What is the maximum bandwidth of a BT Home Hub 3.0...

I've just had an interesting chat with a BT rep trying to sell me a new contract by promising a new YouView box.  (As if!)  During the conversation some interesting info came out.
I have unlimited Infinity2 installed November 2011.  I was supplied with a BT Home Hub 3.0B at that time.  Despite the promises of Infinity2 of "up to", (yeah I know ), 76Mb I have never achieved over 38Mb.  Strange as BT themselves say my line should be capable 56Mb based on their own tests of my postcode.
When I complained about this I was told that it was the Home Hub 3.0 which is the bottleneck as that has a maximum bandwidth of 40Mb.  Can any knowledgeable person confirm this?
If that is the case how could I be sold a 76Mb package when a 38Mb one is available and supplied with only 40Mb hardware to run it.  If this is true, in my estimation it is another example of marketing sharp practice in spades.
Any advice from the gurus?

Can you get your IP Profile by running the BT Performance test at www.speedtest.btwholesale.com, please? When the first test has finished, press the Further Diagnostics button then after you enter your phone number, your IP Profile should be displayed.
I'm interested to see what your Upstream profile is set to as it should be 20 if you're on Infinity2 but may be 10 if you're actually on Infinity1.

  • What is the default MTU setting for bt home hub 4?

    Hi everyone, I am setting up a non-bt modem/router, and I am being asked for a MTU value. Please can you tell me what the default mtu was for the bt home hub 4 (my old router)? Since I'm on the same line that's the value I need. If it helps, I think I'm on adsl 1 since my predicted line speed is about 1.5 Mbps. Thanks!

  • How to get the maximum bandwidth/MaxSpeed/Capacity of a Hyper-V virtual-switch?

    We are trying to monitor Hyper-V environment (Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012) using WMI, and have a very specific question Hyper-V virtual-switch.
    We have referred the below mentioned classes and their properties.
    1. Win32_NetworkAdapter (namespace:root\cimv2, property:Speed)
    2. Msvm_InternalEthernetPort (namespace:Root\virtualization\v2, property: Speed and Maxspeed)
    3. Msvm_EthernetSwitchBandwidthData (namespace:Root\virtualization\v2, property:Capacity and Reservation)
    All of the above classes and their properties returns 10000000000 (10 GBps) as MaxSpeed, which is NOT correct (as we know that our network connection is of 1 GBps)
    Here is our question: How to get the maximum bandwidth/MaxSpeed/Capacity of a Hyper-V virtual-switch?

    Until MSFT makes a change to increase the max speed of the virtual switch (and the resulting virtual ports) it will be 10 Gbps.
    It has been this way since the original introduction in 2008.
    What you are looking for is the most limiting segment in the path.  The virtual switch does not assume the properties of the most limiting segment.  Since the physical side could be a team, it could be a single NIC.
    Your management layer must interpret the most limiting segment.
    If you have not already been here:

  • What is the maximum size of the application to download to iPad via GSM. Is it 20 Mb? Is it possible to change this parameter?

    What is the maximum size of application to download to iPad via GSM. Is it 20 Mb? Does exist any possibility to change this parameter? In the towm where I live there is lack of wifi and the only possibiluty to download something from Apple Store is to use GSM/3G.

    It has partly to do with the carrier.  From what I've summized from reviews & feedback online is since Apple iPhone was the most advanced phone on the market when it was initially released the carriers were concerned about using up bandwidth with the apps & movie downloads so a limit was intially set for 10mb max on 3G connection.  Later apple raised the limit, against the carrier's advice, to 20mb max.
    The interesting part is the limitation doesn't exist on Android phone when they also have large apps & movies which are available for download & they use the same networks the iPhone uses!  So why are the iPhone users still limited to the amount they can download at once while the Android users are not.  They pay the same for thier data plans, if not less in some cases, that iPhone users do!

  • What is the maximum rows allowed in PLSQL array table type?

    Hi,
    I have a procedure and it contains the cursor which will fetch more than 500 records. And i have 5 output parameters to store the values coming from the cursor. I don't want to store that into custom table. I want to save it one table type array or something like that. Now i want to know what is the maximum storage of array table type? If i store more than 500 data, how will be the performance? Then is there any other way to achieve this? And that should not decrease the preformace.Let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks

    It really depends on what you are planning to do with the records once you return them from your stored procedure, and what client is on the receiving end of the results.
    One option would be to just return a ref cursor and let the client deal with retreiving the rows themselves, whether one by on or by a bulk collect. Another option would be to declare a table of records matching the result set and do a bulk collect into that table type in your procedure and return the table type to the caller. You could also declare a table type for each field in the resultset, bulk collect the records into thos types and return one for each field.
    Personally, I would likely go with returning a ref cursor. Both of the collect the resultset in your procedure and then return collections to the caller methods require memory on the database server to hold the entire resultset and memeory on the client to hold the entire resultset. While 500 records is probably not going to be too bad on memory, if the result set grows, you will run into memory issues at some point.

    The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity.  There is a 12.5 mm thick  HDD that will fit some MBPs.  But I have not seen any of larger capacity. 
    Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs?    If so, I am interested.
    Ciao.
    Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

    I want to upgrade my macbook pro 15-inch i7 2.3GHz memory and I want to know what is the maximum RAM it could take

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you have got an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so you can use 16 GB of RAM. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Remember that you cannot upgrade RAM in MacBooks Pro with Retina display
    In case you have got a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, you can only install 8 GB of RAM

  • What is the maximum filesize for a FTP Adapter?

    I have xml files with 1000's of records to read in. The file size can range anywhere from a few MB up to ~100MB. Most of them are about 50 MB.
    The FTP adapter works when I have a small file, but with larger ones it apparently times out. Once it runs into a big file like this, it won't process any more files until I restart the process. It doesn't show any faults or even any record of a running instance in the BPEL Console, so I have no idea specifically when it breaks. I uploaded a 10MB file to my ftp server and left it for a half hour, but nothing showed up, so I'm assuming it's broken rather than just taking a long time.
    What is the maximum file size for a FTP adapter? Can I change this somewhere? I looked in the ...\application-deployments\default\FtpAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml file but couldn't find any settings to change.

    Well no luck on my end and it doesn't look like anybody else has any ideas either. This thread Re: FTP Adapter, Java Embedding, ... says that if you can't get the functionality you need out of the default one, you should write your own FTP adapter in JCA. I looked at JCA and would like to write a simple polling adapter and then put all my FTP code in embedded java.
    Can somebody explain how I could achieve the basic FTP Adapter polling functionality in JCA? I'm having difficulty figuring out how to have an ongoing polling process without instantiating a BPEL process itself, like the existing FTP adapter does. I don't want to set off on writing my own adapter if it's going to be a much larger undertaking than I have time for.
    Also, is the source code open for the default FTP adapter? It would be great if I could just modify the few things I need to change rather than write one from scratch.

  • What is the maximum number of characters in an Oracle 10G Instance Name

    All,
    Can I know what is the maximum number of characters in an oracle 10g instance name under AIX? Is it 7 characters or 8 characters?
    regards
    Santhosh

    One should really make the difference between db_name and instance_name: if instance_name default value is db_name it can be different
    (even on a non RAC database).
    For example with Oracle 10.2.0.4 you can create a database named DB78 with instance_name=DB12345678:
    $ uname -a
    Linux lx01.localdomain 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Fri May 23 22:17:30 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    $ ps -fu oracle | grep smon
    oracle    6353     1  0 20:30 ?        00:00:01 ora_smon_DB12345678
    oracle    6412  5596  0 20:37 pts/1    00:00:00 grep smon

    they have to format it to make it mac "compatible", for a lack of better terms.  I don't know what they would do.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - What is the maximum HDD size?

    My aged Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20GB HDD. As these are now very difficult to get hold, does anyone know whether higher capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of HDD.
    (In spite of it's age I still use the Satellite Pro for certain jobs.)

    Hi!
    This is a pretty old notebook, Satellite Pro 4600 ;)
    As far as I know this notebook has a 28bit LBA limitation and that means you can only use HDDs up to 128GB or lets say HDD with a capacity of 120GB.
    By the way, here you can read more about this limitation: http://www.48bitlba.com/
    Normally you can every HDD up to 120GB but dont forget that the HDD must have a IDE connector.
    I have good experience with Western Digital and Seagate HDDs.
    Bye
