Signal Booster Options for poor service signal in home

The new home I am moving to gets really poor signal (seems to be just in the yard and house ~3 acres) everywhere around home gets signal. What would be a good signal booster option so I can get calls in my home? Zipcode 56759

At this moment, I believe your only option is the network extender, which is currently a Samsung model. You would hook this up to your home internet connection. Limitations are it is only 3G and not LTE.
Future, Verizon has said they will be releasing an LTE network extender. Also Verizon announced in the fall of 2014 they will support wifi calling with supported phones sometime in 2015. Both are still not concrete on dates, so I would not count on them right now. Just be aware that if you get the 3G network extender, it will be obsolete in less than a year.

Upload Speed Boost Option for Cable Plans

There have been multiple posts from other Bigpond users requesting higher upload speeds on their cable services on the Whirlpool Technology forums. It seems today with families sharing even a Telstra Ultimate Cable connection at home, doing various tasks such as uploading photographs and videos to social media, performing online backups, using cloud services, online gaming, video conferencing or any other upload intensive applications, it can quickly make an Ultimate cable connection quickly feel no so ultimate with only a 2.4 megabit upload speed. I'm suggesting the thought of providing another speed boost option for those with Telstra Cable services similar to what is already in place but with a higher upload speed (to align with Velocity?) and higher cost per month. This gives your customers the added flexibility of being able to pay for the option should it be needed and can be marketed to the customers appropriately also during signup. From a technological point of view the DOCSIS 3.0 technology used by the Telstra Cable network is more than capable of being up to the task of catering for higher upload speeds. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS I hope this suggestion is of use as I can see clear profitability gains for Telstra. Just by the introduction of a simple new product you will be able to keep more current customers happy and attract more in the process.

+1 to increase it by any amount. But I would be happy to pay an extra $10 per month for at least 10Mbps up. Purely for the benefits of online cloud storage to backup photos etc - a process that is painfully slow with most of the U.S. based cloud backup solutions. I can understand that part of the reasoning might be to prevent users from hosting web or ftp sites and the like, but without a static IP - it is not that feasible anyway (yes I know you can have dynamic dns services etc. but Telstra wouldnt be making it any easier without static IP's). For example: August 21, 2014 - Cogeco Cable Canada Enhances its High Speed Internet Service : The Turbo 20, and Ultimate 55 High Speed Internet package upgrade includes an upload speed increase from up to 2 Mbps to up to 10 Mbps, at no additional cost. The newly launched Ultimate 120 High Speed Internet package offers download speeds of up to 120 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps, as well as a monthly data transfer capacity of 425 GB. (Just do a search and replace on a few words in the above paragraph and feel the potential happiness!) I'd like to hear a response from Telstra.

Options for managed service providers

Hi! I work for a managed service provider. We currently use Zenith to manage alerting and status reports for our myriad managed Windows servers. We are looking for a software solution to help monitor Mac servers in a similar way.
Our requirements are that we want it to work with computers at multiple WAN sites (the company networks that we manage for our clients), without a VPN connection, and securely (over SSL would be nice.)
Value add items would be the ability to remote connect to the desktop, patch management, and log aggregation.
I can build a lot of this functionality, but it would be more cost affective to use commercially available software, if it exists.

Start with rummaging around for information on [Nagios|http://www.nagios.org] and [Lithium|http://lithium5.com>, as a first-blush open-source and commercial offerings here, and also as potential search targets.
Mac OS X includes remote desktop access and patch management and related offerings either directly, or as part of Mac OS X Server product.

TS3623 How do we get refunds for poor service? 20 times I've had to restart my move due to file access errors

Back when movie rental stores existed you would get a refund if you kept having to run tracking on your tape. If apple's service constantly fails we should get similar credits.

