    Seems like not everyone using NA data center is having this problem and the lodestone seems to say it has something to do with ISPs... So I suppose it's a routing problem? I'm notoriously bad at explaining what routing is so I won't begin to try except to that many USA ISPs use the same service(level3.net) to connect to that part of Canada, depending on what part of USA you are in. Much like you might have ATT for your cellular service but maybe some other carrier owns the cell tower that you happen to be near to. So maybe a moose is nibbling the wires?

    Out of curiosity, what ISPs do you guys have and what part of country are you in?

    I am unable to connect and I'm on Cox cable ISP in midwest.

    EDIT: Ok... it's definitely level3.net's fault I believe (again). But those of us that look into this probably weren't questioning this... I really wish ISPs would use another route to Canada for the sake of us that like online games...

    If you wanna test it yourself got to http://arrstatus.com/ and get your server's IP then open command prompt in windows and use command "tracert" with whatever you found your server IP to be. You'll soon have a list of how you connect to your server... With it all falling apart once "level3.net" comes up... :/ (At least that's what I saw).

    Few days ago I was on Verizon network until I dumped them and switched to AT&T for internet. I live in a rural area where I don't get unlimited internet sadly, so my only option is using hotspot with a mobile carrier. Both Verizon and AT&T was having issues when this all started.
    I'm on the east coast~
