Why does it take for a month to get internet services?

I'd like to know why does it take for a month to get internet services? I ordered my service on Jan 18,2012 and I got the installation kit on Jan 21,2012. But I can't  use the internet and I have to wait until Feb 9,2012 for my service ready date. I think it takes a long time. I need the internet to do my project, but I can't. I'm very disappointed right now. I think I can use the internet after I place my order. (2 or 3 days it's ok, but I have to wait for a month that's terrible) Why can't they just turn on the services? I'd like to know who can i talk with? 

Have you tried hooking the modem up, and does it get sync and does the Internet light come on? Even though you technicaly shouldn't do this, the line might already be up and running but they haven't told you yet. I don't know why it takes a month to hook up DSL. In my area, it takes two weeks typically from order to live, whether it's new service or a speed upgrade/downgrade (these are usually one week. They can be done on the spot, though!). No one has ever explained why it takes that long, but I presume it has someting to do with the billing cycle and perhaps line conditioning if they still do that (away from removing bridged taps and load coils), giving a technician time to pick up the service request and perform the task before someone goes, builds the profile for the line and then connects a few cables to an empty slot in a DSLAM and does some other background tasks to bring the connection online.

  • How long does it take for the phone to get full service after you insert the sim card???

    I got my Droid Incredible in the mail today, and inserted the sim card and somehow online I think I deactivated my old phone, and I've been waiting for my new phone to receive full service for maybe over an hour now. I cannot call customer service or anything because both my old and new phone cannot make any calls because neither of them are activated. Please help!

    I had a similar issue activating by HTC DNA.  The activation instructions Verizon sends are horrible since they explicitly mention that you do not need to call in to activate your phone.  I left my SIM activation running overnight and it just didn't work.  I finally called Verizon from my work phone the next day and the agent informed me that you do need to call to activate your SIM card.  You will need to have your SIM card ready when you call (to provide the long string of numbers on the back of the card).  Hope this helps!

  • Why does it take over 2 minutes to get a database connection from the DataSource?

    Hello,
    It is taking over 2 minutes for my application to get a connection from a registered DataSource in iAS 6.0 sp4 on Solaris. The proper results are returned it just takes 2 minutes to establish the connection. The DataSource is an Oracle 9i database. I have the 9i drivers in the classpath. I also have a registered datasource that is an Oracle 8 database and have no problems establishing a connection quickly to that database. As an aside I have setup this application on JBOSS and both datasource's return a connection very quickly. If anyone has any ideas about what might be going on please respond. This issue is holding up a production release.
    Here is the code:
    try {
    log.debug("getting a new initial context");
    ctx = new InitialContext();
    ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(bundle.getString("IW_DATASOURCE"));
    log.debug("after looking up datasource from initial context");
    } catch (NamingException e) {
    log.error(e);
    throw new FinstarException
    (bundle.getString("E-0001"));
    try {
    log.debug("about to get connection");
    conn = ds.getConnection();
    log.debug("after getting connection");
    Produces this in the logs:
    2002-05-29 08:55:12,859 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - about to get connection
    2002-05-29 08:57:24,963 DEBUG org.mitre.mii.project.finstar.FinancialSummary - after getting connection
    Here is the datasource registration file:
    <ias-resource>
    <resource>
    <jndi-name>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</jndi-name>
    <jdbc>
    <database-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxx.xxx.org:1521:acisdb</database-url>
    <datasource>jdbc/pdc/IWDataSource</datasource>
    <username>XXXXX</username>
    <password>XXXXX</password>
    <driver-type>OracleThinDriver</driver-type>
    </jdbc>
    </resource>
    </ias-resource>

    Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
    Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

  • How long does it take for bt infinity to get conne...

    Hello I am just wondering I saw them doing work adding fibre optic cables outside my house since before Christmas and about 2 or 3 weeks ago for a few days any one know how long it normally takes to get the fibre optic cables connected to the exchange? I am not connected to to the cabinet but they said they have a new way to connect houses to the cabinet Green box My exchange.
    http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WWPADS.

    Hi stephen1982,
    Just to confirm, are you on an exchange only line as the link you posted will not work for me.
    If so you cannot get Infinity yet.  BT are owrking on putting cabinets outside exchanges to enable E/O lines to get FTTC.
    However, I don't think many have been installed as yet.
    I'm sure one of the CL's will be along with a more detailed answer soon.
    Best regards,

  • Why does it take a long time to get help when you have a problem?

    Posted a problem 2 weeks ago why havent I been give a solution to this problem?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How long does it take for my iphone to get repaired/replaced and sent back to me?

    I just sent it away today.

    Depends on how far away it had to be send and how long it takes to repair the device.
    You can check repair status anytime > Repair Status
    Since you just shipped the iPhone today, there may not be any status updates for 24 to 48 hours.

  • Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

    why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

    Hi
    Seems very long time.
    When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
    • I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
    • 10Gb - might work but slows down
    • 5Gb - slow and instable
    • less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
    This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

    This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

  • Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..

    why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

    It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

  • Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

    Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
    I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

    8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time.  What should I do next besides wait?
