This would be much worse if it had been at a site that simply folds you when you disconnect.

Although for those of us with stable connections, the sites that fold you are much better overall. Damn intentional disconnects.

Same thing happened here earlier on the Moneymaker tourney on stars- ridiculous.

Comcast has a huge monopoly in the Philly area and all the politico's are all getting paid off to keep them. Verizon is trying to come in, but it will be just as expensive.
