Question BT Anytime 10 min disconnect why ?

I use BT Anytime & Home Highway. Now i knew when i signed up that i would get booted off after 2 hours continuous use, which i'm willing to accept, however i have been finding that I have been getting disconnected even when i believe the system is in use, for example when writing posts like this one, or on other internet forums which i frequent, I press the 'submit' or 'post new topic' button etc only to find that if i have taken a bit of time to write my piece my dial up thingy springs into life as i've been disconnected, and i have to reconnect. Does anybody else use the same ISP as me, and do you get the same probs ? are there any settings i can adjust on my system to prevent this from happening. It is not a major issue as i can connect as many times as i want with anytime it is just a bit annoying.It seems to me that if i am not using my mouse clicking on things or surfing every 10 minutes this happens.I would have thought that writing something on a forum such as what i'm doing right now would be classed by my computer/ISP as being 'in use' Thanks for any replies in advance.