Query options for OData service

Hi,
I am able to create an OData service and using SDK, I am able to read the data from the connected database. Now I have to fetch data based on queries. I mean from the database table I have to fetch subset of data based on conditions. I have checked the documnetations

Other than setting up the Netweaver gateway, is it possible to achieve it through GWPA(eclipse plugin). I am using the kepler version of eclipse. Could you please share the documents related to this topic?

Hi Jitendra,
I have developed ios/android applications using SAP Mobile Platform SDK 3.0 SP06.
1) MAFLogin is successful
2) Store initialize is successful
Now I have to fetch subset of data from the database table based on some conditions.
Could you please help to clarify the below queries?
1) Is it possible using eclipse plugins?
2) Can we achieve this feature only through Functional import feature using SAP NetWeaver Gateway Service Builder?

"Options for Selected Service" greyed out.

Help! I need to change QMaster from working with 1 processor to 4, but the option to change it is greyed out.
FCP 5.1.4 on Leopard (10.5.2)

Hi Zebra,
I noticed you where using FCP 5.
Make sure Qmaster 2 is updated by the way. But to reassure you of your question, they have corrected? this in FCP 6 with Qmaster 3.
However, if you open your "Activity Monitor" under your Utilties folder in your Application folder, you will find when you double click on the processor window it will maximize and show all processors activities. You should see if Qmaster is running right, all processors working anyway.
Not sure, why they grayed out 2.3.1, and opened it up in 3.
There are theories, on the net as well as legitimate testing that describes processor to ram ratios.
FCP (Compressor) runs better on a 8 core system with 4 cores("instances" in Qmaster Prefs) than all 8 running.
Try this link to see.
http://www.barefeats.com/octopro5.html
BUT in your situation, you are fine. There are some ways I believe in Qmaster 2.3.1 to change the scripting to adjust processor distribution, but thats beyond me.

BT have agreed to refund me for poor email service...

I've also posted this information as a reply to various other discussions so apologies if you've already read it
I have managed to get BT to agree to refund me for poor service since migration to BT mail on 1st October. I recommend others do so too.
Unfortunately BT can't authorise payment until the problem is fixed so you'll have to phone back sometime in the future to complete the process but it is important to log the complaint now.
First report a fault (by phone or email): I notified BT of slow service and too frequent time outs due to the firewall interface problem they had previously told me about - and, as a result of the repeated reload etc, excess bandwidth useage (more info below).
Note: Today, a very helpful person from the faults team called Mythilm told me that "It is an ongoing issue"; It is " a common fault on most customer accounts" "There will be a notification when the problem is solved. It is not known when that will be."
The BT bill team initially said that I would only be compensated for days since I had reported the fault. This was rescinded after I explained that the service section of the website had reported the faults on other days and it was unreasonable of them to require me to report the fault on those days (and in any case they wouldn't have wanted me to do so as their complaints line would have been overloaded).
Make sure that the person handling your complaint notes the days affected before your fault complaint is registered (in my case 15th Oct). The website was showing service outage messages on 1st and 2nd Oct. and another a week or so later - I think it was 9th. Unfortunately the faults history seems to be deleted from the website on a daily basis.
Phone and add more days if the fault appears again.
When you're notified that the situation has been resolved, phone BT's billing dept and claim the refund.
Good luck and please let others know what they can do. Maybe together we will persuade BT to improve the service very soon!
Note on broadband useage
I downloaded a bandwidth monitor which shows approx 50k /s every time I get a "system busy" or similar message and lasts anything from 5-15 secs. The timeouts happen every 4 mintes (I tested this with the support time team on 15th. Oct). Scale by the number of minutes you are logged in per day, the number of days affected and number of email accounts and the numbers soon get very big - I reckon it's 2G for me so far this month - which takes me over my bandwidth allowance. It's only £5.30 per 5G but I object to paying BT for bandwidth that is being imposed on me to deliver a non-functioning service!

I'm sure every body will be interested to see if this comes to fruition and you get compensation for the email service which BT say is a "free value added service".
Meanwhile I appreciate that you are trying to inform all users about this but please follow the forum guidelines.

