Hello all! I don't tend to do this a lot, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Over the last few months, I've been having increasing troubles being booted out of my online games. Mostly this had been happening in Guild Wars and Tabula Rasa, so I initially assumed it was some problem with NCSoft - perhaps those titles in particular are more finicky than most with dropped packets and suchlike.
The trouble with this kind of troubleshooting exercise though, is that there are just so many links in the chain, between me and my Mesmer and/or Grenadier, and in my freshly-disconnected fury, I'd never sat down and tried to work out what exactly was going wrong.
Anyway, it wasn't until my Troubles during the recording of Shut Up We're Talking, that I started to think the problem might be closer to home - Skype can't hack it either, which is ridiculous!
So anyway, the long and the short of it, is that I am in the market for a new ISP, my current provider, Demon Internet, having gone severely downhill in my estimation. So I throw myself on the mercy of my UK readers. Please do chip in with any recommendations for a replacement ISP, below! I'm looking for an ADSL Broadband package, and I think I'm capable of 2Mbps, possibly 8... not sure. Obviously, I'm mostly using it for MMO gaming, and tend to have email and website stuff done independently of the ISP anyway. Speed isn't as important to me as 100% Ironclad Reliability, re disconnects, and I don't mind paying a bit extra for quality, what with this nonsense being, well, my entire life and all.
(I appreciate do appreciate sympathy from any Overseas readers, but I'm not sure you'll be able to help me I'm afraid!)
