Not that I know of. Other players across the country were reporting botched connections as well (against other players, not solely against me). Unless all of our ISPs decided to screw us over in synchronized fashion, that is.
More like that a certain regions nodes are fucked and it's causing problems for all the inbetween. That happens a lot.
If it is an issue with netcode though, there's likely some common link you guys are sharing that doesn't apply to the rest of us. I still doubt that's the case though.
