i get this occur far too often. For me i struggle to connect to the wipeout servers mainly during peak times when my isp throttles my internet to near non existance. Other times i can connect and play with no problems at all. So for me it is up to the will of the wipeout gods whether i get to race online or not. Very frustrating when u have arranged to meet people from all over the world at a particular time and then cant connect. I was tryin continuously for 2 hours last night. I wasnt a happy bunny to say the least.
