Slow/Non-existent LTE Service in Soho/NYC

I have an iPhone5 and work at Broome and Sixth Avenue in Soho NYC. When I initially switched from AT&T to Verizon last year I was getting slow but decent 4G/LTE speeds at work. but for the past 3 months service has been non-existent all day indoors. When I turn off LTE service on my phone and go to 4G it is about 10 times faster.
My questions are:
Why doesn't the phone automatically switch over to 3G when there is no LTE service?
And why do I get for bars and the LTE indicator when the service is so slow I cannot even run a speedtest or connect to any apps' servers?
thanks!

The second question - you have "service" as in you are connected, but Verizon has had capacity issues with LTE in NYC for quite some time now (and have not made any noticable improvements in at least the past year apparently), so you will constantly see disconnects or slow speeds....
Some related open threads for midtown, but apparently downtown and soho are suffering now as well (look at the "support" discussed in these threads as well...sadly, nothing to brag about to your friends on other carriers in NYC)

Just a hunch - if a VZ rep responds to your post, you will get a response similar to the following:
"What's your zip code? Let me investigate the issue. We want you to have great LTE speeds. Have you ever had a trouble ticket open?" Then once you supply the information, it will go unanswered or you will be told that they either a) see no issues with the area, or b) acknowledge capacity issues, but can't tell you of any upcoming improvements.
Sorry, probably not the response you were looking for...but it's the unfortunately sad state of VZW in NYC these days.

Non-Existent Customer Service for English Speakers in China

Well folks I need some help.
I am a native English speaker living in Southern China. We do not have an Apple Store in our city. As a result we have to go to an authorized service center. So my story is real long and let me give you the short version. My iphone 5 has a broken screen and a recall for the broken power button. Its currently been sitting at the service center for four days. I have called the Applecare China number and have been selecting English service. This bounces me to either Singapore or Australia. So a senior customer relations advisor granted an exception for the cracked glass. Problem is the service center has no one that reads a lick of English. This to me is fine being that it is a small city in China. So the situation is that the service center does not know how to process my phone even though there is an exception for the screen and a recall for the power button. I have been calling once a day to the Applecare number asking for an update. Each day I get transferred to the senior customer relations advisor that promise to research the situation and call me back with an update or resolution. Sadly I am on day four and after speaking to a total of 10 regular agents and 6 senior advisors and not a single person has called me back nor has my phone been repaired. I am growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of movement on the repair of my phone. I have gone into the service center 5 times and they are waiting for instructions from Applecare China. The first time I went in they wanted all my original receipts and passport. As an American that has taken defective items back to Apples Stores around America I have never met this level of scrutiny. The phone clearly has a serial number and EMEI number. So I am confused why China consumers are subjected to this scrutiny. There seems to be a major communication gap between the Australia/Singapore and China operations. Supposedly my case is filled with English and Chinese comments. Sadly there has been no one that can read both English and Chinese looking at this case file. As soon as I select English I am bounced out of the China Applecare world.
After a total of 6 hours on the phone I am no closer to getting my phone back. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this? I have the emails of 3 senior customer relations of people that I have been dealing with. Sadly none of them seem willing or able to assist me?

duh. I thought it was pretty evident in my previous posting. I apologize as I was under the impression that most of the users on this board are native English speakers.
Yes, a large number are. However, that doesn't change the fact that you don't appear to have asked a technical support question that can be answered by fellow users.
I will break it down in more simple terms. How do I get my phone back from Apple?
Your post indicates that it is not Apple that has your phone but rather an Authorized Service Center. What happens when you ask them to give it back to you? Are they refusing to return it to you?

Decreasing speeds, non existant customer service.

