Getting real tired of the constant disconnects

It seems like these days 9 out of 10 times you transfer maps, you get disconnected from the servers. What the hell is going on?

(This was initially a much longer post.)
I have experienced an uptick in disconnects earlier today while the rest of the internet was behaving rather well. Though, as you indicated, mileage may vary.
I didn't used to get disconnects this frequently, it's only been over the past couple of months and the rate has skyrocketed, especially with the Risa event.
considering nothing else has changed, I'm highly skeptical that it's anything to do with ISPs, and much more likely a problem with their servers not being able to handle the current player load.
Rubberbanding everywhere, server derps in general and I'm on Xbox which is less busy.
Neverwinter does it too.
It's been this way since the new bosses rolled in.
And disconnected, not transferred to the map on relog, and now transwarp is on cooldown.
You are lucky then; I get dumped almost four out of five map transfers.
Same here. I am noticing more disconnects that before and nothing has changed with my LAN or ISP.

I highly doubt that it is the engine, it seems more likely that it is the way their networks settings are set and possibly database issues delaying parts of the information transfer until it times out. Also, there is the CDN issue that has been going on in the US (and probably other parts of the world) for a while where for example things like packets entering or leaving Akami can be subject to relatively large delays which also cause timeouts that lead to getting dumped.
It is not an easy fix, ESO was having extreme problems with a similar issue for a while and only got it fixed in the last few years for instance (and it is starting to rear its ugly head again since the last big update). Fixing them is usually an ongoing problem since they tend to come back (like the ESO example).
Pretty much the same thing happened to me, but during the Horga'hn Hunt. I got the favors (I think), but it didn't count for the daily progress, so I had to do Flying High afterwards to get that done.
Doing episodes to level a new character last night and in some of them you have to map transition 4-5 times in a single mission, and I would get disconnected every single time.
That is mostly what happens to me too, drops during play rather than map changes have been very rare though they have increased somewhat lately, including the weird behavior that was similar to what davefenestrator mentioned.
And yea, traceroute shows that akamaiedge address, and the trace/pings are timing out.
Get your TRIBBLE together guys.
Ehm, hadn't maintenance already started when you wrote that?
