Should have stayed w/Frontier

I thought Frontier's CS was bad, but at least when you call CS u get someone from the USA you can understand. So far in a weeks worth of time I'm seeing that Comcast is worse than Frontier. When calling for Tech support 90-95% of the time its some NON-USA person with an accent or dialect thats hard to understand. Lots of wasted time asking them to repeat what they said cause I could not understand.

this is a customer help customer forum and your posts do not go direct to BT
if you would like some help from the forum members please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • What in the name of Goodness have you done re: the full screen picture of Contacts on my iPhone? Sort it out Apple or I'm going back to Samsung, where maybe I should have stayed!

    What in the name of Goodness have you done with the full screen picture of Contacts? How dare you just change it without so much as a bye or leave? This is NOT progress but a throwback to about 1997! I supposedly 'updated' to an iPhone two weeks ago. Should have stayed with Samsung I reckon. I am deeply unimpressed!

  • Lion successfully installed. now unable to get on vpn using cisco, error 51 constantly appears. should have stayed on snow leopard!

    ion successfully installed. now unable to get on vpn using cisco, error 51 constantly appears. should have stayed on snow leopard!

    Try opening a terminal window (Applications >> Utilities). At the prompt, enter:
    >sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN
    This will ask you for the admin password and it will restart the Cisco client service. That should fix it. This seems to be a known issue that will eventually be solved with some updates.

  • Why did my charger already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now phone will not charge..only had it 2 months..what a disappointment so far..should have stayed with Apple..would like to get my money back. Terrible experience so far.

    Why did my charger from Verizon already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now the phone will not charge..what a disappointment and a hassle..should have stuck with Apple..only had the phone 2 months. Hope they will exchange it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is either a Phone issue or an Electrical issue in your home.!   when charging Do you always use the same electrical  outlet?  or did you try others..
    You will know or should know if there are any issues with your other Electronics.. that you Plug into it..
    If it is the s5 which it sounds like it could be then the Local Verizon store at there Discretion will determined if replacement is needed you have a 1 year Manufactures Warranty that covers for things like what your Describing I would take it too your local store see if they'll get you a Replacement or you may have to go through Samsung..
    But I would Try another OUTLET just to see if your phone charges with it.. And Good Luck b33

  • Why am I having so many issues, should have stayed...

    Hi all, I had infinity installed last month with a promised 55/20 upload download, the first installation guy came fitted it and left and my speeds were awful, a week later another engineer came from BT and re did all the previous engineers work, after not getting any better speed increase he went away shaking his head, he said I was synced at 54mbps at the router but I'm only getting 12mbps d/l and 5.5mbps u/l on a good day, BT contacted me by phone and replaced my router to the home hub type B, and still no speed increase this was two weeks ago and the promised return call has not arrived, what is going on? i have totally new BT wiring in the house a new home hub expected speeds of 55/20 and I'm not near that at any time of the day or night, weather I'm the only one using the Internet or not, where do i go from here ?
    As a side note with sky my samsung galaxy s2 would always keep hold of the wireless signal now it drops it all the time and I'm incurring more data charges, the same goes for the wife's iphone5, laptops etc are not affected,
    At the moment i wish id stayed with sky...

    Have to agree, I am about 450/500metres away from the cabinet and stiil advised that I should get 58Mb. If you are only 100m away from the cabinet you should/would be getting more that what you state .

