Question about BT "unlimited faster broadband"

We have recently had FTTC availability in our area and my line is quite long, the checker says we can get 9-14mbps down and 800kbps to 1mbps upload. I was wondering if the upload speed is capped at 1mbps on this package or if it will go as fast as it can depending on how fast it is syncing. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

not capped at 1mb but from checker probably will be there or thereabouts
it is basically infinity but because your down speed is less than 15mb you cannot get infinity but can get broadband with fibre

  • Unlimited Faster Broadband

    I've recently been upgraded to UFB which included replacing a Hub2 with a Hub5.  According to the engineer, the Hub2 could still be used on the new circuit, as a backup in case of Hub5 failure.  However the Hub2 will not connect to the internet.
    1) Is there a method of connecting the Hub2 to the UFB circuit?
    2) If not, what would happen if I decide to use another ISP?

    This product iI think is the FTTC product but because your connection speed was estimated at 15mb or less you cannot get infinity but can get unlimited faster broadband. If that is the case then the hh2 which is adsl won 't work

  • Quick question about Recent Unlimited News

    I was just woundring if the old customers that had broadband before the Recent Unlimited Changes. Will they have the changes added to ther accounts? E.g. BT Total Broadband Option 2. because the 40gb package has been made unlimited on the website.

    Hi Lewis1871.
    I think the new changes only apply to new customers that have ordered BT Broadband after 1st February 2013.
    However another forum member maybe able to give you more information.
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers

  • Questions about Assumption of Liability and device to be used for unlimited data plan

    This is my first post on here. I have an opportunity that someone I know is willing to transfer his smartphone plan with unlimited data to me. I have read extensively on here and other sites and gathered some information, and also heard of many complications and questionable losses of unlimited data plans when making various types of changes to devices or services. Some of what I read may be outdated as well if Verizon has made changes in their policies, so I will start with the most obvious question: as of this date, is an AOL possible while keeping the unlimited data plan intact?
    If so, here are some other questions I have:
    -Will I receive a new SIM card by mail or do I need to use my friend's old SIM card?
    -If my ultimate end goal is to use laptop, do I have to connect through a smartphone (and is there any additional charge for that, or would it change the plan), or can I put the SIM card in a mobile hotspot such as the MHS291L and use only the data portion of the plan?
    -After getting the plan, is there any way I can get TWO SIM cards - one for a mobile hotspot, and the other strictly for voice and text? If so, how much extra would that cost?
    -If we went to a Verizon store to do this transfer or AOL, how can we be absolutely certain it goes smoothly, that no one makes any unauthorized plan changes and does not lose the unlimited data? I have unfortunately read some horror stories of it being lost in similar situations, no one seems to be accountable, and it winds up costing someone countless hours of struggle with Verizon to try to get it back (whether they are successful or not I don't know).
    -If at some point the SIM card was lost (such as if I lost the device), can it be replaced without affecting the plan?
    For what it's worth (especially for those working for Verizon), I am not looking for a way to hog up absurd amounts of data but simply to be able to do the basic stuff I need to online and maybe watch a movie once in a while without having really huge bills. Even if I used the internet without giving data consumption a second thought, I doubt I'd go much over 25-30GB most months.
    Thanks to whoever can provide me with information.

    Hi NicandroN_VZW, sorry i did not see your reply in time but thank you just the same. I called the number for the AOL department and they were able to help me with it pretty easily and answer most of my questions
    I do have a couple other questions regarding the unlimited data plan on smartphones. I have seen various comments regarding these things online, and i can make a good guess about what "might work," but i'm really looking to know Verizon's official policy on these things, if one exists. In case any non-verizon employees are able to provide this information as well, if you have references to where i can find it in writing that would be helpful.
    First, i realize there is an optional $30 fee for mobile hotspot use. But does Verizon have any policy about whether this fee must be paid if i connect only via a USB cable (since it would not actually be a "hotspot," and could not connect multiple devices)?
    And my other question is, if i do opt to pay the $30 hotspot fee, is there any policy either for or against using that SIM card in a 4g hotspot such as the MHS291L?
    PS i am asking these things here rather than by PM because, given the wide range of opinions which can be found online and that others have looked into similar things, i am sure other people could also benefit from knowing Verizon's policy regarding these things.

