    temporary fix for this issue

    I have had a version of this off and on for 2 years all. Basically your ISP is routing your connection from your house, to the servers in Canada, using a canoe with holes in it. Hence you get crap connection and really bad latency (20 seconds +) or can't connect. Use WTFast, which has a 2 week free trial if you have not used it before. SE can't really fix it, they can only yell at the 3rd party vendors passing our data back and forth who are messing things up.

    It works. You should all complain to your ISP to get a credit to pay for the service since they won't pay someone to properly do the service we are paying for.

    Interestingly I've never had different or improved results using wtfast; in the past when I have had connection issues on 14 it has never been related to my ISP (even when SE has said it was an overall ISP issue, or when Level 3 was a supposed culprit). Most of the players that have ISP side problems in 14 have Comcast, which I don't. When I have issues during the same time the Comcast customers do it is generally indicative of larger issues. That's not to say it can't be a Level 3 issue, since as someone else mentioned, a huge portion of ISPs in the US route through them; but if it were Level 3 issues wtfast should always solve the issue, and for me it never has.
