Ok, Please try the following thing:
0) Is cosmos the only addon you use?
1) when you are in your char inlog screen, click on the addon button
2) note down which addon has dependencies to which other addon
3) BACKUP your interface folder and delete all addons (except the Blizzard addons). (note the uppercase in the word backup, since I don't want you to lose anything)
4) Copy the addons back one by one and start the game each time (this takes time). Here, take into account which addons has dependencies on which other addons (start with the addons without dependencies and work your way up).

If anywhere during 4 you find the addon that is the culprit for your problems, report it, since then the Cosmos crew can fix the problem.
But right now they know the same as I do and that is: NOTHING (sorry if this might sound harsh, but to fix the problem they need to know where the problem orriginates, they can't see through your eyes (to bad, since else they could fix problems more quickly) and say without any further info: that is the problem). (And most important they are volunteers, not a professional company).

Thank you for answering (if you do).

I believe this has already been addressed and the main cause of this is flood protection on blizzards servers.

There is 'some' theoretical limit to data being sent/recieved by the WoW servers, once this threshold has been passed it will cause what first appears to be a lag spike/lock up.. then blam .. your sitting at the login screen.

Generally this seems to have the most problems with Party Quests mod in cosmos. It was so bad originally that they had to patch it.

Modules like Telepathy (ex: Sky) were for bandwidth throttling limiting how much is sent in 'hidden channels' so you don't get disconnected.

Issue with this disconnection isn't as easy as it sounds; as it's not like there's some max character per second limit. It's a max data transfer rate limit. As to what the 'number' is I'm uncertian and possibly is changed by blizzard. (my theory is to avoid 'speed hackers')

Long of the short it could be because your in a group; I've had nothing but problems with this mod (party quests) and it seems very buggy, and non informative at best. Where as I'm hoping blizzard will add similar functionality into the default UI soonish.
