This keeps happening, game loses connection

I've got a fair internet connection, and I'll be going through a mission without any significant amount of lag spikes or anything. However, the game will occasionally freeze up for a second, and then enemies will stop reacting and go through walls, players will stop moving, and chat becomes disabled. Nothing works, and so I surmise that the game has absolutely no connection to the game server. When I restart SK, I'll almost always find myself dead in the corner, including my emergency revive.

What causes this? Is there *anything* I can do? This is absolute bull**** when it happens to me during a Danger Mission, which has been where it happened 3 times so far (one of them right at the very last battle). I don't care about difficulty spikes, I don't care about grinding, I don't care about bullet spam, I don't care about freeze and shock cascading, I don't care about getting trapped by Trojans in the corner. This is the ultimate reason that makes me fume at this game, no amount of skill or gear can make up for this loss when all it takes is a single lost connection to completely spell doom to a mission.

Same here. I've tried to do deep inspection to see if it was something on my side, but noticed something strange. The servers weren't reading my client's packets while the server continued to send packets. I'd have enemies and players coordinates updated, but the server would reject my packets and shortly thereafter disconnect me. This is while every other multiplayer game works fine and I can browse the internet during this issue. Some ISP not controlled by OOO might be having bottlenecks possibly.
