Static on my line - issue with cable in my neighbor's yard

After a bad rainstorm in January I started to get extremely bad static on my line and it was unusable.  I contacted Verizon to schedule a repair.  A week and a half later the technician came out, did some work and appeared to fix the problem.  A day later it rained and the problem returned.  Another repair request.  Another week and a half.  This time, the repair person called me and said that there was some issue with water getting into the line.  He thought the problem was in my neighbor's yard, but he was having an issue getting into the yard.  I'm not sure why as she is home all day during the weekdays.  He also mentioned that he made some sort of repair with a circuit in the office.  Again, the problem "seemed" to be fixed but soon returned.
What else can I do to get this resolved?

Rain and older copper telephone service have always been an issue with one another, so it might be an especially hard problem to fix once and for all.   If you want to do "your due diligence" then double check with your neighbor as to when a good day and time would be where the technician could go in their yard.  Get their number for contact, and when you file another report make sure to give them both your numbers, and let them know the neighbor is giving access and right of way to Verizon to do the repair.   If it's FIOS then it would be unusual that the problem is outside (not impossible) but real unusual.  SO if FiOS is in your neck of the woods, you may want to just upgrade, it will likely fix your problem if it's really outside in the yards and the streets.  
Also - when the static comes back, MAKE SURE it's coming from the street.  It most likely is, but go ahead and make sure.  Take your phone to where your outside Verizon box is located, open it up and plug it in (standard telephone test jacks are inside the Verizon box, they sometimes call it a NID)  
If you get static even when plugged in at that box, then yes it's an outside problem that they need to fix. 
If it's clear when you plug in at that box, then they don't need outside access, the trouble is inside your house. 
Hope it helps.

  • Time Capsule connectivity issues with cable modem

    I have Comcast internet service (coming through a Linksys CM100 modem, no router) plugged directly to a 2TB dual-band TimeCapsule. In the past this has been working, and the TimeCapsule has been providing internet access to three Macs, as well as backing them up. I also have an AirPort Extreme base station (not the dual-band one but not the 2003-era UFO-shaped one either) that has been connected to the TimeCapsule over house ethernet to provide wireless through the rest of the house. Last night my connection kept dropping out. I could connect to one wifi network and it would not work, then I would connect to the other and it would work for a while before stopping. I have disconnected everything and then replugged only the cable modem and my TimeCapsule. When ethernet is plugged directly into my iMac from the modem, I get an internet connection without issue. When I plug it into the TimeCapsule, it reports an internet connectivity error. It says it gets no IP address, and no DHCP setting that I provide it with alleviates this message.
    I'd be gratful for any suggestions on how to fix this issue. I don't really want to wipe the TimeCapsule completely, as it contains our backups to last July.

    When ethernet is plugged directly into my iMac from the modem, I get an internet connection without issue. When I plug it into the TimeCapsule, it reports an internet connectivity error.
    Because cable modems associate and "remember" the device with which they have established a connection, they need a complete reset whenever you change the device that is immediately connected to them.
    Push the reset button, If present, on your modem
    Power off the modem
    Pull the battery if it is easily accessible
    Power off everything else on the network, order if not important
    Wait at least 15 minutes
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule
    Power up the modem and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
    Power up the Time Capsule the same way
    Power up each of your other devices about a minute apart
    Check for proper operation the network.

  • WRT54G connection issues with cable

    My router was working fine after few months back, 1 thing I suspect is that I upgraded to the latest firmware of v.2.
    The problem is the access to the out world stops working, I can login into the router wireless and access all the UI  but if I PING from inside the router to an external site it just doesn't work.
    The only way to fix this is by resetting to the default settings (in the administration tab) or hard reset (power button from the back), after this it works but I need to configure again the security, after a while may be a day or some times 4 days after it stops working again and I need to repeat the same steps.
    What I believe is that for some reason something gets renewed in the router and messes up with the routing table so nothing can go outside the router itself.
    I called Linksys and they didn't help is there somebody with the same issue ? How can I fix it?

  • Bandwith Issue on cable connection

    Having issues with cable connection using up my bandwidth. it is constantly hogging about 760 KB/S. Anyone know what it can be?
    As soon as i go over to wireless it drops. If i plug in my cable it goes back up to 760kb/S. and it is filling up my HD . Tried little-snitch and blocked as much as i could one by one to see if it made a difference. tried the mac's firewall blocking everything. It is stil downloading on 760KB/S

    Try taking a look at your open ports http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110623032425485, then match them this list http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629 it may give you a clue as to what is going on with your connection. 

  • New infinity line and major speed issues with almo...

    Hi,
    Just has infinity installed after moving from my previous FTTC provider.  With the previous provider i was getting 16 down / 1-2 up and it worked great.
    Had my my new inifnity line put in on thrsday and i am getting 17 down / 0.5 up!! 
    I work from home and connect to the office via vpn and remote desktop and its almost unusable.  Laggy, slow, unrepsonsive and is constantly dropping the connection with a failed to read from socket error and is making it very difficult to work form home effectively.
    I have a 4g EE modem also and if i switch to this it is like lightening compared.
    I also had absolutely no connection issues with my previous provider and as i posted above had a mich better uplink speed - which is where i think im getting most of my issues.
    When i signed up to BT this is what i was sent via email:
    We estimate your download speed will be 19.1Mb.
    We estimate your upload speed will be 3.9Mb.
    Im fine with the download but the uplink is shocking compared to the estimate - and as i had much better before i think something is amiss.
    Also when i signed up i was told that if i had any connection issues with the new line i had to notify BT within 7 days and it woudl eb investingated but it seems there are so many roadblocks to creating support tickets etc.. Its like it s been hard to report a fault on purpose.
    Where can i create a support ticket or similar to get this looked at?
    Thanks

    As you use the internet for work purposes did you have business broadband with your previous provider ?

    Hi, i am having an issue with a basic motion scroll effect.
    I already watched and read every tutorial out there regarding this topic and even tried the adobe chat support, but the guy on the other end of the line disconnected me…, probably he didn't understand what i wanted from him because english is not my native language, so a will try to be very, very clear about this one..
    please note, that i am new to muse, this is my first project ever.
    my idea is as following:
    when the customer comes to our companies site, he just sees our logo on a white Background. the logo consists of, say, four elements. when the customer scrolls down, the logo starts to disassamble: first the first part of the logo flies out the left side of the site, then the second part of the logo vanishes down, then the third part of the logo flies to the right, then the fourth part of the logo flies to the top and out of the customers view. given what i have seen, it is possible to do that….
    so…..
    now i have the four parts of my logo imported as png files into muse and assembled them in design view to build our companies logo. I select every one of the four parts and go into the scroll effects tab left beside the layers tab. first i enter the same values for every one of the four parts: initial motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right motion; key position ( t-handle) : 0px; final motion: 0x and 0x again for the left and right value.
    now i hit "preview".: the logo is "pinned" at the correct position, i can scroll but the logo stays where it is. so far so good….
    now i select all the four elements again and go to the scroll effecs tab. at "final motion", i click the down arrows and enter 1x. I hit Preview…
    when i am scrolling down the WHOLE logo goes down…. so far so good.
    NOW i want the first part of the logo to go down, THEN the second part to go left, THEN the third part to go up, THEN the fourth part to go right.
    so i select ONLY the first part, go to the scroll motion tab, at "final motion" i click the left arrows, then i enter 1x.( the up-down value, i set to 0 again).. i hit Preview…
    the first part of the logo goes left as soon as i start scrolling, the other three parts still go down at the same time…
    NOW i want the second part of the logo to start moving, when the first part has left the scene, not at the same time as the first part.
    SO I SELECT THE SECOND PART AND DRAG ITS T-HANDLE (KEY POSITION) DOWN TO, LETS SAY, 200PX. SO IT STARTS MOVING ONLY AFTER THE CUSTOMER HAS REACHED THAT POINT, RIGHT?
    BUT WHEN I PREVIEW THAT ****, THE LOGO IS NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE, THE SECOND PART IS FLOATING ANYWHERE ELSE BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE…..WTFF????
    short: when i move the t handle, the initial position of the object changes. thats what i said to the adobe employee, but he said, that thats the expected behavior….
    but if thats so, how can i have my four parts correctly together, so they form my logo, but with different t handles, so that they all start to move at different times??
    Pleeease help me, i am dying of frustration here…..:( that behavior cant be right, right?
    Thanks so much to everyone who actually reads this post and tries to help…….
    All the best,
    Niki Lapan

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Issue with report (S_ALR_87013611) that is actual/plan line items for Cost

    Hi Gurus,
    I am having issue with the report (S_ALR_87013611) that is actual/plan line items for Cost Center.
    When i execute the report for a cost element  510200 the amount is 23,380.13, but when i drill down on it by double click on that amount the value in obj curr is 15468.91. Hence there is the differnce. When i futher drill down by double click on the amont of 15468.91 and i go to display group currency and take the total it is 23380.13 and display in local / doc currency the amount is 15468.91. I guess due to this there is difference. The cost center & the cost elements are the same i have checket it.
    My concerns is that the group curr is USD and obj curr / local curr is USD. So is group curr and doc curr is USD then when i click on dislay curr and select group curr why the amounts are changing.
    Kindly adivce

    Try to look if there is any filtering criteria applied in the report to which you drill-down.
    The difference can be also caused by the "value type" - some reports show actual and statistical costs together in one column while the others strictly show (are defined to show) only e.g. actual costs (type 04) and not the statistical costs (type 11)

