Aether Data Center Not allowing Me to Connect

[Nekodar]

I beg to differ that it's not SE's problem. If it was an ISP problem one ISP would be effected (Comcast for example) not multiple ISP's across the country. And if it is because there's only one route to the server then it is SE's fault for not distributing the servers more widely rather than having them centralized.

There ARE multiple routes to the servers.
YOUR ISP just happens to route everything through the one that is affected.

There are plenty of european and american players that are completely unaffected playing on Aether right now.

So you're telling me MY ISP's main competitors are ALL using the SAME ROUTE? That's what you're telling me gotcha so how is it not SE's problem then?

Bug your ISP to bug the backbone providers if you want this to be fixed faster.
It's not an SE problem.

Irrelevant. Even if it's not "their fault", it shouldn't be up to the playerbase to have to dig up the root causes of the issue, SE should at the very least be on top of this and explaining exactly what's going on and what steps are being made to correct the problem. As a paying customer I believe it's within my rights to receive prompt updates when faced with interruption of service, I'm not asking for free sub time or in game items or anything, I just want to be updated on the situation in a timely manner instead of over half a day later still having to research elsewhere to get a picture of the situation.

It's a backbone provider issue. Even if you don't know what that means, it's not a problem SE can fix.

I was told that this "route Level3" by Comcast that it was an item that is on SE's end.

----
They stated it was a gaming server on SE's end.

There have been others in this thread pointing out what the problem is. Pointing finger at SE is useless for this issue.

13 hours later, still cant log on. This is getting ridiculous.

[Drox]

I'm using TWC and I'm assuming comcast is also effected. So besides those two, how many other ISP's are the "issue"? Since it seems we're gonna deflect blame from SE for this. lol
