Hi have come here as a last resort , i have been a bt internet/broadband user for over 10 years have had broadband for a long time , we often in our house have me playing games online on the pc , the kids have the xbox 360 and the mrs will have the ipad all hooked up at the same time with no problems ,
then friday the broadband dropped and we had a orange flashing light ,
it came back on about 5 mins later and ever since it is very very slow , i have tryed resteing and rebooting the router , it connects to the internet just fine but everything is running ar a snails pace , tryed calling them which is a nightmare trying to explaine to a call center guy , they told me to hang up for a line test and they would call me back and havnt bothered
i have done the line test online it it comes back as ok , we have noticed some nose on the phone line from today
can anyone please give me some advice?

i was led to belive that bt staff would help me if i posted here hence why i did so but even this is looking like a total waste of my time , (no dissrepect to you imjolly for your help)

Since up dating my Firefox I can not play any games on Facebook they all run very slow, can someone please help me with a solution.It mainly seems to be with games.
RE: "P.S. I found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain text?"
I take it you tried using the "right click" menu? That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key and while holding it down, press the "V" letter key.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + X = CUT
CTRL + V = PASTE

Very fustrating. Can someone please help?
I am unable to open Itunes or quicktime on my computer. When I click on it the little hour glass shows (Itunes does not show up in the task manager though when I am trying to open the program) and then I get an error message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience" I have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Okay so I would like to thank all the people who viewed my post but couldn't offer any help. I fixed the problem on my own. For those of you who have the same problem I did. Here is how I did it.
1) Go into Add/Remove programs and remove the apple programs. There should be two of them. Then remove Bonjour. Then remove quicktime. Then remove Itunes.
2) Go into Program files and delete the above mentioned files.
3) Go to the start menu and hit search and search for quicktime and itunes. Delete whatever files come up in the search window.
4) Download quicktime separately from itunes
5) Then download itunes.
And it works now. Or it should. Mine did. -
Very slow Broadband speed please help!
Hello to all, I have recently joined BT from Sky and I am due to have Bt infinity installed mid October so hopefully my issue will be resolved then, however since joining BT Broadband I have had appalling internet speeds averaging 0.3 mbps! I can’t even watch the BT help videos online!
My current BT broadband was completed on 11th September and I was told wait 3 days for the line to stabilise which I did with still speeds of 0.3 mbps. I re contacted BT after this time and was told to do all the usual checks which I did. To put you in the picture my router is connected to an extension socket in my lounge and my master socket is located on a window sill in my hall way.
I can’t connect my router to my master socket as I have no power there and it is impractical to do so due to the space on my windowsill.
I was then told that my IP profile or BRAS profile was low and would be looked into. This was and three days ago I was told that they had completed their work at the exchange and sthe peed should be improved. My line now has an IP profile of 0.42 which yes is an improvement but I know my line is capable of more from when I was with sky it was around 1mbps.
I was then told I would have to wait until after a 10 day period from when my line was activated and then call back if no
improvement - Today no change speeds are as follows:Download speedachieved during the test was - 0.36
Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.1 Mbps-0.5 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line
is - 0.42 Mbps

I am fed up of calling tier 2 support is ther a knowledgeable customer/BT Moderator out there who can kindly help me
Kind Regards
Daveobviously connecting to an extension socket is not ideal and as you cannot connect to test socket you cannot rule out problem with your internal wiring causing the poor speed
have you removed the bellwire from terminal 3 in all sockets?

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?
It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

Whenever I connect my 4th generation iPod thouch, all of the playlists on my iPod get deleted. This is very frustrating. Someone please help me? I searched the settings on iTunes and couldn't find anything.
Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I upgraded my iPad 2 (3G) to the new OS8 and I can no longer connect to 3G. All the settings on the iPad are correct. It just shows that it's searching for a signal. I'm in an area where my signal (pre OS8) was very good in strength. Please help!

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance
You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it. -
