Connection problems

[Yerland]

Ok, so I've got 4.86 all installed correctly and everything worked fine(mostly). I could even get on the server and for awhile the connection seemed to be fine.
I live in Washington state(northwest USA) and my ping has always been around 190 ms, just good enough to play on the main server(the USA server never had enough players to motivate me to spend the time to build up alot of credits to have fun) without much trouble.
Now after about maybe an hour on the server my ping jumps to 300 ms and sits there, and so far I've been unable to even connect to the server to see my characters. I would like to know if there is anything I could try to do to fix my connection on my end or if I just have to pray that the problem fixes itself and/or switch to the USA server.
