Speed? Where is it ?

Dual 2.0 with 2 gigs of ram, and the program seems to lag along. Guess you need the "Quad" dongle to run this baby.
Definitely a 1.0 release. (Maybe more like a 0.7 release)
Have seen other issues such as corrupted thumbnails, the green pixel issue others have discussed, and some strange workflow issues that I will get into in another post.
G5, Dual 2, 2 gig ram Mac OS X (10.4)

Works great on my Dual 2 with 3GB ram (aperture seems to use around 1.5 - 1.8 gb) .. if you can, move it to different drive than where your swap space is located, if you see your machine swapping when using aperture.
Alternatively see the thread "Aperture only using single CPU" http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1257812&#1257812. I wrote how I made it work much faster on my box in the last post there... Might be worth a try, if you want to fiddle around.

Slow SFTP speeds - where would the bottle neck be?

I've been trying to figure this out for awhile.
Server is a dual G5 2.5GHz machine with 8GB of ram.
Internet is a 100Mbps fiber line (with about 25~30Mbps effective)
I only ever have about 2 - 3 users connecting at max.
My SFTP users are logging speeds of only 150kbps. I would have thought they should be able to attain higher speeds than this. I tested a large file transfer over iChat, and got amazing speeds (almost 2 Mbps - the other user is also on a 100Mbps line)... so if iChat is getting that high of transfers, why is SFTP getting so shot down? I know it won't be "as fast" due to encryption, but that seems like quite the drop in speed.... was hoping for about double that (300kbps)
Thanks

Have you actually timed this? or are you going by what SFTP displays during the transfer?
SFTP reports transfers in kiloBYTES per second, not kiloBITS.
Therefore, your 150KB/s is really more like 1500kbps, or 1.5 megabits per second. Still not as fast as iChat, but more inline with what you're seeing elsewhere.
The true test is to transfer the same file via both methods and see how long they actually take

Does anyone know of an excellerator that I can down load to speed up my entire internet connection. I have dial up from windstream,i live in middle of no-where,KY and dont have access to high-speed intewrnet here, PLEASE HELP.

My internet connection is very slow dial up thru windstream and they dont offer high speed where i live and neither does anyone except Hughes Net,but they are way to expensive. Not an option for me at this time. I used to have dial-up thru southeast telephone and they gave me an excellerator that sped up everything.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. No windstream doesnt offer that,i asked and they have no intention to do that in the near future. They plan on offering highspeed to everyone in the future,but as of now they dont offer it in my area and have no plans of replacing the phone lines in my area anytime soon either. so until they replace the lines in my area,its not available . I am glad you told me that i cant add it ...Doug

Internet Connection Speed SLOW!

My Set-up...
2012 MacPro 3.33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon running Mavericks 10.9.5
Airport Extreme Base Station - Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8E) - Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 a/b/g/n - Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.106.98.100.22)
Modem - NEW Arris DOCSIS 3 CM820
Suddenlink High-Spped Cable (up to 50Mbps advertised in my area)
MackBook Pro 17" 2011 Model running Yosemite 10.10.2
Here is my problem. Last week Suddenlink increased the minimum bandwidth in my area to 50Mbps from 15Mmbps. They said I would need to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3 Modem to be able to take advantage of that speed increase however, so they sold me a new modem (Arris CM820) which I hooked up today.
I ran a Speed-Test at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ both with my old Motorola Modem just before I disconnected it, then ran the test again after I upgraded the modem. I am connected to BOTH my PowerMac 2012 and my MacBook Pro 2011 via the SAME WiFi Network Base Station (Airport Extreme). My older MacBook Pro immediately showed a HUGH Speed Gain when running the speed-test, but the MacPro "download speed" actually went DOWN??? What could cause this?
Mac Pro:
Before: 17.48 Mbps Download | 1.59 Mbps Upload
After: 3.32 Mbps Download | 5.37 Mpbs Upload
MacBook Pro:

After: 49.36 Mbps Download | 5.58 Mbps Upload

As far as your configuration goes, I do not see anything strongly out of whack. You may want to set IPv6 to link-local only (both here and on your Macs) since it is not yet used for most Home Networks (but may be used by Bonjour Service Discovery). It seems unusual that your Airport Admin port (50.27.113.156) is set to a "real" Internet address, and not just a 10.0.xxx.yyy "strictly-local" Address, such as Manually 10.0.1.201 (just beyond the range you are using for your Macs). Do not set anything to 10.0.1.254 -- that is reserved for Broadcast your local network.
The way it is set now, I can ping that Admin address from across the Internet. It is showing about a 75 msec answer time at this writing, and no lost packets.
In the 2.4GHz band, there are at most three clear channels at higher speeds (where the channels were originally created for older 11Mbits/sec.) You are showing at least six other Routers in range. Using the 2.4GHz range means you are trying to shout over those other Networks. This will work for a while, but when they are active, you will slow way down.
Slowing down appears to be what is showing with your updated Option-WiFi screenshot. Your signal strength is still very good, but your Transmit rate had to be reduced from 130 to 104 due to inability to send without errors at highest speeds. You may still be getting errors, which would cause re-transmissions and slow your speed test results, but may not be so slow that the Transmit speed would downshift again (yet).
As an experiment, try running your Router at 5GHz n-mode only. Use it for a while that way. Maybe even run the speed Test. Then capture that Option-Wi-Fi data again and post it here. I would expect it to show a consistent higher speed (like 300), and not give you other problems. But if it cannot attain a higher speed, that may indicate a Hardware Problem.
I do not understand why your Mac does not move to the 5GHz band automatically.

How do I change the speed of a track (not simply change tempo, but in a way that affects pitch)?

I'd like to be able to (essentially) duplicate the function of this Audacity feature:
Change Speed - Audacity Wiki
In Audacity, when I use "Change Speed," it modifies the recording in a fashion similar to playing a tape slower or faster than its normal speed (where pitch is shifted alongside the speed). Audition seems to have some tools that modify both pitch and time at once - the closest I've found to what I want to accomplish is the "Stretch and Pitch" tool, with Stretch and Pitch Shift locked - but the end result is markedly worse (or at least notably different) than what I get from Audacity.
The goal with this is to be able to put together a lesson on the interrelationship between frequency, pitch, and time, and the problem I have is that there doesn't seem to be a simple, one-step solution in Audition to modify an audio clip in this most basic of manners. I'm concerned that I may simply be missing where this feature might be, since it seems baffling that this operation wouldn't actually be there. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Manipulating the sample rate was exactly it. Boy, I'm a dope. That's literally a frequency control.
Using the Stretch and Pitch effect simply gives a distorted sample - for example, if I had an audio recording of a VO that was sped up (Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-style) and wanted to convert it back to its original pitch and duration, using that tool would get me the right length but not a very clear pitch. The sample rate's exactly what I want to control here, though, since that is basically a two-step version of what I was looking for. Thanks for the pointer.

Slow speed, novice needs help

My sister's broadband line has suddenly changed from a speed able to view videos such as BBC's iPlayer to a speed where no video clip can be played. Using the BT speedcheck facility download speed is said to be 4998kbps , DSL connection rates are 2048kbps Downstream and 448kgps Upstream. IP profile is set at 1750kbps. She is being told by her ISP (Plusnet) that these speeds are too slow and caused by the line being a long distance from the exchange. However, her neighbours computers are working fine (using other ISPs ). PLusNet are saying it is BT's line at fault but I am told that even if we change to BT as the ISP the fault will still exist. Can anyone give me some advice about what is the best way to get the line up to a usable speed. We are using wirless with a router supplied by PlusNet (the settings have been checked by Plusnet). Our frustration is that the system worked ok up until a few weeks ago and as far as my sister is concerned she has not changed anything ! Being non-techies we are finding the situation a bit difficult !

I understand Brian....
But the point I'm trying to make here is that regardless of who the ISP is....the common denominator is the line.
Now if you go through the help topics and issues in the thread to alleviate the line from induced noise...
then the broadband performance will increase.
Whether it's from BT or Plusnet... it's line adaptive, and that means you get the best speed and throughput according to a lines' condition.. and the biggest killer of broadband is induced line noise.
That was why I recommended you read my post in the thread ....
Have another look ... and start to investigate, as others have, and succeeded.

