Ever since the update the game will randomly freeze for like a minute at a time for mulitple people and then go back to normal. Except for this time I think its completely stuck now.

Yeah, just hit 2+min loading times between sectors. Both in Azek iirc.

Almost unplayable, I was frozen undocking 3 times and had to force quit vo.

Yes, the internet is sad today (or angry, or passive-aggressive). Problems at Level3, AT&T, Cogent, Verizon and Time Warner Cable.

We also adjusted some things to improve our situation. But a lot of it is external.

Things currently seem better.

It was affecting my network yesterday too (out of game), but it was intermittent and I'm lazy and determined the problem was external to my network, so I just decided to let other people report and deal with it.
