]]>Note this is the theoretical max so actual speed depends on the distance to the cabinet and uses the existing copper end loop so more like an interim upgrade until full fibre to premises is released which may take some time due to the expenses involved
Currently BT and Talktalk sell this product as ultra fast 2 and EE are selling as fibre max and including an itroductory offer of BT home Wifi wireless network included , I dare say other providors will follow.
The Cabinets that have been upgraded look a bit odd and have an extention overhanging the side such as the one in Leamington Spa on the Old Milverton Road between the newsagent and the Vauxall Garage.

The Gfast 145 service is currently being rolled out across Warwick and hopefully other areas in the next 9 months .
]]>First of all we checked repaired the dead computer by replacing the computers dead power supply, we then checked both the Computers for malware and viruses and edited the startup files removing and unneeded programs, Early on in the checks the computers where found to be lacking in memory and we recommended an upgrade from the 4GB memory supplied to 8GB memory as recommended for Windows computers, The memory was ordered and fitted to the machines this sped up the machines and the customer was very happy with the results, We also suggested that if more speed is required that we could upgrade the hardrives fitted to these computers to SSD (Solid State Disks)
Whilst inside the machine we gave it a dust out and we also setup a computer backup system first a complete system backup and second a data backup to allow the user to backup the data from the computer as required.

we set up the Email settings on the Android tablet built in to the Van
we also set up Apple Mail on the customers Apple Macbook Pro
plus setup Apple Mail on the customers iPad , the system was set in a way so that a change on one Email system reflected on the other two.
]]>To repair this computer we ran a Malwarebytes scan which revealed some Trojan Virus problems and the possibility that the main cause is a virus hidden in the system files this is known as a root kit virus, to fix this we had to turn off the system restore service in the System Protection tab ran the antivirus root kit removal tools which found and removed the root kit virus, we then turned back on the system protection, created a new restore point and updated the antivirus definition.
This machine is now clean of viruses and working at its expected speed.
]]>We are here to give the customers Acer and Sony Vaio laptop Computer some general computer maintenance as well as some Dropbox support for a HTC Android phone.
The first computer we look at is the Sony Vaio laptop, The issue with this machine is fairly simple, it seems that Microsoft Internet Explorer upgraded to version 10 the day before and that caused Windows Live Mail to work off line, Unfortunately the option for this did not exist in the Windows Live Mail program, and the customer had been using Mozilla Firefox . all we had to do here was load Internet Explorer open the file menu and turn the work off line option off then back on again, this resulted in the customers email functioning normally again.
The next computer was a Toshiba Satellite laptop computer this one was running slow upon further investigation it was found that the Norton 360 antivirus and security had failed in some way. We removed Norton and reinstalled and then the computer was running at full speed again, also on this machine the customer wanted to transfer photos from a HTC Android smart phone the standard route is via a supplied USB cable but is cumbersome mistakes can be made and connectors damaged, leads lost etc, So for this one we installed Dropbox on the computer and the Andriod smart phone and enabled it to transfer pictures when ever it is logged in to a wireless network to keep the data usage costs down.
]]>We are here because the customer has reported pop ups and other strange adverts on their desktop computer running windows 7.
We started by checking the start up files and registry which in this case looked fine then removed any unneeded tool bars such as Babylon, Deal Vault and such like, at this point we had still not found the root cause of the problems and thus suspected a root kit virus which turned up a problem similar to a Trojan Virus that had attached its self to the system files and deeper in to the registry.
Once this malware was removed the pop up adverts had stopped but upon testing Microsoft Internet Explorer was not opening new pages correctly, this required a reset of the browser settings and all was fixed.
]]>We are here to fix a Dell Dimension computer that the customer has reported as not working, the fault here is that the computer powers up and then freezes on the BIOS screen.
After some investigation we discover that the USB ports on the front of the machine have some how been damaged so we open the computer up and disconnect the ports so to prevent more damage occurring through accidental use, this has got the customer up and running and after a brief check found the main screen was blurry this was found to be an incorrect resolution set and adjusted the screen settings accordingly
also in the office the customer had another Computer with 3 Monitor screens attached but only 2 working, after changing settings in the BIOS and installing the correct drivers we fixed it so that the machine has 3 monitors working.
]]>We are here after to set up and install TPlink wireless access points that the customer had ordered after an initial Survey conducted by our selves at the end of last week.
The customer is currently running a Solwise wireless mains extender system, The intention is to phase this out and replace with the wireless access points at strategic locations through out the premises on an existing wired network.
We summarised on a previous visit that 2 access points connected to the existing wired network should give signal to the intended wireless areas and most probably 90 % of the building.
Today we installed the 1st TP-Link Wireless access point which allowed full wireless access to the ground floor of the customers premises with a view to installing a second on the 1st floor at a later date.
Whilst here we connected the customers HP Laserjet m1522nf network printer to the network and connected it to all the desktop and laptop computers in the premises.
Also the customer reported an issue with a Buffalo Terrastation network hard drive, This was reset to factory defaults connected to a laptop and reset up for the customers network, we also mapped the drives to show on one of the desktop computers.
]]>last week we determined that the Apple Mac required updating to Snow Leopard and had ordered from apple unfortunately this was only available via post and not electronic download.
We installed the 10.6.4 supplied updated to 10.6.8 upgraded the itunes from version 9 to version 11 this allowed us to link the phone to the mac to enable syncing of music etc
Then we installed the HP Photosmart 5520 wireless printer on to the customers network and loaded the drivers on to the Apple Mac.
In the end the customer was easily able to transfer music between the Apple Mac computer and the iPhone 5 as well as being able to print direct from either to the HP Photosmart 5520 wireless network printer.
