Any plans to address severe server issues?

I have had 0 connection problems for the last couple of months, aside from a couple of hickups that were purely due to my choice of routing.
Yes, I use a VPN.
I am an Aussie.. And I play on the NA servers.

The problems are really not with SE servers, but are with the route between your home and the SE servers.
You have to realise that if you are having problems but some others aren't, then the problem area is likely somewhere between your own house and the destination - not the destination itself..
If it was the destination, absolutely everyone would be affected, because it is the only common denominator here..

Not everyone drives the same way to work as you do.
If there is a crash on the highway on your route to work, doesn't mean your work building is collapsing.
