Speed Question

I had my infininity installed this morning. The engineers test showed download speed of 34. I have just been onto the BT speed test site and got the following speed results:
Download Speed 13464 kbps
Upload Speed 7864 kbps
IP Profile 14262 kbps
Now I know the speed will settle down and vary over the next few days but reading other threads, am I right in saying that my line will never go faster than the 14262 kbps of my IP profile?
On my line test before ordering I was told to expect 34 as the cabinet is literally across the road from my home. I was already getting 11000 kbps on my "normal" broadband. So I am rather miffed to find so little difference in speed gain!
Will my IP Profile speed increase over the next few days or do I need to start a fault report now?

Hi Dave,
Have you checked on the hub manager to ensure you have been connected all the time?
Just enter http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9098 into your browser, and enter your Admin password, the first time you will be asked to change it to your own.
Under Broadband, it gives you a connection time.
If it has been connected constantly since installation, I'd give it another day - check again, if profile still down try powering down the modem and router for about 5 mins and then restore.
If you haven't a constant connection then this could be the problem, and it will have to be investigated further - this could be down to the modem or the line to your property.
Just a long shot - if you've got any extension phones, are they still working? I had an extension which was left connected to the wrong side of the master switch, and this caused many disconnects.
Good Luck
Michael

People say its suposed to be around 6db so why is my speed so low?
It used to be 77mb last week. Does the speed reduce by how many customers are on the cabinet? We just got the FTTC installed so lots of people are buying it just now.

If you use this checker it will tell what cabinet you are on and what services it can receive. post back here editing out your phone number

Wireless speed question

Our laptop connects to the HH with its built in wireless , connection is solid and the speeds are good , BUT im getting a max of 42mb/s and wired i get 69-72.
I realise this is due to the limitations of the built in wireless. I realise 42 mb isnt a shabby speed but we do do a fair bit of downloading on the lappy so.......
If i get belkin 150mbps dongle (play have one on offer for a tenner) will i get the full fat 70 meg down i get with wired?
I realise that on paper this looks like a daft question as to me it looks like the answer is yes ha ha but im not sure about the limitations of wireless etc.

if you want (nearly) full speed, make sure the dongle is wireless N and MIMO compatible and rated up to 300mb speeds.it may be slightly more expensive, but worth it in the long term
free your computer, use opensource
i'm a linux user & very happy about it

New user - Guess what, I have speed questions!

So, Inifinity went in yesterday as planned. All good there.
Initially the engineer showed me that the line was rated at 37 meg and upload of around 10 meg, which is all good.
However, running tests on Speedtest.net over the wireless show that I'm getting around 2meg down and 8meg up. The up is of course good, but the 2meg down seems a bit, ropey! Continued tests throughout the day on wired and wireless showed this to be consistent.
One thing the engineer told me to do was: "Just before you go to bed, shut down the router and the modem and then repower them" I thought this made sense as he should know what he's talking about. So I did this thinking it would resolve my issues. However, having read through the forums last night, after I powered off the kit, it seems that could have been a mistake.
So testing this morning, on speedtest.net it shows at 12meg down and 7meg up over a wired connection and the same again over a wireless connection.
However, when I use BT Speedtest I get the following:
> Download speedachieved during the test was - 32657 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 12000-37132 Kbps .
Additional Information:

2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.

0 Kbps

Max Achievable Speed
>Upload speed achieved during the test was - 8140 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10000 Kbps
When you compare this to a real world test (Download the lastest version of Ubuntu for example) I get just 300k download speed.
So my questions are as follows!
- Why does BT speed test rate that much higher than anything else?
- What should I believe in terms of speed?
- Why are my actual downloads so much slower than they were with Be Internet which was a copper based service
- Has turning my modem off caused an issue?

That router is a cable router, it doesn't have a modem built in. The downloads are from HTTP and FTP, I'm testing using major sites like Microsoft, Apple, Ubuntu and various other sites where I've seen big speeds from before.
These are the tests I've done, all from a wired connection direct to the Home Hub
http://www.broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/ gives me results of 7.3 down and 7.0 up
http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/ gave 7.5 down and 8 up
http://www.thinkbroadband.com gave 1.5 down!! and 6.5 up
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ gave 6.5 down and 7.8 up
http://www.speedtest.net/ gave 5.9 down and 8.10 up
Meanwhile BT.speedtest gave the following:
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

So, to me there seems to be something odd. All the other tests are in the same sort of ball park, which would tally with the 500k downloads I'm seeing from the 'real world' tests I've been running.

Huge Library Speed Question

I switched my Dad to Mac and also to Aperture. After importing all his photos it ended up being nearly 180,000 photos.
Aperture does now take about a minute and a half to boot, but once up it runs **** smooth.
My question is whether there is a way to speed up the bootup. He already has enough RAM, but I was wondering if there are any settings that could help the bootup time.
P.s. Just in case you were wondering, all the photos are of the grandchildren. None of us take any photos because he takes plenty!

