In a thread Q-3P0 is asking users to comment in the previously noted thread if you're having issues connecting to SWG and are a Comcast or Verizon broadband customer. Some Road Runner users are now comcast and I believe the majority of the AT&T broadband users are now Comcast.
"Sony Online's network engineers are attempting to work with Comcast and Verizon to clear up any port blocking that may be affecting SWG Gameplay. Since this issue involves external networks, we cannot provide an estimated time of resolution. If you are experiencing this problem, it will be helpful to provide the geographical region that you are playing from." was all that could be said at the time of the post but I'm sure they're working to get the issues resolved ASAP.