  • Super Fast Broadband Coming Close By

    Hey,
    I've just moved house, which doesn't have Super fast broadband yet. But, I noticed that an area close to me (about 2-2.5 miles away) will be getting SFB soon (scheduled for December 2014).
    My question is will this be able to spread out this far to me (2-3 mile) for me to receive fast broadband or not?
    Thanks
    Craig

    you will be to far at 2/3 mls

  • Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

    My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
    1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
    2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
    I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
    Thanks

    1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
    2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
    I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
    With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

  • Some question about International Travel

    Ok so i know alot of people have question about international travel weather is USA to Canada, Canada to USA or where ever.
    So i just got off the phone with someone from AT&T these are my questions for them. i hope it can help, im confuse myself.
    *1. I travel recently travel to canada a few weeks ago, when i cross the boarder i switch the data roaming ON and it picks up Rogers Wireless, a few days ago i try i again it said NO SERVICE is something wrong with my iPad?*
    NO, consider yourself lucky u didnt get charge for that roaming, your ipad well not work out of the US unless u buy one of our International plans that AT&T has provided. The reason for this is so you wont have any unwanted charge or high charge on your bill.
    *2. If i was to buy a sim card from Canada and pop it in to my US ipad well it work?*
    Honestly that's something you can try at your own risk, it's design for AT&T so by switching sim cards it may affect your ipad such as running slow, virus, crash. You can try it, i dont work for Rogers so i know nothing about them, i work for AT&T so i can only tell you about our plans and i wont lie to you.(I THINK U JUST DID) This ipad is not unlock just like the iphone so it well only work with AT&T.
    *3. If i pop my sim card out and put in an international sim card well it affect my plan at all or in any way?*
    Yes it can, right now your on the unlimited plan if you put in a different sim card and then re-put in ur AT&T one chances are you're going to loose your unlimited plan and have to settle for the newer plan. That's why AT&T has reduce it's international plans so people are more likely to use it. It's a contract we sign with Apple, if u want to use in canada you can always buy an Ipad in canada and use their plan. (***)
    At the end of this conversion i was just more angry with them. All in all she told bottom line is dont do anything stick with AT&T and pay for international plans. So i have to pay over price data plan if i want to use it intertanional? or i have to buy an ipad for each international places i go to?
    Has anyone try or done any of the 3 ive mention and did it affect ur plan or ipad in anyway?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Ok so here's a little more info
    I called AT&T again today asking them the same question the guy was more helpful then the one yesterday. Even though he kinda told me the same saying that the ipad need to be unlock. , Afterward he transfer me someone from Apple. The lady told me
    1. The ipad is UNLOCK so dont bother trying to get it unlock.
    2. she doesnt see why sticking in another sim card from one of the apple ipad carrier is a problem. U would just have to sign up activated it like u would when u first got it.
    3. Contact phone company (my case Rogers) to see if they carry the mico sim cards.
    4. She doesnt see why it would affect the current plan u have now.
    So at the end of all that she told me, seem like AT&T is just telling you, you cant do this or u shouldnt do that is simple THEY WANT YOU TO USE THEIR PLANS.
    so with that i said i just want to let everyone know. I'm gonna go pick my Micro sim cards from Canada in a bit and sign up for thier plan we'll keep everyone updated if anything change or how it work

  • A few questions about Patone colors

    I have a few questions about patone colors since this is the first time I use them. I want to use them to create a letterhead and business cards in two colors.
    1)
    I do understand that the uncoated is more washed out than the coated patone colors. I heard that this is because the way paper absorbs the inkt. This is why the same inkt results in different colors on different paper (right?). My question is why is the patone uncoated black so much different than normal black (c=0 m=0 y=0 k=100) or rich black:
    When I print a normal document with cmyk, I can get pretty dark black colors. Why is it that I cannot have that dark black color with patone colors? Even text documents printed on a cheap printer can get a darker color than the Patone color. It just looks way too grey for me.
    2) For a first mockup, I want to print the patone colors as cmyk (since I put like 10 different colors on a page for fast comparison). I know that these cmyk colors differ from the patone colors and that I cannot get a 100% representation. But is there a way to convert patone to cmyk values?
    I hope that some of you can help me out with my questions.
    Thanks.

