Still get the odd hiccup here and there in Time Warner's localized segments with spikes breaking 100ms now and then (something we are still working on addressing), but otherwise responses are hovering around the 50ms mark and have smooth gameplay.

May be worth taking a look at your routes.

Hello Raist! You seem to be a bit of an expert on the subject judging from your other posts on this particular topic, I've of course ran a trace route but they each come back as request timed out, except for one or two. But what baffles me is that I don't get disconnected from other services or games in the same way. The only way I'll be booted off another game online is because my internet legitimately went down. If you could give any insight to this I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you and take care.
