Did anybody else have any problems connecting with the 888 server today? I had these problems the whole day long.
That is why I called their hotline and they told me that all of Germany is affected by this, because they are having problems with one provider. Let us hope, that they will quickly fix it.
Are you sure they aren't implemented some sort of new gambling law in Germany which maybe effects the connectivity to certain websites? You know the exact thing happened at last year's september in Hungary... Suddenly way too many folks needed to opt-in 4 a fine proxy device called ZenMate, cuz the goverment went full retard on gambling issues.

Yes, I am pretty sure, that the german government is not behind these connection problems. We are thankfully not in Hungary here. I am sorry if that sounds offending, because I do not mean it that way. But your Government is or was bullsh1t.
You cannot offend me offending my goverment, trust me I really know what kind of sh1t they are made of - but since as you mentioned these connection problems only effects your couintry you will need to look the broader picture here. Either some ISP in Germany having some problems or somebody tampering with the traffic there - you know the same servers of 888 are working for other countries yet not for yours then it have to be some internal problem IMO.

Actually I have called the german 888 hotline again yesterday evening, because I could not play the lucky star tournament because of many disconnects and they told me, that thea are only having problems with one gernam provider: the German Telekom. But that is by far the biggest and also mine.

If your ISP has such problems it will be hard to overcome the problem. Even if you change provider, their traffic at some point may be connected to the same servers, so you will have the same issues once more. All you can do is hoping, that they will fix it soon.

That is exactely what I will do. Just wait until they solve the issue and to be honest it has gotten better day by day. I only sometimes have disconnects now and that is OK. By the way changing my provider would not help I think, because mine is the biggest and best equiped in Germany.
