Southwest attempting to reconnect

My friend and I both just disconnected at the exact same time. It was in the same manner as when the drophacks were occurring over a year ago.

The weird thing is, we are not on the same internet, we do not have the same ISP. Our other friend has no connection issues. We are all in Skype still. Our internet itself is fine, on both parts.

How would this happen? Both of us magically DC at the exact same time, with almost nothing in common except us being in the same game and living in the same town.

So, loss prevented? Server status update? Anything? Normally I usually get around 80-90 ping. In fact, today was just fine. Guess I know how EU West feels. And for the record, this is coming from the Austin, Texas, so it's not like its on the east coast.

EDIT: So it looks like it's an entire Midwest/Southwest thing. Just like a few weeks ago... So East coast has 400 ping, Midwest/Southwest can't even connect, and then there's West coast...
