Random disconnects (Error 90002)

I deal with the same issues and from what I can tell its a combination of bad routing and incompetent design. The way it seems to work is if you get any packet loss the server instantly drops your connection. Basically there is no buffer. Most online games / services you won't even notice a couple of packets failing to travel because they are designed by people who understand the imperfect nature of networks and that packet loss happens, either due to bad nodes or a hiccup in the actual network connection. It also seems like this issue gets worse the heavier the load is on the servers. Say 2 years ago I didn't have any of these issues with the exact same connection at the exact same location. Ever since the game started getting regular queues the 90k errors have gotten more frequent and ultimately became unbearable with the release of the expansion and 10k people queues on the EU.

Honestly the best advice I can give you is to buy a VPN if you really want to play and pray. I'm sure most of them offer a money back guarantee. I will never pay for a VPN to play this game personally as I don't deem it worth it, but its worth a shot. Since it seems to be a routing issue combined with idiotic zero tolerance for packet loss in an online service SE has implemented.

VPN didn't seem to have solved it. I tried the ones people usually recommend. In fact I was getting latency issues.

VPNs are hit or miss with problems like these.
