Party/skins: (connection is poor) (connection lost) (internet delays

[PrincipalSkinner]

Literally EVERY SINGLE TIME I PLAY I experience this at least once. I laboriously load my 14 tables and get everything running smoothly for awhile, and then it starts:
(connection is very good) turns to connection is good, poor, lost, internet delays 12 seconds, 14 seconds, etc., trying to reconnect, action keys become frozen on the few tables that are still functioning, etc. This is really a nightmare.

It is either the fault of the sites or my ISP (I have a cheapo dial-up connection). I'd like to know if other prople are experiencing this and if there is any cure and if it would be just as bad or worse if I were running multiple prima sites rather than party sites.

Any feedback on this situation would be greatly appreciated--thank you!
