Post by Peter T.ADSL and cable Modems are usually built to last 4-5 years before they're
worn out.
I forgot to mention it CAN be remnants from a DDoS attacks or similar
somewhere on your route between your computer and your realm's server.
I sit in Copenhagen, Denmark, and my realm is placed in Paris, France.
Until recently I had random DCs and sometimes it lasted for several minutes.
My internet connection was fine and stable so I did a Tracert to my
realm and saw my line to Paris stopped somewhere in Germany (more
exactly around a hub near Dusseldorf or Frankfurt as far as I remember).
Afaik the raid/dungeon servers are placed outside London and I cant
remember the last time I've experienced DCs in raids or dungeons unless
the so-called world server went down and kicked everybody off. Only
when I was PvE'ing on the realm server in Paris...
