how does having DSL and cable at the same time work?
Im an SNG player, and every time my cable goes out for a few minutes I lose all my SNG's. Apparently my cable is fine and according to the cable company "these things just happen". I am wondering if there is a way I could order DSL and have it plugged into my computer along with the cable so if one goes out I wouldnt even notice. I am very ignorant about computers and any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

If your cable is failing you enough to wonder about a backup, why subsidize spotty service by paying for DSL too? DUMP THE CABLE if it's that bad...

its not that bad, goes out maybe twice a week and only for a few minutes. also its the only kind of cable available here. How do I go about getting this router job? like is there a number I can call where someone will come to my house and set this up for me?

Is this only one of its kind? $400 is alot but this seems worth it.

when it comes to those load balance routers you can pick them up lighter that $400 if you shop around and a 5-port would be alot less expensive than a larger one, depends how many computers you are putting on your home network.

[/ QUOTE ] If you are in a SNG and one of them disconnects, you will notice it no matter what. If I were in your situation and my normal connection just dissconects I would connect with a modem and restart the poker client, and it should let you play on, and you just missed a few hands (atleast prima let you do this). And by the way, why would you keep your cable if you had DSL?
