I can't seem to stay on longer than 10 minutes

[Firebert_Lakshmi]

I've been gone a couple months and now that I have some time to play again, I can't stay on very long. If it's because I have to update my payment to Clickandbuy, then no thanks. I wish you all the best of luck.

Are you dcing out? Might wanna check ports are forwarded correctly.

Is it the same ISP you've always used?

Have you recently up/downgraded to a higher/lower speed?

Are you using a new router or some type of new hardware?

Have you tried playing on a different computer?

If none of that seems to be the problem, try doing a "check Files" and see if there's a corrupted dat or something causing you to d/c.

Router/modem is usually the culprit behind d/cs like this. It can seem fine just casual browsing on the internet, but connecting to FFXI is where you see if your router has any design flaws.

Isn't there a pill for that?

Seriously though... Have you got unlimited downloads from your ISP? Even if you have and you've gone outside 'fair use' they will restrict your access which might cause this type of problem.

Could be the payment thing tho. If you haven't switched SE will block you like you haven't paid sooner or later.

Need more information on just exactly what is going on.

If you are not able to log all the way into the game because you need to make changes toyour billing, then you may need to complete the transfer process so you can access the proper pages to do it. That wouldn't affect the stability of your connection though.

If it is a matter of your connection or the game crashing, then there is a technical issue with either your system/game files or your connection/ISP.

Need to clarify just exactly what is going on to determine what to troubleshoot.

I can get into the actual game just fine. I'm in Jeuno forr maybe 5 to 10 minutes before my game crashes. And when it crashes my entire internet connection is down for a while. Nothing's changed with my internet plan within the past months. Unless Qwest became a piece of crap.

That sounds like a failing modem/router. I ran into some issues with my TWC issued modem a few months back. Sometimes internet was up full throttle for hours, or it would be in 5-10 minute spurts. Took me half an hour to get emails out to some friends that I wouldn't be able to attend that weekend's LS events because of it.

Tech replaced all my connectors, tested resistances, ran transfer tests and everything checked out on the lines---2 modem swaps later, I was back up and running full throttle.

I'd contact your local provider to schedule a tech to come check your lines and have them bring a pre-tested modem with them for swap out, just in case.

The thought that Click and Buy is in some way responsible for your failure to stay online is the single most absurd statement I've ever heard or read. Did you think that through? You said even after you get booted from the game, you have trouble with your internet. How is that possibly Click and Buy's fault?

Does it happen only in Jeuno, or elsewhere too?
