Default Re: Cable modem resetting while playing at Full TIlt

Disclosure: I'm no tech whiz.

This spring I had very similar problems.
I swapped out a couple computers to verify the issues were not on my side.

I had to contact the cable company many many times to resolve the issue.
1st-they sent out a guy who replaced a portion of the cable that had been damaged.
2nd-they had me exchange modems.
3rd-they exchanged and upgraded my modem.
4th-they sent a guy who said my cable was split for net/TV. he had set it up just for internet since I don't want cable tv.

problem seemed resolved for the last 2 months. Shortly after getting good connection returned, I went busto on full tilt and kept on playing at Stars with no problems.

this week, I opened FTP for the first time in at least 3 or 4 weeks. 2nd day, I saw my first disconnects warnings since May. I didn't lose connectivity, but I couldn't help but notice the coincidence with me using FTP.

I don't think FTP is to blame, but maybe their software is more burdensome than others.