Is my laptop the problem with slow usb3 speeds?

I'm sporting a dv6-7200ea system, as standard, and have bought a toshba stor.e Basics 2tb USB 3.0 portable hard drive.
Toshiba state that it is capable of 5gbit speeds whereas the maximum i can attain is 100mb (1gbit?).
I have asked toshiba directly and they say the problem lies within my laptop, not their hardware.
Is this true? If so, what causes it??

Unfortunately, Your notebook model does not have the extra space for a second SATA hard disk. I checked in the Maintenence & Service guide for your notebook series to see if if did. Models like the Envy17-3002ea, which I am currently using as a loaner, are optionally equiped with a pair or 750 GB hard disks.

PowerMac vs iMac - Speed

Hi,
I've been offered an 800 mhz PowerMac. I currently have an 800 mhz iMac.
Presuming they both have the same amount of RAM and the same version of OSX installed, is the PowerMac likely to be any quicker?
Thanks.
-Mark

Mark, welcome to  Discussions.
There are several 800MHz model G4s & iMacs. You can compare the specs here.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/index.html
One of the G4 800MHz models has a 133MHz Bus Speed, whereas one iMac 800MHz has a bus speed of 100MHz. Other speed specs are identical. So the PM may be slightly faster, but I doubt you will notice any difference.
 Cheers, Tom

What's the actual Airport Extreme-N speed?

Hey guys, I'm starting to think about getting one of those nice Airport Extreme (n) stations for all the nice features it has (printer and hdd usb port).
I'm also looking at other brands such as Netgear or Belkin. They seems to be very bold to state what are their max speeds whereas Apple (as far as I've seen) doesn't really say what's the max speed. Apple only says it runs as fast as 2.5x, but what is that? 135Mbps?
Does that make sense? One of the Netgear products I was looking at states it runs at up to 270 Mbps.
Anyway, I suppose I'll have to think about it, there's many things to consider yet such as the price (of course), the features others offer, and also the possibility of a new Aiport Express-N base station coming soon (just to benefit from the AirTunes feature). This last thing I don't know for sure since somehow I've got the feeling that the AppleTV seems to be the ultimate Airport Express.
Any input is welcomed and thanked for.

All of the above use multiple streams of data to get speeds of 300Mbps or higher. The approved 802.11n draft, in fact, spells out data rates as high as 600Mbps in some cases. 802.11n will also have backward compatibility with current Wi-Fi products. Metalink's Rude says, "That interoperability is a market requirement that's not questioned — it's a given." Chances are good (though not guaranteed) that such "Pre-N" products using the above chips will be software upgradeable to the final 802.11n standard when it's finalized.
These fiqures apply to all N Draft Wireless Routers. (ALL)

LAN upload speed is very slow on Satellite C650D-108

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my Toshiba C650D-108 Notebook.
First, my english is a little bad... sorry for this.
My Upload-Speed via Ethernet is very very slowly (20 kb/s) , but via WLAN i have 14MB per Second! The driver and windows are new and reinstalled. The Ethernet-Cable etc. are fine. The Download-Speed via Ethernet AND WLAN is perfect (16 MB per Second)
But why? Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
Greets

Hello
How do you check the upload speed where do you upload something? Have you tested different browsers and different webspaces where you can upload files?
Usually the upload speed is depending on your Internet connection and not type of connection (WLAN/LAN).
Anyway, maybe updating the LAN driver would help. Just check the Toshiba website and reinstall LAN driver.

By the way, I agree with sybrand: you need to tune
your redo log size.
Regards
Ignacio
http://oracledisect.blogspot.com
Ignacio,
The excessive waits on log file parallel write and the related client wait of log file sync may be due to insufficient CPU availability, and may not point at an actual redo log size problem or a problem with the disk speed where the redo is written to disk, especially if there are 3 Oracle instances on the server with a single CPU.
Paraphrased from "Optimizing Oracle Performance":
The log file sync wait event is one of the first events to show increased latencies due to the time a process spends waiting in a CPU wait queue while processing excessive logical IOs.
Kevin Closson wrote a couple blog entries that examined the potential problems of insufficient CPU capacity and its effects on log file parallel write when writing to solid state disks, and even when writing redo was explicitly disabled:
http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/07/21/manly-men-only-use-solid-state-disk-for-redo-logging-lgwr-io-is-simple-but-not-lgwr-processing/
"Once LGWR loses his CPU it may be quite some time until he gets it back. For instance, if LGWR is preempted in the middle of trying to perform a redo buffer flush, there may be several time slices of execution for other processes before LGWR gets back on CPU..." Fix the CPU problem, and the other significant waits may decrease.
JesusLuvR,
yingkuan's suggestion to look at the SQL statement that performs the 4,365,564 logical IOs, consumes 186.03 CPU seconds, and has an execution time of 225.06 seconds, is likely a very good starting point. You might also want to check the value of the SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS parameter to see if it needs to be adjusted.

