    I donno why this is. But during the day my connection is stable and im able to play games on my dial up connection (cant get dsl wher ei live) but at night it will pause and stuff and makes games unplayable. Anyone know whats the cause? its worked for 2 years for 2 months ago it started this =/

    It turns out almost no-one uses dialup during the day
    But come evening everybody is on
    dialup accounts are on a minimum of 3 to 1 ratio most are on a 5 to 1
    so with 3 people trying to get internet on the same modem as you it becomes hard to stay connected
    lag is a major problem are you sure you cannot get even half a meg dsl most places can
