Not talking about now, but way back when they blamed it on people's ISP, the connection has not been exactly stable and I seen others having problems.
For a while there were ISP issues when a main transfer line used by Level3 (the main Internet backbone leading up to where the servers are in Canada) was accidentally severed by a construction company. Because of this you couldn't get to the game servers but you could get to everything else. Imagine it like someone had closed down the only road to get somewhere... Well, all the other roads are still open, so you can get to other places, you just can't get to that one place you really want to go.
