College Campus Connectivity - ESO could fail in couple of months

Similar to Destiny's release. Connection through campus internet would fail. You would be able to play for about 5 minutes until you loose connection to the server. Destiny WAS able to fix this problem and college students were able to connect. Now, I know it's summer right now, but when college students head back to school...they will most likely not be able to play. Can ESO fix this issue like Destiny?

    "Ultimately, it was determined that campus IT departments were using network monitoring devices that misinterpreted Destiny’s servers as bit torrent servers." Can this be the solution?

    “We have determined the cause at the root of most of the issues being encountered on university campuses. We have been in touch with network admins at most of the universities listed on this forum (thanks again for helping us help you). In summary, there are network security devices that have been incorrectly identifying Destiny traffic as a bit-torrent. We have also reached out the manufacturers of the security devices in question. They’ve been awesome, and have released an update that will allow you to play on a network protected by their hardware. That update will need to be applied by your local network administrators, assuming they have not done this already."
