Canadian Broadband → Re: PPPOE, router, disconnects/lag

I am also having the exact same problem with this comtrend modem and a lynksys router.....any ideas at all are much appreciated..

I have found that Aliant now sucks for gaming. The problem is they don't allow more than 200 simultaneous connections and if you do, they will force you to disconnect and reconnect (PPPOE). This is a problem since most games I play make more then 200 simultaneous connections when they get a server list. I got this reply from tech support.

"I have checked with our senior support team and the limit on simultaneous connections at once is 200. After this point, your connection will become very slow and quite possibly shutdown.
Although unsupported by Aliant, you may want to check within the game for a setting which will allow you to limit the number of connections."

This could explain why it happens when running servers too.
I also have a Linksys router and the Comtrend modem.

Yeah and it totally sucks.
This has to be the only ISP that would limit the maximum concurrent connections.
Talk about braindead.
