    The last couple of days I have been getting disconnected very frequently. The error message I get is the PELICAN network congestion message. My ISP hasn't been able to find any issues and I haven't had much problems with anything else.

    Is there anything I can try that might remedy the problem?

    Just wanted to report back that I did get a call from my ISP today saying that there is a problem with the service in my area after all, so that is most likely to blame. It does seem to have much more of a negative effect on my connection to SotA than anything else though.

    happens to me whenever my ISP is doing something like maintenance or upgrade or just fixing something... when that happens I use wtfast which kinda stabilize my connection to the game server of SotA allowing me to connect and not get disconnected....

    this is odd as my ISP (Verizon Fios Gig speed) says they have no idea what Pelican is.

    Pelican is a code name for network error.

    I suspect it is the US Government implementing some classified data mining tools. :D

    The US government under the current administration is not smart enough to undertake such an endeavor.
