When logging into SL nothing is wrong, but after a few seconds or minutes, time varies, my avatar freezes in place if I was not moving or continues walking forever if I was moving. The avatar can still turn and chat and to others will still continue to move as though nothing were wrong, until SL disconnects. Objects in SL will also stop loading when the freeze kicks in.
The interesting thing behind this is that I have been able to test this on three different network. At my apartment, where I have Cox Cable, this problem happens almost instantly and I'm usually only able to be on for 15 seconds before it kicks me off, this also happends on my girlfriend's laptop. At a friend's house, with Cavalier Cable, it also happends, but as long as I keep moving or teleporting once I freeze I can keep it going for much longer, but it will eventually disconnect. At my parent's house, where they have Verizon fiberoptic there are no problems with this or any other part of SL (Only problem being I am almost never there).
I'll also point out that before January the apartment did not have Cox Cable, but had another providers, which I can't recall, but before January I had no problems with SL.
I am convinced that these two providers have done something withtheir networks that stop SL from working, I just need to know if anyone else if having problems with their avs/SL like this or if it works one place and has these problems other places.
If people are having these problems with their providers, I'm hoping that maybe the Lindens will sit down for a talk with them...
