This ALWAYS happens for me right after a major patch. Either I get 90k or 2002 bombed. I just want to know when the next hotfix is that will fix this...

There likely won't be one... it's been documented to be issues with flow control along the routes to Montreal, which is out of their hands and falls more under the purview of your ISP's Tier3 staff and NOC Admins to address. Granted, there have been capacity issues at SE's server/network levels and it could come into play on something like a legacy server if they are nearing capacity once more... but that was a long time ago when that was an issue and they've ramped things up considerably since then and they've been dogmatic about restricting transfers and new characters since then so capacity shouldn't be an issue again yet.

There is plenty of data out there pointing at issues along our routes. Many have resolved it by using VPN services to switch to cleaner routes and it solved their issues, while others have worked with their ISP's to pair them with alternate routes or different routing partners that have also resolved their issues. Until you can verify your routing is clean, you cannot rule it out as at least a big contributing factor. If it were solely an issue on SE's end, the forums would likely be crashing from the flood of complaints, which it clearly is not.

I see what you're saying and I have taken steps through my ISP to ensure my connection to the data centers and it has worked. But these 90k and 2002 issues of mine still persist and occur only after a new patch releases and subsequently resolves after the hotfix that usually accompanies a new patch. I don't even play as often as I used to so it's especially frustrating that when I do play stuff like this happens.
