Mine is up and down. When I get up in the morning it connects and works fine, however when I come home after work in the evening most times it will not connect at all (like last night). Late in the evening I can sometimes get connected then for no reason I get booted back to the AVOV home screen. When I try to go back in I get spinning circles and nothing connects.
I am starting to form a theory that the powers that be are only letting a certain number of connections to the server, hence why some can connect and some cannot. If they only allow 10,000 connections then the 10,001 and up will have spinning circles trying to connect. Then later when someone who is connected decides to disconnect for whatever reason, all of a sudden someone who could not connect before gets connected and then posts "they're back up". Then later posts they are back down again because they disconnected and lost their position in line. Just a theory.....
