OK, I'm getting a bit annoyed as of right now.
A month ago, they sent us a new modem, thinking that the drops were because the modem was defective; Netflix was causing the router to reset completely.
Skip to now: Minecraft MP is causing the """"""new"""""" modem to crash.
Any place for recommendations?
*On a side note, Minecraft is randomly exiting out, no reason why.
(laptop I'm using has the most up-to-date graphics. ATI denies it ever being made, and Dell has newest drivers from '05.)
Thing is, it's a WiMax modem. No phone cables.
Well, I got the driver taken care of (with a little bit of editing... )
1680*1050 gaming, anyone?
Still on the lookout for better ISPs.
I can think of only 2 times in the time I've had my Centurylink service that its gone down and only for an hour each time.
This connect from a Netgear DSL Modem/Router, to my router in the basement that feeds to my desktop and file server. Working from home and having all 3 of us online at the same time, me for work and the wife and kid on youtube and netflix all day really never taxes the connection.
By that, do you mean you now have a wired connection from the PC to the modem or router then back to Wifi? Going from Wifi, to router/modem back to Wifi is probably whats killing your connection speeds.
I don't know if this will help, but here's a link to some ISP's in Idaho.

may i recommend a cool setup? http://linksysco.com/download.php this makes your router pick up wifi through wireless, and port it through Ethernet ports on the back, you can buy huge gain antennas, mine can barely pick up sac airport, which im guesstimating is 40 miles away as the crow flies.

The WRT54G is a good router too (if you have that to use the link on).
I would also be careful with the sites you go to. lol They may have site monitoring too.
In other words, be careful. lol
