What's causing FiOS users to get so much lag since 2.1?

My connection doesn't have a problem with everything else I use it for, btw. Just ARR.

Statement: On a serious note, run a traceroute on the IP of the server you are on (available on ARR Status. Should give a general idea where the break in the pipe is so to speak. If it in your ISP, open a ticket with them via their help desk, if it is with SE, use the traceroute as evidence with Customer Service.

Yup tried this though I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Trace route took 16 hops with normal ranging pings on each hop (generally less than 60ms). So no "leaks" here on my end.

Comcast, Seattle. Getting bad spikes and got kicked with lockup. Had to restore data on ps3. Tested with Netflix (I know not a game) loaded fine. Here's to hoping.

Bump...

After the update tonight I jumped on to test... All seemed well, however it was not meant to be. The lag is still there, and angrier than ever.

The issue seems to be with Level3. Large packet loss at ae11.edge2.NewYork.level3.net as well as ae-11-11.car2.montreal2.level.net typically speaking. Seems to be better 2AM-10AM EST or so but awful during normal usage time.

Before 2.1 (before the servers required us to select the corresponding data centres specifically) I was able to dodge the entirety Titan HM unscathed.... Since 2.1 "rubberbanding" has caused more than a few deaths on my part (even in lesser difficulty Dungs./Raids let alone XM) I am sad to admit. This is not an isolated incident, no matter how close to the Datacentre you are are geographically. (I myself am only 8 Hrs drive from Montreal). My hope is that many people bump this thread so we can (possibly) get a response from the Dev team.
If not, C'est la vie. Ill keep playing because love this game, I just cant stand dying to "rubberband lag".

Fios here as well. From Delaware my trace route seems to go to Dallas, then to Chicago, then up to Montreal. Wonder if WTFast may help with better route.

I'm also getting terrible lag freezes. Didnt even see one of the landslides last night on Titan EX, until i was in mid air.

Also using FiOS, it's been terrible since the patch (was fine before). 2-3 second lag spikes, 90000 errors where I used to never get them, teleporting players/NPCs... Can't do some of the HMs anymore at all, Titan hits with me with weights and I never even see them.

Even mining is annoying now, often I have click 2-3 times just to get a node to gather once.

I'm on east coast FiOS and I was having the same issue. I googled my way into this reddit thread.

People in there reported positive experiences with WTFast and after trying it out last night it seems to have cleared up my issues as well. You can use this program for a month for free with no sign up so it's worth a shot if you're having problems. Hopefully whatever we're all running into will be fixed in that time. :p

My fiancee and I are still having problems with this lag, and we have fios as well. Hoping the maint. they had last night cleared it up but I guess not :<
