Terminal Poker has to be the worst online poker site.Connection is awful keeps saying" connection seems slow please wait"If it is does connect there will be a message saying connection problem restart after a minute or so.I only have a dial up connection but there is no problem with any other poker site(Fulltilt, Pokerstars etc.)

Havent heard of this poker site before. since you have accounts in sites like FT and Poker stars what are you doing there anyways? Bigger sites are always safer to play ( lately im starting to have some doubts about FT)

I play on Terminal a lot lately and I do agree, that message come out way too often and lasts way too long. I always figured it was a combination of my cruddy bandwidth and playing multiple sites but if others are experiencing this as well, maybe it is just them.

never played there but its a small site with limited player base and might be struggling to maintain their server properly. best thing is to stick to big sites with better software.

Cmon guys we need to give them a chance. If online poker was only pokerstars and fulltilt iam sure it would be less fun. They are small and its normal that they have these kind of problems. I odnt like to think about only 1 or 2 companys making the monopoly of the business, thats why iam sad with all of these problems caused by the black friday.

I won a lot of money in starting poker houses, big promotions, good freerolls with not much people. It's only good for us that a lot of new poker houses try to catch us. Monopolys make them gready and leave us less choice. Where can I find that terminal poker ?

This is probably the problem. To be fair (on terminal) what does their web site state as the minimum connection requirements.. Just because your dial-up works with stars/ftp that's no guarantee it is going to work with every poker site.. Smaller ones probably can't afford the types of flashy servers the big sites have...

Also - it matters WHERE you are connecting to.. FTP/Stars probably have a lot more server locations, giving greater globably connectivity.. A smaller room quite possibly requires your connection to span more distance.
let's face it,the only reason most of us would play there is cos we had free $ there, other than that,noone sane will deposit there when we are spoilt for choices with the number of "okay" quality rooms around.

I played at Terminal Poker since a few month´s and i had never problems with the connection. Now they have Freerolls and more Player´s. And it´s easy to clear the Bonus requirements. And the withdraw was fast and without problem´s (minimum 50€ ) . Give them a chance!
