Sorry but the fix i have in mind wont go down well but il tell you what happened with me.
For around two years i had the very same problem with all EA games expecially Bad Company 2 and it carried on with the beta of BF3 i tried everything, me and Gorman spent a whole evening trying to fix the problem with no light at the end of the tunnel then the final retail came out and i still had the problem. I was going to spend a few weeks at my fathers and due to my isp (02) almost doubling my monthly payment to them i decided to cancel my subscription and find another isp while i was away over the two weeks, i changed my isp to talk talk buisness as they offered me the best deal when i got back home i plugged in the the new router fully expecting the same problem id had previously but no it all worked fine. I could be wrong but my guess its a issue with your isp and i have no idea how its fixable without changing providers but if you take a look about you may find a solution.

Im with Virgin Media and still get this sometimes, more often with BC2 than BF3 what would happen is on the first game i would join it would immediately boot me, once i got back in then it was ok until i came back to play another time. Very annoying.
This makes me think you might benefit from ensuring punk buster is updated and running ok.

That i do believe was a game bug it has supposed to have been patched or at least it has worked for me.

I think the main thing I have problems with is either being kicked due to full server (make way for rmembers) or I simply drop connection for a second (happens in WoW too - just have to relogin). I have never seen a "Violation" message before, which leads me to lean more towards the Punkbuster thing. If it were an ISP/connection thing, I'd think you'd see the same messages I get that simply say "disconnected from server" or "cannot connect to EA Online" etc.

Might sound dumb, ever tried Portforward and UPnP? Portforwarding my WoW has made my connection better