Fire up Activity Monitor next time you launch Aperture to get a better idea what the laggard is. It is probably disk I/O. Make sure you vacuum the Aperture database infrequently, but especially after some large migration. If it is disk I/O, you'll likely need to align Aperture with a higher performance storage setup to increase speed...or just put up with the wait until the RAM caches.
Still, with that much RAM I guess we're talking about launching Aperture only about once a month since I typically just sleep my Mac Pro and uptime is usually over a month between reboots.

Sorry, another CPU fan speed question.

Hi,
Just got a new 2011 iMac 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 21 inch. First mac and loving it so far! I can hear the fans just slightly at idle in a quiet room and checked on this forum to see what is the normal idle fan speed.
Most of the results come back with the CPU fan running at around 938 rpm. mine is constant at 1199 rpm. A few others have this speed too, but he majority are around the 938 rpm level (some much higher). My temps also seem lower than most at idle too (due to the higher fan speed i guess).
OP Drive 998
HD Drive 1099
CPU 1199
My question/s:
Why the difference between machine (shouldn't they be set the same in all machines with the same spec with software)?
And is the normal??
Thx

Also, would I notice it being quieter with it at 938 compared to 1199?

ICloud speed question

Hi, my question is about iCloud.
If anyone can help that would be great.
I'm concerned about my iCloud backups.
When I backup using iCloud it says things like the next size would be 82MB or around that (reasonably low which is good)
But when I click 'backup now' as a test to watch it backup its very very fast.
Now, I assumed that with my Internet speed is 10Mb that it would upload this backup at the speed my normal uploads are. So an 82MB backup would take roughly 1Mbps
So it should take around 10 mins to do the iCloud backup.
It doesnt, it takes about 30 seconds.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
Thanks in advance
Keato

I know its not possible. I am a tech student I know about all this. But this just baffles me.
When I go into Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>My iPhone (the top option)
It says Backup Size (88.2MB)
And for "Next Backup Size" is 89.9MB
So obviously iv changed something or downloaded something since my last backup (1.7MB)|
I click 'back up now' and it takes just about 30 seconds.

Just a speed question

Hi All
My Broadband provider says that I am on a 2meg link.
My question is, how can I check this as I am getting download speeds of upto 225kB/s this morning. Seems fast for 2meg. not complaining just wondering....
Washac

If you Google "bandwidth speed test" you'll find any number of sites for giving you an estimate. The ones I'v looked at are usually within 5 to 10% of each other, which is pretty consistient. I primarily use Bandwidth Place Speed Test.
ISP's bandwidth rate depends on how many other users are on your network node switch at a particular time. The ISP's "2 meg link" would be their nominal value; if most of your nearby users of the same ISP are asleep, out of town, or failed to pay their electric bills, you'll have the bandwidth of that node switch to yourself (until they wake up and the bandwidth rate drops again).
Also, at least in this area, cable and DSL providers are trying to one-up each other in offering higher bandwidth rates as a lure for new subscribers, pushing the effective bandwidth higher. They usually seem to to that in reverse: they'll improve their hardware to get higher rates first, then they announce the improvement (causes fewer complaints that way, I'm sure). In the past few years, the bandwidth rate I'll usually see at home on a cable modem has gone from around 800 kbps to 2.5 Mbps
p.s. Want more bandwidth? See if Cable Modem/DSL Tuning Guide helps.

MSI K8TNEO2-F version 1.0 HT SPeed question

AMD 3000+ S939
KINGSTON DDR 400 - 512 MB

I got a question regarding the bios setting, I found out on the AMD website that the HT SPEED for my ATHLON 64 3000+ was 2000, i got counfused with the data, my boards highest HT setting is 1000 only, i set it to 1000 HT SPEED, and 200 FSB, so igot 1800 speed, it works fine, no problems encountered yet.
Can my board support the HT SPEED 2000 if i will flash my bios to a newer version.
Can anyone help me please!
[email protected]

That is simply a misprint. A64 HT speedss are either 800 or 1000 depending on the chip. The MB has little to do with it.

Yes fan speed question again..but with a slight

I use my new 27" strictly as a monitor (target display mode) for my mac pro.
The fans all idle while sleeping..upon screen wake after some 15-20 mins the cpu fan slowly creeps up and does so reaching say 1750+ after 50-60 mins...it may get to 2000 or more. All this is with 0% cpu usage and note.. does so by creeping up.The other 2 fans escalate marginally.
I have done the SMC firmware and SMC reset. I suspect the LCD temp sensor controls the cpu fan ( and possibly the others) as the fan speed does hold or somewhat reduce if I put monitor into a dim state.If I put imac into sleep then wake right away it reverts to a much lesser speed..top left corner of case is virtually untouchable....normal ?
EDIT:It appears going into tdm may load the imac cpu but I can't determine because it can't be viewed when in tdm...the fan seems to diminish whem the imac is run in imac screen mode...more testing to be done

Our approach is to suggest the best approach that we know. This approach may or may not be appropriate, that is why you read the tutorial and make up your own mind. Of course all Swing components use KeyBindings. Many of them like the text components or JTable will bind 20 different keys. it's not that i didn't take your advice from the first time you gave it, i read the tutorial of both keyListener and keyBinding, and browsed through the documentation of them both, but still a few things were not clear to me as to the efficiency of a wider usage of keys that's all.
and btw I have the utmost respect to you guys and what you do, and i hope we can still get along, so thank you for your help, i'll menage from here.