  • Issue with PO change output - Service line items

    Hi All,
    This is issue with PO change output. We have PO with line item 10, 20 and item 10 has 4 service line items. PO is approved and initial print out is taken.
    Some one goes and makes changes to 1st service line items of PO line item 10.
    A change output gets triggered. When this output is printed, it prints line item 10 details. This is standard functionality as this item is changed. But its printing all the service line items for this PO line item. Consider a case where there are 3000 service lines for a PO item. If I add 1 service item to this PO line item, the change form prints 3001 services for that line item. There were no changes done to first 3000 service line items.
    Currently PO change form takes care of changes at PO line item but it does not take care of changes at service line item level.
    Is there any setting that needs to be done for this so that it only considers the changes at Service line item level also.
    Regards,
    Shahu

    If you're using a standard form, send a message to SAP. Otherwise make a change in the form.

  • Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

    Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
    Hello all
    Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
    -- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
    -- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
    -- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
    I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
    The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
    However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
    And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
    About the freezing:
    My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
    Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
    With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
    So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
    Cheers,
    Rainer

    Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
    Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/rainer.rohde/NewAlbum62508115AM
    Needless to say, as I typed this message here, I had a nice line going across my Safari window..

  • Issue with PR conversion to PO using ME59 withqty of similar line items

    Hi All,
    I'm having an issue with PR conversion to PO using ME59
    I have a PR with the following line items with all same details except quantity
    ex 1
    Mat  Qty  Unit Plant   St Loc
    M1   1    EA   P1      S1
    M1   29   EA   P1      S1
    The PR brings in the Unit automatically
    EA is Base Unit Of Measure -Material Master
    BT is Order Unit           -Material Master
    Conversion
    30 EA = 1BT
    When i convert this PR to PO using ME59N then i see 2 lines items
    M1   1   BT
    M2   1   BT
    Its doubling the qty (2 BT = 60 EA)
    ex 2
    Mat  Qty  Unit Plant   St Loc
    M1   1    EA   P1      S1
    M1   2    EA   P1      S1
    M1   27   EA   P1      S1
    The PR brings in the Unit automatically
    EA is Base Unit Of Measure -Material Master
    BT is Order Unit           -Material Master
    Conversion
    30 EA = 1BT
    When i convert this PR to PO using ME59N then i see 2 lines items
    M1   1   BT
    M1   1   BT
    M1   1   BT
    Its 3 times no
    PR Qty = 30 EA
    PO qty = 3  BT = 90 EA
    I guess during conversion to PO
    It sees PR Line item 1 and looks for another line items with similar fields ( in our case it sees line 2 in ex 1 and 2 and 3 in ex 2)
    i adds the qty 1 and 29 in ex1 and converts the total 30 each to 1 BT and when it moves to 2 line it see item1 and again creates 1BT but the line item 2 was already considered and it should be ignored
    Similarly if you see ex2 then it creates 3 limes with 1 BT each
    Let me know how to resolve this issue
    Thanks

    As for std SAP ME59N - make sure there is not rounding value is activated in the Material master as well as info record
    If this is not the case than check any custom code is activated for ME59N
    becuase generally in many compnay when they use ME59n they don't want the same material from diff PR to create the diff line item in the PO so using the custom logic in the user exist they trick the code
    it might be the case for you where you have issue.

  • Line-In Issue with Macbook Pro

    Hello! I have an issue with my line-in port of my Macbook Pro. I had a headset connected for a while and used it for Skype etc. After a while the microphone did not work anymore. I noticed that the input-level did not show any input to the computer anymore. I changed the headset but Mac OS still does not receive any input... The internal microphone works fine. What can I do?

    Again, thanks for your help and effort sharing your weekend too solve the problem! Nonetheless I am still stuck. I set up another account and logged in to see if it works. But it did not. Then I cleanes /library/startupitems folder and checked the items in system preferences > accounts > login items to prevent them from loading at startup. But the line-in is still on strike and yes you are right, the built in microfone works fine and the line-out as well... I thought about making a backup of the whole system with Super Duper!, reinstalling MAC OS and trying to see if works then. If it does, it is a software issue, if it does not, the hardware might be broken... This would be the Windows way which I totally hate...

    Dear All,
    As i Mentioned in my earlier post, the same coding working fine in Quality server --> Printing multiple lines in script output.
    But now, I have the same reqt. in another window.
    So, I did the same coding.
    But, this time it's printing the last line of the internal table in all the lines.
    This is happening in Quality Server only.
    The only difference between the previous internal table and this int. table is:
    1. The first int. table content is printing in MAIN Window. ---> working fine
    2. The second int. table content is printing in VARIABLE window. ---> NOT WORKING.
    Can any one tell me what's the issue with this ?
