Multi-Table from Dail-Up?

Lawnboy · #1 06-02-2005, 02:42 PM

OK, I havn't used a dail-up connection in years, but my Cable Modem connection is constantly getting "Internet Delays" on the Party sites of 12-20+ seconds. This is not only extremely frustrating, but has lost me $$$ on more than one occasion.

Unfortuntely, there is nothing my ISP can/is willing to do about this. My place cannot get DSL, so I'm left with only one option, Dail-Up, arghhhh.

So does anyone out there use dail-up for 4+ table play? Is it feasible? Any other suggestions on what to do about the "Internet Delays"?

Thanks for any input,

I routinely play 3-4 tables a time on dial up, and dont have that much of a problem if any. I dont think I would try to play more though. However I will be getting DSL in the near future once my House is done being built. I just dont want to go through the hassle of changing right now.

56k: 4 tables successfully working. No probs whatsover, but haven't tried more.

64k/isdn: 8 tables playable at least. Again, no probs whatsoever.

Could depend on your provide however, I'm not sure if one sample fits all.

Lawnboy,
I hope that you meant "Dial up" and not "Dail up". Because you used it several times I was beginning to think that there was a new technology out there that I didn't know about [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

DSL is not the only high speed option you know. Surely you can get a high speed cable hook up where you are? If not, direct tv satellite offers high speed hook ups.

I stuck with dial up for a long time, I couldn't stand to go back to it now. I'd rather grind my own face off with a belt sander...

Sorry, much better at 7Stud then spelling.

I currently have a cable connection, this is what's having the problem. My apartment doesn't have the right view for satellite.

Anyone else experience the dreaded "Internet Delays" on Party and skins?

Routinely playing 4 tables w/PT and GT+ @24K without problems.

Very little data is actually sent over the connection. I had no trouble multi-tabling with dial-up after my move and before my DSL was up and running.

I have cable and it has always been incredibly fast with seamless reliability.
