Tiscali probs

Hey all

As the title suggests, I am currently on tiscali 512kb/s broadband. The problem is that over the past few days I have been experiencing 'connection interrupted' on the online games that I play. It doesnt happen constantly and it seems worse in the evenings and weekends than during the day. It is like a 5 second lag and happens every 5 minutes, roughly, at bad times, and not at all when its behaving itself. This has really started to annoy me and ive just emailed tiscali to see what they have to say on the matter, but im not holding out much hope with them, from past experiences.

What ive tried so far:
-reconnecting and cleaning all filters
-unplugging and replugging in modem
-adware/spyware/virus scans
-system restore to before it was happening
-testing for different settings ingame and with/without voice comms on in background

All the things above have had no effect, just wondering if you guys have any suggestions. Thanks in advance
 
try the following test

1) disconnect all phones from all sockets (inc extensions)
2) plug adsl modem directly to master socket without filters
3) ring bt and say problem with noise on line for voice calls (do not say for adsl otherwise they won't bother checking anything)
4) check with isp to see if they have any connection issues or if other customers experiencing the same problem
5) have you been moved over to tiscali's llu, this could also be the cause of the fault

if modem cable uses the rj12 connection then try it with cable that has the old long white connector (old modem cable will work fine)

if connection still drops then issue probably with line, modem or pc configuration, if fine then possible fault with parts of you system ie filters, phones, extensions or whatever you've disconnected, try reconnecting bit by bit to eliminate the possible faulty item

if you know someone with a spare adsl modem you could try use that to test connection

litteraly you need to elimate all your kit
 
What game is it your playing?

Please don't say BF2142 or BF2 because if it is either of those then it's the game, everyone is suffering the same issue. You'll just have to wait for EA to patch the game.

If not try turning some of your settings down within the game and that should stop lag.