Thanks BT for yet another amazing customer service experience.
On the 30th my broadband kept dropping and reconnecting which you blamed on an exchange fault, and told me it would be fixed.
Next you booked me an engineer callout without telling me. The first I heard about it was when he phoned me at work to say he was outside when I was the other side of London.
I called again, you rebooked the engineer for Friday 3rd June, despite me telling you there would be no-one home to let him in. Unsurprisingly he also phoned me at work on Friday to tell me I wasnt home.
Meanwhile the broadband disconnecting problem seems to have fixed itself, hurrah!
Sadly the connection stabilty came at the cost of 50% of my download speed. I used to get 38mb/s now I get 19mb/s if I'm lucky.
The drop in my upload speed is even more impressive: from around 7mb/s upload it currently stands at a whopping 0.44mb/s.
Interestingly my IP profile according to the BT Speedtester suggests a 20mb download which is much lower than it used to be. It also says 10mb upload, which I get nowhere near.
I was feeling optimistic and thought I'd try support again. I enjoy being told to reset my equipment in broken English while another mythical "line test" is run. However this time I dint even get that far.
I called 100, they told my they were busy and they could log a call back, I was shocked - a sensible idea! I left my mobile number and lo and behold 20 minutes later a call from BT!.... from the wrong department.
After a fruitless 10 minute conversation where the cheerful girl said "uh-huh" to everything I said, she then put me throught to the broadband fault line and I was promptly disconnected.
I think I shall try the 0800 111 4567 line - it's started ringing at 21:18 - updates to follow...

Unfortunately, I'm getting the same experience.
I was exstatic to actually be pulling around 38Mb when my Fibre was installed, trouble is, that was short lived.
I run a business from home, so I was ordering Infinity as soon as the lines opened on the day my exhange started taking orders. Sure enough, the engineer said I was no.1 in my area.
Unfortunately, those speeds have already slid in just a few months
To make things worse, there is a known fault with the Openreach Fibre Modems. Eventually they will pack-up!
A component inside overheats and the modem is toast. I thought it was strange when (on installation day) the engineer made a point of stating they can't be put down on carpet.
After the really hot weather about 9 days ago, my Openreach Fibre Modem suffered this fatal fault and my service was down for a day. The engineer swapped the Openreach box and everything was fine again, but they are still trialing a replacement, so this unit will no doubt fail at somepoint too.
To compound matters, they practice a standard procedure of capping your line when theres a fault and even though they insist the caps have now been removed, I'm only getting just over 20Mb 9 days later.
I'm grateful for what I'm getting on the one hand, but before anyone moans about their paulty ADSL speeds, that's not the point. I'm paying quite a lot of business broadband and I was quite hoping with Infinity and beyond (pardon the pun), we would have finally got away from the sales & marketing speeds versus the real world

Non Existant Customer Service

Like so many others, the strike affected my ability to get service installed. I get that. I'm not thrilled about, but I get it, stuff happens. I wish I were the only one, but anecdotally my scenario seems all too common. Unfortunately, how everything has been handled with getting "servicing" customers has been nothing but lies, broken promises, and brush offs. Allow me to be very specific about my issues:
My order was placed on August 2, several days before the strike; ultimately installation was scheduled for August 16th... a windows of exactly 10 business days later. In the interim, Verizon employees go on strike. Naturally, I suspected this would impact my installation, though I wasn't too happy, of course. Called up Verizon to verify and was told "Oh no, your appointment is still booked, you should be good to go. We will call you if we have to reschedule for any reason." The night of August 15th, I get an e-mail that my appointment can't be made, and I will be contacted to reschedule. To be clear, this was not a phone call as told. And was well after I'd made arrangements with my job to be home the following morning.
A few days later, the strike ends.... hooray! Verizon sends e-mails and updates their web sites with the great news and how they'll contact me to get my installation rescheduled. Of course, by Wednesday afternoon, I hadn't so much as heard a word. And my attempts to call were greeted with a recorded message that they will be in contact with me. Finally I get in touch with a representative via the online chat tool, who gets me an installation date of 9/7 (if you're keeping count, that's _another_ 10 business days out from the day I contacted) Seeing as I already had my order in four business days before the strike, the fact that I now have to wait ten more (and keep in mind this contact was made two business days post strike) is already ridiculous.
But, there's a problem with updating my order, and someone in a different department will have to get back to me to confirm my order status. I'm promised a call back within 24 hours. I get a text on my phone confirming it, and the repair status online tool confirms the same, with a commitment time of exactly 24 hours later.
Surprise, that 24 hours comes and goes, so that night I'm back online with the service representative trying to figure out why it hasn't been rectified. After some apologies, I'm scheduled for the first available appointment... on 9/9. I've now lost another two days becuase of Verizon's inability to get me booked. (Note that I now have a date for 11 business days out from the time I'm talking with the rep) Representative confirms that I am booked for the morning of 9/9.
Today (Saturday 8/27) I get a phone call from Verizon to "schedule my installation". After explaining I'd already done so, it seems there's no appointment booked for me, but they can give me the first available on 9/13. (12 business days from today)
To say that this is beyond unacceptable customer service would be an understatement. Now, four different times I have been jerked around. When does it end? Sadly, too many parts of this country have no real competition in this market space, else I would surely be taking my business to one of them instead.

