Thought it might be an issue with the Main so I was practicing in the training arena. "Host Connection Lost" 5 times in 10 minutes. Clear netstatus from here. Ugh!

In Main, very warpy cons, +/-1.2k on some cons! Maddening!

This just me and Verizon or is anyone else getting punted frequently?

Same here, I either get the host lost connection message or I sit in the tower unable to access the hanger or other clipboard functions.

When I do manage to play it's warp factor 9 even though the net status graph shows a flat line.

Not here...56k here in the sticks.
(I really mean in the sticks too....hell, they don't even pump water out this far.)

I had that problem - some kind of routing issue somewhere down the mediaone line.

After dealing with their insane technical support (which, in spite of my proof of it being their fault) insisted I

1. Power down all machines on my network.
2. Power down the hub, and unplug all RJ-45
3. Power down the cable modem, disconnect RJ-45 and COAX and wait 45 seconds.
4. Start it all up again

I almost wanted to kill them. I finally got an email from a tech higher up on the food chain saying I didn't have to deal with their cust. service and that my problem had been 'escalated'.

1 day and about 15 hours later - problem solved.

S!

Yes on Friday I got dumped out twice. Once in big boot which seemed to get everyone, then again about 15 minutes after the MA came up again. At that point I called it quits.

Since the new server, LJKBear1 has been disconnected over and over and over and over... it is painful to watch - he can hardly get a sortie in. 55 times this tour.

Hi there,

I have continual disco's in both the MA and TA. It seems to average 2 or 3 a night before I give up in desgust and log off. I generally don't get to play much any more. This started abpout the time the server was "upgraded" to handle more than 200. Since then it's only gotten worse. Warps are FAR worse than ever and I am on DSL here with a 640k connection. It's rock steady for everything except AH.
