Can't connect now wtf?

[Trogdor]

Last night I logged in for a couple hours of trading, and three or four times my ping got high enough for the red "connection issue" warning light to start blinking at me for about half a minute, followed by disconnection.

Today I log in, I get from Dresden to New Tokyo with no lag issues at all. Then, just before I'm about to jump to Kyushu, I get lagspiked again. About a minute of sitting in front of the jumpgate with the blinking red light.

Then I manually disconnect myself, wait a bit, try to reconnect.

Now I can't get back in. The server shows up on the list fine, and when I ping the server at the command prompt it comes back fine, ~100ms ping. But when I go to log in to the server, it gets stuck at the character select screen with the "The action is taking longer than expected" message. Then after a while I get sent to a blank character selection screen and, shortly thereafter, disconnected.

Afaik my university isn't undergoing any maintenance and I'm not having any connectivity issues to anything else that I've noticed so far..

[Edit] It finally let me back in after like 20 minutes of trying....but anyone know what might be causing this?
Urg, managed to get into Kyushu and tried to dock with the mooring fixture, booted again. *cries*
