Hello,

Over the past week or two I have been experiencing disconnects from EvE online. When this happens, I am also unable to access the forums. During these times other internet usage seemed to remain unchanged.

Just now I had an outage that lasted just under 2 hours. I've had periodic disconnects (30-60 secons) and strings of outages (few hours) for about a week or two now. Here is a recent tracert during an outage:

Astound.net is my isp.


During this last outage I decide to run a ping www.eveonline.com -t, too:


Ping statistics for 87.237.39.180:
Packets: Sent = 693, Received = 13, Lost = 680 (98% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 151ms, Maximum = 192ms, Average = 164ms
Control-C

Once I saw replies I cancelled the ping. It was a constant "Request timed out." until the issue ended.


A quick google search showed that this isn't the first time there existed this type of an issue with above.net and EvE online.
