I can't play at Weekends
For some reason this is happening at weekends. I can't play or sign in the game during weekends. I get Error Codes: Chicken, weasel, centipede cabbage, and kale Whats left is Code: Mayonaise. Then I play League of Legends or DoTA 2 just fine. Am I missing something here?

I play in the Philippines so yeah Internet here can be pretty bad. But everything is working fine except for Destiny 2.

Not missing anything, those are all networking connectivity errors. Does your network performance change over the weekend? Does the route stay the same (use tracert)? Is your internet shared?

Interesting that it's correlated with weekends.

Don't know. We go to the best Net cafe in town which has a consistent internet. But for some reason Weekends is where all go to ♥♥♥♥ in Destiny 2 in my area in my experience. Also my Friend's account doesn't even work anymore since NPCs don't show up for a week now with error Cabbage and Bungie isn't doing anything about it. Playing tf2 perfectly right now.

Sadly Bungie isn't going to deploy network engineers to diagnose why your local network is bad. I'd start with getting tracert at good time and at bad time, and look for what your dropped packet rate is and what your route is during normal days.

Omg. Then its hopeless. We have a Multiple Modems in the cafe with personal Servers to at least handle 65-100 players simultaneously without lag.

The problem is not you or even the internet Cafe.

The problem is almost certainly that the ISP used by the internet Cafe is a major telephone company with its own global network that reaches all the way to the US, combined with bad choices by Bungie:

1) Bungie chose to have a single central location for their servers IN the US. they also chose to save money by having limited capacity at their servers and ISP. The capacity is fine most of the time except at peak hours when it gets congested. Even then, it is good enough that if you are nearby you will be able to play because your latency (ping) will not increase so much that you get kicked from games. Finally, Bungie's code has very little tolerance for latency and will kick you saying that it is your internet even when the biggest contributor is their own servers (verified the last time they had server troubles and the error messages - to every player - still blamed the players internet).

2) Such telephone companies also save money by using their own network to reach the US, that is also capacity limited. Again, capacity is fine except at peak times. Even then, it is good enough for most games except Destiny. So, even in cases when Destiny server/internet isn't failing to meet capacity you could still be unable to play. And no local troubleshooting will help, as bandwidth test pages usually run only against local servers, so you could easily have 100Mbps internet and still experience issues to the US.

So, if your problem had been only for a short time yesterday, I could confidently say that it was a minor capacity issue at Bungie's end. But if it happens every weekend then the issue is almost certainly lack of capacity on the big pipe used by your telephone company uses to reach the US.

---

Regardless, as you already observed, the issue only happens with Destiny and other games are fine and even your Discord is crystal clear to every other player, including those in the US or any other part of the world. That indicates that the problem is that Destiny has much higher demands for internet capacity and less tolerance for capacity and latency issues.

This kind of problem will only be solved by a major Destiny design change. Such thing is extremely unlikely in Destiny 2 and if done it will happen in Destiny 3. Of course, Bungie does not care much about their customers, so as long as they make enough money they are unlikely to spend the money, time and effort to fix the issue.

Is the cafe more popular at the weekend? Doesn't matter how amazing the internet at the cafe is, if multiple people are using it for streaming, you're going to choke each other.

Definitely not. Its a Church day so not a lot of people go out.

Perhaps you've caused the cafe to be throttled by their ISP? 😂

No one is playing Destiny 2 today here. In fact some people are pissed because they can't meet Xur for today.

As I said, it is likely not the Cafe.

When you look for a new Cafe, try one that uses a different ISP/telephone company. You might have better luck.

There are more people online, that is why the capacity is used up. Question is, is there another option for the OP with a higher bandwidth available, and is he, or she willing to pay for that. In this scenario, I would prefer a cabel (for my router) instead of WLAN.
Thanks to all of your comments it really helps. Well not exactly helping but I have more insight of the issue. I'm still trying to help my friend with the Error Cabbage issue with No NPCs showing up for 2 weeks with the same Cafe Please take note this isn't a issue towards me but my friend now.

Does the web cafe have IP security? It might be a problem with the actual cafè' router settings.
Generally they would monitor the IP addresses of those connecting to their internet so they can block you if you do illegal activities such as downloading from unofficial places.

No IP security. It does have a Reset of Data every time a User Leaves.

Mostly Dota 2 and PUBG peasants

I'm already reporting the issues on the Net Cafe. Destiny 2 Players at my cafe are frustrated because it only affects Destiny 2. Warframe works well and its Monday here so Weekends no one can play at my area. We are also looking at the Net Provider but no Maintenance on Weekends so we crossed that possibility.
