Do you have a different ISP in your college? I think it might be related to the issue discussed in this thread since I also had the same symptoms: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/61061/can-t-play-game-after-tutorial-in-the-prison/p1
I think KrakhenKr is on to something. I think it's very probable that ISP's are blocking or throttling the game somehow. However, that would seem to be proven false by those who claim that this only happens on a single computer in their household.
Unfortunately giving ESO highest priority in QoS didn't help anything. In fact, it almost made it worse, but it was probably just a coincidence.
This isn't the only time it happens, but the most common times I get kicked are:
1) Opening a chest
2) Casting a spell/using my weapon
3) Moving after standing still
However, I left my game 100% idle just as a test and I still get kicked with the unknown error after a bit.
This is NOT because the servers are stressed. If it were, more people would be having this issue. This has been around since beta for me while others claim it didn't happen in beta. Something is going on and we need to raise awareness, this problem isn't going away on its own.
Hi guys,
First try to run the repair function.
If the issue persists after running a repair make sure that nothing is impairing your connectivity (For instance if you're using wireless, try a to connect via cable, make sure your firewall or your router are not blocking the game)

I dont think it is our isps fault at all since most of us are using different isps and still having the same problem.
But I guess other people isnt experiencing this as well since eso doesnt acknowledge it as their server's problem. So I am guessing only a portion of this game's population are experiencing this, though there are a lot of us, there are also a lot of players not experiencing this
I do hope the dev team look this up and try to help ua even though were minority
