Bump. Went into game today and, as is the case fairly often during my ISP's peak times, my ping is way high and jumping around (200-400). That said, I still have the original issue where I get connection problems every ~10 minutes for about 5-10 seconds. I rarely lose connection completely but it's obviously a big inconvenience (especially when flying).
Something to note: These issues only started after I got an upgrade in my internet package with my ISP. They gave me fibre optic and provided a new router which could be the cause of the problem. Also, I used to ping around 120 on this "new" server (not the old Virginia server where I pinged 90-120). Luose and a couple of other UK players I've seen currently ping 120 to 130 - they're all with different ISPs. My average ping when I have the best/most stable connection of the week is around 165-185.
Here's a tracert. Any idea what could be causing my problems? FYI, I use a wireless connection and play within 10 feet of the router (which is just the other side of a fairly thin wall).
