Bizarre technical oddity

    So I've been playing a lot less SC2 lately and thats mostly down to this weird technical hiccup I've developed.

    I thought it was a general issue but it's actually exclusive to SC2 it seems.

    Normally every now and then my BT (in the UK) router and PC get into a funk with each other and I get a yellow * over my signal icon and cant access to internet. It happens once a blue moon every now and then, sometimes not for days, sometimes within minutes of each other.

    Except with Starcraft 2, where it happens every time. I've not been able to complete a game in months because every time I play I get disconnected after 5-20 minutes. It sounds bizarre that SC2 alone seems to cause this, but it doesnt happen with any my other games but it always happens with starcraft 2.

    I have no idea why though.

    anyone ever experience something like this?

    I used to get this with WC3. It was a major pain in the ass and to make it worse it took MOOOOOOOOOOOOOONTHS to find out what it was. For me, the phone line was interrupting the internet/ports for SC2 BIG TIME. Because I'm ignorant at that **** I rang up my ISP and they changed some settings and stuff and it was fixed. Literally any time something went through my phone line I got DC'd. Phone calls, messages, etc! Check it out.
