Can this get any more annoying??????

I know there are 101 posts / complaints about the ' error in connection to server ' message that we are all experiencing at the moment....

But I have got another problem that is even more annoying !

My AOL ( spelt crap ) broadband connection keeps on disconnecting on the dot of every 5 mins....

.... which makes it bloomin difficult to read and / or post anything on this board !!!!

After numerous calls to AOL tech help, they are sending me a new modem...

Maybe I can stop typing at the rate of knots then !

Wouldnt be something stupid like your email automatically checking for new mail every five mins then disconnecting when its done?

.... wouldn't have thought so... it seems to be okay throughout the day, and then when it gets to about 16.00hs, it starts and just disconnects every 5 mins !!
