Firstly; you should call your ISP and ask them if there are currently any problems with the network.

Secondly; if you know how, you should probably make an exception for TCP port 6112 in your firewall. This port has been known to cause issues such as lag, disconnections, characters moving around in an odd way, that sort of stuff.

It may not even be the connection, please post your complete systems specs here as we can determine an awful lot with that. I was getting freezing because I had my computer overclocked a bit much.
