Problems for USA user connecting to USA Servers

[nexsteppe 24]

For the past month (or two?), I've had problems connecting to USA servers.  On those rarer occasions when I do successfully connect, the connection rarely lasts long (anywhere from ~5 minutes to an hour), at which point the connection stalls with no data apparently successfully sent or received.  I am having problems connecting to these servers both from home and at work, which use different service providers.  Prior to my difficulty, I could use almost any USA server without problems.  But right now, I have no problems in sustaining connections to servers in Canada, but can't seem to use any USA server.

 

Changing operating systems seems to make no difference, as the connection troubles appear to be exactly the same whether I use Windows 7 Professional x64 and Linux x64 (Trisquel) with the latest Eddie client.  A typical failed connect transcript is copied from my log below.

 

Any thoughts as to what might be going on?

 

Thank you for your time!
