I just moved to Canada on a workers visa, and I've been having particularly bad connection problems. A lot of "baboon" messages, and an almost constant influx of "Contacting Destiny Servers". It was manageable the last few days, because I haven't had a lot of time to play, but I logged on to buy Thunderlord from Xur, and as I was purchasing it, it said that I was contacting Destiny servers. I left his store and checked my inventory, and it wasn't there. The "Contacting" bar had disappeared, so I went into xur's inventory again, and I still had 40 strange coins, and no Thunderlord. So I bought it again. After a short delay, I received two, and now I'm out of money. I have plenty of strange coins now here in Toronto, but alas, I am out on Destiny.
Not sure if you can redeem them or something on my account, if not, no worries.
I'm here primarily to ask how I can improve my network connection, and to report the issue.
I have an awesome 250mbps connection here in Toronto, but I can't connect to any games. I don't believe it's an NAT problem either, so I'm kinda drawing a blank. Does it have to do with being in Canada?
Anybody else have this issue before?
Thanks for your time too guys.

Hey Apollo, Unfortunately I cannot refund your accidental purchase from Xur :( With regards to your connection, the best thing you can do is go through the Network Troubleshooting Guide in its entirety: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11930 There's a lot of great options in there for improving your connection. It's also worth noting that connection stability can be more important than connection speed when it comes to staying connected to Destiny. Baboon errors often indicate dropped packets between you, Bungie, and other players. You may want to look into troubleshooting your internet connection and checking if you're having dropped packets when you play
