My Guild wars cut off in a mission then couldn't load back up. Now I can't connect to Arenanet at the start. Anyone else having this problem?

I am having the same problem had it once b 4 aswell cant login cant access any offical GW websites either its like ive been banned from that ip range so a followup on what peoples isp's are would b handy case i know the ban isnt at GW's end to see if its a certain isp thats doin the throttling.

BTW i'm BT for isp.

Well i done a tracert from my cmd box and cant get past any bt servers but if i do an online tracert i can get a ping from any GW servers so all i guess is that bt are throttling access to GW servers for everyone, will try giving them a call and get back to u's with what they say.

Well gave bt a call not much help there all they told me was they dont have the ability to ban an ip range so it would be of great help if someone could give me the technical support email address for GW seein as i cant access there website for it to see if the problem is there.

Have been in contact with BT as im also having the same problem.
My opinion of their support is very poor as they couldnt even get past thier own firewall to check www.guildwars.com or any other plaync site. .
They admitted a fault and have escalated the problem to a team who can deal with it. Lets hope the sort it soon I NEED MY FIX:

Well I managed to talk to BT and GW about although at the time nobody would take responsibility for it in hopes that it would resolve itself which thankfully it did but this has happened once b 4 to me a few weeks ago and took 4 days b 4 it resolved itself I was just lucky it was only a few hours this time.

But I will add that GW said that it was most likely congestion on the routing to GW from our computers and through the BT network, so all i can say is that I hope for anyone still facing this problem that with a little patience it may work itself out.

How many of you BT customers have home hubs? I do and I was experiencing this problem again last night, I simply switched the hub off and on again at the wall and was able to play again.

New backbone filters were released last week, It looks like BT could have updated theirs. If a restart of the hub doesn't work contact BT and ask them to roll back the filters.

Good luck with that one....
