BF3 Disconnecting from Servers Frequently

[dusk_raidz]

hello i'm having connection issues with the BF3 Servers.

i connect and join a server in my region for best ping.
i play abit maybe a full match then after a new round start ( map rotates) i start playing and then randomly loose connection games pulls me out i get loading screen then back to server listings.

i never get you have lost connection/been kicked/ from server notifications.
i'v called my isp they did a run through everything OKAY
i was playing and was disconnected got a notification saying Check your network connection and make sure that port 3659 (UDP) is open.

i don't know what 3659 port is?

Can you try a science experiment? Log in, but don't join a server for about 10 minutes. Do you get kicked? It's possible you're loosing connection to the EA Master Server, which can happen if your router blocks certain protocols.
