Hekx Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Sounds like ntlworld dial-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRAVE Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well I think its supposed to happen....but is there a program or something that changes the address that I connect to my ISP every so often?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 It is more likely than not that the ISP has a limit set for each connection, once that time is up it will disconnect. Not much you can do about it really.... Other than change ISP's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 If it's NTL, the 'stay-connected' software I've tried doesn't work. If I remember correctly, they also disconnect you if you're idle for 10 minutes. They're broadband isn't that greater either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 It's standard practice for most 56k ISP's I'm afraid and there is nothing you can do about it except get Broadband which stays connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDragon Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 well I have no trouble with NTLs broadband, but then I only pay £4.99 a month for it as part of my student package so it maybe that I just don't expect as much from it as some of you do. good luck getting it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 My 56k is fine staying connected. The only problems I have in that area is if someone picks up the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that may seem like a long time, it is nothing! I stay on the internet for far longer than 8 hours, and it is really anoying to have a d/l interuted or a post interupted What's you ISP?
