Anyone use dial-up?
Unfortunately, where I live (Philly suburbs) DSL is not currently available and broadband is pretty pricy, so right now I'm still using dial-up (AT&T Worldnet). Recently I find myself frequently getting disconnected while in the middle of a hand. I will sometimes even lose my seat at the table (I typically play at the Cryptos, two-tabling). I thought it might be a problem with their server, but last night I lost my connection completely while in the middle of a Turbo SNG at Stars (it was down to five). AT&T's software locked up, I ended up re-booting and by the time I got back, of course, it was over and I finished fourth (naturally). Has this happened to anyone else using dial-up? If you do use dial-up and have not had these problems can you please tell me whose service you are using?
Thanks for any responses.
