hey maus, we r all still here. go to the website below. it has all the info u need on the aa.com server. this will be updated periodically to reflect changes..
I've been having ping probs too. I don't know what's up all the sudden except that there were no problems with the previous server. I did notice, though, that I was having probs with DOA's server as well. I think the only thing I've left to do is switch to DSL since nothing else seems to have fixed it.
BTW, I'm in MA and currently have cable. Until recently there were no issues. But there is one thing of note you all might be interested in. About a month ago I read a news article regarding Cable Co's fighting file-sharing with bandwidth limitations and my provider was one of those working on that fight. If I can locate the article I'll post it here, but it's something to consider if you're having issues with cable.
