Well, it's my ISP choice that seems to give me the problems. AOL was the best for stability and speed, although it slowed my system down at the time lol, and they messed up my bill so i was forced to cancel my AOL account.
I then moved to tiscali, which was good at first, until i upgraded to the MAX package, same goes for pipex which came after.
And now i'm with BT, again, it was ok at first when i had a connection speed of 1mb, but as soon as i upgraded to the upto 8meg package, it was faster but not as stable.
I know that the upto 8mb packages are not as stable as say a 1mb package, but i would rather have a faster connection because i am paying £28 a month, this price plan is the only one with "unlimited" usuage.
Hopefully my ISP can fix the problem though, i have requested a line test so can find out if my line is causing the problem or not.
