What I have found that the most recent Hotfix, that is supposed to aid in Lag and FPS issues, is actually being blocked by some ISP's. Now, there may be other reasons as to why you are not getting the Hotfix, however this is the most prominent reason that I have found.
The Issue that everyone with 20.0.-1, is you don't have the Hotfix. Just like the patch, if you have not updated to the latest path, you cannot play online gameplay.
ISP's that I have found to have a problem with the Hotfix:
Canadian West- Telus
Canadian East- Bell
(Both Telus and Bell are affiliated with each other, so this could be why)
I have not found any other solutions to fix this issue temporarily until Treyarch grows some balls and gets shit fixed, other that to try using a different ISP (Maybe your friend across the street who can play?) to try and obtain the Hotfix.
Please, if you are receiving this error, comment with your ISP, and general area (State). I will add them to the list of potential ISP problems.

Why would an ISP block a hotfix? It just makes no sense. I've tried my college's internet and my phone's and I know both block nothing. Not only that I was playing fine yesterday doing the "use a different account fix" and now I'm no longer able to play. It's some kind of verification/connection issue with the servers, nothing to do with our end.

ISPs block game traffic and traffic all the time :p
They are not doing it with a purpose of blocking it more by mistake. I has a feeling the DNS tables not updated yet.

But I've tried tethering my phone where I can input a primary and secondary DNS so I really don't see what the problem is.
