Re: How do you deal with this BS?
I have problems with my cable too.. i set my computer up upstairs (was downstairs with very little problems) and i think this cable wire is having problems.. has no problems hooked up to a tv but hooked up to the comp it is constantly going out for 3-4 mins then reconnecting. Like a jackass i tried to log into aol w/ my parents connection as a backup (thinking i could have the dialup connected w/ my cable to use instantly when the cable went down).. but aol wants to always connect via the high speed when its working, haha. still waiting 2 mins or so for it to dial-in is faster than screwing with the cable (which sometimes doesnt reconnect for 10 mins or more).. and when it does reconnect i can just close aol..
however getting dsl as a backup is def a better solution, and thanks to this thread I know what i need to do to accomplish that <g>