Speeding up an early 2009 Mac Pro

This is not a question - it is an answer.
Starting configuration: Dual quad core 2.26GHz early 2009 Mac Pro (4,1) already expanded to 12 GB RAM; 175GB SSD, 1TB RAID 0 internal HD configuration, 2 1TB external d2 Quadra HDs (1 for cloned backup, the other for Time machine) connected via FW 800. A Superdrive, and an LG Blu-Ray burner, both internal.
My uses: Frequent business use of Microsoft Office and Acrobat Pro; occasional use of Adobe Photoshop Elements, frequent internet access via Safari and Mail; much use of iTunes and iPhoto, some Aperture, and occasional creation and burning of movies and slide shows to DVD and Blu-Ray with iDVD, Final Cut Express, Toast Titanium.
Problem: Extremely slow from power on to the first open program with a usable menu (usually 2-1/2 minutes). Extremely slow changing from one menu item to the next and very slow opening files. Glacial at performing those operations if a backup was ongoing.
Earlier efforts: Followed conventional wisdom for speed by adding 6 GB of RAM, bringing it to 12 GB (though my RAM usage rarely exceeded 3 GB). Added a small SSD containing only the OS and all applications; mapped the home folder to the internal 1 TB RAID 0 comprising 2 540GB 7200 rpm SATA 2 drives (but - having to access the internal RAID for all data files made the addition of the small SSD a futile exercise). The external drives are also 7200 rpm.
Here is what worked!! I replaced the 175GB SSD with a 1 TB Samsung EVO 840 SSD ($565) and re-mapped the home folder back to the SSD; added a Newer Tech MaxPower eSATA PCIe card ($87); connected the two external 1TB drives via eSATA rather than FW 800, which tripled their speed. My OS, applications and data files are around 600 GB, so the 1 TB SSD was large enough to handle everything, while the 175 GB drive wasn’t.
While the EVO 840 SSD and the eSATA card are SATA 3 rated (6Gb/s), the internal bus of the early Mac Pro is SATA 2 (3Gb/s), which is the maximum at which the system will operate. In addition, the internal and external hard drives drives themselves are also SATA 2 (the Superdrive and Blu-Ray burner are SATA 1, but slow nothing down when not being used; and SATA 1 is plenty fast for burners limited to 16X anyway).
The result: It now takes 60 to 61 seconds from power on until Safari opens with a useable menu (including the 5 seconds or so to select the user and log in), a speedup of 90 seconds. In more stark terms, from power on to the log-in screen appears under the old setup was 46 seconds, and with the new, 41 seconds (system and RAM checks take roughly the same amount of time regardless of the drive used); but once the user is selected and the access code is entered, the new setup takes 14 to 15 seconds vice 1 minute 45 seconds! Even better, moving from one menu item to the next in an open application is immediate. Files open quickly. And, there is NO detectable slowdown while any of the frequent backups are ongoing. Performance is now very fast, again.
My Mac Pro cost $3400 when new, and has of course been improved. A used 2012 Mac Pro 6 core with 3.33 GHz chipset would have run $2800 or more, and provided slightly higher GeekBench scores operating single-core, but slower multi-core speeds than I already have. A 3.33GHz 12 core machine refurbished by Apple would have run $5400, and provided 1/3 faster single core speeds, and the multi-core speeds would have been twice as fast, according to GeekBench. The new late 2013 4-core Mac Pro, while beautiful, would have run $4200 delivered (my upper limit), and would have required more investment to put the Superdrive and Blu-Ray burner into enclosures. Here is what amazed me: While its single-core speed would have been 78% faster, its multi-core GeekBench score was slower than my current machine! I guess those extra 4 cores make a difference.
The GeekBench scores heavily weigh processor-intensive functions, such as video compositing and editing, or working with large photo and graphic files. Those are not my primary uses, and spending money for significant performance gains in those areas made no sense for my use. But the $650 I spent for the 1TB SSD and eSATA PCIe card completely solved the slowdown I was experiencing. For my uses, that $650 was a much wiser investment than any of the other options. It gave me speed where I needed it, and not where it would have done little for me.

