For me, it's even worst. Even Trillian keeps logging out every 5~10
minutes...
I've tried even to change my account at passport site, without success (in
fact, the time got little longer, before that i was disconnected every 2~5
minutes, now it's 5~10... )

It seems to be something related to account. Few days ago they ripped out
the wallet feature. Hackers got in? Service levels compromised?
