Crashing when trying to connect to servers

[Magerin]

Anyone else having an endless stream of connection issues? I believe this falls outside of my ISP issue. I did a trace route to see where the problem happens... Here is what I got

Tracing route to login.eqemulator.net [144.121.19.169]

Any way to fix this? Ive done a DNS flush to see if there is a better path open but this ends up in the cache everytime. It appears the first 5 to 8 hops are nearest to my IPS (or my device) and fall under them.
