What is happening to our Speeds

Hi all,
Just a thought, what is happening to our speeds, I have only used this forum since the weekend. However surprised to see so many people with very similar problems to myself, is it coincidence or is it down to what BT open reach engineer told me.
This is what seems to be happening, massive speed drops, flashing hubs (orange).  Poor service on broadband helpline. Engineers who cant solve it.
Although they did agree that the service I got was poor and stated they would brief cancellations to release me from contract at No Charge, I was only 1 month into a 18month contract .
Please any thoughts

There does seem to be a lot of it about.
My speed was about 4meg for years. An i-plate took it up to 4.5. A few months ago it fell through the floor, so I I tried replacing the internal wiring, made a little difference. Got the engineer out who ran new external cables and improved things a bit (about 2M). I find now that if I give the hub a rest overnight it will connect at about 5.5MB (which is in line with what it used to do) and will stay that way for hours until in the evening the connection speed will drop to between 1M and 2M. The profile is throttling throughput to about that anyway. It makes little difference whether the hub is connected to the end of an extension or connected to the master socket directly (it can't stay there as there's no power socket in the same room as the master socket, but for testing purposes I ran an extension), so I'm pretty sure it's not my internal wiring.
Not sure where to go from here, so any ideas gratefully received.
I see a number of posts have a noise figure. Where does that come from? I have a Home Hub V1, but don't see those sort of statistics if I have a rummage around in the Manager. Is it a HH2 thing? Is there any way I can find this out as I would like to do a comparison between morning and evening to see if something, somewhere is kicking off at 8PM?   Found it, didn't notice the "Details" subitem appearing.
The Reverend I.M. Jolly is right, however, in all the years it was working fine I didn't post here to say that it was doing just that.
For reference, just ran a speedtest: I can guarantee the connection rate will be down around it's ankles come 10PM.
Download speedachieved during the test was - 864 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 200-1000 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :5536 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 1000 Kbps
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]:
11.5 / 19.5
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:
27.0 / 47.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:
20.0 / 9.5
The fact that it syncs fast in the morning, then slows in the evening, suggests to me that you're possibly sufferring from some kind of interference. Your current connection (above) with that sync speed, should give an IP profile much higher than 1Mbps - it's that that's slowing things down. 
If your sync speed is continually up/down on a daily basis, Dynamic Line Management will slow things down to a speed that it thinks is stable, with an accompanying reduction in profile.
As you said, "what's kicking of at 8pm ?"

  • All of a sudden our fairly new Air's memory is almost full. The disk utility lists almost 50 GB as "Other". What has happened to our memory?

    All of a sudden our fairly new Air's memory is almost full. The disk utility lists almost 50 GB as "Other". What has happened to our memory? I am new to Apple products.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    When it comes to clearing space on a drive, you have to decide how much to clear.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Although you may be told by other contributors to this site that you should keep some fixed percentage (such as 10% or 15%) of the space on the boot drive available, that advice has no basis in fact as far as I can tell. The amount of available space you need depends on your usage pattern. I don't know how much you should have, and I don't make recommendations based on what I don't know. It should certainly be more than 9 GB.
    If your data collection is growing quickly, then, depending on the size of the startup volume, you may need more than 10% available space in order to avoid the risk of filling it up, which can lead to a boot failure. If your data is relatively static, you may need less than 10%. I've seen no evidence that there's a loss of performance when available space falls below any threshold higher than the one Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
    About local snapshots
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • What has happened to download speed for any video....tv, movies

    Since about 2 days ago, the download speed for purchased video has become ridiculous. A 30 minute tv show takes MORE than 30 minutes to download......it used to take about 3 minutes...or less. I rented TRON yesterday and it took over 3 hours to download......it used to take 10-15 minutes. This happens on both my 2 Macs and 1 Windows machines. My Internet connections report a solid 20MB down and 1.5 up.....on every machine and device I have. It is NOT a problem in my home system or machines. All other downloads are fine.
    Something is seriously wrong with Apple's iTunes websites. I am certain that there is nothing wrong locally......no machines have changed.....and they all experience this abysmally slow service.
    Netflix streams full HD fine on all machines, by the way. I wouldn't even begin to download an HD movie from iTunes until someone at Apple figures out why their service suddenly is not useable.

