While I know many TDE users are from Europe, and therefore are used to much higher levels of service (and much higher penetration of decent service levels), the TDE project is based in the United States. Over here, high speed and high reliability Internet service is simply unavailable in many locations. Trust me when I say the poor service is impacting the profitable end of the business co-located with the TDE servers, and as such the entire datacenter is scheduled to be physically moved to a location with much better service in the next 3 - 6 months. As you can imagine, a move of this scale takes time; it has been in the planning phase for over 6 months now. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
