelled the BT broadband and get my money back for this month’s broadband usages.
PS if they charge me any money for the engineer visit, I will make sure who ever pickups my complain call to feel suffer
