Completely unable to play the game now

So this Verizon BS has gone from annoying to making my favorite game impossible to play. Last night I wanted to login and kill a little Borg, except when I tried the Launcher was completely unable to Launch the game.
When I'd click Login I'd see a blip where it normally shows a connection being made and then nothing.
This continued the entire night. So it seems that not only is it going to be slow sometimes and maybe have some lag and disconnection issues but completely be unusable.
When running Nettest it was apparent what was happening. The numbers showed a PING of over 1000+ ms and a throughput of around 10KB/sec with time outs on several ports completely.
I've heard people say well the way around it is to use VPN. Oh really? Is that the solution? Make my connection even more TRIBBLE to play the game? No sorry that's not a solution.
Complaining has no effect btw, as Verizon insists they are not doing anything, even when I suggested I could provide them with evidence of port throttling.
It's clear that Verizon does not care about their customers in the least, otherwise the complains registered thus far might have some effect. So it is now incumbent upon Cryptic to try and get this issue resolved.
Why you ask?
Because unlike any one of us individuals, Cryptic is in the unique position of actually making a difference. They can either go to Cogent and threaten them with moving their services or supplementing them, or they can bring other Tier one provider lines in.
In either case they are the only ones at this point who can make a difference, so it's time to see if Cryptic cares or if they are just like Verizon?
I love this game, it's my favorite game. I spend at least 6 to 8 hours every day playing it, and now there are days I can't even login. And the same goes for Neverwinter which I also love to play, completely useless.
I cannot even login to Neverwinter to Pray and get my ardent coin bonus, something that has to be done everyday.
Please Cryptic, be better and do what we cannot.
