Yeah - usual generic error message that fails to help. Bandwidth is not going to help when the servers simply are unable to process the requests. It's not like anyone's connection isn't fast enough, the servers just are not able to serve any data. I'm sure there will be 100's of people on the forums defending MS/Asobo, but there really is no need to. The release has been a word not allowed show, we know it, they know it; now it's really a case what are they doing to resolve the problems and that is where clear and regular communication and acting at least a little contrite goes a long way.
