The issues that providers are seeing, some of which is hopefully resolved in R9 is happening across the board and it's random enough where some servers are running fine while others are unfortunately not. It could be a mixture of gametypes/3rd party admin tools/maps/backend issues etc - I think we've seen a wide variety of possibly causes.
As it has already been said on this thread, the same issues are being reported on other forums and it's not something specific to our servers. Unfortunately, we (RSPs) have been through this scenario before where servers work fine at XYZ company but not on ZYX company. As with your example, we have tons that say the exact opposite.
1 out of every 3 servers that exists today is from GameServers.com, which is a substantial amount given the number of RSPs that are offering BF3. If the issue is isolated to us, that ratio would clearly diminish very quickly.
Although, our forums have a large amount of posts where admins are reporting their issues, relatively speaking the amount if far smaller than the number of admins that we are providing BF3 hosting for. This plus the fact that our forums are always the most popular GSP forum does increase the # of posts in general.
