Re: Slow Speeds, Please stop us from severing our ...

I currently live in a hamlet approx 3miles from the nearest town and according to Sam Knows.com, approx 4km from the nearest nominated BT Openreach exchange. My current provider Talktalk advise me that it is the length of my line that is the cause of the slow speed, and although fibre will be hitting the exchange in spring 2013, due to me being 4km away will be of no use as BT have chosen to leave copper to the doorstep in place!  My average speed is 0.68mbps (less than 1mb) but as stated in previous posts, I am paying full price as if I was receiving close to 24mbps, and I think this is unacceptable, as it is in nearly all other retail industries so why should ISP's be exempt?? Clearly Talktalk are not to blame, as after all, BT own the lines of most of the UK phones lines, and Talktalk just pay BT.  I have had email correspondance with openreach, and am told it is too expensive for any improvements to be made to the existing line as the population here is so little!  Here I see a multi billion profitable company turning their back on rural britain shame on them.  The old saying, Rome wasn't built in a day, but they got there eventually!  Cutting corners is not the way to go, sewer channels was the way to go according to previous company H20 but that crashed after just 4 years and only served Dundee & Bournemouth, although could of been successful as it is cheaper to lay fibre in that way vs digging up roads.  Sadly, I will soon be cancelling my landline/broadband service as I am fed up of buffering on Video-Audio streaming (even spotify!)
I am led to believe that the goverment are meant to be funding some improvements, but I am sure broadband is bottom of the priority list! 

Unfortunately the above posts are true, you allude too BDUK- http://www.culture.gov.uk/what_we_do/telecommunica​tions_and_online/7763.aspx .
 These projects are now being ratified (delayed) by the European Commission. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5355-are-bduk-p​rojects-really-delayed-by-eu-state-aid-rules.html
You might be interested in this scheme, I assume you reside in Devon http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/ .
Also this http://www.broadband-notspot.org.uk/map/devon-broa​dband-notspot.html#8,50.724209,-3.71814,all,2  .
Its hard to recommend other methods of obtaining broadband as you mention Video and buffering, as usage on other methods is no where near as generous as fixed lines, usage is where the meat is!

  • Slow speeds. As if from no where.

    Up until about 2 weeks ago i had a perfectly stable connection with never a problem. Lately thats dissapeared and the internets is loading slower than dial up and i simply CANT play games over the net due to lag. Nothing has changed our end and we contacted bt twice now. The first time they said there were problems in our area then they would be fixed on the 24th and they would call us back the same day. 24th came and went. No phone call and no fix. We phoned up on the 25th. they denied having called us then said we had no problem. We had to argue with them to talk to the persons supervisor who then said he would call us back today at 11... And no phone call. AGAIN.
    Please be advised that we were sitting quite happily on 7k Before this happened as we are not far from the nearest depot and never had any problems before. And even doing something as simple as watcing a video on you tube takes 10 mins at least to laod the video. On speedtest . net its showing even lower speeds than shown here.
    Any ideas?

    Try btspeedtester again tomorrow and see if improved if not post results again

  • Slow speed, please help

    Hi, I have has problems with my line disconnecting due to an faulty extension cable which I have removed but my internet is still slow.
    My ADSL Stats are:
    My Speed Test Result
    My Line Speed Check
    Is there anything that can done to increase the speed of my internet?
    Thanks, Alex 

    there is something causing a problem with your connection as your earlier posts you had an attenuation of 49.4 but now up to 58.  this should be more or les constant with a change when you move to 21CN.
    are you connected direct to the test socket via a filter (preferably new one)?  what other changes did you make apart from doing away with extension cable?

  • Adobe, please stop running from this issue! (GPU vs CPU anomalies / fades)

