This is now a DAILY problem, and SE chooses to run their company in this fashion, and approve of using an ISP running their NOC out of some third world sink hooked up to a braided telephone line and bathroom sink hooked up to a car battery for maximum reception.

It's really time they pulled their heads out of the clouds, and other more obvious places.
I strongly advise travelling to Ravana/OCE and doing your crafts..the ping is worse but not really noteworthy while crafting with your macros.
