I've been getting 20002 for the past 2 hours straight, I can't get anywhere near through the queue.

Don't tell me it's my network either - I have 350 MBPs or higher consistently and suffer no latency issues.

When they say it's not them, and its your end...they don't mean your internet speed specifically but how the provider is routed to reach their servers.

this is sad. I wish they would actually do something about this issue

Okay...like what are they not doing? What specifically in your expertise in IT is it that they aren't doing that is definitely within their grasp?

Based on what we've learned about the queue system, its design needed to be fundamentally revisited in anticipation of being bombarded with completely unprecedented numbers of users.

A large portion of what is frustrating people is a software problem which is actually strictly within SE's domain to fix. The problem is that it is something that may need time to address, and should have been fixed well ahead of time, rather than SE taking a gamble.
