Ohh dear, Anet WHAT have you done with this latest patch. I was having the non-stop disconnects, code 7 to the point of i was just gonna stop playing and come back in a few months and hope to god it was all fixed. But someone suggested WTFast proxy software and to my amazment i got 5 days of totally dc and lag free playtime. Just got home from work, down loaded the patch and attempted to login, attempted to login again and then again and then after a lengthy hang time i managed to get in. Then the code7 started again, 2 steps forward DC to character screen, login 2 steps and DC (well rinse and repeat, you get the idea). I had such high hopes Arena-net would make some headway with this issue with this patch

I have had these issues on and off since launch. I prefer to play on overflow servers as these tend to disconnect less often than being logged into my home server. But as i am now near the end game zones with less population i am unable to get into overflow servers and today for eg, i have been trying to GW2 for the 1 1/2 hours and have experienced about 5 mins of playtime due to getting disconnected to the character selection screen within 20-90 seconds of loging in. i tried the port80 command line and disconnected just as fast.
Here is my Diag file, hope this helps as it does appear to show some packet loss (not that i really know much about this sort of stuff)
All my PC specs are in that, im connected via ethernet cable to a BT homehub2 which in my opinion isnt great for gaming and a lot of my lag issues are usually fixed by cold resetting (powering off for over 2 mins). I have forwarded all ports other than 80 and 443 as other people on this home network play other online games so i cant pinch these ports for myself.
