Can't upload anymore!

Off-topic

I’ve had it with my crappy att wireless web! it now just totally shuts down without warning at least every 5 minutes, then takes almost that long to boot back up! This makes uploading or downloading anything more than a few megs impossible!

It’s driving me crazy and the idiots at att just keep giving me the run around and won’t do anything to fix it! Anyway, I have another video i’m trying to upload to youtube, but because my internet connection keeps getting cut off, I have to keep starting all over again with the upload, so…

Does anyone know of a program that will at least save what you have uploaded so it can “resume” the upload if you lose internet connection? Is there anything like that I can download that might help me in this situation? Thanks if you do please let me know asap! :smiley:

This happens a lot with my Internet at my dads house. Accept not as long it just shuts off and turns back on every now and then. It is annoying seeing page cannot be found offline every couple minutes or so arg. I would like help with this to.

Well there are download resumers, but I’ve never heard of and upload resumer.

I think the reason is that downloads are managed by the client, whereas uploads are managed by the server.

Sounds like a problem you’ll just have to work out with ATT.

Yeah, ATT is of has been of no help at all. I’ve spoken on the phone countless times with “techs” and they’ve walked me through a myriad of troubleshooting stuff, but nothing has helped. They even replace the DSL modem and even that didn’t solve the problem! I’m told it’s probably shoddy, inferior “Firmware” in the modem, so I’m shopping around for another service provider.

you should get verizon FIoS

my dad works for verizon, so I’m helping him get some profit

not avaiable in my area.:frowning: My only other options are to go back to dial up :astonished: :astonished: :astonished: , or get Time Warner cable, but it’s a lot more $$.:frowning:

+1 (even though Terry can’t get it, just +1 for anyone who can)

We have FIoS, and it’s really reliable and high quality stuff.

Wireless you say?

Maybe its the positioning of your box/antenna?

I had a wireless set up, and in certain areas of my room it worked a lot better and reliably than in other spots of my room.

Really? When did fios become available dallas, because when I had lived there I don’t think we were able to get it. Of course, I moved last year, and a lot can happen in a year

Terry, you may just need to get a different router. I have ATT dsl at my house, but with a dsl modem that’s not a wireless router. I have a Netgear MIMO wireless router attached to it, and it rocks. I had a crappy Belkin wireless router with probably the same kind of wireless that’s built into your modem, and it dropped signals all the time, too. This Netgear is awesome–and has incredible range, too. If I didn’t have it secured, I’d be giving internet to people six or more houses away. It’s amazing.

So my setup is like this: the phone wire goes into the DSL modem, and I run a CAT5 cable (ethernet) to my Netgear router. Then I run CAT5 again to a desktop computer that’s close to the router, and use wireless for the other four computers in the house. It might be worth it to try out a different wireless router before tossing ATT out. Although I think they’re pretty clueless about many things (billing, for instance–don’t get me started!), the service of the DSL signal into my house has had no problems in several years of use.

It was fairly recent, within the past year.

So I don’t have to use the ATT modem? I can use other brand stuff?
