Speed Drops by 94.74% Between 6pm and 8pm returns ...

Hello,
I've contacted BT a total of 25 times now, and spoke to various departments explaining that throughout the day my broadband sits around 38Mbps, but between 6pm and 8pm my connection drops to around 2Mbps every evening for the past few weeks. I've had people call me back between these hours when my speed has drops to run tests to be told it shows on their end I am syncing at 40Mbps, but I can see on my end the throughput is 2Mbps or less. It's the same story each time. I've tested multiple devices both wired and wireless (wired connected to the master socket) I have had a brand new BT router sent out to be which has not resolved the problem, and a new faceplate installed which did not resolve the problem. I have had an openreach engineer arrive at 8am in the morning although I have no issues during the day, and surprisingly he could find no faults with the line or the router. He contacted the RAINS department to check for interference, and they told him there was no interference and that the sync speed is 40Mbps and that they would need to speak to the fibre help desk who reported back the same, and suggested it could be a hot VP (congestion) he spoke to the department who deals with that to be told that it's not a congestion problem otherwise other people would of reported the same issue as me. Congestion and Interference are supposedly not the issue and the sync speed never drops, but the throughput speed does each and every night between 6pm and 8pm. The engineer told me he could do no more on his end, and I would have to escalate the issue which I have done so far, but BT do not seem to be able to help me or indentiy the problem. I was promised an engineer to come at 6pm to catch the problem, but no one turned up so the engineer who did all the above tests came this morning at 8am even though I told BT my issue is not during the day only betwen 6pm and 8pm up until midnight and straight after midnight the issue resolves itself and I have normal speed again. I have no noise on the line, and have had all that tested by openreach engineer who said everything internal is fine. Can moderators please help me and other people suggest what I can do next? I am not sure how to take this further now. Would a lift and shift potentially fix the issue? I have noticed my ping during the day seems to sit around 26ms but when I get issues it increases to 40 to 70+
NOTE: TO BE CLEAR THE SLOW SPEED IS NOT JUST BETWEEN 6PM AND 8PM ITS JUST BETWEEN THESE TIMES THAT THE SPEED FIRST DROPS, BUT CONTINUES TO BE 2Mbps UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

Broadband unusable between 6pm and 12 pm since las...

From last week, every evening without fail the broadband speed plummets to as low as 0.15. During the day its usually around 14/15 mbps then around 6pm it becomes unusable until around midnight. It seems to be at peak times the speed is crippled and even loading pages is impossible. I spent an hour on the phone doing the usual changing channels, speed tests which ended with him not knowing what the problem was and telling me to wait until the morning for the interference to clear. There were no problems for months up until last week and now it is practically useless. I'm using a USB network adapter and wondering if anyone has any solutions or fixes for this? Thanks

Can you post the adsl stats from your router and also run btspeedtester and when first test completes then run diagnostic test. Do not reset the router before the test.
The test needs to be done with wired connection and preferably from test socket if possible

Broadband speed drop

HI All
My broadband speed has dropped since 1st December, i am on a 10mb line but since then the connection has drop to 1.4mb-1.8mb. I have done regular speed checks in the morning, afternoon (6pm) and around 9.30pm, but the speed has stayed constant since then and i gather 5 days is enough to find help. I have asked my neighbour and their internet speed is ok, I have checked my router and i think it's working properly. Is there a website to find out work beening done in my exchange? It's starting to get annoying watching HD youtube videos on my Ipad as it loads extremely slow.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I totaly forgot my router password so i had to reset it. The settings should be the default like my orignal settings. I did another speed test and it the same as the last 5-6 days/

Broadband Speed dropped and wont come back

Hi, I need help and advice please.
Background info first though, so please bare with me.
During last July 2011 I was fed up of very low speeds and managed to get a BT engineer out to check the wiring etc... He did a great job by finding a badly insulated cable between myself and the Cabinet in our village. He also changed our master socket to a newer version.
Over the next few days my broadband speed went from 0.74mb download to 1.95mb download. Fantastic!
This speed has pretty much been a consistent rarely dropping below 1.7mb and at times has even gone up to my highest recorded of 2.46mb. I thought this was brilliant, I could watch iPlayer no problems and xbox live was even bearable (most of the time).
The big problem where I live is sometimes we have power cuts. Sometimes lasting hours but mainly just for seconds. Even so it switches the BB router off. (I know, but not my fault)
When we had the freak snow fall the other month problems started to raise their head. The computers in the household found issues connecting to the router and to resolve this BT BB Helpdesk kept advising me to reset router to enable connection. After connecting new ADSL filters the speed returned but connection issues continued.
BT supplied me with a brand new home hub 3 which I connected thinking it would give me my 2.4mb speeds again. Oh No. To be fare I think I was getting 1.95mb but I wanted more, as most people would. Why cant I get 2.4mb most of the time I have had for a few months.
Anyway I contacted BT who were kind enough to send a BT engineer out. He Said to me the Broadband speed is put out at the exchange (4.5km) at 8mb and comes into our village at between 3mb and 4mb. He detected no fault on the lines and spent the next 3 hours renewing 'D' and 'E' I think side of cabling (found this out later). He mentioned the noise was high but did something to lower it. On leaving he said I had 2.5mb and was confidant it would rise to 3mb.
Great not drastic but should give me 250kbs to 50kbs extra.
The day he was at my house we had 2 short power cuts followed by another couple some days later. This has not helped I'm sure.
NOW TO THE ISSUE.
My download speed since that day has not gone above 1.46mb download and every time I speak to the call centre they tell me my line is only capable of 2mb therefore 1.46mb is within acceptable range.
I am so tired of explaining that I was capable of receiving 2.4mb some 2 months ago yet now since the new hub 3 and line fiddling I am only capable of a 2mb downstream - 1.46mb DLS.
I know I have to wait 3 - 10 days but with power cuts its a nightmare, and they are so adamant about my 2mb downstream limit What the hell has happened.
Here is a link to my recorded (Speedtest.net) data over the past 11 months showing actual proof of receiving 2.46mb:

Hi JONNYYOUNG,
I'm not educated enough to help but it mat reassure you, as it did me, to know your circumstances are not unique.
Your story sounds very simialr to my experiende last November, speeds and line length being very similar. An engineer said there was noise on my line so he switched me to another pair. Did the engineer do that for you too ? Net result my speed dropped from ~2.3 to ~1.4Mbps.
Fortunately a 21CN upgrade at my excahnge has brought my speed back up to ~2.4Mbps.
I'm sure imjolly, john46 and maybe a mod if you need it will sort you out as well as they did me.
Good luck,

BT Infinity evening and weekend speed drops

Hi,
I have a BT Business Hub 5 and Infinity package.
My connection during the working week in the day is usually around:
27.95MB/s down, 4.63Mb/s up and a ping of around 20ms.
Often in the evenings and on weekends the speed drops to around:
1.5MB/s down, 4.5Mb/s up and a ping of anywhere between 20ms and 60ms
I called up BT Business suport and raised a ticket to only have an email the next day stating your issue has been resolved, however it has not been resolved. Obviously they done a test in week day during the day when it is usually fine and not in the evening or on the weekend.
Basically my old 8Mb package from BT was often faster in the evenings and on weekends, with a typical connection of:
3.5 to 5Mbps down and a 0.35Mbs up, ping times were between 20ms and 120ms)
This translates to if I was on my old 8Mb package from BT I could download at around 720Kbs max during the evenings and weekends instead of 160Kbs.
Anyone actually got BT to solve this? I've read a lot of posts so far where people are just writing letters of complaint and contacting the ombidsman.
Is there is a resolution to this?
Thanks
D

Upgraded from HH3 to HH5 and Speed Dropped Straigh...

Hello All,
I did a very foolish thing earlier in the week. I ordered a Home Hub 5 to replace my Hub 3. I installed it today and immediately the download speed dropped from an average 71megs (+BT WiFi Allowance) to 61megs. I spoke to online support and they basically told me I was only guaranteed about 55meg. Now, I have been getting 71 for more than a year - completely constant. No problems, very little variation. BT Wholesale Speedtest shows my download speed has dropped to 61.00 and my profile is set to 62.28. The slowdown is quite noticable in use. I presume the changeover has caused my line to be re-profiled which, naively, I didn't expect to happen as I was only changing the hub. My hub stats are shown below. Any help would be most appreciated. I have to say though that I should have followed the expression 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' and left things well alone!
Best wishes and kind regards,
Roy Bennett

