Re: Trouble Downloading Music with Wireless Internet
i guess there are others that use alltel wireless that are having the same problems....here is a post that someone wrote that is almost exactly the same symptoms that i am having.....
I'm experiencing an issue with downloading files; not necessarily all files, but those that are, say, 20mb or larger. The download will start normally, run a couple minutes, then just stop. It does not always happen at the same time - it may run 1 minute or 10 minutes, but most often happens around 2-3 minutes time. Sometimes I can resume the transfer and it will run another 2-3 minutes, sometimes it won't resume. It's almost as if I got disconnected for a split-second, but the line never drops during that time.
It is NOT the browser - I normally use Opera, but tried Firefox and IE with the same results. . I know they are messing with the Alltel/Verizon stuff - maybe some kind of download limit testing? Maybe tower resets, I don't know. The phone/modem doesn't reset, and when the download stops, I can still use internet with no problem, so it isn't going dormant. It seems to happen at most any time or day or night - there is no specific pattern I can find. Small files that can download in <2 minutes are never a problem; beyond that - good luck. It happens on downloads, video streams - anything that requires longer download times.