Poor Service the whole nine yards

On Saturday, March 29, 2014, I purchased a "Deal of the Day," a Samsung Gear Watch and selected a pick up from Best Buy on Monroe Street in Toledo, OH. I live 28.1 miles from this location, but I happened to be passing it later that day. I got a confirmation email stated that my item was ready to be picked up. When I arrived, I went to the Customer Service Counter, where I have picked up other "Deal of the Day" purchases. The lady helping me, spent 15 minutes looking for my order, which she could not find even after asking for help. Between the two employees, they figured out to ask someone else where my item that was alreay purchased was. It was being held with the cell phones. They alerted the people I was coming over. I waited 15 more minutes while I watched a tech agent at the Samsung counter lounge on the counter, and four employees helping two customers. Once I finally got someone to help me, He pulls out my purchase, set my item down on the counter, and then, proceeded to tell me he couldn't ring me up because he didn't know how to check me out. He did check me out after another 5 minutes when he realized none of the four employees next to him would help. Anyone totaling my time yet? We're at 35 minutes and counting for a "Deal of the Day" pick-up. After all said and done, 40 minutes later I left the store even though I already had an email stating it was ready. Clearly it wasn't ready and neither were the employees prepared to handle customers that day. Lesson #1: Don't pick a Best Buy because you know you will pass it when you know there is a better one just down the road.
I digress to my purchase. I get it home, and I open it up to find it doesn't work. This brand new item doesn't work. Seriously? What was the point of spending 40 minutes in a store for an item that doesn't work? Great...so here comes part two.
I decided to go back to a familiar Best Buy on Freemont Pike, Perrysburg, OH. It is 12.3 miles closer than the first one. I take my item in, get my sticker at the door, and I'm being helped before I even get over to the Customer Service Counter. I tell them that it doesn't work, and the lady sends me over to the Samsung counter where they test it. He tells me it will take about 10 minutes. It takes him 3 minutes trying a combination of solutions for him to also determine the watch doesn't work. He says they don't have the same color in stock, and he asks if a different color is ok. He goes and gets another watch and takes me back to the Costumer Service Counter, and the lady proceeds to ring me back up. She gets half way through it and calls over a manager, and then informs me it will cost me $100 more to exchange the watch. The lady and the manager converse for a few minutes trying to problem solve so I don't own them $100 more to exchange a DEFECTIVE watch. Here were their solutions: 1. Just return the watch or 2. Drive 11.2 miles where another Best Buy (neither of which I have previously entangle with for this watch) where they have 3 watches that I can exchange them. Here is the catch, they can't ask them to hold the item till I get there because there are no holds. I guess I'm not like most Best Buy customers because I didn't have time to drive an addition 22.4 miles round trip out of my way because I had to go to work. Mind you, these people were as nice as could be, and I didn't have time to argue. Since I was unable to spend my day doing the leg work to find a watch that did work, I returned the watch per the options I was given.
I am now without a watch, and I am one unsatisfied customer. One of the things that store #2 mentioned was that "Deal of the Day' purchases are online purchases. With that in mind, I called the number. After explaining my situation, I filed a complaint with the first store for poor service, and then I asked her how I can resolve this problem to get a working watch. Her only option was she could sell me the same watch for $100 more than I paid for it minus $10 for inconveience or something. After a heated debate and no resolution. She had not one solution to the problem and no answer for how to avoid this situation. Here were some of the question she, a representation of the corporate office of Best Buy, could not answer,
1. Why can I not exchange my watch for one that works?
2. Why was I told that I had to either drive out of my way or just return the watch because the watch never worked to begin with?
3. Why did it take me 40 minutes to pick up an item that I already received an email stating it was ready?
4. If the product I purchase is defective, and I cannot exchange it for one that works, How can you justify selling an item that doesn't work?
5. Why will you not price match your own sale?
6. If I decide to make another "Deal of the Day" purchase, can you garuntee that it will work or I can exchange it for one that works?
7. Are you stating that you do not garuntee "Deal of the Day" items are authentic and not defective?
8. If you are corporate, do you stand behind the ordeal that I have endured just to purchase a watch?
What's the answer to all of these questions? It's a simple one, I will continue to call the coporate office daily until this matter has been resolved. If anyone has a better idea how I can get a watch that works for the same price I paid, I am all ears.
What has happened to Best Buy?

Dear bwbtheatre,
I know the “I can’t wait to get it home, rip it open, and start playing with it feeling”, but to do so and find out that it doesn’t work must have been frustrating. I’m glad that you were able to get better customer service upon your visit to the Perrysburg, OH store. If only the circumstances as to why you were there had been different. I appreciate you calling in to leave your feedback about the first store and it pains me to hear that it didn’t end with a desirable resolution for you. No need to call in every day, I will be your single point of contact to assist you in getting another Galaxy Gear. I hope to answer all your questions with this post.
(1) Due to your order being a Deal of the Day offer, the system wouldn’t do an even exchange if it’s not for the same exact sku on the same day of the offer. However, your situation was a little different due to the fact that you had a defective product. (2)The Perrysburg store could have performed the exchange and created order for In Store Pickup. This way, you could pick the new one up, at your convenience, from the store that showed stock of your desired color. They even could have had it shipped to you for free if that was desired as an alternative.
(3)Your first visit, at the Toledo store, should have been much quicker because normally all product would be kept at the Store Pickup area. A reason for keeping those smart watches in Best Buy Mobile might be, with a Mobile Associate performing the pickup, they could make sure you walk out working with your new smart watch paired to your phone.
(4/6/7)In the mass production process, there are bound to be “lemons” that turn up in the process, this is why we offer our Geek Squad Protection and also why manufacturer warranties exist. It wasn’t a question of, can we exchange it for a working product; it was more, what is the best way to do so? (5)When the store realized it was a Deal of the Day order, they should have made sure to process an exchange like I said. Normally, we wouldn’t price match backwards to a previous sale.
(8)This experience should have been a lot more efficient for you; therefore, I want to make sure both the Toledo and Perrysburg stores get your feedback. I am going to reach out to you via private message to gain some more details from those visits as well as your order.

BT infinity very poor service - what steps to canc...

Any one advise How I can cancel, without penalty, due to poor service?
I had BT Infinity installed end of January 2014 it was fine stable and running at around 65-68mbps until half way through May.
Then speed dropped to 19mbps but worse the connection would repeatedly drop staying up for no more than 5 minutes at a time and taking 10 or more attempts to reconnect. Checking the logs on Hub 5 often it would reconnect over 100 times a day.
I've had and engineer visit once a week now, because thats all India helpdesk can arrange, for over 2 months and each one treats the visit as if it's the first time. All they can do is check my equipment is OK which they all say is fine. If had the line moved to a different card in the street box. I've had 2 replacement Hub 5's.
Eventually in talking to one of the engineers, some are more clued up than others, I heard about RAIN engineers so I practically had to force India support to instigate this. They say they have put this in process but can't seem to report back to me anything from this. I finally got speed up to 30mbps but the connection is still unstable and as of my last call I have yet another engineer to wait in for on Monday (this will be about the 10th time I've wasted half a day!). I know full well and on site engineer can do absolutely nothing but reset the line speed which with the insatbility will drop again. So I've had enough I've been paying for the top package "unlimited data" at a significant price for a service I haven't had for over 2 months and I just want to cancel becuase of this and get a refund for poor service over that time. Every time I try to raise this with India I just get fobbed off as they really have no idea what they are doing and probably don't have the authority to handle this but BT provides no other obvious way to talk to some who can take this request to cancel seriously! Does anyone know who and where I can call, email or write to to get this usless service cancelled?

