Would I get the same speeds as my neighbour?

My friend next door recently got Infinity option 1.
His IP Profile today is 27mbps which is a tremendous increase over his BT Total Broadband so he's happy. However , we couldn't find his sync speeds in the HH3B. It's not where it should be in Troubleshooting/Helpdesk.
I'm currently on Sky with a sync of 16meg , paying £12pm.
For me the only viable Infinity option is Option 2 - Unlimited.
Question 1 . Am I likely to get similar speeds to my friend or would being on the 76meg option improve things?
The nearest cabinet is 15yards away but he's connected to one that's near a 1/2mile away.
Question 2 . Can I check that I'm also connected to that one or the one I over the road?

There is no way to see your sync speeds on Infinity/FTTC. Sync is dealt with by the Openreach modem which has its firmware locked.
You're likely to get similar speeds to your neighbour but just like ADSL speeds can vary depending on the quality of your cable etc.
There's no way to know which cab you're on.

  • My friend has a pass word on their ipad. its an inverted excelimation point. how would i get the same one on my computer?

    so i told my friend that i would update their ipad to ios 5 on my computer. she put a password on it(inverted exlelmation point) i have coppied many from the computer but none work. is it possible to get the same one???
    PLeae help!

    I'm not sure what you're asking.
    Option 1 on a Mac keyboard (at least one with the same settings as mine) gives an upside down exclamation point.
    On an iPad, hitting the 123 and holding down the exclamation point gives you access to the upside down version.

  • HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error  "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

    How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
    A couple of other items:
    1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
    2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
    I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

    The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device.  Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
    Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click  File>Transfer Purchases

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8

    I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem.  My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended.  Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i.  The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update.  I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before.  I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed.  My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not.  If that means anything.

  • I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto.  I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  I do not know where the photos would be importing from.

    I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto.  I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library.  Please wait for import to complete."  I do not know where the photos would be importing from.  How do I get it to proceed?

    After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
    Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
    Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "Show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
    Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
    Then launch iPhoto again.
    If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.

  • Does Airport Express really communicate the same speed to both Mac and non-Mac devices?

    Okay, so to fully understand my situation, here's a briefing: Our old Netgear router was not pushing nearly the speeds we were paying for (we pay for 30 and were getting 10-15 max, usually much less). I recently got an iMac which means that all of my devices are now Apple made, so I decided to get an Airport Express to hopefully improve our wireless speeds. I set it up with the modem going in the WAN port and the old router attached to the LAN port so that it could still act as an ethernet hub for the few hard-wired devices knocking around. I set up both a network and a guest network, with our original one still active through the Netgear router.
    I get 45 Mbps from the new network on my iMac, but my roommate is only getting around 9. If he connects to the old one, he caps out at about 25. Is the wireless card in his PC just not capable of receiving more than that? He insists that since it's an Apple router it is not as compatable with non-Apple products. Interestingly, I get faster speeds on my iPhone from the guest network than I can from either the new or old main networks in our house.
    I know this is a really long question, but has anyone had this same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also: isn't the wireless speed of the old Netgear router still basically being pushed through the Airport Express, as it's the only thing connected directly to the modem? Are there any settings I can change to make everything run smoothly? If the PC, Android phones, etc can connect to the new network at the same speed as my Apple products, then we can eliminate the old network altogether if that will help.

    I think I answered my own question. I found this on the web:
    http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
    Seems to suggest that using this third party exe to format it instead of windows inbuilt one will allow for partitions greater than 32GB. So this looks the way to go. And the 2GB limit per file is just for FAT16 not FAT32 apparently, but even if it is I only have a few iso/video files bigger than 2 gig so will just use a splitter on them.
    Hope this is useful to someone else

  • Why am I getting the download speed only 1.6-1.8 MB between 7PM to 11PM in the past month?

    Why am I getting the download speed only 1.6-1.8 MB between 7PM to 11PM in the past month?  I have 3MB plan.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same situation?  I live in Claremont, CA 91711.

    If you have not solved it yet..
    It would help to know, at least the following info...
    #1 The brand and model of your modem.
    #2 The brand and model of your router.
    #3 What is the OS and version that is on your computer.

  • Taking over a line - Will I get the same problems?

    I moved into new premises last Friday. I knew the previous occupant and I had already ordered my new BT line with infinity prior to my chat with him about HIS connection.
    He told me he upgraded to Infinity 2 and was quoted 65D and 15U but had never got more than 40D and 10U. He had an engineer out and was told thats the max the line could handle, and until he moved out was stuck with a max profile of 43.3D and 20U.
    Anyway I explained this situation to the sales rep when I ordered my new line and broadband and was assured this would NOT be the case in my situation. I was told that athough they could not give me specifics (aparently they are not allowed), but my line was coming out of a different "part" of the cabinet.
    I explained to the rep that I understand what he was saying but the previous tennant had been told by openreach that they were getting 80MB at the cabinet and the speed was reducing between the cabinet and the premises, and the new line they are installing was just a "take over" and not a new physucal line so therefore I am worried I might inherit the same issue.
    The sales rep told me this would definately not be the case and they get lots of calls like mine and its quite normal to expect things to be the same when you take over the line but this isnt how it works.
    So my question, is, does it sound like im being fobbed off or, is there really a chance that suddenly the line might be better if its coming out of a different part of the cabinet even though its the same physical line and the original connection was getting 80MB at the cab end.
    I was also promised that if i DIDNT get the expected speeds that BT would install a completely new physical line, which would be nice for customer options to listen into if things go pearshaped. I was also told that If i didnt get the estimates speed then I would only be charged for infinity 40/10??
    How much of this is waffle?
    CK

    Infinity installed...
    Same issues!!! Going to cancel and move to Sky's up to 40MB package for half the price. Being given the guff about waiting 10 days though.

  • I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

    Missing "7-Zip File"
    Hello,
    I haven't been able to update Firefox since 10.01 or 10.02 because every time I try I get the same message the "7-ZIP File" is missing. Then the update fails. I've submitted this problem to Mozilla Firefox and, got an immediate reply of " they are researching your problem".
    Well, you can tell how long that has been. Is there anything I can do, or any where I can go to get the file I need?
    Any constructive help would be very much appreciated! I'm not sure If I'll ever be able to find where this is located. But I do appreciate help just the same.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes installing work.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.
