    I assume you agree with the principle though?

    For every problem there has to be a reason why it happens... Why are you specifically having non-stop problems when probably 90% of people don't?

    Of course I believe you that you must be having the problems (why would you lie) but there has to be a reason why it only affects the same small group of people over and over. Sky obviously haven't chosen to single you out for a laugh, so there HAS to be something that you and me do differently.

    I have no idea what it is, like I said, I'm not that great with this kind of thing but there has to be some reason surely.

    FWIW my download speed was 74.74Mbs.

    I never have any connection issues apart from when the site is down.
     

    Are you guys working wirelessly on a lappy for instance or a wired connection?

    Any more info on RAM (Memory) CPU (Processor) Operating system? all this info may help.

    How much of your CPU & memory is being used if you check it in "Task Manager" & what programs/processes are using the most of these resources?

    Why dont you make a video i.e. record your screen of sky crashing, a speed test, show task manager and another site working fine.

    Might help figure out what's going on!

    I've actually been doing some research on this.

    My findings show that the issue seems to occur in UK and Ireland.

    No reports of the issue in Uganda however.

    I have no problems with the tables on browser or download except (see below) My PC is about 3 years old - HP Elite 7300 i7-2600 3.40Ghz, 6Gb RAM. Running Win7Pro 64-bit. CPU util hardly ever breaks into double figures, even running 20 tables.
    DSL speed is about 12mbps downstream.

    The only issue is the widely reported (by me) memory leak in the download client.
    It causes the client to crash when it's exhausted all available memory, which it can do fairly quickly.

    Do a forum search for memory leak and you should find my posts.

    Regarding REDARROW's issue specifically, I think I'd need to sit down infront of the PC and investigate while the problem was happening. Very tricky to diagnose remotely. Too many variables! (sorry!)

    The laptop is fine that you want to buy but it will not help with the speed of your internet.

    I don't think the poker clients use much network bandwidth.  Saying that, Daphne, why is your broadband speed so incredibly low?

    I'm not very technical, pc or laptop wise, however I don't think your internet speed is the most important thing, is you processor, as Lambert says I think sky's software demands more from your processor. I have quite frequent freezing issues, but not that many it would discourage me from playing on sky.

    You never get what you pay for,the good old 'UP TO'.But there is an expectation of a fair % of what you are paying for which you are definitely not getting.

    NOT So Simples........

    as the OLD Tables will soon be a thing of the past and you will only be able to play the new ones.

    The sooner peeps get used to it the better.

    upload= 2.11mb/s

    Really ?  and soon you say ? why ?

    Why is it not possible for sky to keep the 'old table' design as an extra option permanantly, seeing as so many people seem to prefur using them.

    I wanted the extra's such as auto top up,table resizing etc,but was happy with the old table design be gutted if they disappear all together.