Fan speed questions

I have a few questions about the fans and temperature inside my Mac Pro.
1) what is the temperature sensor labeled "northbridge"?
2) can using a smc control app to up my minimum fan speed and lower component temperatures be beneficial to my machine or I in some way?
When I am using an application like handbrake/mac the ripper to decrypt a DVD it sets all four cores crunching at 99-100%, performance is spectacular but I wonder about heat.
thanks

Intel designs their cpu to protect itself before heat would damage the chip. however the same can't be said for FBDIMMs though there the system would k/p or have parity errors I think.
video cards can die, just from dust preventing air from being drawn into the chamber area.
Disk drives could have a shorter life if they operate above 50º regularly.
but in all scenarios the fans should kick into high gear (1500-2500 rpm) if those sensors are working and exceed safe temperature.

New Infinity User/Speed Question

Hi All, I`m another newbie in here and also to the Infinity BB as well.
So Hello and Good Evening to you all. :-)
I had my Infinity installed on Monday Afternoon without a hitch I am pleased
to say and I have been lurking on the forums reading up over the last week
or so checking out the pitfalls and wrinkles I am likely to encounter.
I know this is an on going chestnut on here from all that I have read but when I
was given a over the phone (by a nice BT lady employee) speed test (I have had a new line installed
before getting Infinity) I was told I would get 37.5 meg down and over 8 meg upspeed of which I
was obviously happy and impressed.
When the young man did a speed test on Monday I got a creditable around about 32 meg so that was fine.
I have been testing since then on and off and a few times its got back to 30 and over but mainly in the 20s
and teens.
Tonight I did a test at about 20:06pm and got just 6.96 meg down what is that all about?
The Up speed had been mainly around 7-8 so I down have a problem with that at all but what about my dowload speed, the homehub is wired into my PC.
What do you suggest I do next as I dont really fancy waiting until the 10 days as it seems a bit convenient that date I am committed for 18 months!
Any help will be gratefully accepted.
Andrew.

"Is that 15 sync or through put ?"
To be honest, I don't know.
I have been hovering around these forums for a couple of months, since Infinity came to my area, not sure whether to change over or not. I was forced into a decision when informed that my ISP was closing down (UKOnline), and I could move to Sky with 6 month free broadband. As I detest the whole Sky/Rupert Murdock organisation ........ here I finally am, on Infinity
Sorry, strayed a bit from the topic there. During this 'hovering' period, I swear that I've seen a post stating that 15 Mbit figure, but I cannot remember where it is, so cannot confirm or quote it.
Perhaps, based on the Speedtester results output, which states :-
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 12000-38717 Kbps
That it maybe the sync speed rather than the throughput. Either way, they are BOTH low, if true .....
Cheers
Edit: @Monkey - I would regard sync speed as the speed negotiated between your router/modem and your ISP, and the throughput the actual speed OBTAINED when transferring files, taking into account the overheads of the protocols/methods used (losses)
Throughput always being less than the sync speed
When i was on ADSL2+ I would knock off around 15% for losses (overheads). So if I synced up at 12 MBits, I would expect to a get throughput of around 10.25 Mbits'ish, and this usually was the case. 12Mbits - 15% (1.8 MBits) = 10.2 Mbits. This 15% figure may not be relevant to Infinity, I would hope it would be less, but don't know.

IMac or MacBook Pro Speed questions.

I currently have the PB 1.67 Ghz. For those that have a New Intel MB-Pro or a iMac Core Duo could you please tell me if its a night and day difference in speed when using Motion? I'm Not talking rendering.. I'm talking interface speed.
My current computer is far from real time.
Thanks
Chris

Being heavy into Motion, I am reluctant to replace my
G5 with something just slightly faster in FCP/Shake
(and Shake Universal Binary isn't out yet), with a
non-expandable GPU. GPU is everything to Motion - I
want a hyperfast PCIe GFx card.
If I had to buy a new machine today, I'd buy a Quad
with a 7800, not a MBP.
Patrick, true but individuals may need mobility and the MBP provides this. Granted, I am not the Motion poweruser you are, but Motion runs fast on my MBP. In fact, it feels (yes, this is subjective) like it is faster on the MBP than on the G5 Dual it was previously running on.
It all depends on your budget, the amount of time you will be spending in Motion (compared to other apps and their importance to generating an income or additional dollars), and your mobility needs.

ATI 9200 PCI speed question

I have a G5 Power Mac 2Ghz Dual w/ X800 AGP card. I want to add a second PCI video card (9200 PCI) to power a 2nd and 3rd display. My question is, will this slower PCI card slow down the X800 when playing games, or running graphically intesive apps like Aperture? What can I expect to overall system performance?
Thanks!
Kurt

My Quicksilver had 3 video cards in it. That didn't seem to slow anything down in that old thing.
