Finally fixed my daughter's destiny zoo problem (caterpillars, baboons, etc) and comcast with technicolor modems.
Solution was to set up a separate router using tomato or dd-wrt and a vpn account with IPVanish.
I am visiting my daughter right now here in San Jose, CA. I saw first hand how often she would get kicked out of destiny. She was getting booted out every time she tried to join a public event, or even randomly in the middle of a strike. This was happening every 15 minutes.
What I did was to get an Asus RT-66U router, install tomato shibby on it, put it right in front of the xbox 360, and set up a vpn link (openvpn) to IPVanish's servers in Seattle. We've been playing all day today and destiny has been rock solid.
Also, I had brought down another xbox 360, I also set that one up for myself to play on. For this one, I used an Asus RT-N16 router flashed with DD-WRT, also set up to vpn into IPVanish's servers (this time I tried their San Jose servers).
Both of us were able to play all day on destiny without being kicked off even once!
Total cost : around $100 - $150 per router,
$6 per month for the ipvanish account.
Being able to play Destiny uninterrupted: priceless sigh of relief!

Ooooor, Bungie could FIX WHATEVER ISSUE IS CAUSING THEIR SERVERS TO BE SO SHIT. I hate to bitch and whine so much, but when you're constantly getting booted from a game to the point were it becomes unplayable and then they tell you it's your fault even though you have ABSOLUTELY ZERO ISSUES WITH YOUR CONNECTION WITH ANYTHING ELSE it kinda pisses me off. I shouldn't have to drop $100+ just for my connection to work with ONE GAME.
