Re: IPoker Problems

nigelking:
im still unable to connect to bluesquare after three weeks of waiting for the issues to be sorted out, so ive tried adjusting the settings on my router, the largest packet size (MTU) i can use and still have a reliable connection is 1300, go any higher than that and im unable to connect to the poker server, going smaller just slows the connection down as it takes longer for the data to be sent back and forth in the open connection between my router and the servers at bluesquare but it works, so my advice to any user would be to reduce the setting by a level 50 at a time until you can establish a good connection. i would be interested to find out what MTU settings other isp"s use as a standard.
As i play on lots of other poker sites regularly, stars, pacific, party, poker.co.uk, will hill, ladbrokes, betfair and bugsys club to name but a few and never have any problems with them id have to say that the problem probably lies with bluesquare and not aol or tt, which begs the question why does apat want to be affiliated to a second rate package that doesnt deliver the goods to all of its members.
I guess it comes down to the needs of the organization and not the needs of the members. it wasnt that long ago that apat was touted as a place to play good structured tournaments for cheap buyins in a live environment, whereas now you have to qualify online and not in a local casino, the online game and a live game are totally different, each has its own set of skills and disciplines, so im sure that there are players out there who have supported apat since it started that have suffered since the changes have been implemented.
i wish apat could find a new sponsor with different aspirations and go back to what it always did best, support local amateur talent and give it a chance to grow instead of becoming some kind of corporate whore but hey i guess that aint ever gonna happen, bring back pokerstars i say lol.  

APAT:
This post was moved to the moderators board for a short while by a mod who saw it as "attacking".  I think it is okay to publish as it is Nigel"s view.

duke3016:
my ISP is be there (which is now owned by 02) and I have no problems with any poker site, including all the above and BSQ. So I don"t think its a BSQ problem it"s whatever ISP that people have

My opinion of course (MTU 1500 by the way)

Swinebag:
I"m on talk talk and am able to get on BSQ without any problems.

Dont agree with the rest of the OP either....on many levels

I found this in another thread and may have some bearing...


--- Quote ---We are very sorry for problems that players with AOL or Talk Talk as an ISP have been experiencing.

The explanation from Talk Talk was that the disconnections and overall connectivity problems on the i-Poker network services were caused by the fact that they were treating our software and the services it connects to as P2P software and restricting it"s use due to that. The restriction has apparently been lifted and connectivity from Talk Talk broadband connections have been successfully tested.

However, AOL remains an issue for some players. AOL and Talk Talk are owned by the same company although are run as separate companies and it appears that AOL is doing exactly the same thing. i-Poker have made AOL aware that lots of their customers are having this problem and it is reflecting badly on them but have no legal grounds to force them to take any action in the matter.

Unfortunately, we cannot fix the internet issues for the end-users. If the connectivity to our servers does not work or is intermittent and the customer(s) is unable to troubleshoot this with the ISP then there is very little we can do about it from our side. We know that this is an issue that affects a large database but we are in no position to force AOL to resolve the matter and will just keeping trying and hope it is resolved asap!
