Finally logged in and didn't get disconnected for a few hours. It seems like it tries one connection that is a dead end, but then after a few tries it finds one that is okay.
Skuzzy, did any of the port settings change?
I have bonded DSL with a modem/router made by ZyXEL all provided to me by Frontier Communications. Bonded DSL was new to my area last year and am now running about 8 times faster than my older DSL setup. I am in a small city northwest of NY City but we do not yet have residential fiberoptics service. My choices for broadband are either DSL or Time-Warner as an Internet gaming service. I am hard wired in, I turned off my wireless.
A couple of times I had no Internet service at all. So a phone call to their High Speed Internet troubleshooting line. I found my router needs to be recycled once in awhile by pushing the on/off button off for a minute, then it resets itself turning it back on. Whenever I start getting flukey on my end I shut down my PC and turn off my DSL router for a minute and start over and usually that solves it.
Some guys will also do a defrag, too before hopping onto a gaming server; I do sometimes.
On another game I frequent that uses other people's servers, but not LAN, guys' PCs, and some dedicated routers, all over the world, I find I will get better ping rates and I suspect probably a different trace route to their servers by just rerunning their server search utility. I do not think AH has this type of function. But maybe just restarting my PC and setting my game stuff back up may find a different route to Texas.
I am not currently having an issue such as yours, but this weird thing did happen the other day:
