Error [2002] the lobby server connection has encountered an error

[vitamin_w]

Yet another player on Verizon FIOS from Denton who cannot log on. I was getting the error this morning, went up to campus (UNT) and was able to log in and play for a bit from my computer in the lab in between doing work. Came home, finished my work, figured the bug must have been finally fixed and all, only to find out it is friggin Verizon's fault. YouTube has been acting up for me too, today, so maybe that's related to the same gateway being down.

I hate their service today, and naturally since I'm in an apartment, I don't have other options.

Does Charter not service your complex? It does with mine, and I'd like to know if anyone with that ISP is experiencing these problems. I had massive lag issues with FiOS after patch 2.1 launched and if this ISP is going to give me continued headaches, I may just up and switch despite getting a decent deal on fast speeds.

I'll have to check again. When we moved in they said FIOS or nothing, but that may have changed or they may have been wrong. I've been considering upping to Quantum for the extra $10 a month, but with this crap happening, you may be right that Charter would be a better bet.

Wait I have to pay for a one time password?!

You shouldn't have to. You can just activate the two-step authentication on your account and then download the SE authenticator app on your smartphone if you have one. Then you just run that app every time you need to log in. That's what I do, and it gives me no grief about logging in on two different PCs on two different networks regularly.

May as well jump on the Verizon dog pile

DFW - Verizon Fios
Excalibur

Server error starting on 2/24

Also with Verizon in DFW. This is the second day that this has been happening for me.

EDIT: just installed spotflux and it let me log in. This is a little ridiculous.

So if I install this spotflux, if/when the issue finally gets fixed, do I just uninstall? Sorry, if that seems self explanatory...

Also, Verizon has a huge monopoly over a large portion of the DFW area. I can't even get DISH at my complex... Verizon or bust.
