Has anyone had any issues with getting disconneted at a key point of a game? Today I was playing in a Maui Jackpot $5 SnG at CD Poker I had placed 1st and 2nd in the last two so I was going for the consolation prize of 5 top 2 places in a row. There was about 5 people left and I had close to $4k in chips and a very nice chip lead. I then got the boot. My internet seemed to be fine but I couldn't get back ino. When I finally got back in 15 minutes later there was 4 people left and i was small stack with $1200 in chips with 100-200 blinds but went up again like a minute after I connected. They had beenplaying slow and stealing my chips while I was gone - not that I blame them. I tried to make a comeback but couldn't ended up out of the money and my streak done. Needless to say I wasn't very pleased. Before the connection problems I was set to cruise into a another top 2 finish, win atleast another 10 or 15 bucks plus be half way there to the $200 buck consoldation prize. Instead I end up getting no cash and my hopes at 5 in a row over...

Damn Comcast or maybe CD Poker. I'm not sure who to play here...

I've had two disconnects since August 2005 with Comcast. Very very frustrating but according to poker stars, two disconnects in 7 months is a great record.

i know that alot of sites here lately have been having all kinds of dissconnection problems but they could care less. titan i know has been having problems and being that cd,fair,noble ect. are all the same so i would say they all have it right now. hopefully they all get this fixed soon

I sent them an email b/c I wanted my $5 bucks back. I was so pissed b/c I had a very nice chip lead and would have cruised to a top 2 place and been on my way to the consolation prize. Ok I probably wouldn't have got it, but I sure would have like to try.

I lost $5 more bucks last night after my wireless went on me. I'm at a hotel and their wireless sucks so no more poker for me until I get home.

The worst site for disconnections has been poker4ever. I know this is a new site but I have had more problems there than all other sites combined. The last time it happened they actually paid everyone still playing in the tournament.

Just recently I had a problem at Titan. In fact I think it happened during the BBP freeroll. It was a little frustrating.

Poker.com had some problems a few months ago. When they upgraded in December I think they were able to resolve those issues. Recently they had a system upgrade and paid out all tourneys.

There are definitely some risks you take playing online. Not only do I have to worry about my own connection, there also can be problems at the site as well.