  • Having buyers remorse-thinking I should have stayed with old plan

    Went into retail store because my 18 month old IPhone 4S would not connect to wi-fi.  Was told it was a known problem and it was not under factory warranty and I had to buy a new phone. If it is a known problem, why did it not warn you when you upgrade IOS?  It seems like a plot with Apple to make you buy new equipment.
    So now I'm re-thinking that switching to Verizon Edge is not the plan I want.  The only advantage I see is that I could get an upgrade after I pay off the phone which costs $649 so at $27 a month I would be eligible in 12 months to get a new phone.  So it seems that now the new plan is just like leasing a phone and you never really own it unless you pay the $649.  Is a phone really worth that much money?
    Really unsettled now.  I knew I should not have gone into a retail store, they are sales driven and I never feel like I see the bottom line to compare costs and make a decision.  Every time I have gone into a store I feel like I was sold something I really did not want.  Lesson learned to really listen to my gut and shop online to make the right decision.  Not unhappy that I got a new phone on the spot, but just not sure the plan is what I really want.
    Can someone give me the hard #'s to compare?  I have 4 lines that share 6GB of data so I'm paying pre-tax $240 ($80 + 40 + 40 + 40 +40).  If I'm paying $27 for the new phone + $80 (data) + 40 + 40 +40 + 30 (new edge plan) = $257.  Wouldn't I be better to pay a couple hundred dollars now and own the phone and not have to pay the monthy fee?  Really what is the benefit if you are not a person that needs to have the most current phone?

    My last phone did not last 2 years so I'm afraid to be paying $649 for a phone and then end up having to buy another one in a year because the phone broke.
    Then perhaps Edge IS for you. Also if you pay the $199 you have to pay the $30 upgrade fee so it's actually $229. If your phone cost $27 a month for 12 months that is $324 but you are getting $10 discount on the line fee so that's $120. So your actual cost for the phone would be $204 AND you get a new phone in a year instead of waiting a year. Sure you have to give the phone back but why would you want it if you're getting a new phone?

  • Lion - I have to say I should have stayed with Snow Leopard

    I am not a huge of Lion at all.  In Snow Leopard and using Parallels I could print, email and work flawlessly.  But I made the stupid decision to upgrade to Lion and now I cannot for the life of me print From Parallels at all now.  THIS *****!!!  In a company where printing large sheets in a MUST - it dissappoints me that I cannot use my machine as I need it to be used.  I think Apple needs to reconsider their operatig system....
    I miss Snow Leopard... 
    Angela
    PS That is Lion, Parallels 7, Windows 7 and HP Designjet 500 42-inch.  I can print just fine from Mac but not Parallels (this set up worked great on Snow Leopard/Parallels 7)

    I have not had any problems setting up any printer, so far, from Lion with Vmware Fusion and Win XP. Or from Win 7 on PC. And I use a Designjet 500 also
    You are not doing something right. If you upgraded to Lion over Snow Leopard you may have to Re-install Parallels, latest version, Load your Win 7 Virtual Machine (in Fusion I can save the complete Win OS anywhere on my system or network and then copy it back and run it) and then re-Install the print drivers for your printer.

  • Frustrating ordeal! Should have stayed with Sky!

    Upon Receiving a promotional flyer through the post i decided to leave SKY (my internet & phone provider) and return to BT.....what a stupid decision that was.
    my whole experience to date has been an absolute disgrace, if you check through my account you will find my order history you will see why i'm livid about the service i have been fgiven to date (if i was to begin to describe this i would be typing all day and my internet would probably drop out 10 times in the meantime).
    basically i first contacted BT signing up to the newly installed infinity service back in Nov 14.....its now 16th Feb 15 and i'm no further forward to getting this installed. i have been given various dates and have arranged my wife to book time off work to let the engineers in, only to be cancelled at the last minute. I have called up many times and spent numerous hours going round in circles to your "INDIA" department getting no further forward other than another update date.
    the real shame is that i left SKY as i was advised by BT that they could not provide the Fibre service but have since been told that my neighbours are already connected by SKY!!!
    ever since i have returned to BT the Broadband speeds have been worse than pathetic for some reason as well, I have tried to cancel my service but cannot reach someone with the technical experience and lingual capabilities to advise me if this is possible.
    For BT to class themselves as a communications company and employ operatives based in the third world to man their switchboards is appaling, perhaps if they were to employ British we would not have the unemployment rates we do these days.
    I'm sorry if I sound racist, I'm really not....I am just utterly disgusted by this whole experience.
    If i could just be given a 100% confirmed connection & Installation date i could at least settle with that but as it sits i feel i have been conned into signing up to a contract with BT.
    my line rental has been paid in full for the year and i am not getting to make use of the Broadband for which it has been paid for, infact i actually usually have to Tether off my mobile in order to go online!