Can't see pricing options for Creative Cloud. :'(

Two things, Adobe:
1. When I try to click the "See All Plans" button on this page (Cloud-based software and services for creatives | Adobe Creative Cloud) I'm taken to a blank page (except for the unhelpful footer). The error console on my browser says there are a couple of errors, which are usually where this comes from.
plans:237 -- ReferenceError: Can't find variable: s
test_and_target.js:1:132 -- ReferenceError: Can't find variable: mboxDefine
I would love to see the pricing options for this service that you've built into all of your applications, but apparently I can't.
2. Apparently the forum is the only way to tell you guys about technical problems?

Signal booster for cell service

Seeing if anyone has any suggestions on this one. We have iphones. We WERE on ATT, which has horrible service where we are. So we purcahsed a Micro Cell tower when we had ATT numbers. But then we decided to go to another service, except this service still USES the ATT towers. The Micro Cell ONLY works with ATT phone numbers.
So now that we have different numbers, the Micro Cell is no longer any good.
Does anyone have any suggestions what brand SIGNAL BOOSTER we could get that would be good for ANY SERVICE, not just ATT??
Thanks

Thank you so much for trying that out claymeijer,
This is definitely an odd one! Let's deep dive in to this and make sure we cover all bases. Please ensure that you've added your numbers to the contact list via My Verizon. Here are the steps: http://vz.to/196jt5g
Also, please ensure your router has current firmware. This can be checked by visiting your routers website.
If issues persist, we would want to connect you to our Network Extender department.
Thanks!

Best option for boosting signal

Hi all,
For internet access I plug my mac directly in to my Time Capsule and then use my touch wirelessly throughout the house.
I lose signal strength toward the back of the house and sometimes lose the signal completely.
What is my best option for boosting the signal coming from the Time Capsule.
Oh, I have an old Airport Express Base Station if this can be used.
Cheers,
Steve

cheers for the info.
How can I tell if my Airport Express Base Station is using N wireless?
Is the G version just an older, slower version?
Cheers,
Steve

My wife and I have been with VZW for 10 years and for the last 7 we have had absolutely no service at our home. I refuse to pay to access by purchasing a signal booster because we already pay a "monthly access fee." VZW, as loyal customers, if you can't

My question is clearly stated in the discussion description. I know we are not the only ones having this issue. But we refuse to double pay for service!

See Our contract is due to end in Jan and we are considering switching providers. For the last 10 that we've been with Verizon, we've not been able to receive calls at our house where we spend most of our time so we are being charged for a service we are not
same person, new account today
I would not wait for a new tower after 7 years. Find service that works at your house or get the extender.
From a different perspective, over 10 years you paid maybe $18,000 for service. A cell tower costs $100,000 to $300,000 to build and $500 monthly fees. Not very economical to build a tower for you.

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. What do I do?

I bought my iPhone 4 open line in Vancouver, Canada last week for use here in my home base in Bangkok, Thailand. But when I tried using my Thai sim, I get a very weak signal, if not a weak signal, then a no service status. I also have very weak wifi reception. What do I do?
I already tried the following:
a. Turned the phone off and then on.
b. Checked all wifi connections – no problem given that all our laptops and desktops can connect seamlessly.
c. I tried restoring the phone to original factory settings via itunes
d. Tried resetting the phone.
e. Tried different microsims from all networks
f. However, all methods failed given that the network reception is very weak and often reflects – “no service”. And with regards to the wifi reception It has difficulty in reading even the signal right in front of the wifi router.
I went to two Apple resellers here in Bangkok and requested that they please look at my Iphone and have it serviced. I was frustrated when they said that given that I bought my phone in Canada, they are not able to support me and should instead try to contact the Apple store in Canada.
I went to apple.ca website and went to the expresslane support and I was said to register and callback. Tried calling the 1800 number but given that I was in Thailand I had difficulty getting a connection.

1st sentence, 4th page of the iPhone warranty found here:
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product.
From the Repair terms and conditions found here:
9. Availability of Service.
Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally sold the
hardware product, and to the countries listed in the table below. A list of authorized distributors is
available online at:
