Connection Issues?

[RiversideGuy]

Is anyone seeing an uptick in loosing connection in the past few weeks (more than usual)? I seem to be seeing a fair number of disconnections (5-6 in one day a few days ago). about 70% of the time when I try and re-log in, I get a lobby error, kinda indicating its an issue with the SE server farm.

Only posting because up until a few weeks ago I never had any loss of connection. Doesn't bode well for a major xpac launch in several weeks.

Hmmm, what prompted this must be a rather large meltdown, in a queue of 1054 when it's typically 20-50.

It's their internet provider:

Hopefully this means they'll have the opportunity to develop fresh countermeasures for the cause before the launch.

When I saw that queue length I knew it was a specific significant issue, but I am also concerned that I seem to be seeing a lot more DCs for me than, say, 4 months ago when they were nonexistent.

Sympathies. Seasonal conditions often degrade the reliability of older (not fiber optic) internet connections.
