Keep getting disconnected from online games!

[BloodRevolver]

Hello.

I am in dire need of your help.

Every time I play an online game on PS2 or PC it will freeze for about a second then play smoothly and repeat this like every 20 seconds.

Then I will eventually get disconnected. It's very annoying.

This has happened to me on Smackdown vs RAW, Socom 3, Resident Evil Outbreak 2, Project Shadowblind, and Final Fantasy XI (all Playstation 2
games).

And on online PC games. It does the **exact** same thing.

So, I know that my PC is not causing this but rather the modem / settings.

But I never get disconnected while surfing the web.

What could be the cause of this?

I've got a 1.5 MB connection and I average about 70 KB/s and 100+ on fast servers.

My upload rate is 128 kb/s and I average about 12 KB/s uploads.

I live about 15 miles from the city where my ISP is.

And I'm using a Netopia Cayman 3346 Router / Modem.

Please help.

It maybe the distance from your house to the location of the ISP.
The only way I possibly find a way to fix your problem is call your ISP's tech support or complain. Just my 2 cents

If your being disconnected the problem obviously isnt the console/PC, its your internet connection. I would advise looking at your internet/modem/router/switch settings. If that fails, ask your internet provider and see if they have any information on your problem, if that fails, there might be something wrong interally with the modem (short circut ect...) which is out of my knowledge, but I'm sure most of any stores who sell modems would be able to repair them/get you another one free of charge. Hope this helps.
