Ironically, It doesn't appear to be a wide spread problem... so, there's a very high probability you've got a problem on the local end... That would be something either with your machine, your internet provider, or the method by which you connect to the server, or all of the above. Look into "polling", that when a provider puts you in a queue when demand for bandwidth gets high. If they keep you in the queue long enough, you time out on the server. Make sure you haven't capped in your bandwidth capacity for your account and the provider is throttling you. Make sure they're not using a proxy, or you're not using a proxy. Make sure others on you home network aren't taking up all the bandwidth. Do speedtests at the time you experience the problem to determine if it is a local problem or not. Try something like speedtest.net which is free. Make sure you click the right button... as sometimes it looks like you should click on the AD instead. And then last, if your machine is too old, it won't be able to handle the traffic, or you're using a lousy browser. So, try both IE, and Chrome at least two or three browsers.