    You can get Pantone's CMYK tints in Illustrator, (Swatches Panel > Open Swatch Library > Color Books > PANTONE+ Color Bridge Coated or Uncoated) but in my view, what's the point?  If you're printing to a digital printer, just use RGB (HSB) or CMYK. Personally, I never use Pantone's CMYK so-called "equivalents."
    Pantone colors are all mixed pigmented inks, many of which fluoresce beyond the gamut limits of RGB and especially CMYK. The original Pantone Matching System (PMS) was created for the printing industry. It outlined pigmented ink formulations for each of its colors.
    Most digital printers (laser or inkjet) use CMYK. The CMYK color gamut is MUCH SMALLER than what many mixed inks, printed on either coated or uncoated papers can deliver. When you specify non-coated Pantone ink in AI, according to Pantone's conversion tables, AI tries to "approximate" what that color will look like on an uncoated sheet, using CMYK. -- In my opinion, this has little relevance to real-world conditions, and is to be avoided in most situations.
    If your project is going to be printed on a printing press with spot Pantone inks, then by all means, use Pantone colors. But don't trust the screen colors; rather get a Pantone swatch book and look at the actual inks on both coated and uncoated papers, according to the stock you will use on the press.
    With the printing industry rapidly dwindling in favor of the web and inkjet printers, Pantone has attempted to extend its relevance beyond the pull-date by publishing (in books and in software alliances, with such as Adobe) its old PMS inks, and their supposed LAB and CMYK equivalents. I say "supposed" because again, RGB monitors and CMYK inks can never be literally equivalent to many Pantone inks. But if you're going to print your project on a printing press, Pantone inks are still very relevant as "spot colors."
    I also set my AI Preferences > Appearance of Black to both Display All Blacks Accurately, and Output All Blacks Accurately. The only exception to this might be when printing on a digital printer, where there should be no registration issues.
    Rich black in AI is a screen phenomenon, unless in Prefs > Appearance of Black, you also specify "Output All Inks As Rich Black," -- something I would NEVER do if outputting for an actual printing press. I always set my blacks in AI to "Output All Blacks Acurately" when outputting for a press. If you fail to do this, then on the press you will see any minor registration problems, with C, M, and Y peeking out, especially around black type.  UGH!
    Good luck!  :+)

  • A question about WLAN and processor speed

    Hi there! i'm looking at replacing my "old" Nokia E5-00. I'm thinking of the newer Nokia E6 or the Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 Android QWERTY phone.
    My stupid question is will a faster processor be of any help when it comes to opening/closing/downloading of apps?
    WIll a faster HSDPA and HSUPA capability mean that if if you want to make your phone as a wifi hotspot (via an app or via a built-in feature) is it an advantage?*
    * like comparing the 3 phones i mentioned.
    I just want to ask about your take on this one .
    Please help....

    A faster processor surely helps in a faster and quicker operations and multi-tasking but it depends upon the OS it runs. Android and Symbian are entirely different in application handling. Symbian doesn't need a high spec processor like Android devices. HSDPA and UPA are more iclined towards your operator, if your network service provider supports HSDPA&UPA and your phone too support it works well for Wi-fi tethering.

  • Some questions about importing HTML files

    Hi, folks
    Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
    1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
    2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
    2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
    3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
    I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
    Thanks a lot
    Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

    I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
    1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
    2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
    3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
    4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
    If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

  • Some random questions about integration features

    Greetings,
    after working for a few weeks with Autovue's ISDK (web server) and having some sucess with its integration with our custom CMS, I have a few random questions about what can be done and what can't be done. So, instead of opening many new threads, I'll post them here together.
    1) Translation. We are localised in Russia, and its translation is incomplete. I have found a tra_en.properties file in AutoVue/bin, and a description about how to create a properties file for custom actions. But no information about how to translate to other languages - and russian translation appears to be packed within the jar of the applet. Is there a clean way to translate, or refine the current translation, so we don't get a mix of russian and english commands in the applet? Because my tries using EXTRABUNDLES have failed, as I don't want to add a bundle for extra actions, but to replace it for existing ones.
    2) Attachments in markups. Markups allow to attach other files, but since our CMS is custom, we only get the option to attach files from our local drives. We did no browse integration with the CMS, as people with different levels of permission will have different access to files there, and we considered unnecessary to provide that level of integration. We are considering to remove this action from the GUI, but before that I'd like to evaluate how hard would it be to generate an upload file action, so the attached file would be stored in the custom CMS and linked to it so the whole thing worked. My guess is "it will be hard and time consuming", so for now, we are considering to delete this feature in our integration.
    3) Is there a way to resize the Open markup dialog? We have several properties displayed, and fit well within a standard screen, but the dialog is small and you have to scroll the table to see all properties.
    Thanks for any assistance with these issues

    As always, thanks for the fast answer, Artash.
    Yes, now I see attachments are stored inside the markup file. The problem is, when I open markup mode for the attachment, since the attachment uses some kind of default access method, my url's from the integration with the background CMS are broken completely. I believe the ideal state here would be to make some kind of inner markup for the attachment, maybe stored within the original markup file along the attached file. Or maybe it works that way, and I need to access it with the default gui action instead of my custom one. If that is the case, is there any way to tell the gui file how to differentiate a standard opened file from an attached one? If so, the issue has solution. If not... Well, then maybe something escapes me.