The most recent contact I had from anyone at Verizon was over the weekend, saying that I'd get a response from a tech within 48 business hours. Which meant EOD today. Guess what? Not a peep. Again. Another lie from Verizon.
I suppose I'm just continually being told, we'll get back to you in a day or two, in the hopes that I can be given the same canned lines and **bleep** enough times that eventually the install date (now 29 days after the originally agreed upon date) will arrive and the issue will be irrelevant. Well, I can assure you, the issue is still relevant, and will remain relevant until I get resolution.

H.P. non existent customer service.

What an utter shambles Hewlett Packard is. Take your money and thats it. I cannot even find my query on this site and if it is there donot expect an answer any way. Fancy having to go on a site like this to get any service at all. This from a multimillion Company. frank21

Very slow/non-existant connection and crackling no...

Hi, I am using Homehub option 2 (if I remember correctly, where can I check this?) and as the title says I am getting a very slow and sometimes no connection at all from my boardband, as well as crackling noises from the phone itself for 2 weeks. The connection is so bad I have to use BT FON on my neighbour's to visit this forum. I phoned up once last Saturday and the guy told me there were some construction problems nearby and I had to wait. On Monday I received a text saying the fault had been fixed. I wasn't at home at all until Wednesday so I hadn't the chance to check. However the problem is still there and the crackling noise on my phone is too loud for me to phone them again. Anyway, enough with my rambling. Here's my ADSL line status.

When first activated, your line is 'fully rate adaptive'. This means there's no upper limit to your sync speed (within the capabilities of your broadband product).
If your line drops frequently, has a high error rate or severe noise problems, a banded profile can be applied to aid stability.
This will force your line to sync within the range of an assigned band and is used to limit the sync rate when it's not stable above a certain rate.
The table below shows the bands used on ADSL2+ products. Details of the bands used on FTTC products has not yet been published by BT Wholesale.

Slow/non-existent data connection on 3GS/iOS 4.0.1

I have been a happy 3GS user since last December. About three days ago, I synced to iTunes and installed the latest software update, to iOS v4.0.2. Since then, whenever I try to access any web page in Safari, it just sits there for a while trying to access the page before eventually coming up with a message that it was unable to access the web page "because the server stopped responding". The same happens if I try to use the data connection via another app (e.g. Facebook). I should add that everything works fine if I connect via WiFi.
I did manage to get on the web yesterday evening when I was in a city centre area with five bars of 3G signal strength, but even then it took ages to load a web page. I have always had between about two and four bars of signal strength at home, and this has always been sufficient to load web pages reasonably quickly.
I usually use the 3G data connection several times a day, and have never experienced this problem until now. I've just got off the phone with O2 technical support – they asked me first to reset network settings and then reset all settings, but neither of these made any difference. They left me with two suggestions: go to an o2 store and ask them to try my SIM card in a different handset (I don't have much faith in this working), or do a factory reset/restore via iTunes. I'm loathe to do this unless absolutely necessary, as I guess it means losing all my data and having to resync everything from scratch.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions other than what the o2 guy said? Is there any way I can get back to 4.0.1, which worked fine?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Wow, our responses are starting to get long.