    My box has similar issues with Multiplex D (which Film 4 and 4 Music are on).  My TV is absolutely fine but my Vision box is less happy.  I have the channels listed but no picture.  I keep meaning to replace my aerial leads but haven't got round to it.  Strange thing though is that my aerial goes to my vision box which then goes to my TV so it makes no sense as I would expect the reception to be the same or worse on the TV as with the Vison box.

  • Who should open a new account? What will happen to older purchases?

    My wife has been using my Apple account for a few years. I also have an iCloud account and used iTunes Match. Now I have my own iPad, and need to "cut off" my family from access to my Apple email, iCloud documents, etc. Who should start a new account - me or my wife? What will happen to our purchases, and what devices will be able to play them?

    Hi claybrowne,
    iTunes purchases are linked to the Apple ID they are purchased under, so you should keep your account.
    There is the option for your wife and family to continue to use your Apple ID for purchases only but have their own Apple IDs for iCloud, but I'm not sure how to stop them from using your Apple ID for other things other than telling them "this is for purchases only, use your own account for everything else."
    See "Apple IDs and iCloud", the section "Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases".   They can have their own email and Apple ID for FaceTime, Messages, iCloud, etc.

  • HT2515 What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

    What happens if our video chat is not connecting with the other person?

    Hi,
    Not really enough info to help constructively.
    Which Version of iChat ?
    Is it iChat to iChat or iChat to Messages  (i.e Mac to Mac) or AIM (iChat) to PC AIM  (needs to be a compatible version)
    Is this AIM to AIM (Includes AIM valid Screen Names from certain Apple IDs) ?
    Is it Jabber to Jabber (this can only be done Mac to Mac in Messages and/or iChat) ?
    Do you get any failure  message ?
    In the Video Menu > Connection Doctor > Errors tab do you get any info ?
    NOTES
    As mentioned it is iChat to iChat or iChat to AIM on a PC if the PC has a compatible version (which is not the latest)  (where it lists iChat it also means Messages in Mountain Lion)
    It has to be either AIM to AIM IDs or Jabber to Jabber IDs
    It cannot be Jabber to some GoogleTalk Web Browser Login (or Facebook)
    It cannot be Jabber/Google Talk to the PC app called GoogleTalk
    Google released an PC only App that will use Jabber protocols for Video (Called Jingle)
    Their web Browser Plug-in also uses Jingle for Video and Audio chat but iChat and Messages use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect.  The two are not compatible.
    Facebook also run a  Jabber server and have apparently released their Own Plug-in  which can cause problems of it's own on a Mac.
    However you also cannot video to a Web Browser Login on Mac or PC
    If this is iChat 6 it does not Video on the Yahoo Accounts  (that is Text Only)
    This means it cannot Video to any version of Yahoo on Mac or PC or any Web Browser method.

    HI,
    It used to be that you could drag a Pic to the Background (Active Chat part) rather than the Text Entry field then the Pic would become the background and in some cases tiling.
    It could also be dragged to the Preferences > Messages section (like you can see the Font and colour choice you make).
    However as you have found out it seems to have been removed.

  • What is happening with my new line install?

    Hi,
    I don't normally post on anything like this, but feel I am being left no alternative, other than cancelling my order.
    I am a new customer to BT and on the 14th of May I placed a order for a broadband and phone package, which was to include a new line installation on the 5th June between 8am and 1pm.
    I also ordered a new phone system and dual wifi dongle which all turned up as expected.
    On the 5th June I took a day off work and waited until just after 2:30pm for the engineer not to turn up.
    I received no call, text or email telling me that the appointment had been cancelled, it took me to call BT and finally manage to get to speak to somebody human to find out that it had apparently been delayed.
    First I was speaking to somebody from the UK the next I was put through to order management in India, which started to infuriate me more as the line was really bad and I was calling from my mobile for then to have them hang up on me.
    I called back a further 3 times after being passed from pillar to post to eventually get put back in touch with a order management lady in India again.
    She told me that the problem was with openreach as they reckoned they had tried calling me on the 14th May (when I placed the order) to which I replied I had not received any phone call from them.
    They wanted to know if it was a first or second line installation, I replied 5 times with it is a separate line that needs to be installed and I still don't think she understood after that.
    I was then told I would get an update on the 12th June between 8am and 8pm as to when the line was going to get installed, to which I did and again was a bad line as the call came from India just to be told there is another delay which will be the 19th June.
    At this point I'm beginning to lose my patience, I had waited nearly a month for the line installation to happen to be told that there was another delay which would take another 7 days before somebody updated me again.
    After I put the phone down I received a text from BT sms saying they had tried to contact me but we're unable to do so but not to worry they will be back in contact on the 22nd June?
    Very strange seen as I had just spoken to somebody and was told the 19th June.
    I rang back through to BT and got put through to India yet again where the signal was poor and asked that somebody call me from the UK as nothing seems to be getting sorted.
    Within 10 mins I got a call back and was put through to BT in Dundee, I explained the whole situation over again and was told they would be looking into the problem and would get back to me later on the same day the 12th June.
    It is now the 17th June and I still have no answer as to when the line installation is taking place, so I can start using the equipment I have paid for.
    if I knew in the first place that this was going to be a problem I would have used a different provider other than BT, as a new customer I find their lack of communication and generally not seeming to give a **bleep** about customers poor, with my only choice then being if I don't get the answers I want on the 19th June I will cancel the order and send everything back for a full refund and would advise others not to use BT in the future.
    Sorry for the rant and this being my first post but I am beginning to lose my patience any help would be appreciated.

  • What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!

    What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
    My Airport Extreme is perfect all day but sometimes late at night my ping goes over 1000ms. Wired or Wifi is the same. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens either. Random times and random nights (sometimes several nights in a row, other times not for week or more). Resetting doesn't help, but If I go direct to the modem, pings are around 15-30ms... normal for me. It's been a problem for me for a while now, and I'm not sure if its the latest firmware update that did it. I first noticed it playing my Xbox 360 sometime last summer or fall. The ping times will suddenly (usually around midnight or 1am) be so high that I can't play any multiplayer games.  I go to speedtest.net and my ping is anywhere from 500ms to 1118ms is the highest I've seen. If I reset the router, it is fine for a couple minutes and then right back to to the high pings. As I said, the modem is fine when I go direct, so something is causing the Airport Extreme to have trouble. It's not the XB360, cause it also happens with my XB1 and only at night. I play during the day, as well, and have no troubles.
    I believe that there are certain programs that can cause this, like Vuze, but this only ever happens when everyone in the house is in bed, and both mine and my wife's laptops will be asleep.  I do have a Mac Mini connected to another TV in the house, but the only thing it should be doing at that hour is its hourly Time Machine backup to a USB drive plugged directly into it. I do have a network drive attached to the AEX, but I only use that for manual backups for our laptops, neither of which is being done when this occurs. My wife and I also each have an iPad (the 2 and an Air) and an iPhone 5.  Could they somehow be causing this? Maybe an automated iCloud backup occuring at night? Although, I use several devices on my network all day long without this kind of thing happening so I don't know why that would cause this kind of problem. Just to round out my collection, I have to older Airport Expresses as well to extend the network and are mostly used for the audio out.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
    System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 4
    Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 5
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 6
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • What will happen If I update my factory locked iphone 4 to iOS 7?

    okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
    Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked.  An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
    If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
    Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them.  No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

  • Firefox, all the sudden, will now load the site but will not let me go to a chat area in the website, what has happened?

    I have a site that i am on all the time and have never had a problem at all using it, but the other day all the sudden i could log into the site but when i go to use the chat room feature in the site i get kicked back out to the sign in area. I have used on other comp to make sure not site and have been able use w Internet Explorer... So i am at a loss as to what has happened all the sudden. Please help me...very frustrated w this... Jared

    Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading.  I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos.  All web surfing was extremely slow.  When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers.  After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com.  I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com.  I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air).  I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow.  At that point I decided to unplug the router.  I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware.  Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster.  But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com.  I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi.  This is where the problem still stands.  I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it.  I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

  • What has happened to 'Locate Images' in ID CS6?

    Does anyone know what has happened to 'Locate Images' in ID CS6?
    In CS5.5 when re-linking images which were missing InDesign used to highlight the image provided it was available in the folder, presumably to help out when you have folders of images. In InDesign CS6 this seems to have dissappeared and is somewhat annoying.
    Also when editing an image from the contextual menu in ID CS6, and saving from photoshop or Illustrator you save over the last linked file with that name. For example we have a server which our work is stored on, we do not work directly from the server but take off the project we will be working on and do this locally then copy it back to the server overwriting with the latest version. If I, or anyone else, chooses to edit an image from within the ID doc locally once copied over, saving the edit results in the edit application (PS or AI) saving over the version that is on the server and not the local version on the Mac. So when copying over all of your hard work you are infact replacing it with a new ID doc but all the previous images & vectors etc. This makes for some confusion and took a while to work out what exactly was happening. We didn't seem to have that issue in CS5.5. Obviously we are aware of the issue now and remain vigilant, for the most part! But I wondered if anyone else had noticed this issue and how they may have resolved it?
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Ryan

    This is two separate issues. The highlighting is a behavior change and not for the better inthe opinion of many, but nothing you can do about it at the moment.
    Links, on the other hand, have ALWAYS been absolute, as long as ID can find them in the path stored in the file. Even if you copy a links folder from the server to the local machine, ID is going to ignore it and use the links on the server as long as they are there and you have a connection.

  • What is happening with FCP 7 now?

    I've just been engaged to make a film in a remote isolated community.  They want me to set up a 'film studio' for the community at the same time.  Normally this would be a no-brainer for me.  I'd arrive with an Apple Tower, several monitors, some decent speakers, and FCP Studio installed.
    I'm wondering what is happening with FCP these days.  All I've heard is negative rumours about FCP X being an amateur app (iMovie upgraded) and FCP7 being discontinued.  I may not even be able to buy FCP Studio (with 7)?
    I have a distinct disaffection for iMovie ... the underlying logic has always eluded me.  I've been a faithful Final Cut user since the very first version, have cut scores of films with it.
    I'd love to hear the 'latest' news about how Apple is handling this, or not.
    I hate the idea of trying to set up a community studio with any of the alternatives.
    All ears,

    Hi Tom,
    By 'current interface' do you mean FCP X?  I haven't had time to try it yet.  I've never liked iMovie.  I love the simplicity and 'logic' of FCP - once one has worked out the most efficient pipeline.
    I find I can show someone how to edit in FCP in about 30 minutes.  It took my son about ten.  And then the learner is on his/her way with great ease.  (I think it's a matter of having myself figured out over the years a very efficient 1,2,3 ... eschewing the 10 other ways to do every operation; I suspect it's the 10 different ways to do each operation that most people find confusing).
    Fogo Island Newfoundland out in the North Atlantic is a particularly enlightened place, quite fascinating.  Very film savvy.  I'd want to set them up with something professional - they might easily turn out some decent filmmakers.  Meaning 'professionals'.
    If Apple was planning to upgrade FCP X to a professional app in the near future (I'm just quoting what I've heard rumoured) then I could see going that way.  I have to confess that I also don't want to have to spend a month getting up to speed on FCP X before heading out for Fogo.  And then looking incompetent when I discover I can't do something on it (that I take for granted in FCP 7).
    All the best Tom.,
    Ben
