I'm running a good computer with no known problems. Others have made the same complaints ( WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE ), but I have a slightly different take on this matter. While the problems seem the same mine started before the last big update ( Harvest ). I started playing just after the games full release, and everything was great. But I just changed ISPs last month and then started these problems. I was using Qwest @ 7.5 Mbps, but really it was 5 Mbps max, with the ping between 200ms to 500ms ( $45.00 a month ). Now I'm using fiber-optic ( also $45.00 a month ), wireless, I'm getting between 30-60 Mbps and 3-8 ms on the ping, and wired gets up to 95 Mbps. And this is when the problem started. I had both ISPs for about a week and a half, so I could test it out. And the game was more stable with full 3 bars always and no glitches with Qwest...? I think the problem is in the routers or router settings. Can anyone check this and reply. Its costing me plenty of CE and CR !!!
Player goes berserk and dies, booted from sever, and unexpected program closures.

I'm using speedtest.net to
I'm using speedtest.net to test with. And I'm in eastern Washington State. I've tried at all hours with varied results, that is why I said "between 30-60 Mbps and 3-8 ms on the ping, and wired gets up to 95 Mbps". Also, I only test against Seattle, WA. It is hosted by Comcast. I used the same site to test both ISPs. My current ISP is I-Fiber. And I should say that I have had it close the program just after login while it is loading Haven. Maybe it is a glitch? I don't know.
I guess I should also say I'm using Windows 7 and a Nvida GT220 with 1gig of DDR3 memory.

I can't find any reliable
I can't find any reliable information on the ISP aside from 1 BBB complaint filed against them..... Have you tried out any other games on the iFiber side?
Are you using a local speed test or one provided by the ISP? If you new ISP does traffic shaping or had a bunch of new installs due to advertising, theres a very good chance they oversold capacity and are getting hammered during peak hours. You can verify this by using an external speed test accessible to both ISPs and do a test during and off peak hours to see if theres a difference. The ping stat is also meaningless without context... would help to know where you are, and where the test server is located.