True but I catch all the Mail, Cache, /SyncServices and /Application Support - and for some reason the /Preferences folder is getting hit a lot.
The reason I use CCleaner is just to wipe clean all the brower type caches in one fell swoop. They get large and unwildly and harder to manage. Easy and faster to just download. Use to use a RAMDisk for the "web.cache" file or folders at one time to speed up system and surfing.
The entire ~/Library is 3GB for me
So even if it was 10GB it would still be fine and make sense to include the "home user account" ~/Library (you can of course include more)
Only saying to locate my 700GB of documents, media files and libraries "elsewhere" - pefect for a 2TB hdd. Or a pair of 10K WD VR 1TB drives though even they are limited if using SATA2 AND you have the system on same bus you start to hit the 700MB/sec that Mac Pro controller can handle.
So the ideal would have high access and to allow concurrent searches and IO in memory first, in cache memory buffers to drive controller and drives, and then use an SSD, before getting to the actual slower hdd. The choise of hdd also matters. Some 500GB drives are more like 85MB/sec at best vs 145MB for a single 2TB Seagate Constellation ($200) or WD Black. And no need to take up two drive bays.
Back to case in point, if you want to put the entire user account on its own SSD, fine but its cost for what performance is not what I would do. Even a small 128GB or spend another $70 for 250GB SSD instead, and leave all the user home account's media files on a slow 7.2K drive. Some 7.2k drives can do much much better on SATA3 / 6G. The 1TB 10K WD VR gets writes as well as reads in the 180-200MB/sec. which is about as good as it gets outside of SSD on a SATA2 bus and is only $200 (4-8X the storage of the SSDs I was talking about).

Infinity2 Speeds

Hi all.
On the 24th April I went from Infinity (36MB) to Infinity2 (36MB) these speeds were taken wired from the BT Beta speedtester, now MY BT shows my speed as upto 38MB and this has never changed and the IP profile when I use the old BT speedtest is set at 38MB.
Now I've had numerous calls to various parts of the world and numerous emails and during the first 10 days was told my speed would fluctuate but it never did. I eventually was passed to tier2 technical who told me the fault was at my exchange but gives us a few hours and we'll get back to you sadly that didn't happen, so when I called them surprisingly the fault was at my end so an engineer visited today and told me everything is perfect at my end. He did a speed check at the modem and registered 42MB a little short of the estimated 53MB.
Now I wouldn't say I'm complaining about the actual speed I'd just like to know why no matter where I check my profile (My BT or the speedtest) it still only says upto 38MB and no where near the estimated 53MB and why oh why did I have to sign up for another 18 months to receive no difference at all.
Now one thing in my favour is samknows and ofcom have emailed offering the chance to help them check broadband speeds, wonder if when I receive their little box that's checks and reports speeds back to them if BT will sort out my little issue.
Any advice greatly appreciated in helping me understand my problem.
Cheers

If an engineer has done a check, and your profile for download speeds is low but this may alter (increase) over time. Unfortunately a profile reset can't be done as Openreach will deem that DLM is doing it's job and keeping your line stable.
Since the increased speeds come with increased frequencies, this may be part of your problem for not receiving extra download/uploads. DLM will stabilise your line first and at a speed where it's comfortable.
The only other suggestion i have is that you may be under a "banded profile" which limits your speeds, this will lift over time once your connection settles.

Speed randomly drops.

Hey everyone,
Until last saturday my connection was probably the best I have ever had and I was constantly getting download speeds of 700+.
On saturday my speed dropped to the point where browsing becomes difficult and streaming video or gaming impossible. My ping will change greatly from around 70ms to 600ms+ for sustained periods of time. I contacted the phone help desk on Monday and they informed me it was probably an issue with the weather (really?), but i accepted that and come Tuesday my connection returned to normal and was fine all night. However, last night the speeds where again painfully slow with download speeds of around 45kbs, and speedtest.net showing around .4.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my speed test results via http://www.speedtest.net/
35.44Mbps Download & 18.63Mbps Upload with a ping of 27ms
Have already phoned BT about the issue the first time, when they told me to reset the modem, this was despite the service not having been active for 10 days & I was under the impression that you are supposed to leave it to acheive best speed. I have saw the connection wirelessly get about 63Mbps down & 18/19Mbps up for several days at a time.
The problem seems to be, its running at a speed where browsing is generally always fast enough. I am only catching that the connection speed is essentially half of what it should be when I run speed checks via several speed checking websites including BT's own.
I have read the problem of Christmas lights, & at least in my home for now, I can eliminate that as the cause. I don't have any Christmas decorations/lights up just now. Just wondering if there is anything that could explain why I am getting such low download speeds, but the upload remains on Infinity 2 levels, when previously I know the connection can run a lot lot faster.
Any help advice would of course be greatly appreciated.

Not quite the dizzy heights of 70Mbps I've seen before, a little improvement which I've also saw before upon a restart/reset. Just wondering what the issue is with the speed dropping. When I have BT Broadband with the Home Hub 3, I never had any issues with speed, it connected & was rock solid. Already regretting upgrading to BT Infinity 2 as when you don't seem to check the speed you are getting, it seems to drop. Only noticable when you actually run a speed check to see if you are actually getting what you are paying for.
Surely I shouldn't need to keep resetting/restarting my Home Hub 5? I know its bad for the connection & to be honest I think its an issue with BT's new installation of FTTC cabinets in my area. The engineer changed my telephone socket face plate over, so its a filtered socket at the main line. No other phones in the house have filters on them as they are no longer needed, so I'm just looking for answers as to why I'm seemingly not getting anywhere near the speed I am paying for (I know with the internet speeds can vary, but its been twice now in about a month I've caught this connection running at just over 30Mbps, when its happily ran before at nearer 70Mbps).
Hopefully the further tests/results can shed some light on this for someone more knowledgable.
Thanks again for the replies so far & of course for any further help/advice with regards this issue.

BT Infinity speeds not reaching the quoted through...

Hi, I'm after some collective advice (and maybe even some help) on my BT Inifinity connection.
Firstly the facts:
I live roughly 682m (in a straight line)/1.3km by road from the local exchange.
My BT INFINITY Cabinet is roughly 0.48km on foot (possibly twice the distance when taking the copper cable length into account).
On ADSL 8mb: IP Profile of 7mb with a throughput of 6.95mb maxed with Hub 2 sync'd at 8mb.
On ADSL 2+ 20mb: IP Profile of 17mb with a throughput of 16.5mb ish with Hub 2 sync'd at 19mb (BT Quoted me 13mb on the broadband checker)
(I Know ADSL is a whole different kettle of fish compared to Infinity, it's merely an example of how well my line copes with broadband)
On 20/09/11 I had BT Infinity installed. The Engineer didn't tell me what speeds to expect but I knew from the conservative BT Infinity checker i should get at least 32.7mb (DOWN). My upload is maxing out at just over 8mb (quoted at 6.6mb by BT). I showed the engineer a speed test i did then and there with him in the room - the results are as shown: (35.8mb Down and 8.14mb Up)

I was chuffed, even more so when it rose by the end of the day topping out at just over 36mb with the same upload speed. http://speedtest.net/result/1492351342.png
3 Days later my connection dropped and my throughput was showing as 32mb. I put this down to the DLM as i was still in the 10 day training period. But since then it hasnt changed and my IP Profile has been set at 33mb. On day 11 i power-cycled the modem and then the home hub but still no luck. 32mb is by no means nothing to be snuffed at but it seems speedtest.net is showing my speed wrong as i found out when running a test on BT Speed Test which showed me my Ip Profile of 33mb, but only acheiving a throughput of 30mb! So much for the "Your download speed should be: 32.7Mb".
So, i don't know if my initial higher speeds where my true speeds given that my line is very stable or if what i'm getting now is the best i can get and i got my hopes up for thinking i could still get much better than what BT quote me.

Update:
Short Version: There was a 10v surge on my line that was causing my connection to be unstable.

Long Version (Probably TL;DR so i apologise in advance):
Last friday I accidentally yanked the power lead out of the vDSL modem while trying to replace a dodgy Ethernet cable on my wife's PC - The Home Hub 3 is on top of her desk with the OR modem mounted on the wall above it.
As quick as i could i plugged the power back in, and it proved to be a godsend. My dsl light would flash, go dim and it would do it a few times before going solid green for about 10 seconds and then it would repeat. After a while I phoned Technical Support, who diligently read from their script and got me to check all the cables including the RJ11 from the modem to the phone socket - all while the dsl light was doing it's thing. It was irking me cause i had already gone to the trouble of diagnosing the cables and i knew it had to be one of two things; Either my line or the OR Modem. I perservered with the Inidan lady I was speaking to (She was being nice to i'll give her that) before she ran out of tricks and escalated my case to BT Wholesale and would contact me in 1-2 days to see if my connection was working.
Annoyed that she was about as much use as a silent movie to stevie wonder, i went back to trying to get my modem to connect which only got worse when the hub wouldn't recognise the modem being connected. The broadband light would come on as a steady orange after a failed connect attempt, but no PPPoE activation. I thought "great now my hub has gone up the tube".
Eventually after 7hrs i had enough, i unplugged both the hub and modem and took a five minute breather. I then started with the vDSL Modem, plugged in the RJ11 lead and plugged the power back in and low and behold, after a few tries the dsl connected. I gave it a minute just in case my modem was giving me false hopes. After seeing it had successfully connected i then plugged in the Hub and let it cycle through to the orange broadband light at which point i connected the infinity cable and got it all working again. I had reconnected at 30Mb/8Mb and thought the nightmare was over.
Next day (Saturday Morning), my modem had dropped to 22Mb/8Mb with an IP Profile of 24Mb and figured this was normal seeing as i spent 7hrs without any connection. I held my tongue and put up with it for the rest of the day.
Sunday Morning my modem had dropped again and reconnected at 20Mb/8Mb with an IP Profile of 22Mb... i was not happy and i still hadnt heard back from BT. Fortunately i got a call from BT Wholesale who then asked me what the problem was (an Indian guy this time - do we not have UK Call Centers anymore???) and so i told him, and through his thick accent i manage to discern that he had booked me an Engineer for the next day (yesterday).
Engineer turns up - A quiet Indian guy who asked me what was up and told him, and while he listened he acted like he just wanted to get done and go. So i left him to it. Credit where credit is due - he did a line test (both socket and test socket) and didn't find anything wrong and said he would go the cabinet and have a look see. It turns out there was a fault with my line but he was almost done for the day and passed it onto another engineer who was actually quite chatty, polite and a joy to talk to. He knew what was wrong and confirmed it with me, plugged a test device in to the phone socket and shot off to do his thing. 10 minutes lates he comes back and does the line speed test with his gadget (i have no idea what its called). While talking to him to he showed me what the gadet was doing and showed that my line is capable of 44Mb/15Mb - lolled. He told me i can get the full 40/10 but i didnt hold my breath. He told me what he was doing next and what would happen every step of the way. he rang me to tell me my IP Profile had been reset and it did right as i was talking to him - he was even curious as to what i would get. He told me it would take a while for my speed to increase and happy as pig in smelly stuff i thanked him whole heartedly and waited as i was still stuck at 22Mb but i had a ping of 21 on speedtest.net... i new my connection was vastly improved. Pingtest showed a ping of 18!.
Today (tueday) still working and as i found out the hub 3 has this problem of not updating the speed. I had to go into the settings and "disconnect" the home hub but NOT the modem and reconnect and low and behold fast internet again. 37.5Mb/8.2Mb with a download speed of a steady 4.4mb/sec topping out at 4.5Mb on occasion and spiking sometimes at 4.7Mb/Sec.

Speed? Where is it ?
