Connection Problems - Online Poker Forum and Casino Community

have you? · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 12:39 AM

Carbon Poker (and all the other poker sites in their networks) released an update a short while ago. Ever since this time I have been having connection problems. For instance, I will hit my button such as 'Bet' or 'Fold' and my time keeps running out as if I did nothing at all. Now today it is even worse. I am getting completely disconnected from my games and my 'green status' light goes to empty, EVEN THOUGH other poker software and Internet Explorer windows continue to operate. I have Comcast High Speed (very high speed) broadband internet and I know that I am not using all my bandwidth. So after sending 3 emails to Carbon Poker and getting nothing but automated responses, I would like to know is anyone else having these problems? I have the same issues if I am playing on Poker.com or even Wasspoker.com. Usually I must say that Carbon Poker's Support is very timely in their responses but not on this time.
If anyone else is having these problems or knows what is causing these problems, please let me know. My opinion is that they are having software issues because almost everyday I am getting updated when I open the poker program. But I would like to know for sure if it is just me OR something else.
Thank you

Having the same issues myself and have also seen folks discussing it at the tables. Its on their end (merge network) and I would think they are working on. Would also guess they are being flooded with inquiries so that might be why they haven't gotten back to you just yet. When a person is behind in the hand and those cards are taking awhile to flip ~ it seems like an eternity

Well I'm glad to hear that the probem has been seen/experienced by someone else. I was beginning to think I had a problem on my home network.
Today I have had no problems yet and I have been playing for a few hours.
I hope they have the problem fixed.

Thanks for your response
