Dialup Connection
      #9619 - Mon Sep 08 2003 07:11 PM

My dialup connection, ISP onetel.net.uk, keeps cutting out while online. Can anyone offer advice or suggest free software to prevent this?

Is this after two hours?
No it's probably one of the terms and conditions of your ISP, designed to stop people just logging on and leaving their computer thus tying up bandwidth

When I was with Lineone.net they had a 2 hour cut off. Sometimes it would be sooner than that. However most of the time I could go for 3 or 4 hours before the cut off. The best I had was around 11 hours straight.

It depends how busy their servers are I suppose. 2 hours is the norm though.

I'm currently with Freeserve and they always disconnect me after exactly 2 hours.

This can be a bit annoying, but it can also act as a reminder as to how much time I have just wasted, prompting me to get on with something more constructive!

Check the cut off time on your isp. But also check if there is a restricton on traffic data. And if your on at peak time what do you expect
