How do you deal with this BS?
 

I just lost another $100-$200 in EV in disconects, if I can't find a solution to this im switching to ring games, I have cable, and this happens about once a week (I play all day, so im pretty much on half the time it goes out). Every day this happens I lose all the EV that I would have gained for the day, 4x$33=$132 on average, although on this occasion I had big stacks so it cost me more. I can't have this happen again, it flushes away a days work and happens so frequently.

I do not know anything about computers or anything technical, I also can not buy anything online unless they take neteller. I am willing to spend up to $1500 fixing this problem if there is any way to stop it. Somebody please tell me what I need to do or what I need to buy to stop me from ever losing my connection again, thanks.

Computer Technical Help would be a lot better form to post this in.

Nobody can help you never get disconnected again,

but I believe some 2+2ers actually have 2 mehtods of connecting to the internet as a safety.

If you can, get cable/DSL from another provider and have it as a backup.

That would probably cost you $50-$70/mo, instead of the ridiculous* $1500 you're offering [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You get Cable and DSL then you get some sort of router than can handel two sources of internet. This should make it so your disconnects go down.

Could I buy the DSL service, then keep the little wire that plugs into my computer at the ready, and then when I get disconected on cable quickly go down and switch the plugs, before I even miss a hand. Is this possible? Would this virtually eliminate my disconects?

Re: How do you deal with this BS?
 

you'll need a small router that can handle multiple internet connection types. for example, dsl and cable modem (i suggest checking out www.cisco.com). have your router configured (by someone who knows what they're doing) to load balance traffic across both internet connections. this way if one isp goes down for whatever reason, your router can still reach whatever poker site you play on through the other isp. and of course when both isp's are up and running...twice as fast internet access speeds. pm me if you have any other q's.
