    I've recently gone off to college and have since been almost entirely unable to connect to battle.net. It worked fine on the computer before the move, so it's almost definitely the network here.

    I can sign on to starcraft 2 & play single player/replays but as soon as i try to play a match i get the full 60 second of lag required to get dropped in the first 15 seconds of gameplay.

    Anyone have any tips on how to get the game (battle.net specifically) functional? I can't even log into the battle.net forums, since the throttling is so bad.

    Get an apartment and get your own internet, or talk to your collage IT department about making sure all the ports necessary to play StarCraft 2 are open.

    This is a common issue, I'm surprised you can even log into battle.net. If talking nice to your IT department doesn't work, you'll have to pay for a service like wowtunnels to play StarCraft 2. If you can't connect to wowtunnels on a trail account, your pretty screwed cause that means your network is really locked down well.

    Collage hard knocks. :/ I'd lean toward talking to the IT department, or find out if anyone is playing World of Warcraft, HOW they are doing it.

    what about tethering through an iPhone to 3G? It is still really slow to connect, and I am trying to make that work atm. Has anyone had good luck with that?
