I live in the UK and almost all of our telephone system is installed and maintained by a company called BT (British Telcom) and they use a lot of aluminium cabling between their junction cabinets and their exchanges. But other times I can at least start a video loading. But if I load an ordinary web page instead, it doesn't dis-connect/need to re-dial. When it finishes, I refresh FF, try to push play on the video, same thing happens. The phone lines dorectly outside my apartment were just checked and said to be working fine, but now I wonder: could a dial-up connection such as mine be affected by something like this?Īlso, there are times when it seems that AOL needs to re-connect in direct response to certain big web pages or videos, as in, you push play on a video, Firefox freezes up, the AOL re-dialing messasge box I described before appears. The fault was eventually tracked to a crack in a cable at the road-side junction box about 300 yards from my house. I have a broadband connection and about 18 months ago its performance dropped to nearly dial-up levels.

Also, I don't have a little box for AOL, I have AOL with dial-up- I plug the phone jack straight from my PC to a jack in the wall. I'm afraid I don't know how many kbs my modem is. And it seems that this also increases the likelihood of AOL re-dialing/disconnecting/signing off.

Same goes for if the same window of AOL is signed and connected for like a full day. I know that when other applications and folders are left open for a long time, Firefox can become very sluggish. This takes very long so I usually let it load overnight, but lately by morning AOL has disconnected, and it doesn't get to finish.

Also, my avast! antivirus needs to update to the latest version. They were already aggravating before, as my dial-up meant they take hours, but lately, if something takes more than an hour to download, it will most likely not get to finish because it will need to re-connect. The most annoying, though, are big downloads and loading online videos. However, if you press the red "X" on Firefox to stop a page from loading as soon as you see that box, it seems to really help decrease the chances that it won't finish dialing up. And sometimes, it doesn't get past the second step of dialing, it stays on it and then AOL signs off. Sometimes, a web page will say it cannot display, and then a little box will appear in the conrner of AOL, saying it's redialing, and it will have four steps of initializing, dialing, connecting and requesting network attention before it disappears. I have a Dell PC with XP and a dial-up internet conection with AOL, and my main browser is Firefox.įor the past year or so, AOL has been having an issue with re-dialing, disconnecting. I was sent to this section from the Malware Log Check section.