I have an update........ after several calls to India I finally found a level 2 Tech that seemed to know what he was doing, very helpful well spoken guy called Sanjeev (pobably never get him again).
I told him that my HH5 drops out and is very unstable and I should get 75meg but was fluctuation between 6 and 32meg on wi fi.I told him I hve reverted back to my old Huib 3 and Router setrup and both him and an engineer that visited me said that ws a good move. He told me to do the following:
Go into the hub and change the channel to 11
turn all media off that was connecting to the wi fi, from mobiles to laptops and iPads and even the Youview box
unplug the Router then the HH3 and leave off
he then resent the line to clear as he said "static/cache on the line and anything holding memory"
a few minutes later he came back and said to start up the white Router untill the power and DSL lights were on and steady
turn the HH3 back on and wiait for the 3 blue lights
fire up my wireless laptop and go to Speedtest.net and check the speed and consistancey
The result.......... back up to 36meg wifi which is what it used to be in my conservatory and steady as a rock. I get steady 75meg wired and I expect about 50% loss for the distance away through wi fi.
I am now getting a £33 refund for my trouble and am now trying to arrange for the refund of my HH5 which I have told them is "Not fit for purpose" and asked for my contract to be reverted to before I upgraded. Watch this spce for update
Phew!

BT Infinity 2 Speed dropped and now doesn't recove...

I've had BT Infinity 2 for a couple of years now and it has been working flawlessly. I use a Fritz!Box 7390 router and have had no problems at all with it.
That is until mid-January 2014 when I noticed by connection speed dropping down to less than 40MB/s and about 9MB/s on the upload. Now some may say that this is fine, and it does exceed my promised speed of 31MB/s by BT, which is true. However for the last two years I've constantly had speeds of 55-70Mb download and upload speeds of 13-18MBs.
Speedtest.net is reporting: 40Mb download and 10.3 Mb upload.
I do a lot of file transfers and remote server work so I notice the speed drop.
The Frtiz!Box reports some interesting statistics. Currently it is showing this:
Receive Send
Max. DSLAM throughput 44000 12000
Min. DSLAM throughput 22000 6000
Attainable data rate 46200 18176
Current throughput 43984 12000
Now I know for a fact that prior to this issue the Fritz!Box has been reportinging a Max. DSLAM throughput of 79000 and 20000 with an attainable data rate of 81000 and 24000 respectively. I suspect that there is something wrong either at the exchange DSLAM or with the line in between.
From the above figures it suggests that I am only obtaining BT Infiinty 1 speeds on my line and not Infinity 2. However my account says Infinity 2 and checking with the BT guys they report that there is no problem because I'm getting more than that promised 31 MB/s.
Frustrating as I know this has changed in the last three weeks. What's more suspecious is that I have the Fritz!Box sete to disconnect/reconnect every day at 4am. This means that every day normally I get a varying speed e.g. one day it might report 60/14, the next 55/13, etc. However since I've noticed this problem the line speed never changes, constantly reporting 44/12 with no fluctuation at all. This has been happening for about 3-5 weeks.
I just wondered if there is anything I can do now to find out where or really if there is a problem. BT 150 telephone support in India don't want to know because they say I'm getting more than 31Mbs.
Thanks,
Gareth.

Huge speed drop and connection problem when answer...

About 2 days ago my internet speed dropped hugely and it's almost now unuseable. I've run a speed test and the results are below. Any idea on what to do to get this resolved?
Also, every time I answer a call or disconnect a call the broadband connection is los which is very annoying! Again, any ideas about thats causing that?
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps

AndyMc what you have supplied is the wireless connection rate between the router and your wireless adapter this is not related to anything from Bt. This is the connection rate which I am sure would be related to a channel issue more than the connection dropping. Here is a link to the help site that will assist especially the link with regards changing the wireless channels. http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11381/c/346,1887,1889
Make the change and then disconnect and reconnect the wireless and notice if the connection rate changes. I am sure you will get some interesting results. A good little tool you can use is an utility called inSSIDer just do a google search and install that, it will show you where there may be a conflicting channel issue, the non shared channels are 1.6.and 11. If you need to diagnose the dropping connection problem then that is a different issue to the connection one.

Speed dropped last week and hasn't recovered...

Hi,
So my internet speed dropped significantly last week and hasn't recovered. I'm wondering if I need a manual intervention to reset my profile but hopefully someone more ADSL-knowledgeable out there can assist. Note as a professional software engineer I'm reasonably tech savvy, and have taken all the usual steps:
* Router is now permanently plugged into the test socket, and has been for weeks, ruling out any internal wiring
* Have tried different routers. I found the HomeHub4 to be unstable (needing to be factory reset regularly) so am currently running with a TP-Link N600 which has been rock solid since powering on weeks ago.
* Firmware in router up to date, no viruses or spyware on any attached devices
* Speed checks all the same regardless of device (phone, tablet, laptop) or connection method (wired, wireless 2.4GHz, wireless 5GHz)
* Router resets made no difference
* Until I switched to BT a couple of months ago I had rock solid 8 to 10 megs download (definitely starting to wish I hadn't switched from Sky, although they had their own set of issues!). In fact until a week ago BT's speed had been pretty reliable, sometimes as low as 8 megs download, but sometimes up to 14 megs download.
Here are the stats from the router:
I have also run various speed tests (including BT and BT wholesale) which all confirm the same results. Ping times around 45ms, download speed 1.95 meg, upload speed 0.75 meg. It has been many years since I have experienced such a low internet download speed, and it is only just capable of streaming low resolution content, HD is definitely off the cards!
Looking at the router stats that SNR Margin looks high? I'm assuming my low sync rate is due to that? However I can't see anything that has changed physically in my setup in the last week. Could be exchange-side? Also note I did the "quiet line" test by calling 17070 (option 2). No obvious noise, just a very quiet digital hiss (I'll try to get an analogue phone and do the test again). However it sounded pretty clean to my ears.
Finally samknows tell me my exchange is 1038 metres away and I should expect at least 6.5 meg download.
So I'm a little bewildered why I'm now having to live with such poor download speed when for at least the last 4 or 5 years I've consistently had at least 6 meg download and usually somewhere between 8 and 10 meg (and as you can see from the router stats it was as high as 14 meg since the router was powered on).
If I could upgrade to Infinity or Virgin cable I would do so in a heartbeat but sadly neither are in my street. I was hoping that with a few days of stable connection my speed would increase but this hasn't happened. Any assistance or advice on the above would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tich
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Many thanks - I had no awareness of "banded" profiles before! Sadly I just did a last-ditch router reset this morning to see if it would assist (before posting here). Previously it had been up for 5+ days with no resets, and a very stable (but slow!) 2 meg download speed. My current connection time is 0 day(s) 01:11:18 so obviously far less than 3 to 5 days. Willing to wait another 3 to 5 days to see if it improves, but I did that last week to no avail (kicking myself for not screen grabbing my uptime prior to resetting this morning now!).
Is there anything else I should do other than wait another 3 to 5 days and post again confirming a continuation of the problem?
Cheers,
Tich

Drag and Drop of cell content between 2 tables

Hi Guys,
Iam into implementing drag and drop of cell contents between 2 different tables,say Table1 and Table2.(Iam not dragging and dropping rows or cells,Just copying the content of one cell to another).
Have extended the java tutorial class "TableTransferHandler" and "StringTransferHandler" under http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo to satisfy my needs.
The drag is enabled for Table1 and table2 as follows.
jTable1.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable1.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
jTable2.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable2.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
Dont be taken aback with the code I have put.It just to show what I have done..
My questions are put at the end of the post..
//String Transfer Handler class.
public abstract class StringTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
    protected abstract String exportString(JComponent c);
    protected abstract void importString(JComponent c, String str);
    protected abstract void cleanup(JComponent c, boolean remove);
    protected Transferable createTransferable(JComponent c) {
        return new StringSelection(exportString(c));
    public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
        return COPY_OR_MOVE;
    public boolean importData(JComponent c, Transferable t) {
        if (canImport(c, t.getTransferDataFlavors())) {
            try {
                String str = (String)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
                importString(c, str);
                return true;
            } catch (UnsupportedFlavorException ufe) {
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
        return false;
    protected void exportDone(JComponent c, Transferable data, int action) {
        cleanup(c, action == MOVE);
    public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
          JTable table = (JTable)c;
         int selColIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
        for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
            if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))&& (selColIndex !=0)) {
return true;
return false;
}//TableTransferHandler classpublic class TableTransferHandler extends StringTransferHandler {
private int[] rows = null;
private int addIndex = -1; //Location where items were added
private int addCount = 0; //Number of items added.
protected String exportString(JComponent c) {
JTable table = (JTable)c;
rows = table.getSelectedRows();
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
int selRowIndex = table.getSelectedRow();
int selColIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
String val = table.getValueAt(selRowIndex,selColIndex).toString();
buff.append(val);
return buff.toString();
protected void importString(JComponent c, String str) {
JTable target = (JTable)c;
DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)target.getModel();
//int index = target.getSelectedRow();
int row = target.getSelectedRow();
int column = target.getSelectedColumn();
target.setValueAt(str, row, column);
protected void cleanup(JComponent c, boolean remove) {
}Now I want to put in the following functionality into my program...
[1]prevent dragging and dropping text in to the same table.That means I dont want to drag a cell content from Table1 and drop to another cell in Table1. Want to drag and drop cell content only from Table1 to Table2.
[2]Change cursor on a un-defined Target. That means how to prevent a drag from a particular column in Table1.Also how to prevent a drop to a particular column in Table2. How to change the cursor to a "NO-DRAG" cursoror "NO-DROP" cursor.
Could it be done using Drag Source Listener and drop Target Listener?.
If yes,How can these listeners attached to the table and how to do it?
If No,How Could it be done?
[3]Want to change the background colour of the cell being dragged and also the background colour of the target cell where the drop is made...
[4]Is there any out of the box way to make an undo in the target cell(where drop was made) so that the old cell value is brought back.
How can I extend my code to take care of the above said things.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.....

Hi Guys,
Iam into implementing drag and drop of cell contents between 2 different tables,say Table1 and Table2.(Iam not dragging and dropping rows or cells,Just copying the content of one cell to another).
Have extended the java tutorial class "TableTransferHandler" and "StringTransferHandler" under http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo to satisfy my needs.
The drag is enabled for Table1 and table2 as follows.
jTable1.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable1.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
jTable2.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable2.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
Dont be taken aback with the code I have put.It just to show what I have done..
My questions are put at the end of the post..
//String Transfer Handler class.
public abstract class StringTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
    protected abstract String exportString(JComponent c);
    protected abstract void importString(JComponent c, String str);
    protected abstract void cleanup(JComponent c, boolean remove);
    protected Transferable createTransferable(JComponent c) {
        return new StringSelection(exportString(c));
    public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
        return COPY_OR_MOVE;
    public boolean importData(JComponent c, Transferable t) {
        if (canImport(c, t.getTransferDataFlavors())) {
            try {
                String str = (String)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
                importString(c, str);
                return true;
            } catch (UnsupportedFlavorException ufe) {
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
        return false;
    protected void exportDone(JComponent c, Transferable data, int action) {
        cleanup(c, action == MOVE);
    public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
          JTable table = (JTable)c;
         int selColIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
        for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
            if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))&& (selColIndex !=0)) {
return true;
return false;
}//TableTransferHandler classpublic class TableTransferHandler extends StringTransferHandler {
private int[] rows = null;
private int addIndex = -1; //Location where items were added
private int addCount = 0; //Number of items added.
protected String exportString(JComponent c) {
JTable table = (JTable)c;
rows = table.getSelectedRows();
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
int selRowIndex = table.getSelectedRow();
int selColIndex = table.getSelectedColumn();
String val = table.getValueAt(selRowIndex,selColIndex).toString();
buff.append(val);
return buff.toString();
protected void importString(JComponent c, String str) {
JTable target = (JTable)c;
DefaultTableModel model = (DefaultTableModel)target.getModel();
//int index = target.getSelectedRow();
int row = target.getSelectedRow();
int column = target.getSelectedColumn();
target.setValueAt(str, row, column);
protected void cleanup(JComponent c, boolean remove) {
}Now I want to put in the following functionality into my program...
[1]prevent dragging and dropping text in to the same table.That means I dont want to drag a cell content from Table1 and drop to another cell in Table1. Want to drag and drop cell content only from Table1 to Table2.
[2]Change cursor on a un-defined Target. That means how to prevent a drag from a particular column in Table1.Also how to prevent a drop to a particular column in Table2. How to change the cursor to a "NO-DRAG" cursoror "NO-DROP" cursor.
Could it be done using Drag Source Listener and drop Target Listener?.
If yes,How can these listeners attached to the table and how to do it?
If No,How Could it be done?
[3]Want to change the background colour of the cell being dragged and also the background colour of the target cell where the drop is made...
[4]Is there any out of the box way to make an undo in the target cell(where drop was made) so that the old cell value is brought back.
How can I extend my code to take care of the above said things.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.....

Links between drag and drop Objekts

Hello Pros,
I need to create a Desktop Pane ore something.
Here I want to place a bar with some buttons. By pressing on some of these it should create a new instance of a little Frame, Button, Label ore something where I can add a choice ore what ever.
But this isn�t the Problem jet.
What I need is a Pane like I tell but the created Object must be movable in the frame. And another Problem is to link them to another.
All should be like a MS Visio ore something. Objects that linking to the direct follower.
I hope someone can help me. What I need would be at first some code who show me how I can create some movable objects and how I link them. The lines must follow the objects.
I hope some off you can help me.
Thanks beforehand for your answers and sorry about my bad English ;-).

Can you drag and drop between computers on the same network? I am using leopard and can move files via the finder; when using screen sharing it would be good to drag and drop between screens.
Well, the obvious question is... did you try just dragging them between screens, and what happened? My guess is that it works - but if it doesn't, there's the nifty Get Clipboard Contents/Paste Clipboard contents commands that work between screens, and they work to copy and paste files cross-computer (which is actually much more convenient than drag-n-drop, since you don't have to worry about positioning two windows juuusst right...)

Drag and drop of multiple nodes between 2 trees

Hi,
I am trying to implement a drag and drop of multiple nodes between two different trees. A simple drag drop written on the lines of the demo code RSDEMO_DRAG_DROP_TREE_MULTI works perfectly fine. But my requirement is, when a child (leaf) node is dragged, if its parent is not present in the target tree, that too has to be dragged and dropped from left to right. When I try to manually add nodes to the target tree, it dumps because the node key table and drag drop object have fewer nodes than what I am trying to add. So it always dumps in the drag_drop_complete method.
I have also tried putting this code in the PBO of my screen, calling a subroutine to refresh my tree with all nodes required. But I realise that the PBO does not get called after a drag drop. Is there a way to achieve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Nithya

There's a Multi-Select TreeView sample on the WindowsClient.com, you can download it. Then you can drag multi nodes as follows:
Code Snippet
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            this.listBox1.AllowDrop = true;
            this.listBox1.DragOver += new DragEventHandler(listBox1_DragOver);
            this.listBox1.DragDrop += new DragEventHandler(listBox1_DragDrop);
            this.multiSelectTreeView1.ItemDrag += new
                 ItemDragEventHandler(multiSelectTreeView1_ItemDrag);
        void multiSelectTreeView1_ItemDrag(object sender, ItemDragEventArgs e)
            this.multiSelectTreeView1.DoDragDrop(this.multiSelectTreeView1.SelectedNodes,
                 DragDropEffects.Move);
        void listBox1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
            ArrayList selectNodes = e.Data.GetData(
                e.Data.GetFormats()[0]) as ArrayList;
            foreach (TreeNode node in selectNodes)
                this.listBox1.Items.Add(node.Text);
        void listBox1_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
             e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;

Why doesn't air drop work between osx and iOS?

Air drop doesn't work between my MacBook and my ipad.

It is not designed to work that way. AirDrop in iOS only works with other iOS devices, not Macs.
Note: AirDrop for iOS supports only iOS 7 devices. You cannot use AirDrop on iOS to share with OS X, and OS X users can't use AirDrop to share with iOS devices.

Shutter speed between 25 and 30 seconds

HI! I have a 5D Mark iii and have been shooting the Milky Way. I would like to be able to set the camera to shutter speeds between 25 and 30 seconds...like for example 27 seconds. Is there a setting to change? On my camera, it jumps from 25 to 30 seconds and nothing in between. Thanks!

An intervalometer will do it in bulb mode (you can dial in any amount of time you want).
But I suspect 3 seconds really wont make much of a difference.... that's just a 1/10th of an exposure stop. Usually you wont notice much of a difference with merely a 1/10th stop difference.

Connection speeds dropped and noisy line

Hi there,
We will be calling BT tomorrow about this as we have had some crackling noise on our phone line over the past few days and the noise margin has shot up and the speed dropped, broadband connections keeps dropping randomly and sometimes the speed drops to 2mb instead of the usual 18-19mb I get.
When I plug the phone directly into the socket I hear no noise on the line at all, when I plug the phone into the ADSL adapter I still hear no noise, when I plug the router into the ADSL adapter I start to hear noise when the router starts to connect up.
Dont have a replacement adapter tonight to test this theory so thought I would throw it out there for experienced users to comment on.
Thoughts?
As I said before my noise margin has went up quite a bit since this issue.

The noise margin will normally fluctuate but only very small amounts. You should find that noise margin is higher about lunchtime and as it get dark and more use the phoenline then noise margin starts to reduce and get lowest about 11/12pm and then the cycle starts again
