Well the good news for many of you is that i no longer get kicked off games online, thanks to Freeola i have managed to sort that issue.

The slightly bad news is that now my Dad has a Ps3 for COD4 and MW2, when he is online and if i am online or someone is on a laptop, then things all go a bit wrong. Is there anyway to strengthen or improve this??

Would it help if i was connected via cable and he was on wireless, or is it just one of them things that because i have a poor connection speed these are the problems i will face??

I know i am a Technical liability lol, but any help or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

All I can suggest is you make sure that you are getting the most out of your BB connection.

But unfortunately that means getting some stats for your line from your router - as I mentioned here before.

As you were having some problems with this Freeola suggested that they could look remotely for you - might be an offer you need to take up?

Again all the stuff about the 'TEST' socket needs to be done as well I'm afraid...

Well basically if i am on COD4 and my GF is on facebook then it is almost game over, my connection slows right down and i will often get kicked. Same thing happens if my dad goes on Ps3 and someone is on the internet.

I have not tried if we are both playing COD4 at the same time, but imagine it would be as bad. I have less than a 1mb connection.

I can't imagine your slow connection would be that bad 0_o I have a terrible wireless connection on a 6.5Mb, but I can run WOW, download on PS3 (or play Resi 2 online) whilst my sister or girlfriend downloads music happily.

I would say if you can go wired than do so, but it won't cause that much an issue I would have thought. Hmmm..... might pop in and add some info......
