Take this as a suggestion, not an insult.. But in the year 2006, you shouldn't be using a 56k modem 'especially' for online gaming. :) That's very likely the only reason you're getting "connection losts" if your internet otherwise works fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you couldn't log in at all, it could be a different problem. Now that you mention that, I would say it's a good idea to get 'at least' a 1mb+ cable modem, though a 256k will do o.k. if you just browse around and play RS.

RS bandwidth use is well under the limits of 56k and shouldn't cause you any problems if you live in any decent sized town. Some areas also don't have cable rolled out and distances are too great for DSL connections, leaving people with dialup, or high priced, high latency satellite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you tryed different servers? Do you have all the drivers for the modem installed? Has anything else on your machine changed since the storm?

I've found that serving icecream with the brownies will greatly reduce the connection loss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise it might be a sign from God to quit runescape :anxious:

That is just Dial-Up, you are lucky. I can only get 28.8kbps... With Dial-Up you will always have "Lag". This is probably not a problem with your Computer, but if you get a power serge though the phone line you will blow your modem. I have blown quite a lot of modems though the years.
