That's interesting, because I'm in Utah as well and last night was the first time I experienced any sort of issues since the first report. Galdace, what ISP do you have? I'm on Comcast - if you are as well then I don't think it's an ISP problem since it seems like our experiences are polar opposites.
Previously I had been playing pretty exclusively in Ascent/Sol Ro, but last night was the 2nd of 2 nights I was leveling some new toons. It was pretty much when I was done playing anyway so I didn't try to log back on. I suppose I should have done a tracert to see if anything useful could be gleamed. Perhaps that would be helpful in diagnosing if this is a routing issue?
