How long are you able to browse before the connection goes dead... I ask as NTL disconnect dial up users after 2 hours online... |
Yes, I'm aware of the 2 hour disconnection thing, but my problem occurs kind of randomly. The modem won't actually disconnect - my computer still thinks I'm connected to NTLWorld, I just can't call up any websites, or check email, etc. This can happen as soon as my session starts, or sometimes, after a seemingly random period of time, when the connection has been working fine up until then.
Since NTL rewired our phone line, I was getting 49.2kbps connections everytime, but in the last week or two, it has been slower, like 42-44. I know it's not a great difference, but when your modem is 56k, you need all the help you can get!
