I Found this video...i set it to 3% negative to my download speed (in QoS quality of service in my router) . it didn't fix the issue but still tinkering with it. my bufferbloat was a F on the rating scale.

this is the site to test connection and bufferbloat

UPDATE : So I got messed with it for a good while and got my bufferbloat to a C Instead of F and it did not fix the issue.
aside from this bufferbloat strat
I normally would be able to log in around 12 EST...it wont let me. to where it would other days.
took me about 15 log in attempts to get servers to show. zoning is painfully slow and 75% It crashes. =/
I also setup WinEQ hoping it could fix the crashing issue so i could just leave my game running and not risk zone crashing and not being able to log in...there is no lag when im logged into game, during hours that i normally wouldn't be able to connect, accept for the zoning issue seemed to worsen the last few days.
wineq2 and buffer bloat not fixing issue.

I am still wondering if VPN would fix this issue. Or i am also wondering if there are alternet ways to connect to project 1999 maybe with EQemu? anyone know info about this?

Now for my question i was wondering about the bit about malware or a problem with my computer, cant i rule this out being the at&t Connection works flawlessly? never a hiccup or issue.

Not necessarily - the only way to be sure is to install EQ Titanium on another machine on the same connection and see if the issue persists. Definitely something worth doing if you can - copying your EQ directory from one computer to another shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes with a USB flash or external drive.

I would reformat my computer but that is a big step and if it is working on another connection it makes me think that is not the problem.

Being able to connect to P99 fine using a different connection definitely lowers the chances that it's a problem with your machine specifically, but it doesn't necessarily rule it out. I wouldn't reformat unless you've exhausted all other options.

Not likely, because on a VPN your connection to the internet is still going through the same ISP as it normally does.

Some people have had success resolving connectivity issues by changing eqhost.txt from:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

to

[LoginServer]
Host=leqemulator.net:5998

And I'm in NC, it's starting to sound like some sort of regional issue with t-mobile.

This could definitely be a possibility - there was a recent flare-up in connectivity issues which also seemed to be regional or ISP-related a couple months back: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=251917. In the past there have also been regional issues caused by data center outages/problems and such - something to do with how traffic is routed through the data centers to the P99 servers.

I don't think there is much we can do on our end, from reading the other forum posts it seems like something that will have to be fixed by the isp. Fortunately it looks like it does always eventually resolve itself.

Started getting this issue again when I updated win10 yesterday, had been using the release version.

If you go into resource monitor you might see BackgroundTransferHost.exe eating up a little bit of bandwidth:

its not much but still more then what p99 uses, right click on it and end the process, it will start back up on its own but it should give you a window of time to log in.

Hmm i tried all of these options with no luck
when i tried this part

I am going to try another install on another computer in the next day or two i need to pick up a mini usb.
thanks for the help guys hopefully it does fix itself

The issue seemed to be a little better for me last night. I was able to login after a few attempts and survive multiple zonings during peak times. Hopefully this is finally getting resolved.
