Are they doing a full Maintance or a Reboot?
Are they being effected by the DOOMSDAY DNS issues?
A Change in Life, what?! You're joking right?

Well I guess I'll watch Return of the Jedi while I wait. Spike TV ran all 6 of the SW movies starting with Episode I.

That said in Europe UKs internet is not that good compared to the rest of it. but 50+mbits is not that uncommon for some residentials people now
I have 30 Mbs here at home and work has 100 Mbs in Anaheim, CA ... so I have no clue what he's on about.

Unless he's confusing megaBITS with megaBYTES ...

again, there's a factor 10 (in real life) / factor 8 (in theory) difference betweetn mbps / mbit and MB/s:
100 mbit = 12.5 MB/s theoretical

If it were any bigger it would jump out and bite you. ;p

I don't mind that they have to restart servers (after all things happen), but since it wasn't an emergency and they knew at least 30 min before they started the restarts that they could have sent in-world notifications as a courtesy.

I also do not believe this is a server restart issue. Even 80x86 processors can reboot faster. I think Bioware has simply indicated that its a server restart (all worlds, west coast, east coast, Europe and Asia) but is more likely an emergency bug fix as there shouldn't be a need to restart servers in 4 parts of the world all at the same time to resolve a lag issue since each server would be using its own routers, in different data centers, etc. etc.
