Yeah, this something hourly. I think Virgin Media is possibly fetching BGP routes from the internet every hour and applying them to some equipment. But then cost-saving changes are applied on top (that routing to Amsterdam). But for a brief moment before the cost-saving routes are applied then the traffic goes a different route and the equipment on that route sends back RST packets.
There is a grain of truth here on why it may feel like this matters. What matters is if the client is active or not, and it always active in space (receiving physics simulation updates) while it may be less active in station and therefore a brief issue like this may pass it by.
The scenario we think we are looking (this is a conjecture/hypothesis; but not a theory yet, for that we are waiting on more data from players and replies from Virgin Media and Cloudflare) are regular but very brief BGP flaps / routing changes. Your EV...

Is it a count-down?!? 
We will know when either they tell us or the disconnects stop happening… There was a disconnect spike at 19:00 this time and nothing at 19:55. But then again, there were minor spikes hourly even there were larger spikes every 4 hours.
Our test server network is in a different geographical location to the production network and is not behind Cloudflare’s systems. If you trace the route, then you will get very different paths.

В связи с ограничением валютного обмена с банками Российской Федерации наш поставщик платежных сервисов больше не обрабатывают платежи в рублях, из-за чего приём оплаты в рублях в магазине EVE Online приостановлен на неопределённый срок.
Игроки из Российской Федерации смогут по-прежнему оплачивать товары на нашем сайте, но списание будет производиться в долларах США, как происходит в других странах, валюты которых технически не поддерживаются.
Indeed, we think the trace route is “corrupt” in the sense that you started it when the new route was in effect and as the trace route was running then new old route came back into effect; so the result is a mix of the two. We are still hoping it provides insight to Cloudflare and Virgin Media, along with the discovery of the regularity, but more trace routes would help us and them piece together what that new route is.
We are amazed that you caught it; Cloudflare had been asking for this and we had been telling them this would be next to impossible.
BTW, we have already sent this to Cloudflare and Virgin Media. VM has already replied and escalated the case further.
Hello all Virgin Media UK EVE players!
Fantastic engagement in this thread here as we at CCP continue to feed information to Virgin Media UK and Cloudflare on this issue and great team work!!! Special thanks to @Jander_Massek for catching the route change and to @Harvy_Powney, @Cade102 and everyone else for spotting the regularity and sending us details.
We have a favour to ask you. Ther...
Read moreI would love to get the full data; if you don’t want to post that here, then please file a support ticket and name drop me and GM Mechanic.
Thanks; the network people are now chewing on this.
BTW, 162.158.32.0/22 is AS13335, which is Cloudflare. So that last route is VM => CF => Telia => CF.
Oh, fantastic! We need that trace route.

I’ve been looking at the past few days; and it almost looks like there is some hourly processing happening at 10 to 5 minutes to the hour and approx. at 11:55, 15:55, 19:50, and 23:55 large disconnect happen every day and smaller ones in between.
Thanks for telling us here that VPN resolves the issue; it’s important for us to hear this so that we can let Virgin Media UK (and Cloudflare know). Please send us a support ticket on your issue as we may ask people to do some experiments for us but most importantly contact Virgin Media and raise the issue with them.
