Ok, this cable internet company is spooking me out...
Rogers @ Home any1?
It only works 15% of the precious 24hr that I have each day. In WarCraft III, I can count on getting disconnected within 5 min of the game in such resource non-intensive games as Wintermaul. Counting the lag, it's even worst than the continously streaming 56k connections. ************ cable company. Thing is, I got no choice if I want anything approachable to "high-speed" because this god **** cable monopoly in my area. No DSL connectivity available yet, even tho I live in a metropolitan city in Canada.
At first, I suspected a faulty cable connecting the modem to the cable outlet. When I move the modem next to the "master cable" sticking out of my floor, I find the same god **** intermittent service disruption. Phoned the god **** company, but all they did was "boost the signal" which worked okay for the next 10 minutes thereafter, then fails.
Any1 got any suggestions as to the problem/solution?
I suspect this to be god **** ********** greed monopoly company policy. "We are the only operation highspeed/cable company in your area so get used to the god **** non-existant service, since you (desperately) need our service, and we will deliver said service at the time of our choosing during the day".
Anyother problem that I could think of was going over my upload/download limit probably set at 10Gig/month. Hmmm, not really the case tho, since I could not have downloaded more than 3 Gigs of data this month. And no, I'm not the sharing type. I don't share anything beyon 50kB over the internet.
Just bring in a new cable company into my area bro, and I'll shove that cable bill up ur arse Rogers.
