Random Disconnects

Over the last hour or so, I have experienced multiple disconnects
for no apparent reason. I have not changed my own configuration
and do not think the problem is on my end.

Has anyone else recently experienced a higher then normal rate of unexplained disconnects?

Do you have any idea of the cause or what I might do to decrease the disconnect frequency?

If enough ppl are experiencing this then it is more likely a server issue for technical support.

I know my own provider does this to its customers purposely, in fact they are being sued by the federal government for doing so, mostly because they intentionally slow or drop Netflix and Hulu.

I had a random disconnect in ROM just the other day. Pretty long one, too, could not get back online for almost 7 days. Turned out the source was a power outage in my area. Who knew ROM needed that?

In game... the usual. Crashes once in a while, but no unexpected disconnects. May they be caused by the game activity or location perhaps, or other networking on the PC, or are they truly random?

A tracert to the servers can help show if there are any problems along the way. Won't catch everything obviously, but it can show if there is a routing issue or an ISP being less than helpful.

Overheating can also cause lots of crashing in a short period of time.

I've been getting exponentially more d/c recently and some of them aren't even the usual crash-to-error-report thing, it's just a straight, no questions asked disconnect right back to desktop. I did a few troubleshooting programs like the cisco pakettracer, colasoft, and wildpackets, all said pretty mcuh the same thing: best I can determine is their servers are failing to return critical packets and so the program attempts a new packet ping and their server blocks it due to multiple requests for whatever reason.