    Adobe,
    I have tried to bring this issue to light many times, and your own users have argued it ad finem, but to no avail! I am TIRED of getting terrible alpha blending (and opacity curve) results with GPU acceleration enabled, vs CPU. In fact, it is SO BAD that I NEVER work with GPU acceleration any more.
    Here is the issue:
    When GPU acceleration is enabled, you simply CANNOT do a smooth fade and/or cross dissolve. It appears to fade down smoothly to about 20% opacity, and then the next frame it will jump right to 0% quite abruptly and disappear. It's almost as if the fade simply gives up and switches off! Regardless of whether you use Cross Dissolve, or Film Dissolve the results are the same. Also, your alpha blending is all messed up, CLEARLY showing a different result when comparing CPU and GPU rendering outputs. Once again, this issue ONLY exists with GPU acceleration ENABLED. Switch off GPU/MPE and the problems disappear. But of course you lose the speed and other benefits GPU acceleration offers, which would be great to have! Especially seeing as I have also heard (from various other resources) that GPU acceleration can improve the quality of rendering out to compressed formats like H264. But we will never know that, will we? Because, every time I enable GPU, my fades and blending looks noticeably bad!
    I have seen in various other threads that your response has been along the lines of: "That's just the way it is". But unless your name is Bruce Hornsby, this response is unacceptable! You cannot advertise a "great feature" of your products (in this case, GPU/MPE), yet when people try to use it and see odd results, simply tell us: "oh by the way, yeah, it does not work in a few scenarios, like fading, but otherwise you are good to go!" The way I see it: cross-fades (even fades in general) as well as opacity/blending are some of the most common, if not THE most common techniques used in video projects! Having an anomaly of this nature showing a DISTINCT difference in quality output when one of your fantastic "features" is enabled is just poor form. What is evern poorer is your responses (or lack thereof) related to the issue. Especially seeing as this problem has been present since CS5, and now we are STILL seeing it in CC!
    Here is a thread which documents the issue well (even shows examples, and other details someone prepared for you to apparently ignore):
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773441
    ...it was never addressed there.
    Another issue which details it going back as far as CS 5.5:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987306
    ...once again, never resolved.
    Now I am using CC, latest version, up-to-date, a fast i7 processor, a CUDA supported card, and all of those go to waste because I have to have GPU and the mercury playback engine disabled to yield decent quality results.
    I implore you, not just for myself, but on behalf of everybody here who has already addressed this issue, but has had their pleas fall on deaf ears: PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. Telling us simply that: "This is the way GPU cards choose to render" is NOT ACCEPTABLE. It's just like me saying when I drive my car on the wrong side of the road: "that's just the way I drive!". Doesn't mean it is acceptable!
    You may have won people over since Final Cut Pro screwed the pooch with version X... but I can guarantee if this does not get resolved soon, the issue won't just be isolated to the forums here. Expect to read about it in MANY online publications that I am sure your competitors will ENJOY watching!
    Mat.

    Indeed. Yes Adobe, please explain.
    And here is an example of what I am talking about:
    CPU only (MPE and GPU DISABLED):
    This appears to be what I would consider accurate, as it is not only well blended, but the fades work smoothly thanks to it relying on the CPU...
    GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color ON - as per default):
    This provides identical image quality/blending results as the CPU only benchmark. However, the fades are very abrupt, as per the original problem...
    GPU (MPE and GPU ENABLED - Linear Color OFF, as per your recommendation):
    This is your recommended solution. The fades are as smooth as they are in the CPU version. But as you can see the color, alpha and blending are VASTLY different. Actually, it looks HORRIBLE! The BG text is barely visible, and the foreground text appears to be more prevalent over the top of the back layer, making its fade-up quite disjointed and selective.
    ...So as you can see, the "solution" you provided seems to create more problems and/or inconsistencies in the overall output. Now we have no idea what is the "standard"!
    I personally find these inconsistency's very concerning. And I am sure I'm not the only one. Please tell me there is actually a logic to this "solution" and it wasn't a simple duct-tape fix that nobody there at Adobe actually looked deeper into to see exactly how it would effect overall image quality! It sure appears that way!
    I appreciate that you, Kevin, are not directly responsible for this issue, and you are indeed a representative trying to help. But please realize that for many of us here, we are LONG time Premiere users, with years of experience and influence in this industry, and this definitely isn't our first rodeo! When we flag these issues we do so out of a REAL need, which means the consequences Adobe faces as a result of not addressing these issues are equally as REAL! As such; I encourage you to expedite the process of resolving this issue, because it has been prevalent since CS5.5, and the fact that it is not been resolved and/or has been addressed poorly does not bode well for your overall reputation. Especially when you are trying to make Premiere the industry standard. Like I said, I would hate to have to look at alternatives, so give me a solution, because if I decide to move on from using Premiere, I won't be the last. And no, I am not being melodramatic here. If a piece of software cannot seem to get something as simple as fades and blend modes right (or at least CONSISTENT), how can the software be trusted to handle high-end workflows? Food for thought.

  • Slow Speed While fetching data from SQL 2008 using DoQuery.

    Hello,
    I am working for an AddOn and tried to use DoQuery for fetching data from SQL 2008 in C#.
    There are around 148 records which full fill this query condition but it takes much time to fetch the data.
    I wanna know that is there any problem in this code by which my application is getting slower.
    I used break Points and checked it, I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time.
    Code:
    // Get an initialized SBObob object
    oSBObob = (SAPbobsCOM.SBObob)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoBridge);
    //// Get an initialized Recordset object
    oRecordset = (SAPbobsCOM.Recordset)oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
    string sqlstring = "select DocEntry,ItemCode From OWOR  where OWOR.Status='R' and DocEntry not in ( Select distinct(BaseRef) from IGE1 where IGE1.BaseRef = OWOR.DocEntry)";
    oRecordset.DoQuery(sqlstring);
    var ProductList = new BindingList<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
    ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("", "---Please Select---"));
    while (!(oRecordset.EoF))
    ProductList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString(), oRecordset.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString() + " ( " + oRecordset.Fields.Item(1).Value.ToString() + " ) "));
    oRecordset.MoveNext();
    cmbProductionOrder.ValueMember = "Key";
    cmbProductionOrder.DisplayMember = "Value";
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ravi Sharma

    Hi Ravi,
    your code and query look correct. But can you ellaborate a little bit.
    It seems to be a DI API program ( no UI API ) ?
    When you say "I founds that while connecting to the server it is taking time." do you mean the recordset query or the DI API connection to SBO ? The later would be "normal" since the connection can take up to 30 seconds.
    To get data it is usually better to use direct SQL connections.
    regards,
    Maik

  • Firefox extremely slow to load, stops Keyboard from working despite resetting, uninstal and downloading same problems persist

    Firefox takes forever to load. When trying to fill in a form on a Web Page the Keyboard wont work and I have to close Firefox and start over. It stops for no reason and page gets s white haze over it. I have reloaded Foxfire. Uninstalled it and downloaded the latest version but it continues. Any clues Thanks Haydn

    Another update:
    I just tried a different router, an older wireless version of the same router and when I first plugged it in and restarted my computer the internet seemed to work normally again, under 5 second page loads (which is still slower than I'm used to getting, but it was a major improvent).
    Then I checked different slots in the router to see if my IP address was changing and it was still remaining on the same IP regardless of which slot I put it in. Do I have to restart my computer everytime I change slots? Either way the internet seemed to be working fine again.
    Then I switched back to the other cord that was producing the problems and the speed slowed down again, but it was still loading pages within 10-20 seconds, leading one to believe it was indead the cord.
    However, a few minutes into browsing around the web the speed seems to be getting progessively slower. I quit Safari a few times and restarted and the pages would now flash up with no delays, click one or two links with the same results. Then with the 4th or 5th new page the speed slows, and has been slowing to a dead hault again....
    I am out of ideas, seemingly a different cord and different router helped things, but only at first. I don't think I can rule out the cord and router as not being problems, but I don't think they are the only problem either.
    It must be something to do with the IP addresses, as I am still getting the same address regardless of which router port I put it in. But, I've tried resetting the routers and going into their configurations and resetting them to system defaults, all with no luck.
    You would think my computer is the problem, as my roommates computer hasn't had any problems, however everything else on my computer is working perfectly, I've not noticed any other problems and I've tried setting and resetting every network configuration option I can think of and that still doesn't fix the problem.
    Maybe the ethernet port on my computer is busted?

  • Please stop JOptionPane from bugging me

    I am having problems with writing a GUI. I think I have distilled the problem down to one related to looping a JOptionPane. Does anyone know anything that will help me eliminate this problem (or bug)?
    <code>
    * This code results in a Win98 Ddhelp error
    * It make Windows permanently unstable.
    for ( int i=o ; i<2 ; i++ ){
    JoptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Count is " + i);
    System.exit(0);
    * Whereas this causes no problems
    int i=0;
    JoptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Count is " + i);
    int i=1;
    JoptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Count is " + i);
    System.exit(0);
    </code>

    This is getting worse! My previous post suggested that the problem was fixed but that was a misconception on my part. After running Norton utilities I did the tests again but I reduced the counter to just two iterations and the problem was gone. When I increase to four iterations the problem comes back!
    The sample code above is actually two separate programs. The first program runs happily and shows the JOptionPane several times with the displayed text showing the counter number as expected. The program then terminates and a Win98 error message pops up. The heading is "Ddhelp" and the narrative is "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown. If the problem persitsts, contact the program vendor."
    The only thing to be done is to press the OK button which removes the error message. However the program will no longer run as the error message pops up before the program has done anything. Any other (Java or non-Java) program is also likely to result in the same error message.
    The second bit of sample code above is shown because it is functionally equivalent but does not use a loop with JOptionPane and seems to work without problems. This may suggest a possible solution to the problem by someone more knowledgeable than me.
    If I can't understand this problem I will have to stop using JOptionPane which would be very unsatisfactory as I am writing a large GUI and JOptionPanes could be quite helpful to me. It might help to know if anyone can run the first bit of code on Win98 using JDK 1.4.1.
    Perhaps I need to do something with invokeLater() but I have no experience nor confidence with threads.

  • PLEASE Stop iTunes From Stealing Focus

    This has been an ongoing issue almost since day 1. If you have a large music library, when you add it to iTunes, iTunes constantly steals focus while it's adding music. If you attempt to do anything else, 9 times out of 10, you end up aborting your music adds and have to start the import all over again.
    This has been going on as long as Ive used iTunes, its the reason I dont like using iTunes and it needs to be corrected.

