This is also in spite of the relative's house being closer to the data center than my house.

It is definitely a connection thing. Thousands of people are trying to cram into the pipe at the same time. When there's this many people trying to do the same thing, those who can maintain a stable, fast connection themselves will naturally win out over those who have an unstable or slower connection.

Sorry. All I can say is keep trying or wait a week.
2002's are connection related, but not solely on our side. They can likely be made worse by a poor connection, but it is not the only cause. The server lacks adequate error correction and due to load is likely *itself* dropping packets.

I receive 5-7 2002's per 6-7k queue. Given how many are reported by my sibling in the same location, as well as friends in other locations spread across the country, I have reason to believe this is consistent. I also believe the forum white knights are drastically deflating the actual number of 2002's they're getting in reality. The VPN on my work laptop, (which is connected wirelessly while my desktop gaming PC is connected hardwired) has been connected for 6 days straight with zero errors and zero dropped packets - and the consecutive pings I've run to other locations while getting dropped from the queue reflect the same.

I'm not 'the god of networking', but I've also done enough network support in my life to know full well this problem is not on my side.
