Slowed dsl at certain times of day and weekends

For the past two months I've noticed that my speeds drop to 1Mb (normally I get 6.5 or better) from around 4:30pm to about midnight weekdays and all day on the weekends. Verizon tech support has been out twice and coming back again on monday but they cannot send someone at the time the problem is occuring so they never see an issue. I just read that this problem could be the result of overload on the Edge router. I'd like to request to be moved to a new edge router. I work from home and refuse to continue to pay for DSL speeds I'm not getting. Despite the added expense, I may be forced to switch to comcast.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try the Verizon Direct forum over at DSLReports. Let them know of the situation and they should be able to move you onto another edge router or some less congested equipment.

How do I schedule an automator script to run at a certain time every day?

How do I schedule an automator script to run at a certain time every day?
This used to be done through iCalendar and this option is no longer available.

You can use lauchd to run the script.
Here's an example of an Automator App that I have scheduled to run at 7am daily:
You would save this as com.yourname.plist and put it the the Folder: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ (then log out and back in, or reboot)
(To run a workflow, change open to automator)
(A nice GUI launchd editor is Lingon)

When I schedule my computer to sleep at a certain time every day, it goes to sleep at a completely different time.

I've been struggling with this problem for a bit.
I want the computer to sleep every night at 11pm, and wake every day at 9am.
I've set the times in the power saving preferences panel. No problem. However, at 19:42 every day, I'm told that the computer is scheduled to shut down, and do I REALLY want to do that? Of course I don't, so I cancel.
It wakes up pretty reliably at 9am, I'm pretty sure, but of course I have to put it to sleep myself.
I tried unchecking both items and quitting preferences, then coming back in, and the times are set back to 12:00AM. Then I set them to the times I want.
I THINK it might work for a little while after that, but then go back to this odd behaviour of trying to go to sleep at what seems to be an arbitrary time, though it's the SAME arbitrary time every day. :/
Anyone seen this?

MS spiking at certain times of day, World of warcr...

My MS keeps spiking really high during certain times of day lasting for between 30 minutes and 2 hours. It sometimes goes as high as over 3000 which makes gaming literally impossible.
I've done a pathing ping just now at gone 11PM with these results

This result is actually one of a few good ones, others have been much higher.
Why does it do this?

I been having this issue for close to 6 months now
Had engineers out/conntacted BT support ect.Appranrtly nothing is wrong according to them,but gaming online is immposible between 4pm--11pm for me.
Im postive it to do with traffic shaping/routing on the BT network.
Bt is a particilarly bad ISP if your a gamer tbh

My iPhone 4 crashes very often (3-4 times per day) and sometimes (2-3 times per month) all my apps disappear and I have to restore them with iTunes. I downloaded all the system updatings and I also tried to restore my device, but I still have this issue

If you haven't already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and with only the apps Apple includes. Then see if the problems persist. It's possible that a corrupted file on the iPhone is causing the problems, and that could perhaps be coming back onto the iPhone if you're restoring using a backup. Problems with an app could also be causing problems. If the problems persist after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you almost certainly have a defective iPhone and will need to contact Apple for servicing.
If the problems go away after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you can start putting your other apps back on and see if the problems reappear; if they do, you probably have a badly-coded app.

No, there are no apps that can do that, as no app would have access to the necessary API's to perform such a task.

Update Podcasts at a certain time of day

My ISP limits bandwidth during certain times of the day, and if I exceed a quota during the restricted hours, my connection speed is lowered. Is there a way to set iTunes to check for podcast updates / purchases at a user specified time of day?

I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

Run a section of code a certain time of day

I have a problem which I am stuggeling to get right.
At a certain time of the day, the process must run a verification sequence which must be completed.
I was thinking about using two time values, the one being the actual time and the other being the target time. Once the actual time is equal or more than the target time, some code must run. This code must run (verification sequence) before any other code can run.
Please any advice would greatly be appreciated

Rgs,

The suggestion above are correct in answer the question "how to compare times?" but there is an ancillary question that goes with this challenge that being "What time value do I compare with the current time?"
Sounds simple at first glance and in most situations is a no-brainer UNLESS your app is a 24X7 365 day never go down app. In that case you have to deal with Daylight savings time (Lets ignore leap years seconds etc for now). With DST, we have to deal with the fact that there is one day with 23 hours and another day with 25 hours. One of those days does not have a "2 O-clock" times and the other has two, one with DST true and another with DST false. The other complication that coes with that fact is that (in the US at least) the dates on which those 23 and 25 hour days occur are defined by the whims of governement ("Those who seek to change times and way.." Is that reveleations?) so you can't code for changes ahead of time.
If you get past that challenge, the other thing to take note of is that Windows displays the creation date of files in the current time (DST T/F) so a file created at 1:00 last night may have a creation time of 2:00.
I hope you don't have to deal with DST and if you do, at least you have been warned.

Westell 7500 drops DSL connection several times a day

Okay so ive had this problem for several weeks and ive about had it with verizon.
everything started off fine at first i had the modem bridged to my netgear router (because its a crap shoot and not powerful enough to run 2 xbox's and hardly 1) and for two weeks it was good till my house was struck by lightning and my router broke. i purchased the same router and reset the westell 7500 and bridged it again.
NOW for the past month about 3-4 times a day my dsl light on my westell will go from solid to flashing and all of sudden drop both me and everyone on my connection.
I have talked to several crappy tier 2 reps, and tier 3's with no fix still.

Seeing times in day and week view

Is it possible to see times (eg 7.00am, 7.30am, 8.00am, 8.30am, 9.00am, etc etc) along the y axis in day and week view of iCal? I can only see actual times when I in the process of making appointments, ie when wiping my cursor over a section of the page.

My Firefox crashes multiple times a day and it will not update, as I get update reminders. What shall I do, use Safari???

My Firefox crashes several times a day. I get update notices and try to update but the updates never load. I have a new MacBook Pro with no other issues. I have even tried deleting my Firefox and downloading a new ap. This is not working. I have been using Firefox since its inception and prefer it to Safari, but I am about to give up.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