    Hi derrydiamond,
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the community forum!
    I'm sorry for the length of time it's taking to get you connected to BT Infinity.  There must be an underlying issue preventing the upgrade order from going through.  Sorry you're unsure what that is, I can find out for you.

    I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area.  I have stayed with 10G since the beginning.  Most months I don't use the 10G.  Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use.  This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages.  I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time.  Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help.  Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out.  I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!!     Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them?   We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

    There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
    You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
    Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
    There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
    Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
    Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
    Good Luck

  • CS4 Should I Stay or should I Go ?

    I am having a difficult time to decide if I should stay with Dreamweaver as my WYSIWYG editor for web development.
    I am still quite new to the whole Dynamic website development but am well experienced in Visual Basic
    I have been using Dreamweaver MX (I know its dated) and learning it from a old book I had on DW Mx
    I have discovered that ASP is dead or on its way out and ASP.NET is quickly becoming the new standerd for back end web development logic and bowser indepentent websites. Sooo.....
    My Problem is this:
    I recently found out that CS4 as dropped ASP.NET all together (for the most part) and that CS3 only has ASP.NET 1.1 support. I really like the Dreamweaver IDE because it is very nice for doing front end design and easy too. However I am not going to switch to PHP or JAVA stuff for back end dev I know and like .NET enviroment (somewhat)  and wish to stay with that technology so am I better off droping Dreamweaver all together and going with MS Visual Studio or MS Expression or is there a way that I can keep Dreamweaver (which I would like) and still be able to do the ASP.NET stuff in a different program and than just add it to my Dreamweaver stuff when its ready. I don't know if Dreamweaver will allow you to marry stuff done in ASP.NET with other software to stuff developed in Dreamweaver or not and even if it does I am unsure this is practical perhaps I am better off just dumping Dreamweaver.
    Soo.... Should I stay or should I go ?
    VR Foxman

    I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought I was being.   Expression Web like Dreamweaver is more of a front-end design program with some light server side tools in it. You don't really write server side code that much in either one since Code Completion (DW) and Intellisense (EW) basically give you syntax highlighting and some properties but neither are the best choice for serious back-end development. EW lets you interact with the ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 controls. Dreamweaver CS 3 has limited ASP.NET 1/1.1 support which have different capabilities and require a different application pool from 2.0/3.5. You shouldn't mix the two because they really aren't that compatible. Besides the ASP.NET 1/1.1 code output is pretty bad while 2.0/3.5 can be as clean as you have the knowledge to make it.
    I don't think it matters much which version of Dreamweaver you when it comes to ASP.NET because you shouldn't rely on any Dreamweaver dotnet controls/appications. What support that is available in CS3 is ASP.NET 1/1.1 and it isn't compatible with ASP.NET 2.0 which is what most hosting is running. Besides ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 is a typical first release product and many of the things have been fixed in 2.0. ASP.NET 3.5 is primarily the Windows Presentation Foundation toolset running on top of 2.0 which is still used for underlying processing so those are what you typically find together in hosting.
    There are other benefits from moving to CS 4 from CS 3 but working with dotnet isn't one of them and shouldn't influence the decision on which version to use.
    You should spend some time over at http://asp.net in their beginner tutorials because code behind doesn't run in script tags but rather in separate cs or vb files. VB.NET is absolutely nothing like the Visual Basic you are familiar with. My partner has had a difficult time moving from VB to VB.NET as a result. Far more than I had since I used only VBScript. Many of the Classic ASP users I know have migrated to PHP instead of of moving to dotnet for that reason. The structure and methods are closer between ASP & PHP than they are between dotnet and classic ASP. So you might want to experiement a little with both VB.NET and PHP before you commit completely. Get the free Visual Web Developer Express for testing dotnet and use Dreamweaver for testing out PHP.
    After you have a handle on which is really a better choice for you then you are in a better position to know how to proceed.

  • WM t-Code for Tracking Storage bins where a Material batch have stayed?

    Hello Gurus,
    My client ask if there is any t-code (report or whatever) in WM where he would be able to track all the storage bins in which a material batch have stayed?
    It would be a kind of history data about storage bins where the batch have passed inside the warehouse....Any Clues?
    Thanks!!!

