  I am often getting a message - your internet connection is corrupted and restart - meaning, that I often have to give up a game in the middle.

  My internetspeed is always 60 mbit/s and I do not understand.

  I tend to give WGT up, because it must be problems with WGT.

  I enjoy to play when things a ok, but this is to much now.

  any comments on this.

  #1 Try a different browser .Many players use either Maxthon Cloud or and older version of Maxthon . You can Google "Best browsers" and get a list of browses to try .As you know browsers are hit and miss due to system compatability .

  #2 Try a different anti virus software . I use AVG you can get a free version download through C/NET . Also try the free version of Advanced System Care which you can also get through C/Net .

  Sometimes the problems are other software malfunctions which may be caused by improperly installed updates or non compatible software . So give those options a try and see if you get better results . Hope this helps . :-)

  I get this message often (and I use Maxthon). It's a minor annoyance.

  Usually, just clicking "retry" solves it.

  When it doesn't, I exit the game, exit the browser and re-enter. This doesn't take long, and you still have plenty of time to continue the game before the clock runs out.

  My Internet speed is 3 mbps. I only rarely have connection issues.

  Your Internet speed has little to do with it, so you're right - you apparently do not understand the fundamentals of how the Internet works.

  Your computer is not directly connected to WGT.

  There are intermediate connections involved, including nodes on each side of the Atlantic ocean that connect to the undersea cable that goes from the east coast of the USA to Europe.

  How to use the Traceroute command. Note however that using Traceroute only shows you the route 1 packet of data tool from your computer to WGT and not the route from WGT to you. Not all data packets take the same route through the myriad Internet paths.

  That is what makes the Internet possible. It is a network of distributed networks that use packet switching.

  You also have to consider Internet routing and service tiers.

  The bottom line is the only part of the Internet you have any control over is the condition of your computer.

  Keep your computer in good shape by making sure you routinely get rid of junk files (system level and browser level), keep the system Registry cleaned up and minimize the number applications on your computer that start up when you turn your computer on.