It's a pity he didn't (or wouldn't) change the SIM. It probably took him longer to explain to you that he didn't need to test the SIM that it would have take to set up a new SIM and test it.
So unfortunately, you still don't know for certain that it's not a SIM issue.
I agree it's a pity. I really wanted to be eliminate this as a possible cause, but I couldn't make the guy do it.
Maybe try another store, or do it over the phone and get them to send you one out?
I did a full restore – and incidentally discovered that the backup I made before applying the 4.0.2 OS update was not available to restore – I'm guessing it may have been corrupted or something. So I've had to revert to a backup that was saved in June, which is a bit of a pain. Anyway, the restore has changed nothing in terms of connectivity – with 3 bars of 3G signal, no web page will load – I just get the spinner in the status bar at the top of the screen, and eventually a message saying that the server has stopped responding.
Did you restore to 'new' or tried to the backup? You need to try it to 'new' as this erases all previous settings.
I restored it to the backup. I guess I need to restore it to new – which is a pain because it means I then have to manually reset any settings for mail accounts, etc.
You need the restore to 'new' so you have a clean phone, test in internet connection with nothing added and see what happens.
Personally I don't particularly like the way iTunes backs up. It's probably fine when this are all good, but when testing or trying to fix issues, I find it a bit limited.
All the Backups on your Mac go to this location;
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The issue I have with it is that in the backup folder, some of the files are overwritten each time that a backup occurs, making only the last backup available for restoring.
Yes, I find that pretty annoying to. I've just lost two months' worth of text message history because of it.
My work around for this is to copy the complete backup folder then in the copied folder I open the Info.plist file with TextEdit and edit the Device Name string by adding the date. When you then open iTunes and try to restore from backup, multiple backups are displayed.
You said you copy the entire folder before editing the Info.plist file. I presume you put the copied folder in the same location as the original?
In the backup folder, there is a folder with a big long alphanumeric name. Make a duplicate of this and leave it in the backup folder, so there is the original folder and copy of original folder. then edit the info file in the duplicate.
Once done, open itunes without the phone connected and go to iTunes > Preferences > devices and you should see your extra backup appear in the list there.
When you edit the info file change the following line:
+<key>Display Name</key>+
+ <string>[robgrayson]’s iPhone 20100511</string>+
I add a date at the end of the line. This line is then displayed in iTunes as the name of the backup
I also set iTunes to not automatically sync when the iphone is connected. This give the control back to me of when and how often I backup.
Yes, I changed this setting yesterday too.
Do you use Time Machine to back up your Mac? If so, you could restore the backup location on your Mac to before you did the restore and bring back you most recent backup that way.
Yes, I do use TM – I've been using it for a couple of years but have never actually had to restore anything. Just to be clear, I suppose you mean restore the backup folder from before I did the iOS upgrade, and then restore my phone from that?
How about this: if I do a restore from new first and see if that makes any improvement, do I then have an option of applying a dated backup (or would I have to go through the whole restore process again in order to do so)?
Yes, Navigate to the backup folder location, open time machine and restore to yesterday or when ever the last back was.
Duplicate the backup as above as a precaution.
Check iTunes recognises it. (make sure iTunes is closed when you are adjusting the backup files.
Restore to 'new' and check the phone. If it all is OK and working, its probably something in the backup and you don't want it back on your phone, and you will have to manually restore everything.
So unfortunately, you don't seem to be any closer to resolving the issue. Let us know if you want any more help, or alternately how you go with Apple.
I may try restoring from a previous backup via Time Machine, as you suggested. (This should also give me back my lost text messages.) There are also rumours that iOS 4.1 will be released today, so I may give that a try first.
Thanks once again for your very helpful suggestions.
If I were you, I would try to get the phone working before you worry about 4.1

What's up with slow 4G LTE service in Charlotte, NC?

Having problems with extremely slow 4G LTE service in Charlotte. It's almost non-existent.

Very slow or non-existent broadband in the evening...

Why is it that when you contact BT about a slow or non-existent BT broadband every evening, they doggedly maintain that testing the line and waiting seven days will solve the problem? My BT broadband works wonderfully well during the daytime but slows to a standstill in the evening, not really a line problem, rather a bit of exchange congestion I think, unless of course you believe in conspiracies.
What if BT are actually setting the lines that have the old white HomeHub and Internet phone to a lower priority than the Infinity lines, to boost the performance of the new connections and encourage, (force), the current HomeHub users to upgrade? I rather like having two telephone lines, and would rather not upgrade and lose the second line, but I feel that this is not what BT want.
So if I'm forced to upgrade and lose the Internet phone it's off to Sky, those Murdochs need all the help they can get.
Solved!

Schema Node referencing a non-existent Service Field.... in MDM 2.0.1

Hi,
In MDM 2.0.1, I created the following(in order) :
1.UOM
2.Measuring Component Type
3.Device Configuration Type
4.Service Provider
5.Device Type
6.Device
But when trying to Configure the created Device, its showing some error as...
*Schema node isNewCase (/schema/[includeDA F1-CommonToDoEntryData]/isNewCase) references non-existent service field NEW_CASE_SW.*+
After this has happened, i couldn't even add another configuration to some of my Existing Devices..
(But for Some existing devices, adding a new configuration doesn't throwing errors..)
Please help regarding this...

Hello again,
we found out that there must be at least an element configured on the Seeder Sync Request Master Configuration business object. We are now moving forward to make the service work.
Any working example will be appreciated.

What's Up with Slow 4G LTE Service in Boston Area?

The 4G LTE service in the Andover/Methuen/Salem, NH area used to be around 18-24 Mbps, now it's 3-14 Mbps and it's sporadic.
What's going on with the inconsistent 4 G LTE service? Anyone else in the area having issues?

Vanessa,
I reported the issues with slow LTE speeds and all details to Verizon tech support over 4 days ago. I'm using ookla Speedtest which is the same app I used several months ago when LTE speeds were running in the 18-24 Mbps range.
Not sure why you need zip codes since I provided the cities and towns in my last post, but you can use Andover, MA as a midpoint which is 01810. Time of day doesn't make a lot of difference nor does a particular location. At home, 4 of 5 bars for signal strength is typical so signal strength shouldn't be a factor. Last week I spent almost an hour on the phone with tech support troubleshooting my phone and comparing performance with another iPhone 5 and could not find any issues with the phones and their settings. I have 4 iPhone 5's which provide the same performance, which rules out a single bad phone.
I've been in contact with two Verizon tech support reps; one said I should see between 0.75 to 3 Mbps on average and the other had no idea of what a reasonable average LTE speed should be for the area. Surely Verizon has benchmarks they use to track network performance, but either the actual information is not being provided to tech support or it's just not being disclosed to customers.
Before writing this reply, my LTE speeds dropped to a low of 0.5 Mbps and didn't exceed 3 Mbps until yesterday, when I saw ~8 Mbps once or twice, then back down to 0.5 to 1 Mbps.
The results of four random tests this morning are as follows: (all are download speeds)
10 AM: 12.76 Mbps and 10.66 Mbps
11:05 AM: 0.73 Mbps and 0.49 Mbps
While this has been going on I decided to visit your competitors store and was amazed at the LTE performance I witnessed on their network. With a Samsung Galaxy, the download speed was close to 60 Mbps using the same ookla Speedtest app - and yes I am sure that was not in-store Wifi - the phone clearly showed LTE was running. That test was repeated 3 times with approx the same result. Using my iPhone 5 in the same in-store location the results were quite different - an average of 3 Mbps in the store and 5 Mbps on the second level of the mall.
Back 4 days ago, tech support advised my concerns would be addressed by the Verizon network team, followed by a response from tech support within 72 hours, usually less, but I have yet to receive a response.
WHEN is Verizon going to step up and respond?

Invisible engineer fixing a none-existant service

So BT booked an engineer visit for today between 1 and 6 to fix my none-existent service as I've now had 3 weeks of unusable none-existent service. Waited in all day, 3:45pm I called BT to double check that he is actually going to show up, and was told repeatedly that he'll definately show... 6pm has gone and past and no one showed up so that was an outright fabrication. Service is not fixed, my ticket got marked as resolved and the service is still unusable. NOTHING what so ever has changed and I'm really really **bleep** off as I told work I'd be able to get something done over the weekend. Again I'm being lied to. I'm not paying BT another cent until this is fixed, they can demand money, pass me onto credit agencies or take me to court... they are not getting a single cent out of me until this problem is fixed and the internet is working I'm tired of getting screwed around

If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.

Creating a Socket to non-existent host very slow

Why does it take a long time to try to create a Socket to a non-existent host on a Linux machine? On a Windows machine it takes approx. 20 sec., but when I try it on a Linux machine it takes approx. 180 sec.!
Here's the code I'm using (very simple):
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class SocketCreator {
public static void
main(String[] args) {
long _begin = System.currentTimeMillis();
try {
new Socket("10.10.10.10", 2000);
} catch (UnknownHostException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();
long _end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("It took: " + (_end - _begin) + " ms.");
Some additional info:
- Java2 SDK 1.1.x, 1.3.x and 1.4.x
- Windows XP
- Red Hat 7.2, 9

This is really a Linux system-wide problem. If you wanted to fix this in Java, you might even have to resort to JNI to sent yourself a signal and interrupt your system call (the system call is connect()).
Unfortunately, the page give by "man tcp" on Linux is often not kept up-to-date with the many options available in /proc/sys/net/ipv4 .
Also, access to the local LAN will often give a quick "No route to host" message.
To test the long-timeout, you have to access a remote IP that does not exist. For instance, on Linux, if you start two xterms, and on the firxt you enter:
telnet 66.120.89.14
and on that second your enter
netstat -an
You will see something like this line:
tcp 0 1 192.168.5.18:32836 66.120.89.14:23 SYN_SENT
So now you know that the socket is sitting in SYN_SENT.
Now, if you look on a nice, full man page of tcp, like
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man7/tcp.7.html
You will see
tcp_syn_retries
The maximum number of times initial SYNs for an active TCP connection attempt will be retransmitted. This value should not be higher than 255. The default value is 5, which corresponds to approximately 180 seconds.
Back on the second xterm, try:
% cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries
5
I bet you got five also. You could turn it down to two (decreases time to around 20 seconds).

Why would they sell a phone that was defective? Why do they not own up that the device did not and has not functioned?
Let me add some other issues I missed.
7) Dials multiple times the same number.
8) Dials the number minutes after trying to call a phone number
9) constantly force closes applications.
10) Battery life is non existent (I have bought at least 8 spare batteries)
11) Slow to respond
Let me just post what I have done.
1) I stopped by a store
2) Called customer service
3) tried to create a question in forum and verizon deleted it.

I keep getting calls from non existing area codes and phone numbers. They are never the same number twice. How do I stop this?

About a week ago I started getting phone calls on my cell phone from numbers that do not exist, including the area codes. I can not report these to the Do Not Call list because the area code is non existent. I'm getting these calls all the time now and never from the same number twice so there's no point in blocking them. If I answer I may or may not get a person who has an accent from India so heavy that I can't understand what they are saying. This is getting to the point where I just want to cry I'm so frustrated. Anyone else having this issue or does anyone know how to stop it?
Thank you

I'm sorry that you are having all these troubles. I have sent you a private message.
