Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
For the last few days I've encountered a ton of disconnects on Full Tilt that usually last no longer than a minute. For a SNG player, that can be death of course. I have a Comcast cable connection and have rarely had these problems before. Also, I'm playing on other sites too and had no problems while Full Tilt was disconnecting.
Anyone else have these issues or have any suggestions? I've emailed FTP support, but my hopes aren't so high there. |

Re: Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
Im in Maryland and have had no problems with Comcast recently.
The only lag issue I have had with FTP is when the lobby is updating alot of info. Like today during the $400k, I had to close the lobby because the continuous updating of chip counts, ranks etc of 2000+ players was giving me a bit of a lag. So, if you play alot of tournies and SNG's maybe close all the lobbies. |

Re: Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
I have noticed the same thing for PStars. (I have Comcast and live north of DC) Could you guys go to PStars and do a network status and post it on here? I will post what I sent to PStars and my reply here in a bit.

Re: Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
Hello XXXXXXXX,
In all likelihood, this isn't a problem at either your end or ours. It looks like one of the major peers on the way from your computer to Yahoo is experiencing technical difficulties. Allow me to explain. The Internet is a peer to peer network. Information between your computer and Yahoo's servers will pass through a large number (8 to 24 or more) of "peers", machines that aren't Yahoo's and that also don't belong to your ISP. Your connection is only as good as the WORST of these machines. If any single one of these is having trouble, or fails to properly forward your data, you won't be able to connect to Yahoo. You will often be able to check Email or browse other sites, even if your connection to Yahoo experiences brief outages. This is because the path (the chain of machines) between you and each destination site you visit is different. The path to your Email server, for example, is very short since your Email server is usually right there at your ISP. The path to other sites you might use to test (like PokerStars or Google) will likely be very different as well, based on geography. You may have a stable path to Google, but an unstable path to Yahoo simply because your path to Yahoo passes through an unreliable peer. In all likelihood, your problems are temporary, and whatever issue is causing them will be fixed in a relatively short period of time. If not, you should contact your ISP for advice - perhaps there are known problems, or there is something you can do to increase the quality of the connection at your end. I hope this information helped. If you have any further questions, let us know.

Re: Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
Thanks Ender and others for the feedback. I tried the Poker Stars network status and got the same results with a bad Yahoo connection.

Re: Full Tilt Disconnects using Comcast
Hey guys,
I am in Gaithersburg MD, about 30 minutes North of DC, and have been experiencing the same exact problems with Stars and Full Tilt. I do use Comcast. This started for me about 7-10 days ago and it sucks. I usually lose my connection for about 20 seconds each time and it happens about every 5-10 minutes. Not only annoying to me, but I am sure everyone at my tables as well. So do we think this is a Comcast problem? I too have checked my Network Status and Stars and usually see that I have one bad connection. Right now the Yahoo is at 0% Connection. |
