Constitantly disconnected from games/EA servers, but not xbox live

I've been getting disconnected from games/ea servers pretty frequently recently. My connection is about 50mb down/10mb up. I have the necessary ports forwarded to my 360 which has a static IP assigned from the router. I even turned UPnP on as well. We're using a router/modem in one provided by Comcast, and the firmware indicates it's updated by the ISP so nothing I can do there. We have our own router, I guess I could try converting the router/modem into just a modem, if that level of modification is even available on that thing, and then plug in our linksys and see if that helps any. I really doubt that it would though.

I don't get disconnected from Xbox Live, however I guess that kinda makes sense as really it only takes a second or two interruption in game to disconnected you from the game, but it would probably take a longer timeout to disconnect from xbox live.

Has anyone else noticed these problems? I can play gta online for hours and have no problems, but I'm routinely disconnected from hut games and otp games... very frustrating to have such fast internet but be routinely interrupted. Router logs show nothing out of the ordinary either... also one strange thing is I'm unable to ping my xbox from my pc, even though they're both hooked up to the same switch, and my xbox see's the PC (i'm able to stream music/videso from pc to xbox). I read somewhere that it's normal to not be able to ping your xbox from your pc though... which seems a bit odd but I didn't question it further.


Any help here would outstanding, this is basically the only game I play anymore and this severely diminishes my experience with it.

    Hey man just a head up. You should read the issues coming from the other EA games too. A lot of people are having this issue right now. EA is too lazy and too cheap to fix anything. This problem has been happening since release. I have lost all my progress in EA's Battle Field 4 game due to constant server crashes. Its would help if EA had a little competition so it would motivate them to do something about these issues. In NHL 13 I went going the entire time the game was released not having any Do Not Finishes. This NHL 14 alone has ruined my stats 10 fold and the more you lose connection the less points earned at the end of the game.  EA has the power to do something about this game but rather keep adding Featured packs that never pay off.  And stupid mindless tournaments that a monkey can beat. All and all its EA's crap servers nothing to due with your connection.

    I don't know, there's a core group of guys I play OTP with and they never get disconnected while we're playing. I get disconnected very often while playing with them and playing on my own in hut/gm. I'm going to try setting my 360 as a DMZ server tonight and see if that helps at all, not holding my breath at this point though.

    I dont get it either. I just got new high speed internet and it happens to me constanlty. I can get a round of battle field in before the game freezes up on me. I swear it has something to do with EA and the new gen consoles. Maybe they thought everyone will make the next gen jump and thent they can recycle the old 360 or ps3 servers. Now they dont have enough for both and dont want to spend the money on new ones since one day games will expand. Either way good luck hope things work out for you
