Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

I had almost never network problems in beta 1, but in beta 2 (including 2.03) I seem to have them all. I've seen the start menu displayed in red, I've got alerts saying that the server couldn't be accessed "check your connection and try again later" while the client loaded, I've got Lost connection to the server alerts while in space, I've got the same while loading the bulletin board, or after accepting a mission, I've got hangs exiting SC (the kind where the sound and the graphics still work as expected but that never end and forces you to ctrl+alt+delete), and I've probably forgotten others.

I have a pretty decent cable connection (100M down, 5M up) that usually runs between 50 and 80 Mbps down and 4.5 to 4.9 Mbps up, and I'm not connecting through wifi. And when I get these disconnections from ED, it's the only program with that problem. I can still stream web radios, for example.

Tonight those disconnections were so frequent that I finally gave up, completely frustrated.

Hey Andy
This sounds interesting. I have no idea what you are talking about, so If you're in the know in these matters, can I convince you to create a new topic in Hardware and Technical describing how it's done?

Is there an easy one two three step guide?
Can you link to good guidelines on the subject?

How to get better, more stable connections is paramount to most of us I think.

Cheers.
