I did a little research on this. This is an internet issue and not a server issue. Yesterday response time and packet loss for all of north america spiked and hasnt come back down yet.

Nice job of investigation! It looks like the problems are subsiding too!

Weird. I was trying to play and within the first half hour I hit several lag spikes, got booted 4 times, and now Reflections dows not even show on my list. Others are still in the game so I know it is still up. I will stand by and cross my fingers.