    The only one that can serve your purpose is LT23.
    Choose the "rainbow" icon and select by material and batch.
    If you need help with selection screen feel free to ask... but it should be straight forward for SAP user.
    Execute with all the right selections.
    You will get a list of all the transfer orders which were used for that material/batch.
    In the right part of TO details, you'll see storage bins, there are the ones that the material/batch have stayed in your warehouse...

  • Open Question to Adobe - Why Should I Stay?

    Okay, there are now thousands of posts complaining about Adobe Creative Cloud.  There are over 31,000 signatures gathered in protest.  So far, Adobe is eerily silent.  So I am asking Adobe, why should I stay with you?  Why?  Why should I use Creative Cloud at $600 a year when I have been updating my Creative Suite about every other year for $700 (that's $350 per year)?  Why should I stay with you when you do not seem to be responding to your customer's complaints?  Why should i stay with you when you act as if everyone is so very happy with Creative Cloud and you seem to be ignoring the uproar as if it is not even happening?  Why should I stay with you when you act more and more like a monopoly that is strangling its customers?  I am a professional that has used your products for almost fifteen years.  Why on earth should I stay with you?
    Others are invited to post but I am curious if Adobe will ever respond to this. 

    Do you know a little bit of marketing rules?
    Do you know, how difficult it is to bring some one to action - espec. protest?
    Do you know about the % returning of feedback surveys (compareable... = 2-5 %)?
    (Believe me and follow regarding blogs: That are many more than 33.000 protests - no question)
    These subscribers in the last Q are because they spared all their new features to their "great CC day" on June 17th and because the discounts for CS6 users will end soon.
    These numbers (and in my eyes they are anything else than good) are a result of their forcing evil plan.
    They will drop down in August, when their are no longer discounts for CS6 users. We will see.
    Also let´s wait on the numbers, when they have to rise prices, and there is no longer income from CS6.
    700.000 of 12 Mio & the same amount of pirates (estimated) during a year a great success???
    Throwing half of the usership into garbage a good plan? = Reinventing economy?
    If you think, there will be no users who will replace Adobe with competitors - I´m one of them.
    Always was working parallel with QuarkXPress (and I like a lot - faster than InDesign - espec. in case of big documents (lots of text)). Also OWN the lifelong Right to use my Apple Video solutions (and thinking about investing to Avid now). My FreeHand still is running (also faster than Illustrator - even it is so old) ang still good for 95% of Vector Graphic. In case of Web-Design I have no great problem - Flash is slowly dying and competition is given. The only App not 100% replaceable is PS. But if it´s necessary, my MasterCollections will work the next 10 years on their actual MAC PROs (or virtualization). There is nothing I´m missing of their overwhelming solution.
    If I would estimate: CS6 will become the WIN XP of Adobe. It will still survive over decades
    (...or  Adobe is bought by better managers after it´s end)

Does any one know news whether issues will be really fixed or should i stay on version 7 only?  Can appl,e has any plan to migrate their Ipad 2 customers to use or take new Ipad with some exchange offers ?
    please I expect a quick responce to my queries. I am waiting eagerly what to do now?

    Ipad Air dead after installing IOS 8.0.2
    I have just downloaded and installed this version of IOS on my Ipad Air and it is DEAD.
    It won't start up.
    When I connect my Ipad to my MacbookPro, Itunes tells me the following:
    "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
    What now? restore? try to remove 8.0.2?
    what a misery!!

