I never had problems before the previous update (still buzy with the newest large update) but after that update, I could never play BF3 again.

Thank You,

Why will contacting them be any different?

I am running through Megasurf -> MWeb connection, on a 521kb/p connection.
Never had problems with BF3 before the update, and my other games do not have any problems.

This is caused by our WISP(Megasurf), they are blocking the traffic, hence the packet flow error, i own 2 BF3 servers and one i've got punkbuster enabled and the other not and guess what.... yip the punkbuster one still kicks you!!

I take it that you still can't play the game... i spoke to the owner of Megasurf(i've got a 4mbps uncapped line) and he said that i have to provide him with the ip's of evenbalance.com, thats all gud but one prob how the F*** do i get these ip's and hostnames? i've given him what i could track down....
but it still does not work :/

so if you could give me the ip's and hostnames where BF3 connects to then i can get him to add these.

I bought the game and had exact 20 hours of gameplay when it came out, there after and 3 patches later still no go.

hope to hear from you and if you could help would be awesome!!!
