Too close to exchange for Infinity?

I live about 100 yards from my exchange (Almondsbury) and see from the BT website that, as I'm connected direct to the exchange, I can't get Infinity. Why is this and will I ever be able to get it? According to a BT engineer there's only one joint between me and the exchange.

  • Changing to another exchange for Infinity

    Hi, I have a question for you guys, I've already raised this with BT and am awaiting a response....
    I have one line coming into my house from the cabinet some distance away, the local exchange I am connected to has just been upgraded. Due to the distance from the Road side cabinet BT are only able to provide me with 'faster broadband'
    I'm getting 9Mbps (ish) down and 800Kbps (ish) up.
    Anyway, the pole that that feeds my phone line is outside my driveway... HOWEVER... my neighbours phone line (from a different exchange) is at the side of my garden. I have done a check on his postcode and number and am being told he can get Infinity up to 40Mbps down and 10Mbps up.
    I'd like to order another line, dedicated to Internet access, I'd like to know if I can request that the new line is added to my neighbours exchange thus giving me a better internet speed. (It's hard work with kids in the house all wanting to watch Netflix at the same time)
    Do you think this is a resonable request? and is it likely to be done?
    My only other option after that... NO, NOT MOVE HOUSE, is to pay my neighbour for him to get Infinity and me run a Cat5/6 cable over to my house. I'm not yet convinced he would like me doing the cable thing.
    Any thoughts would be great, thanks.

    That rules out that theory then, CAT cable it must be, all being the neighbour will agree to my request.
    Something interesting I have found on the Connecting Cheshire website's FAQ's.....
    From Spring 2013, anyone in an FTTC-enabled area can upgrade to FTTP.  FTTP allows any end-user to have a full fibre connection installed to their home or business premise. There will be a charge for the associated network build and an installation charge – all based on distance from our nearest network nodes. FTTP will allow access to speeds of up to 330Mbit/s downstream and 30Mbit/s upstream.
    Enquiries about FTTP should be directed to your ISP. Please note that orders for FTTP will be subject to a detailed local survey and additional connection charges.

  • Too late to exchange for Intel iMac?

    I've had my iMac G5 for roughly a month, and it's been great! However, I find myself wishing that I had gone ahead and bought the Intel iMac. Does anyone know if Apple will accept a return for no reason other than that? I bought directly from the Apple Store...
    iMac G5 iSight 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    "The question I would ask is...why did Apple go with Intel?"
    Apple chose Intel over AMD for several big reasons. First, they wanted to have the best power to watt ratio for their laptops and Intel has that over AMD. The Pentium Ms run cooler and give better battery life than the Turion 64s.
    Second, Apple wanted to be able to use Intel's motherboard R&D. AMD does not make MoBos, but Intel does and they are good ones.
    AMD also laggs behind Intel when looking at the projected roadmaps. Yes, we all know AMD beats the pants off Intel right now, but Intel's roadmap is clearer and better than AMDs. That could change of course, but Apple needed to switch to Intel quickly and efficiently, and having a solid plan ahead of them was the better way to go.
    Now that OS X and Apple apps are on schedule to go native x86, later iterations of the Mac line could indeed go AMD if they wanted to. Intel probably cut Apple a sweetheart deal to use there chips exclusively for a while, but Apple has shown the kind of adaptivity and flexibility that many PC manufacturers would love, but haven't been able to achieve.
    BTW, I think Apple has dropped the ball on Boot Camp. Virtualization is the way to go, not dual booting. I hope that Boot Camp is a precursor to something more like Parallel's http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/A>Workstation that allows you to run Windows apps side by side without rebooting.
    Running Windows natively might be a boon for gamers, but for professionals that rely on Windows only software, it would be a huge pain to reboot several times a day just to switch applications.

  • I purchased Too Close from iTunes for $1.29. It' listed in my music but won't play on ipod or computer.  It just skips to the next song.  The forum says just download it again.  But why do I have to pay twice?

    Does iTunes back up its products?  I purchased a song but it does not play on computer or iPod.  All other songs purchased from iTunes play fine.  Forum says download again, but where's my refund?  I never heard of a store that was SO HARD to deal with!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store
    Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here.  I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

  • Polegate Exchange is now ready for Infinity.

    Your site shows that Polegate is now ready for Infinity, but checking my phone line I cannot get it (nor can about 20 of my friends in Polegate as I have put their numbers in your checker).
    On your forum you give four reasons why this may be the case.
    Your phone line may be connected directly to the telephone exchange and not to a local street cabinet.
    Your line may be too far from the local street cabinet to have a stable BT Infinity service.
    Your local street cabinet may not be suitable for fibre optic cables.
    We haven't yet got the council's planning permission to do the necessary work at your local street cabinet
    1/My phone line is not connected directly to the exchange.
    2/Your new local street cabinet is directly outside my house - approximately 10meters away
    3/I have talked to your workmen over the last two months as they installed and commissioned the new cabinet andthey have confirmed that it is for Infinity.
    4/Planning permission was granted.
    Are there any other reasons why I cannot get Infinity?
    Is there an actual contact number / email address where I can get specific answers about my line?

    Hi thanks again for your reply.
    Unfortunately I am technophobic and do not understand what p1 or fttc are.
    I did manage to follow the link you kindly inserted and the response is as below. I assume from this that I cannot get Infinity.
    Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a fixed line speed up to 2Mbps.
    Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL Max broadband line speed of 8Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 7Mbps and 8Mbps.
    Our test also indicates that your line currently supports an estimated ADSL2+ broadband line speed of 10.5Mbps; typically the line speed would range between 8Mbps and 12.5Mbps. Our test also indicates that your line could support an estimated ADSL 2+ Annex-M broadband upstream line speed of 1Mbps and downstream line speed of 10.5Mbps; typically the downstream speed would range between 8Mbps and 12.5Mbps.

  • Headphone jack too close for some cables

    The headphone jack is Way too close for many 3.5 jacks. We get radio shack cables at work and they are too fat to be plugged in while charging.
    A solution for this is to take a razor blade and carefully shave off the plastic until it will fit. Only need to do it to one side, but it works without effecting the quality of the cable.
    It's unfortunate, but it's a solution. If it's a higher quality metal connector then it simply won't fit unless you're handy with a file. lol

    FYI, I bought the Griffin AutoPilot in order to hook our 4g nano to our car stereo and I didn't need the included audio cable. However I put it to use with our speakers in our bedroom which are simple ones that don't directly support the iPod. With the cable that came with the speakers we had this problem - couldn't plug in a dock cable and the audio cable at the same time. The audio cable that came with the AutoPilot has a much slimmer connector and it does the trick.

  • Exchange upgraded for Infinity, but online checker...

    Hi all, 
    not sure how simple this question is, but I'll ask it anyway as the online live chat with BT doesn't garner any useful info - they probably don't have it readily available. 
    I live in Fair Oak, and the exchange here, as well as Eastleigh, have been enabled for Infinity. Eastleigh is 2 miles down the road. My parents live in Eastleigh and they are able to get Infinity, but I'm not. The online checker states that it isn't rolled our here yet, but I know that Fair Oak exchange has been upgraded (again, another BT online checker states it has been completed already - as has Eastleigh)
    My question is this; how long after an exchange is upgraded are all numbers migrated to use the Infinity service? 
    Thanks

    Hi BET,
    If you fill out our contact webform (you'll find the link in my profile) and provide your full address and postcode I'll see what I can find out for you and get back in touch.

  • Removal of Exchange from Infinity rollout plans?

    Hello,
    I had a look at your area map for the current schedules of enabling areas for Infinity earlier this year, and noticed my area (Rock, Midlands) on the list for December 2012, however it is no longer on the list. I'm 99% sure I saw it as the same day I did another enquiry for Grays Thurrock, Essex and it was scheduled for the same date (The Grays date has since been moved forward to June 30th.
    What happened? Exchanges 4 miles down the road have Infinity already rolled out.

    It can happen. Sometimes councils prove too difficult in granting Openreach permission to put new street furniture in the area

  • Text field: First character too close to the margin

    Hi there,
    I created a form with entry fields. When the user fills in the fields, the first charcater is always too close to the left margin - so that for example it is difficult to distinguish a "3" from an "8" (see attachment).
    How can I change that?
    Thanks a lot
    HeikeK

    That's it, thanks a lot! I'd never found that on my own. I thought it was some property of the field, never thought of the paragraph format.
    Thanks again.

  • Text too close to page number in TOC

    Most of the time I can take care of unattractive line breaks in the TOC by putting in non-breaking spaces in a paragraph.
    However, I sometimes have a situation where the text of a TOC entry is too close to the page number on the right. The text is so close to the page number that in some cases no leader dots show, or only one or two leader dots show.
    The entry and its page number fit on a single line, so putting in non-breaking spaces won't solve the problem. I could put in a soft return (Shift-Enter) in the TOC entry to force a line break, but it isn't efficient because I have to put in the soft return manually each time the TOC is updated.
    If anyone has a tip on how to handle this problem efficiently, I'd love to know about it.

    Van
    That is absolutely brilliant. It also seems to prevent multi-line TOC entries from encroaching on the page number area in general.
    For ages I thought the only way around this ugly problem would be to wait 200 years for Adobe to give us four different indent options (first line left, left, right, and last line right) instead of the three that we currently have. (Last line right doesn't exist.)
    I'll just add one more suggestion that might make your line breaks and page number positions in the TOC 100% automatic instead of merely 98%.
    (It doesn't sound like much of an improvement, but if you've ever had to manually adjust the TOCs for 50 manuals every time you regenerated them, then you'll know where I'm coming from.)
    If you have any TOC paragraph specifications that use more than one tab, for handling section or chapter numbers at the front of the paragraph for example, then you'll notice that if a TOC entry wraps to two or more lines then the page number will no longer be printed at its intended tab stop, but will use one of the earlier tab stops instead (because in the new line there are no longer any previous tab characters to fill the earlier tab stops).
    The cure for this is to go to the TOC specification flow on the Reference pages, and in the problematic paragraph format add an extra tab character in front of the <$pagenum> building block.Then...
    If the TOC entry only covers one line, the extra tab character will be ignored.
    If the TOC entry covers two or more lines, the extra tab character will be used to fill up the previous stop so the page number settles at its intended tab stop.
    If you have TOC specifications that rely on more than two tab positions, just add more tab characters in front of the <$pagenum> building block (and regenerate) until the page number (in multi-line entries) lands at the correct tab stop.
    Thank goodness FM uses absolute tabs and not relative ones.

  • Proximity sensor reacting too close causing droppe...

    I have two Nokia Lumia 800 phones and they react too close with proximity sensor causing screen to become active so when I am outdoors in brighter light calls are auto-dropped when my cheek touches the end call button on the screen. I have compared my two Nokias in Diagnostics and they react at exact same distance (around 3 cm) and I have also compared them side-by-side to another LG E900 Windows Phone in their diagnostics where it reacts 2 cm further away (around 5 cm). On the LG calls are never dropped by mistake. Would it be possible for you to change this distance in upcoming firmwares so calls are not dropped as easily?
    If I am indoors in darker light or at night it is not common to see it, but during summer time and during more light it is more common I have noticed.
    Workaround I have currently is to disable the screen auto on/off feature by pressing power button once after answering or calling. if you do this manually it is disabling proximity sensor screen on/off until you press the power button again.

    I find it completely ludicrous that Apple can interject on this thread and say it's received too many posts and has to be shut down and a "new" thread started. Really now? Seriously? Couldn't they also simply pop in and post 'hi guys, we hear you and are working on it' ...or something to that effect? That's my main complaint really is the deafening silence. What they're basically telling us is to complain all we want, if we don't like the phone then return it for a refund ...that is if you still have your original defective phone, for all you that already swapped phones, you're beat and are stuck with our mistake for the next 2 years when you'll be upgrade eligible again. ...WOW, thanks for the statement without technically releasing one. ...I think we're all left in the dark because Apple really doesn't know what is going on with the sensor, they can't and or won't release a statement without getting the facts straight. ...but we all know one fact is straight...the sensor is dysfunctional and that alone deserves an acknowledgement. How are we to have faith in Apple to fix the issue when we're left to believe they don't think there is one.
    ...btw update on "my fix" ...deleting all your photos and putting the phone in your arm pit and then under your pillow is only a temporary solution, for mine sensor is on the fritz again. ...shaking my head, if only this were
    funny.

  • In a Quiz the Correct Answer Buttons are too close to the answer letter. How to give more space?

    When creating a quiz and previewing, the Buttons to select the correct answer are too close to the letter for the answer. How do I add space between them. Suggestions?

    I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite.  So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes.  My bad.
    However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option.  This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected.  So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
    You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
    Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0.  Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
    If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
    This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

  • Dual Cinema displays, connectors too close

    Oh so I have a dual display card and 2 20in cinema displays. The connectors on the video card are too close together to accommodate the fat plugs on the 2 cinema displays. I had to other branded displays and the connectors fit nicely. Is there an extension to fit on these to bring them away from the computer without having to swap out the card?

    Your Mac Pro should have come with a short DVI(M) to DVI(F) extension cable with small connectors. Use it for one of the displays.

  • DVI ports too close together

    HI, I tried to connect a second display to my Mac Pro (early 2008) last night and it seems that the DVI ports are too close together and I am unable to fit a second DVI cable in the open port. It's very odd, the 2 ports are shifted to the right and not centered.
    I have the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT upgrade but everything else is untouched. Any thoughts?
    I already see myself giving my machine to be "repaired or replaced" by Apple but I really would rather not of course. . .
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Tim - Thanks for the suggestion, it's the answer to the problem. It's not who you know it's what you know.
    Thanks,

  • Remove distortion from mic too close to mouth?

    Are there any recommended settings for removing the fuzziness from a tape recording (talking narration), where the person is has the mic too close or is too loud for it or both? The voice is pretty clear but the high pass filters aren't quite removing the fuzz from the maxing out of the levels.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    That's one of the hardest noises to eliminate, you'll have to try setting a noise print by isolating the noise alone in a segment and then reducing noise. The caveat is if the actual vocal pattern tails into distortion and it's not separate anything you do will generally just leave it sounding worse. But try reducing noise.