  • What the Macbook Pro should have

    Hi guys, 2 weeks ago I purchased my first Apple laptop - the Macbook Pro 13", before that (and still sometimes) I used PC. Even though the design is great, there are things that could be done to make it perfect. Here is my list, please tell me what you think about it.
    1 - A delete button one the keyboard, I noticed that the Macbook Pro doesn't have one before purchasing it, but after using if for 2 weeks noticed how important it is.
    2 - The 2 USB ports are quite inconvenient because they are next to each other, it would be more convenient if they are from both sides instead, like Macbook Air. I have devises that are a bit wider than the other ones, so when one of these is plugged in, the other USB port is unusable. Speaking of which USB 2.0 isn't good! The ThunderBolt port is great but there are no devises yet that can take any advantage of it, so in the meantime USB 3.0 would be great.
    3 - HDMI port - most of the laptops already have it, I don't see why none of the Macbooks has it. If I want to connect my Macbook Pro to my TV, I have to spend extra money on MiniDisplay to HDMI adaptor (it's not like Apple products are any cheep, so spending extra money on things that should have been there on first place is NOT good).
    4 - Numerical Keyboard - I know there is no room for it, but a button like Caps Lock could be used, when it's pressed certain buttons from the keyboard could act only as numerical keyboard and when pressed again, the keyboard could be back to normal.
    5 - The screen resolution of the 13" Macbook Pro should have been like the 13" Macbook Air.
    6 - The CD Drive is unnecessary, nobody uses it nowadays. Nobody listens to music from a CD and nobody installs any software from a CD, everyone uses the Internet for these things, the little part of people who are still using CDs, DVDs, etc. have other devises such as: DVD or Blue-ray players, HiFi systems and Desktops. The room that is taken by the Optical Disk could be used for a bigger battery.
    7 - Better cooling system - when watching a move the laptop gets so hot that I literally can't put it on my lap (lol what a paradox, a laptop that cannot be put on a lap), also I would love to be able to close the lid and leave the laptop works (it is great when downloading big files or scanning software is used), but with that cooling system I'm afraid that it would overheat.
    8 - Last but not least - The screen bezel. It's too big, Macbooks should be bezelless, it would make them much better looking.

    DS had some great points, I'll chime in as well.
    1.) I agree, it'd be handy to have. It definitely took some getting use to but once you do and modify your keyboard workflow it becomes second nature.
    2.) I ended up investing a USB extension cable, Apple makes them I believe. At least they use to, I've had mine for years. While the cable dangling off the side of the machine is a bit of an annoyance, it's a necessity if I want to double up my AirCard (USB) with a thumb drive. USB 2.0 is still the "standard" and as such it's going to be the de facto peripheral port. Apple is historically slow about adopting non-standard peripheral interfaces unless they pioneer or champion it. It wouldn't surprise me if Apple still doesn't offer USB 3.0 this time next year. Thunderbolt/Light Peak is brand new tech, and as such it's going to take a while to have peripherals that support it. There are NAS devices that have it, they were just announced this week.
    Here's a link regarding its deployment - http://www.tuaw.com/2011/04/13/intel-distributing-thunderbolt-developer-kits-thi s-quarter-more/
    3.) I agree that HDMI would be nice but with Thunderbolt supporting HDMI, I really don't see Apple adding another video out port. There's no room left on the I/O strip on the 13" MBP for it. Apple use to include adapters (when the MBP first came out) but they've since stopped doing that and gouge with adapters. Thankfully there are numerous 3rd party offerings at a fraction of the price.
    4.) I agree, I forget which "redesign" of the keyboard layout got rid of the Num Lock key. I know my 15" MBP (Santa Rosa) has it. I currently use my iPhone as my numerical keyboard, there's a great little app that pairs the phone to your computer via Bluetooth. It works great as an alternative.
    5.) Marketing 101. By introducing it via a future revision this encourages current owners to want to upgrade/switch and thus move more units and tout it as a "feature upgrade." I was pretty shocked the i5/i7 update to the MBP 13" did not introduce the 1440 resolution.
    6.) This is where you'll get disagreement. Rule #1 of proper Internet forum posting, don't use words like: everyone, everyone, most, all, nobody, no one, etc. Especially without evidence to back it up. While you don't use it, people do. I use mine daily, my co-workers use their drives daily. That's 11 people right there, which is 11 more than "nobody."
    7.) Apple has never called their computer a "laptop." They've always referred to is as a portable computer. Matter of fact, they strongly discourage the use of their portable computers on your lap due to how the heat dissipation process works through the top case. So the problem(s) you're experiencing are to be expected, you're using the machine in a method that is not recommended by the manufacturer. They even discuss that in the "Getting Started" booklet that came with your machine.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:
