Shouldn't I be able to get higher speeds?

I'm on the 1.5 to 3.0 tier, the CO is 2 miles away by car, and my modem stats are:
Transceiver Revision 3.3.6.10.0.1
Vendor ID Code 4D54
Line Mode ADSL_G.dmt
Data Path INTERLEAVED
Transceiver Information -- Down / Up
DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) --- 1504 / 448
Margin (dB) -------------- 26.9 / 18.0
Line Attenuation (dB) ---- 51.7 / 31.5
Transmit Power (dBm) --- 18.4 / 11.9
I'm lucky to pull 1300/386 on a regular basis. The only way I ever get even 1.5 dl is after a ticket has been opened by "support", and even then it only lasts a week or two before dwindling back down to 1.3. My modem stats are consistent, with the only variation being the downstream margin dropping to 25.1 when someone is using our phone, which is on its own line. The dsl line is dedicated straight from the NID.
Shouldn't I be able to get better numbers?

Weather isn't an issue, as I'm in the middle of the Mojave desert.
We do have a 'whole house' filter, and our phone service is crystal clear.
I've had it estimated that we're about 14000 line-feet from the CO, so we're close to the 3 mile cutoff. In fact, when my wife made the switch to dsl about 5 or 6 years ago (before I was in the picture), I believe she was told she was borderline on getting the 1.5-3.0 tier.
And out town is so small - 4 x 5 miles - I guess I should be happy to even get dsl. With Verizon slowing down FiOS expansion, I doubt I'll see it here soon, if ever.
Thanks for your time,
DR

How do I get High Speed Wireless internet to work with Linux?

I have Linux on my computer and I have the Wine Software on my computer to download what need to be installed. As I was trying to download the installment for activation it loaded to the installing part and then it told me there was an error and it couldn't finish installing. If you can help...IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AND VERY APPRECIATED!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Should work if you're connecting for the first time (new DSL hookup). Most areas use OpenPPPoE which pretty much allows you to connect with any user/pass combo set up in the modem's DSL Connection settings. Other areas, mainly out West (sold to Frontier mostly) use DHCP which does not need a User/Pass, but binds the IP address to the modem's MAC address.

Will I still be able to get CS upgrades on DVD?

We live in an isolated rural area in the Sierra with bandwidth limited internet service (which is faster and more reliable in our area than satellite). One upgrade of Adobe Acrobat (940mb) wiped out our bandwidth limit for the month and our service dropped down to dial-up speed. My husband begged to buy more bandwidth, but there's only so much room. I could not download my current version of CS6 and had to get a DVD form Adobe. We don't even have a landline. Cell only.
To get high speed wifi, I must drive to the closest coffee shop about 30 miles away. We will never get high speed internet here. Not in my lifetime anyway.
Does anyone know if Adobe will still offer DVDs of the upgrades to CS? I hope so, because the Cloud probably won't work for most of rural America.
Fingers crossed, Adobe won't abandon its loyal rural users.

You'd have to ask customer service to get any sort of definitive answer, but I suspect if you can tell us which update and platform you need one of us would volunteer to download it and burn to disk for you.

"High Speed Internet isn't available at your address"

Hi,
We're looking to rent a house that is on a large piece of property in our town. This house has never been rented before and served as a guest house of sorts for the much larger house on the same property. The owner of this larger house has Verizon Fios service, and the whole town is served well with Verizon (we're a suburb of Los Angeles so not in the boonies at all).
Because this house has never had service before I am trying to figure out if we can get high speed internet there. I looked online and it told me that high speed internet is unavailable, but I don't know if this is something that is decisive or just because there has never been service at this house before so it doesn't show up online.
My question is whether Verizon is able and willing to install cable or dsl service in this location--as it is only a matter of extending it ether from the main house (halfway to the street) or from the street itself.
My wife and I depend on high speed internet for both work and entertainment, so this is a deciding factor in our taking this otherwise excellent house.
The owner says that because she has Verizon FIOS it shouldn't be a problem to extend service to the other house, but I want to check to see if this is something that can and would be done.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Thanks for the helpful replies!

Neighbors Have High Speed Internet but Systems Says Not Available

Hello,
I have been trying for the past week to get High Speed Internet with Verizon. Two times I received an email saying… Although your line qualified for High Speed Internet service during the initial phases of the order process, unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with Internet access on your line ending in 0602 .
I live in a small subdivision on the outskirts of Colonial Beach, Virginia with approximately 500 homes.
I have two neighbors, one on each side of me i one would be the closest to the substation) and another neighbor about one block past my house.  The second neighbor drives past my house every day to get to their house.
I spoke with a local Verizon employee who told me the computer was turning down the High Speed Internet because of distance and that I needed to have someone at the local office, over-ride the automatic turn down so that it would be installed. After the second computer automated turn down, I spoke with Eric – he said to give the next tech this information – Acct Number XXXXXX Order Number XXXXX at the DSL Technical support so we could get this resolved. The DSL Technical support guy was NOT interested in obtaining the account number or Order number Eric gave and said either the Router was filled or I was too far from the Loop. I explained the neighbors and it still didnot seem to matter. He was foreign and we did seem to have a significant language barrier. He then transferred me back to Sales.
Over and over I requested to speak with the actual Local Office in Warsaw, VA so I could be given a reasonable explanation.   I spoke with a woman who said the two neighbors were closer to the loop than me. When I asked how this was possible if I am in the center of the two she said maybe it was because of a curve in the road? She also said she was the local office but was not able to tell me where that office was located so obviously it was not the actual "local" office.
How can I get someone to physically come out and determine why I cannot get High Speed Internet?  Who can I contact to make a formal complaint.
Thank you for any input.

Here, maybe, is a FAQ that explains why

Will a higher speed modem prevent streaming issues in a wireless network?

I have a cable modem from 2007. I use a time machine to create a wireless network connected to a 2007 iMac. I use a 2007 MacBook to stream videos to my HDTV. I experience stop-start in the video, but I don't get the wheel on the MacBook.
If I purchase and install a newer modem and get higher speed cable, will this issue be resolved?

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.

High Speed Indeed

Ok so I game,playing World of Warcraft. And I recently made the switch from timewarner internet to verizon (regret it) and I've run the speed test,supposidly I'm getting "high speed" well...these are my results. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3725617673 care to tell me how this is High Speed?

Ckacz26,
Oh no! We're so sorry about the confusion here. All Trade In quotes are subject to change at any time. Currently that particular phone is valued at $171.00, and the value is increased to $200.00 if you're participating in the special trade in offer for the iPhone 6 and 6 . It's possible that the value changed during your pre-order interaction, which is what prompted you to re-enter all your info.

How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
Thanks.

But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

I just set up an Optus Cisco DPQ3925 wireless router to access higher speed internet I signed up for. I have a 4th gen airport extreme I want to put in another room and use as a wifi extender the wifi but I get an error message each time I try. Help?

Hello all.
I have just set up a new cisco DPQ3925 wireless router that Optus sent me to be able to access the higher speed internet I have signed up for.
I have a 4th gen apple extreme that I want to use to extend the wifi but when I try to update the settings via the airport utility I get a message that says it cannot do so, and to check it is in range and the wifi is set up correctly. I'm not experienced with these things but I can't think what I have done wrong.
Is anybody able to help me please.

You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

The screen of my ipod broke so will i be able to get a new one but i left my ipod in the locker and my mom is planning to go tomorrow without the ipod to the apple store

the screen of my ipod cracked so will i be able to get a new one but i left my ipod in the locker and my mom is planning to go tomorrow without the ipod to the apple store but we still got the case of the ipod from the first day we cant find the receit though

1) you can get a replacement one, though you might have to pay the out of warranty price for the device (normal iPod touch 4th gen 8g = $99)
2) If you don't have the iPod itself, its is highly unlikely they'll replace it since you won't be handing the original over (since its in your locker)

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.
regards.

How do I get high res aperture images on new iPad?

I want high quality images synced from aperture. I bought the new ipad specificaly to do artwork and image maniuplations. I was loving the ipad 2 but working with such low res images won't work for reporduction. I thought with the new ipad when I synced to aperture that I would get higher res files. They look like the same small images to me.

Art,
I'm still working out the details myself, but I may have some helpful information.
If you are syncing through iTunes, then I believe the resolution is dictated by the preview preferences in Aperture. I can't remember what the default setting was, but I changed it to the maximum allowable for the iPad1 some time ago. The new iPad can handle more resolution, so you can change the setting in preferences to a higher level. Here is where it gets tricky, I don't think Aperture automatically updates the preview to the new settings. In fact, I it tells you it is up to date. I got past this by forcing the generate new preview feature (select the photo, hold down the option key, right click, and select generate preview). I suggest doing this with one photo to see how it works for you. Ff you do 1600 like I did, it takes some time. Although, I'm still hoping for better, I can see the difference immediately over my iPad1 settings. I am able to zoom in on the ipad, which much less obvious degradation of the image.
I did get some variation in the preview size, even though the full image sizes are close. My file size ranged from 800K to 2.8M for some sample images transferred to the ipad. This happened at the "no limit"setting in preferences.
As I said, I'm still playing with it. I bought the 64GB model so I could store and present very high resolution photos on the iPad.
Bob

Shouldn't I be able to get higher speeds?
