Speed just suddenly dropped for the first time

I have been with BT for about nearly a year from TalkTalk before that, I hated TalkTalk with it's slow speeds (only had max of 50kB/s) when I switched to BT, I had constant speeds of 160-180kB/s, now a few days ago, they have seemed to dropped to 70-80kB/s. I don't know what the problem is but it seems to be quite weird, also I had dropped connections when the broadband would stay active for about 5 to 10 minutes then it would drop and have problems connecting to broadband.
I left it for about two days while keep resetting it because the BT wizard kept telling me it's best to reset the BT hub router and I still have slow speeds from now on...
I did a couple speedtests on www.speedtest.net and one test from BT website. The Speedtest.net says 70kB/s and BT website says 170kB/s, I have no idea what to do next...
Exactly what am I suppose to do, I hate making phone calls since I'm deaf and it's a lot of hard work.
My contract with BT is 8meg line or whatever with unlimited data usage.

Search forum for quite line test dial the number use option 2 and listen for noise on the line an analogue phone should have no noise if the line is good a digit phone not recommended may have slight hiss but neither should have any clicks or crackles
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

  • I just used itunes for the first time in years with an old id number. It says my computer isnt authorized. The old computer i used is gone now. junked. There is no option to authorize this one. What do I do. Very frustrated

    Itunes is saying that my computer isn't authorized. Its the first time ive used my id since 2010 and the computer I had then is junked. Now I have a hp laptop and I can;t authorize this computer. I can't use anything I buy. What do I do?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • Where is my music and playlists? Opened iTunes to find my music and playlists gone, as if I just loaded iTunes for the first time.

    Running Windows 64 bit.  This has happened before.  It was running great for the last 8 months (including this morning), syncing no problem with a variety of Apple devices.  Opened it today and it is like I have a brand new iTunes loaded up with no music or playlists.
    Please assist getting my music back and playlists (took hours to rebuild playlists last time).  Why does this happpen?

  • I just setup sync for the first time. Now everytime I load firefox a tab called "Your First Sync" will open, or it will load during an internet session...???

    Just installed firefox sync on firefox 18.0...ran the first sync, and now whenever I load firefox, or in several minutes of continuing using firefox, a tab called "Your First Sync" appears...even after closing firefox or the tab. Wondering if I can get some support on this. Thanks

  • I just opened iWeb for the first time in several months and the fonts have changed and are garbled in the headers.  Is this a result of switching to Lion, and does this mean I have to go through all 70 pages on my site and manually change them back?

    The text on my pages are messed up.  The letters in my headers are on top of each other and the letters in the body of my pages have no separation between them.  Is this a result of switching to Lion?  (I haven't opened iWeb in several months, since before I installed Lion.)  Any ideas of how to fix this, or do I need to go text block by text block and page by page to put it back right?  Thanks.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Opened Firefox this morning and it was like I had just installed it for the first time

    What is going on with Firefox. Everything was fine last night. This morning I opened it to check the weather and what opened was a new Firefox asking me if I wanted to make it my default browser. All my bookmarks were there. All the add-ons were there but none of them worked and. I installed Personnas and it worked and then I closed it down. Now I went to open it and it won't open so I'm writing you in Google Chrome. I have loved Firefox but I think it's getting like Internet Explorer. Nothing but problems and doesn't want to work half the time. How very sad.

  • I 've just installed Firefox for the first time (v9.0.1) & can't save any bookmarks. I don't get an error message & it looks like my bookmark saved but when I go in to look at my bookmarks, there are none there.

    I'm also having trouble importing my favourites from IE. I've gone through the steps to Import Data for Another Browser and it looks like it has worked but when I go to view my bookmarks it is still empty.

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Bookmarks this.] You can look at the star in the location (address) bar. If it's colored, it usually means the page has been successfully bookmarked.
    For importing from Internet Explorer please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Importing%20favorites%20and%20other%20data%20from%20Internet%20Explorer this.] You can also try the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File HTML] method.

  • I need help, i just synced my iphone3gs for the first time and now most of my apps wont work

    I just used itunes for the first time to sync my iphone 3GS!!!  Now, half of my apps will not work! Any suggestions? I touch on the app and it flashes real fast then back to my home screen...  HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for at least 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back.
    If this does not work, restore the phone. Restoring is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Installed Firefox 3.6.8 for the first time and it keeps crashing

    I am running this on a Duo Core processor, Intel, Laptop, Windows 7 with 4-gigs of ram. I have never had a problem with other programs crashing like this before.
    Any ideas? I have never used Firefox and after 20 years have decided to try something new.
    Thanks for any help.

    You mean out of this whole community no one knows how to fix this ... I wanted to give Firefox a try, but honestly, I am starting to see why I have not switched from IE, it is stable and I get answers when I post to the Microsoft boards as well as the answer to everything I have ever had an issue with is out there ... what is worse is that I am not the only one with this problem and no one can still help because I am sure us five are not the only ones that have run into this.

  • Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

    Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen.  I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it.  HELP!  For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I.  Is anyone still up that can help me out?

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. ??

    My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6.  I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto.  However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup.  It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
    Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box?  If so, do:
