  • Not entirely happy with infinity 2

    I was previously with sky, and upgraded to their fibre unlimited when it became available. Ended up getting 30Mbps out of possible 40Mbps. I had been told at time of upgrade, that at a later stage if I wanted to upgrade to pro I would be able to. Called to do just that, only to be told that an upgrade to pro would only push up to 33.1Mbps.
    Checking bt adsl checker, fibre speed is quoted as 36.5 low and 65 high, both for impacted line. So got out of contract and moved to infinity 2, now only getting 30Mbps.
    Called on day 2 to be told would be escalated to service monitoring team, and they will call back on Friday. So 4 days into an 18 month contract before anyone can confirm what is causing slow speeds?
    I can handle being told that due to line length we can only expect maximum of 36.5Mbps. But to be told at sign up that would get between 56 & 76Mbps, in line with the bt wholesale adsl check figures, and then only get half the speeds I'm paying for feels worse than what happened with sky.
    Can any of the mods look into my issue, and see if they can spot anything obvious perhaps? Pretty annoyed, and finding the mybt account area quite useless, considering it shows phone line order is still in progress but has been live since late on 26/05/2014

    Very quickly just now, copied text and pasted. Will get pic up shortly:

  • Maybe I was to keen to be happy with Infinity....

    Well, title says it all really but after 5 years of **bleep** with Broadband, I got Infinity last week.
    7 Days so far and it has, until now been running as steady as a rock at 37.7 Mbps throughput and around 8.5 Mbps up, everyone a winner you would think.
    Today I get home and Speedtest now showing at 14Mbps and the connection profile has dropped.  According to the connection time on the HH, it would seem this happened around midnight last night.
    I have gone from :
    38716Kbps Profile
    to
    14262Kbps Profile
    The questions are as follows :
    1) Do I simply leave it and hope all goes back?
    2) Is there really a training period on VDSL?
    3) Why the **bleep** does the HH show 4.1GB of upload since reconnect and there has been no one here?
    Any advice, of course appreciated.
    Cheers

    Well, 10 days as good as up (all bar a couple of hours) so took a chance and power cycled all power to both (as if a power cut).
    After all, you would like to think that BT wouldn't reduce profiles as a result of power cuts, after all, no customer can predict when they will occur nor is it a fault with the line!!
    Anyway, I am pleased to report that I am back to my previous profile (I think) which is producing a 37.5Mbps throughput on Speedtest.net using Newbury Server.
    BT Speedtester doesn't like my telephone number at the moment, and has always worked fine (issue was still present before power cycle).
    Any known faults with the tester at the moment?
    On the positive side, at least my profile doesn't appear to have been locked down at 14262 so lets see............................

  • Happy with your Infinity service?

    OK I'm new to BT & Infinity and am quite happy so far.
    I noticed in another thread someone posted that there should be a thread for those that are happy with their service.
    Well this is for those who are.
    So for WIW this is a "feel good" thread.
    Please ONLY post here if you have no issues.

    I think I was responsible for the thread call!
    When the Infinity ads first started appearing on TV I laughed, thinking that we'd be the last to get it being so far from the exchange and previous experience showed that any upgrades to broadband speed didn't apply to us. I was very surprised when I checked to see if I was eligible for Infinity that indeed I was. I duly ordered it and fully expected, even up to the day of installation, that an engineer would break the news that it couldn't be installed. But fair play to BT, it was installed promptly with no fuss.
    So far I've had no issues with the service. Being on the Poplar exchange, which is well known for the slowest speeds in London, the switch to Infinity has been amazing. In the month or so I've had it I only had one brief slowdown at peak times but the difference between 20 and 37mb isn't noticeable when you've survived on .5mb. Both my wife and I can watch TV programmes at the same time when I couldn't even watch TV on one without constant buffering. I can download 1GB in under 10 mins, that would have taken the best part of a day before.
    BTs customer service does seem to be lacking but the staff here kind of make up for that in solving problems. I can empathise with those that have problems with the service or getting the runaround by engineers. I'm sure the vast majority of people have no problems but they wouldn't be as vociferous as those having a bad experience.

  • Getting 50-70kb/s download speeds with Infinity

    So as the subject suggests, getting really dreadful speeds doing anything on the internet using BT Infinity over the wifi. Tried talking to support been going backwards and forwards on the issue.
    (I live in a shared house less than 5 meters above where the hub is downstairs. sharing with 3 other people who occasionally use the wifi as well.)
    Being able to use an ethernet cable wouldn't be an option due to circumstances.
    Now waiting for 'Tech support Level 2' to review the case.
    Before the speeds dropped to this much of a low I was getting roughly 400-500kb/s downloads..
    Also, as i am not the landlord, and have no means of altering the settings in the hub options i'm guessing my options are rather limited.
    Any suggestions in the meantime? 

    If you do a factory reset this will allow you to enter the homehub management pages using the admin password which is found on the homehub label. You would not need to ask the landlord for the password, it would however clear any password that the landlord had put into it which he might not be happy with.
    Link to management pages
    http://bthomehub.home/
    The most likely problem, if a reset doesn't help is that there is wireless interference causing the slow down.
    Download a Wifi Analyser app for you smartphone if you have one or use the free version of inSSider from forum member Keith Beddoe's website here
    http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/software/insidder.zip
    It will show you the wireless channels and which one the Homehub is on. You want to find the channel with the least congestion, ie. least number of users. Once you have that you need to change the homehub onto that channel. The other option is to try each channel in tirn until you find the one that is giving you the best results. Channel 12 or 13 id often found to be the least congested with the least overlapping channels.
    See link how to change channel on homehub

  • I want to find out whats going on with Infinity, B...

    well basically as the title says, i was suppose to have it end of march then the end of july and now the end of september, my contract is due to end soon as ive had nothing but problems since i joined BT and Infinity would be the only reason i would stay, the green Infinity boxes have been in for about a month or 2 now but still nothing, my postcode is NP11 3BA any help would be great, Thanks

    Almost certainly because Openreach don't tell them.  It's not that there isn't a commitment to hit the dates, it's more that there are so many things that can delay them  -  and the sheer amount of cabinets to be done means that Openreach can always move on to another location where they can actually go ahead with the work.  It's all at the mercy of local councils, utility companies and so on - anything that needs roads or pavements to be dug up involves jumping through all sorts of hoops.
    It's been said here many times before, but the only real solution is not to publish the estimated dates - and doing that would lead to a whole heap of other issues, there aren't many potential customers who'd be happy with "You'll get it when you get it."

  • I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn't need it). I am totally happy with the

    I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
    I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
    I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
    After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
    “Welcome to Aperture 3.2
    Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
    Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
    Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
    Current Library Location:
    Jadzia (home)   -----Pictures------Aperture Library
                                                      QUIT             UPGRADE”
    I have heard horror stories  about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
    So here is my dilemma.  I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
    Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

    Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop.  Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
    You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file.  For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto. 
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • I am happy with the CC format- it works for me

    There are a million and one negative threads about the new CC stuff. But I wanted to start a thread with a different tone.
    I realize that the majority of those in the forum probably see the CC change as a negative one. And in complete honesty, I understand their reasons, and even AGREE with them. The lack of an exit strategy from the cloud is a problem, though Adobe does say they are working on a solution. The place I work has no plans on upgrading to CC, though it's only maybe 10 users that are affected.
    But on a personal level, the CC option is a huge blessing to me. Though I do work in an environment where software is provided for me(we're currently on CS 5.5), with a new baby on the way and daycare costs taking up half my salary, I am ramping up my freelance business again as sometime in the next year, I'll probably become a stay at home dad.
    I've never been able to afford the Adobe suites outright. My wife and I do have a certain amount of personal money set aside each month to spend, but it's very difficult to come up with enough to purchase the suites.
    So when I saw that I could get everything for $30 a month for the first year(I do have a CS3 or above product registered), I was very happy. As somebody trying to get my freelance business running full speed again, this is a perfect opportunity for me to get into the Adobe software outside of my place of employment. And if things go well, the $50 a month after that won't be a problem. If I'm not making enough to afford $50 a month, then I'm probably not running the best business and probably won't be needing the tools for long.
    So this arrangement works perfectly for me. I do web design AND video/motion graphics editing, so having everything at my disposal is ideal.
    So in the sea of negativity that exists here in the forums(and not for bad reasons), I just wanted to say that I'm happy with this. Adobe have provided a way for me, who doesn't have a ton of money flowing in, to get into the great tools I already know and love. And in my view, at least temporarily, if I'm finding success, the continued fee is more than justifiable. So I want to say thank you to Adobe for providing this opportunity.
    Now, if I can please ask that this thread doesn't turn into yet another one of the already extensive number of threads bashing CC, and hopefully others who are thankful for this plan can chime in. Maybe nobody will, but I'm sure there are others out there. I just don't want this to degenerate into the same thing you can read in every other topic. Yes, I know that when I want to get off "the cloud", there are things to consider. I'm aware, and I accept that. Let's leave it at that.
    Thanks!

    The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
    Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
    The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
    For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
    Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
    To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
    To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
    Enjoy your cloud
    Col
    Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

  • Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

    I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

    Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!
    You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.

    There ya go!

    I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
    Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
    But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
    When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
    I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
    can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

    Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • My iPhone 6 order was canceled without my permission and without reason or explanation. I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had

    I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had with the cell phone service. i ordered my new iPhone 6 on October 6th along with my husband. i was told by the sales associate at the vierzon store where i placed the order that it would ship a week before halloween. instead of a shipping confirmation, i received an email a week before halloween letting me know that my order had been placed on 10/24/14. i thought this was weird, but figured i could weight another week or two, no big deal. my husband got his phone in the mail yesterday. still no sign of mine. then this morning i got an email letting me know that my order was cancelled and if id like to place another order for a phone, then i can go back to the store and do so. why would i want to go through another month of this??? verzon lost my order. i never canceled it and i am beyond annoyed. i am looking to switch my entire house to another provider. this is ridiculous.

    i did not get any reasons or explanations. the email just stated that my order was canceled and that it won't be posted to my credit card (i have more than enough to cover the cost, so that is not the issue). also my husbands phone was paid for from the same card moments before me. my balance is always paid automatically and on time. so that couldn't be the reason either. that's what so frustrating is because they didn't explain what happened. this is what the email read exactly:
    "This email is to confirm that your order has been cancelled; you have not been billed for this merchandise.
    If you would like to place a new order, you may do so by visiting your local retail store or going online to www.verizonwireless.com.
    Business customers should refer back to their local Verizon Wireless Sales Representative if you have any questions or would like to place a new order.
    Thank you, and we look forward to your business in the future.
    Verizon Wireless"
    it almost feels like its saying that i canceled it and that this was to confirm that i did. but i didn't cancel anything.

  • How do I change the background colour on notes. I need a darker background due to a visual issue. Apple has now discriminated those with visual issues.  I am so not happy with many of the new changes because of this.

    I am so not happy with the new changes especially when it come to the ability to change background colours, fonts and font sizes/ colours... Does Apple really think that their only audience is the young cool crowd or people who do not have a visual impairment.  Think before you make changes to your software and programs.  You WILL lose more people to androids if you continue this way.
    At least give users the ability to make apps like notes their owned by allowing them to pick the style, theme, background and colour, font size and colour. 
    A very ****** off Apple user who is now looking at Androids.

    Hi Tricia,
    I'm sorry but I don't see an ideal way to do this. Is it the yellow label text, e.g:  "New" against the white background which is causing the difficulty?
    The only way I've found of getting the colors to change in Notes is via Settings>General>Accessibility>Invert Colors but then it looks like something has barfed all over your screen.
    I'd be very, very surprised if Apple do not fix this, firstly because I believe "Accessibility" is a legal matter and secondly because they will not want to cause difficulty for their customers.  We have to remember that this is a major, major overhaul of iOS, it has essentially been taken back to the drawing board and done from scratch again, it may take a little time, but I'm sure they will fix these issues.
    Regards,
    Steve

  • Can i still use a care call phone line with infini...

    hi i have placed my order for bt infinity i have been thinking i have a care call phone for my dad which connects to the phone line via an adapter, can i still use it with infinity?
    or will the phone socket take away the compatability?
    thanks
    mark

    If your care phone adapter is plugged into your BT socket,then if you get infinty installed I think that the only thing that the engineer will update is the master socket.
    He/she should fit a new faceplate to the socket for the infinty data line [it has 2 outlets],you will still have a normal phone outlet,and I think that your care phone adapter can be used as normal.
    But others might not agree.
    Keep an eye on this thread as pthers might post thier responces.

  • I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down.  How to solve?

    I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again.  Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go.  I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it.  Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others.  The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

    Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.
