Direct tv
So we switched from Dish Network to Directtv today (Its p99 related trust me). Our dish network wasn't connected to the internet but apparently directtv has to be or the technician made it sound like it needed to be.
Now I've never had serious connection issues before but now that directtv is online I can't stay on for more than 30-45 seconds without crashing. I'm fine for that first point of logging on, chats working, I can send tells, everything. My connection is 100% ping 77, after a time the connection just starts plummeting until I either /q or wait until the disconnect screen. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something like this or knows a way to maybe help stabilize my connection?

I got my internet from dish. But they subcontract to a company called via Sat. When I have service calls done, a Direct TV tech shows up. They pretty much all subcontract each other. Changing brands really means nothing.
I just went through 2 weeks of Via Sat having routing issues. I could pull up forums pages, but big sites like google and yahoo I could not. They got that fixed, but i still run 650 ms ping in ping tests. aND 750MS PING IN GAME. | ||

The only difference is our dish was never connected to the internet and now our directv is hardlined directly into my router.
im going to call tomorrow and see if it is asbolutely necessary for it to be hardlined if not im yankin it, I can barely browse...

I don't use a satellite connection, directtv isn't my isp.
I use fairpoint dsl, but they hardlined my Directv box directly into my router to retrieve guide info etc etc so it would wouldn't have to use the dish or something. Having plugged into my router has crippled my internet, was just wondering if anyone had expereinced something similar. If theres an easy way around it or something..

They did. Before it was just my phoneline into my modem, line to wireless router, line direct to pc.
They added a line into the back of my wireless router connect the directtv box to it.

I dont have sat tv, just internet. the way i understand sat tv is if the tv box needs updates it uses the dish to download them. To the best of my knowledge your TV should not require access to the internet. Possibly they did that to use your DSL for patching to not use their bandwidth. since you are on a PPPoE, you should be able to limit the bandwidth to the TV box. with the PPPoE it runs on static IP's and you can set bandwidth limits per each IP.

Yeah thats what they did, using my internet instead of using their own.
Care to share a link on how to limit bandwidth? I'm totally lost when it comes to this, i might just yank their connection and force them to use their satellite bandwidth
