In my experience (as of about a year ago) the jabber.org servers are -I guess- seriously overloaded. Frequent disconnection or failures to login were the norm for my @jabber.org account. If I had to guess, I would bet that they're under frequent "attack", but I really have no idea.
Does anyone have any more recent information on the health of jabber.org's XMPP service?
I think jabber.org is indeed overloaded and they don't accept new registrations since 2013.
See my answer to the GP about available servers.
