Ea Games Ask You To Contact Your Isp To Play Battlefield. Wow.
I was having a problem with my Internet connection a week ago. It would go off, but both the modem and router said it was on. I first called the manufacturer of the router, who guided me through some steps, and we came to the conclusion it was the modem. I noticed it happened more often when I started my new game Battlefield so I called EA Games, and they told me to open ports.
Then I called my ISP.
Tech Support: "How may I help you today?"
Me: "Hi, I was wondering if you could open some ports on my connection. I need them open for this game I have, and I've opened them on my end, but the game says that you should also open your end as well."
Tech Support: "So you want to stick your game into the modem?"
Me: "No, I want you to open some ports so I can play the game."
Tech Support: "Sir, you cannot stick a game into your modem, you need a computer to stick the game into"
Me: "Ummm, I don't want to stick the game into my modem, I want you to O-P-E-N P-O-R-T-S!!!"
Tech Support: "There's a cdrom drive on your computer. If you press the button that is next to or says cdrom drive a thing that looks like a cup holder will come out. Stick your game"
Me: $!"
Some shuffling sounds on their end. Supervisor: "Hello sir."
Me: "Would it be possible for you to open some ports on my internet connection so I can play a game. I've already done it on the router I have."
Supervisor: "Sir, you cannot put a game into your modem. It doesn't work."
Me: $!"
So then I called the company's business center, and I was told that opening ports would cost a LOT of money.
I called tech support again, and finally got routed to their site in Texas. I told him my problem with the modem and ports and relayed to him the story. After laughing and apologizing, he told me (after I gave him the modem model number) that my modem was out of date.
The new modem took five minutes to configure, and it worked fine.