    No idea what suggesting to let iTunes run and finish adding his music has to do with a "'tude" or being a punk, of which my repsonse was neither.
    For some reason, MadFlava has decided that since it takes "LITERALLY hours to import the music", he's not gonna do it.
    I don't know why he can't let iTunes finish adding the music, but as above, that's what I would suggest.
    Since he's been doing this since day 1, I suggest either let it finish or quit using iTunes.

  • How do i stop someone from hacking our accounts and we never know they do it?

    My girlfriend and I have been struggling with her ex. He knows anything we talk about and gets pics that we send to each other or to other people. Somehow he logs on to both of our accounts and uses verizon messages to talk to other people then he screenshots the messages and sends them to her trying to get her to leave me. He made the mistake and told someone that he has a friend that works in verizon and he gets all of our messages? How is this possible and how can i stop it? The PA state police cant do anything about it and it needs to stop. He knew i left my housr yesterday and came here when she was alone and forced himself into my house. Anyone with any information on what to do please help me out before i go postal and go into the verizon store and figure out who it is.

    I agree with Elector. If a VZW employee is giving out your account information to a third party they will surely be fired and prosecuted. VZW can easily find out who it is since the system tags the account when it is accessed by an employee or agent of VZW. If he forced his way into your home and you can prove it then the police should surely be involved.
    I would also get a restraining order. Doesn't help much but it is something. Then once you can prove contact that violates it he will be arrested.
    First change your passwords on everything. Even though VZW Message+ is great I would also stop using it because if he accessing your messages online then another app will not allow this. Plus a computer expert should be able to track the ISP of the messages sent from the internet and that would be proof of his violations.

  • HT1688 My phone's iMessages are being sent to a the intended addressee. However in addition to him, his father's email account just recently started receiving our texts last night. How can we stop him from receiving our texts and replying in our thread?

    I've tried turning iMessage on and off, his son has deleted his iCloud account in suspiscion that that was the cause of the problem, etc.
    We've been texting for months without problem. This morning his son texts me, "Good morning," and then his father replies into our thread, "Good morning to you too!" I checked my contact, and I never had his father's email account before nor was his email a part of his son's contact. Please help me to stop him reading our messages. Thank you.

    You don't necessarily need to change the Apple ID for iMessage, in Settings > Messages > Received At > On each device have them uncheck any number/email that does not belong to that device

  • How can i stop people from buring our music

    We will be be setting up a studio. I need to be able to let people LISTEN to the music they and we recorded, but NOT be able to burn it.
    how can I do this? Is there something like apples DRM that I can encode my own files so they can be taken off the computer.

    Under Accounts -> Parental Controls, there is an option to disable disc burning on a per-account basis. Just ensure that the users can only access this type of account and it should work.

    Since before christmas my bt infinity package 1 38down/10up has been playing up after 12 midnight! usually after this time my speed would go down from 37download to around 0.5/0.1 soo low that i can't load a web page. Ive tried for weeks contacting bt which takes me to the offshore call centre where iv'e been fobbed of that an engineer is investigating an issue at the exchange or that the issue will be fixed in either 24, 36 or 48 hours numerous times to which it has not.
    This last week my internet speed has dropped during the day time where before in the day it was a solid 37down and 10 up it now goes down to 10 meg and now its gone down to 0.1 meg. It went down to 0.1 meg today at around 6.30pm.

  • Can Slow Script be stopped??? Please help!

    Hi,
    Can "Slow Script" be stopped? If so, how? It happens all the time on Twitter. Someone recommended clearing out the Twitter cookies, then restart Safari, which only works until I go on Twitter again. Then the cookies return and it is repeat cycle! There's no way to contact Twitter about this. Please help. This is exasperating.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for coming through for me again, Bee! I really appreciate it. Yes, your suggestion worked.
    I think Twitter itself has a slowness problem, though, because even with the "Slow Script" message issue removed, Twitter still takes forever to search. I finally found a way to contact Twitter about this. They said it might be my system or speed, but I reassured them it was not, and they said they'd look into it on their end. Cross your fingers for me that Twitter fixes this glitch, won't you?
    Thank you again,
    Kcat

  • Pages slow to load or do not load, then time out, sometimes stopping page from loading will reveal it or stopping and refreshing it, though not always.

    pages will not always load or take forever, if i stop it from loading and refresh it it may load right away though not always. It is like the old days @ 33K, never used to happen, basically have all the same plugins have always had.
    has been doing this for several months now, finally can't take it any more, all malware, virus, scans are clean, settings are the same for last ? years.
    do get script problems from time to time but not very often.
    loading say New egg, will take forever or will not completely load page, have backed up all bookmarks, etc: removed and reinstalled but no change.
    any Ideas would be of great help. I have been using Firefox, since it's inception and don't want to switch browsers.
    Thank You,
    Mark

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
