Why don't BT prolong the life is ADSLMax by liftin...

Hi guys,
Quick question (and an idea if you think of it that way ): Why don't BT Retail lift the 448Kbps cap on their ADSLMax DSLAMs and allow the upstream to increase for the max 832Kbps upload? (Yes I know 832Kbps is classed as ADSLMax Premium and can be purchased through some ISPs).
It would partially increase the life of their 20CN exchange equipment because of the larger upload which a lot of users need for sharing photos and (legal) files across the internet.
Usually upload speeds I recieve are constant 24/7 and there is probably no congestion at all in BT Retails' network as far as upload speed to the internet is concerned.
ADSL2+ which is available to residential users can provide up to 2.5Mbps Upload (on Annex M) so why not allow the max out of the Upstream speed on ADSLMax?
Any comments?

Yeah, I was talking about a higher upstream cap on ADSLMax. I was just curious to see what people thought on the subject
I guess I am biased but yes I don't really see why bt can not give us 832 upstream, I'm not bothered about the traffic priorities or better contention ratio's or any other bit that comes with the Business package, just the faster upload.
Our exchange will probably never get any investment (just too small), so for virtually no cost (I would guess?) they could make a few people happy
I wont hold my breath

  • At what percentage should I to charge my macbook pro and prolong the life of my battery?

    I want to prolong the life of my laptop battery.  I just got a new macbook pro and want to know the proper way to charge the battery. 

    The first days: leave it on the charger, until it says 100% for a few days.
    Then from time to time use it without the charger connected. Let it loose charge until about 50-60% full, then reconnect the charger. You have to keep the "electrons flowing". In the past they said to "calibrate" the battery, but that just calibrates the electronics, not the battery, and you don't do that anymore.

  • Prolonging the life of your optical drive?

    I recently had to have the Superdrive on my MacBook replaced, as it had only lasted a rather woeful 7 months since I bought the computer new.
    The guy at the authorised service centre gave me a tip: he said that to prolong the life of any optical drive (PC / Mac / laptop / desktop), you should leave a CD in it at all times. He seemed to think that this would protect the laser.
    Is this just an old wives' tale, or does anyone here think that it could be a good idea?
    I went through two optical drives on my previous Mac (a G3 Powerbook), so as I'm sure you can understand, I'm getting kind of paranoid that my new Superdrive will go wrong again, so any other tips would be most welcome!

    About the only benefit I could see in doing this is that you would keep the laser covered and perhaps prevent dust build up. Most notebooks don't have slot-loading drives so a Q-tip can easily clean them... and as the MacBook does have a slot-loading drive, I can't imagine any dusty getting in there. I've lost count of how many desktop/notebook optical drives I've had over the years. I don't recall ever having one fail and I've never kept them loaded with a disk. As mentioned, I would imagine the extra wear of the drive spinning up all the time would be more likely to cause a shorter life (plus the annoying delays associated with optical disks mounting, etc).

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

  • Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why don't some of the photos I took with my iPhone 4S appear on my iPad 3? Both are connected to WiFi and iCloud is activated on both devices.

    Why don't some of the photos I took with my iPhone 4S appear on my iPad 3? Both are connected to WiFi and iCloud is activated on both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

    My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

    Hello billwoodard11,
    Thanks for the question. If your computer is not compatible with HD 1080p content, you should receive a prompt stating so - but should still be able to download the content for use on other devices. For more information, check out this resource:

  • Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6?

    Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6? I only have three options under 'new', document, book or library. No template option as attached ...
    Please help.
    Many thanks,
    Jeannette

    This is still pretty annoying. Some of us actually make, and use our own templates. For example, I do tons of product mockups in my day to day and I have a series of basic templates laid out that I use for including the mock up image and the various specifications for each product. It's been super easy, in CS4, to choose file / new from template and just pop my template open. It was even nifty enough that Bridge would redirect to my templates folder for me.
    Sure, I know I can still save my templates to another folder and use them as I always have, but the question is why would they just remove this? For all of the bloat that Adobe constantly adds on to this suite of applications, year after year, why on earth would they just remove a simple, useful, entirely unobtrusive feature such as file / new from template?

  • Why don't I see the little plus sign (+)

    Why don't I see the little plus sign(+) to the right of an open tab? The one that allows you to open a new tab? I updated two other computers and there's no problem (one is using XP and the other is Windows 7). I can open a new tab by pressing "ctrl t" but I don't want to do it that way.
    Anyone else have this issue? Should I try reinstalling the update?

    Hello! Thanks for your question.
    See if this works for you. Sometimes the problem is caused by a corrupted file.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
