It's the price you pay to live in Timbuktu or wherever.

Since the site only controls a small part of the connection, they can't fix everything. They have to make decisions on how to handle lag and disconnects and code to minimize those as much as possible but there is only so much that can be done.
.
They still have not fixed the issues. I have tried Chrome and even Firefox with No-script and Ad-block. Both are terrible, with every other game running into connection problems. The No-script notifies me of cross-site scripting every 30 seconds or so, usually from some advertiser. I won't risk buying a membership. It's time to try some other site.

I do know that between midnight and 1 am pacific EVERY DAY I can’t make a move in daily or access the forums. Live games work though. This happens EVERY DAY.

Adding insult to injury admins try to convince you the problem is on your side.
You spend your time experimenting with different connection settings and the problem persists.
(When chess.com first tried to establish it's own wiki page, it kept getting deleted as not unique enough or not important enough to deserve its own page. Quite rightly so.)
What else could it be, but your connection?
Thousands of us play every day without any problems.

And tens of thousands don't.
The fact that something happens to you does not mean that it happens to tens of thousands every day.
If that actually reflected reality, there would be hundreds of new complaining posts every day- not a few people with bad wifi connections dredging up year-old threads.

Reason these threads reappear is chesscom IT failing to address them.
You should be a mod. Every time someone mentions problems on a forum thread, you say what a mod usually says. Hope a few weeks free membership is sufficient compensation for you.
You are accusing me of giving directions to a member of the German occupation forces? Wouldn't that put you in the role of being one of the occupation force?
Hmm. Did one your ancestors give wrong directions when the Netherlands were overrun and occupied? Do you come from a long line of people who believed it was their duty to give out misinformation when they couldn't fight?
/ Well, I won't stoop that low. And that approach may not spur the IT guys to put in the hours to help you out with your little problem but I will still try to get you to consider that getting a better local connection or wifi router or upgrading that Windows 95 computer is the least you can do.
@notmtwain You really need to stop hijacking threads. you did the same to me when i posted about (still unresolved) issues with the app losing time. It's pathetic and not helping anyone, least of all chess.com Yes - many people play fine under similar conditions - but based upon the forums - many people also DON'T! So please... if you have nothing to add other than "its your connection"... STFU!

You should try some of the other connection settings that Chess.com has made available in the last 6 months or so, since your current ones clearly aren't working for you: https://www.chess.com/blog/News/how-to-adjust-your-live-chess-connection
For a general overview of how connections work, see https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444918-my-internet-connection-is-fine---why-am-i-getting-disconnects-
Hmm, please let mod David know of your concerns.
Site owner and CEO Erik also apologized in this thread last summer for a server crash one day. Those things happen.
Frequent contributor Martin Stahl also reminded people that 2+million games a day are played here successfully.
/ I guess if you had read the thread you would know these things....

crashed twice within the last two months.
Well I can't diagnose your connection problems but the fact that you tried to change your settings does not prove that it is fast and stable.
and servers crash. It happens. I think it's nice that he came here to explain when that happened last summer.
They also sent out an apology for the Titled Tuesday crash. https://www.chess.com/blog/News/february-titled-tuesday-apology-announcement-for-march