  • Questions about OLE containers

    Hello,
    I try to use an OLE container for save any type of documents, the majority are Microsoft Word (*.doc), Acrobat Reader (*.pdf) and images (*.jpeg, *.jpg, *.bmp, ...)
    I prove to insert a document an save it in the database and all works fine. The document is saved in a BLOB column, and if I try to activate the OLE container I view the document correctly, but I have questions about OLE container:
    1.- Once I saved the document into the database (the icon of the document is shown into the OLE container), if I query the database to retrieve the documents, the OLE container not shown the icon of the document, and if I try to activate the OLE container, making double-click, it doesn't make anything.
    I think that the query to the database don't retrieve correctly the documents into the OLE container.
    2.- Once I saved the document into the database (the icon of the document is shown into the OLE container), if I try to activate the OLE container, depend the document I need to do twice double-click to open the document.
    If I try to open a Word document (*.doc) it need one double-click to activate, but if I try to open an Acrobat document (*.pdf) it need twice double-click to activate.
    Why? How can I open any type of documents with one double-click?
    3.- The form that I develop will work in client-server and in web mode.
    The problem is that if I try to run the form into web mode with OLE container, I have an error:
    "FRM-92100: Se ha interrumpido la conexión con el Servidor. Puede ser el resultado de un error de red o fallo en el Servidor. Debe reestablecer la conexión", and if I click in Details I have "Java Exception: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ...".
    If I delete the OLE item, it works fine, and I don't have any errors.
    I know that OLE container doesn't works in web mode, because this I will develop this functionality with JavaBean, but I would like that in client-server mode works with OLE container.
    There are any way to do this, that in web mode doesn't has this error, and in client-server mode works with OLE container?
    Thank you very much

    2. If you use Time Machine you can't browse those pictures on the Movable DIsk. It's not designed to work like that.
    3. Don't use copy and paste, try drag and drop instead.
    You don't tell us how you are managing these photos. I suggest that you use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the everything. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Question About FireWire 800 port

    With the coming of these new Firewire ports I have a question about using my FireStudio Project, It uses normal Firewire, now will I need to buy a Adaptor, or does apple even make one?? Will this still work, I don't get why they had to change it anyway, I mean I know it's faster, but now it's just more adaptors I have to buy, that is if they even make one.

    There are plenty of adapters and cables out there. They're not that expensive ($5-$30). You can get a 9 pin to 6 pin firewire adapter and use whatever cable you used before. You could also get a 6 pin to 9 pin adapter. Do a search on amazon or your favorite electronics store, and you'll find plenty. Here's what Apple sells:

  • Question about searching

    Hi all,
    I'm considering Oracle BDBJE for a project that stores visited url's (data) based on a key of ip-address (4 bytes) combined with a date (long) to make the keys unique.
    If want to search on date (ignore ip) do I have to make a secondary database that has the date of the visited url's as primary index?
    Does a method like Cursor.getSearchKeyRange, if supplied with partial key, always search a the beginning of the key? Or could I use it to search for a date by only supplying the date-part of the key? Prop. in this case the bytes for the date will be mistaken for the bytes of the ip-address that comes first in the key.
    Thanks for any help.
    regards,
    Jeroen

    Hi Jeroen,
    I'm not sure I have all of your data model yet, but I think you've given us enough for me to say you should likely try one or possibly two secondary databases.
    If you have not already done so you should review the documentation on Secondary Indexes as found here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/GettingStartedGuide/indexes.html
    Inserting/Modifying records is faster without using a secondary index. But the queries that you have identified would perform better with secondary indexes. But you should experiment with a few different approaches and compare that with your performance goals.
    Also, if you have not already thought about this, I would consider using DPL to implement this, especially since you will be evaluating alternative database designs. You will find that the implementation time is faster and you can also make changes quickly.

    You know your data best, but based on the info you provided here are my thoughts/alternatives:
    Primary Database key = IP/Date or Maybe Date/IP is better if the Secondary for IP address exists
    data = URL plus other data not sure what
    Secondary Database Key = URL (I left out date because you said it is not likely that the same URL will exist for multiple dates).
    Possible Secondary Database Key = IP address (Which URL's were visited by IP X).
    Again, I think you may want to try out something like this a model your inserts and also your query performance. Feel free to post further questions about any results you are getting as you move forward.
    Also, if you have not already seen this I would keep this URL handy and consult with it before you post:

    I hope this helps!
